Shang went into the dark cave. He thought that his mind was focusing on his surroundings and how to find a powerful beast, but he noticed several times that his attention was slipping.
'I'm not focused!' he thought with frustration.
'I made my choice!'
'I don't have time to think about these feelings!'
'Fucking focus!'
Shang's mind kept passively inspecting his surroundings as he went deeper into the cave.
First, Shang walked upwards, but he noticed that the beasts he found only became weaker.
So, he decided to walk down.
'The higher I go outside the mountain, the stronger the beasts, but it's the opposite in this cave.'
As Shang found the first Commander Stage beasts, his focus increased.
The danger of his surroundings was pulling his mind away from its painful thoughts to focus on staying alive.
After a while, Shang reached a place where he could see Early Commander Stage beasts, but he went further.
