EPISODE 50 – MIND OVER MONSTERS
The cold light of the morning sun spilled through the open blinds, casting thin stripes of gold across the living room floor. Kim Do-hyun sat hunched forward in front of his computer screen, posture tense, eyes narrowed with laser focus. His coffee had long gone cold beside him, and his phone buzzed quietly on the desk—ignored.
He wasn't gaming, messaging, or zoning out.
He was watching monsters die.
Video after video played back at 0.75x speed. Tutorials, raid captures, helmet cam uploads, and even shaky drone footage taken during failed guild incursions. While the footage varied in quality, what mattered wasn't production—it was movement. Specifically, pattern recognition. Do-hyun's screen showed a split-screen interface: the top half played the footage, while the bottom half was a crude animation diagram he'd made, sketching out the footwork or predicted charge paths of each creature.
