Across the world, dia channels went into a frenzy.
"Breaking news! The Hall of Fa gateway has opened for the first ti in history!"
"The identity of the Blood King may finally be revealed!"
"Is the first king of players not a vampire? Experts are baffled!"
Broadcasts replayed the statue from every angle, zooming in on the unmistakable figure carved into stone.
Analysts, comntators, and anchors all began discussing the implications.
"If this is accurate, then the Blood King was never a vampire from the start…"
"Then how did he build a vampire kingdom?"
"Is this a hidden class? A transformation? Or sothing entirely unknown?"
Speculation spread rapidly.
anwhile, online forums and communities exploded with theories.
Comnts flooded in.
— "Wait… isn't this the sa person who dominated the Red Knight raid?"
— "No way… White Lion Alan?? That guy?"
— "The one who wiped out multiple Red Knights squads alone?"
— "This explains everything… his combat style was never normal."
So players began comparing footage they had seen before.
And slowly—
Recognition dawned.
White Lion Alan.
A na already infamous among players.
The sa individual who had single-handedly crushed multiple Red Knight forces… the sa man whose strength had remained a mystery until now.
"It really is him…"
One viewer murmured while watching the broadcast.
"So the Blood King… is White Lion Alan."
Shock turned into realization.
And realization—
Into disbelief.
Because now it was clear to everyone—
The man who stood at the top of the vampire kingdom…
Was not a vampire.
In the central broadcast studio, the anchor swallowed hard, trying to maintain composure.
"W-we are receiving confirmation from multiple sources…"
She glanced at the screen again, then back at the cara.
"…The Blood King is indeed identified as White Lion Alan, a player previously known for his overwhelming combat achievents."
Behind her, the analysts were already arguing.
"His rise must have been through a hidden path—there's no other explanation."
"No recorded vampire lineage. No transformation event. Nothing."
"That ans he either conquered the throne by force… or triggered an unknown class evolution."
"Or both."
At the sa ti, in various player hubs and guild halls, reactions were just as intense.
Guild leaders stood frozen as they replayed the footage.
"…So that's him."
"…The sa guy who never joined any major faction."
"…And yet sohow beca a king."
So clenched their fists.
Others fell silent.
Because one truth beca unavoidable—
They had been operating in the sa world as soone who had already reached the top… without anyone realizing it.
In a distant guild headquarters, a Zibal exhaled slowly.
"White Lion Alan… huh."
He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing.
"To think he was also the First Player to beco the King"
"While I am rely a Marquis now" He clenched his hand hard as he looked at the screen.
The statue of his seems to looking down on him.
Back in the public forums, speculation only grew louder.
— "If he's not a vampire, does that an his kingdom is entirely player-controlled?"
— "A human ruling vampires… that's insane."
— "No wonder no one could track the Blood King—his identity didn't match expectations at all."
— "We weren't looking for the right species."
On screen, the statue of the Blood King remained unmoving.
"By the way, how can we get statues of ourselves too?"
"Not gonna lie, he looks cool as hell."
"Idiots, it's most likely the reward for completing the Behen Archipelago."
"Now that the unique dungeon has returned back to the Hall of Fa, it's no longer an option. Perhaps one has to find a similar dungeon like his—though I doubt there are any like this."
The discussion didn't end there.
One of the analysts leaned forward, adjusting his glasses as he stared at the footage replaying Alan's statue.
"…If that's the case, then the requirent isn't just clearing a dungeon."
He tapped the table lightly.
"It's achieving sothing that qualifies you as a legend."
The room went quiet for a mont.
Another voice chid in.
"So you're saying… only those recognized by the Hall of Fa get a statue?"
"Most likely," the analyst replied. "The Behen Archipelago isn't just a dungeon. It's a trial that evaluates legacy, strength, and contribution. Clearing it doesn't just an completion—it ans acknowledgnt."
"we all heard it, how the World Announcent rang ' That a hero have given rest to past legends' " He said.
" So, most likely it was this way" He said as others nodded.
Back among the players, the conversation shifted again.
"Then what do we even need to do?"
"Clear sothing similar?"
"Good luck finding anything like the Behen Archipelago…"
"Yeah… a dungeon that tests you against legends? That's basically one of a kind."
Soone scoffed.
"Unless another Hall of Fa exists sowhere else."
That comnt lingered.
Because no one could confidently deny it.
anwhile, in another corner of the world, guild leaders began issuing new directives.
"Prioritize exploration-type quests."
"Search for hidden or legacy-grade dungeons."
"If sothing resembles a trial of succession—report it imdiately."
The realization spread quickly:
What Alan had achieved was not just power.
It was access.
Access to systems, trials, and rewards that others hadn't even discovered yet.
Maps of unexplored regions were brought out.
Red markers began appearing across continents.
"Unverified dungeons…"
"Hidden zones…"
"Areas that have never been fully cleared…"
Guild leaders leaned over the table, their expressions serious.
"If the Behen Archipelago was one such place," one of them said, "then there may be others—equally rare, equally hidden."
Another nodded slowly.
"And whoever finds them first… may end up standing where Alan stood."
anwhile, smaller guilds and solo players reacted differently.
Excitent.
Curiosity.
Ambition.
"Did you hear? If we find a legacy-grade dungeon, we might get sothing similar!"
"Statues… titles… maybe even unique recognition…"
"Forget grinding levels—this might be the real path to the top."
In contrast, veteran players remained cautious.
One of them shook his head.
"It's not that simple."
He looked at the others.
"Alan didn't just 'find' the Behen Archipelago."
"He was strong enough to complete it."
A pause.
"Even if another one exists… how many players are actually qualified to clear it?"
