The next morning, Aryan opened the game. Everything looked different. There were glowing green lines running across the map.
What is this? he wondered.
He realized he could see through walls. Not like a cheat, but like he was reading the game's blueprint. He could see where the best loot was hidden and where every enemy was hiding before they even moved.
"Is this... a glitch?" Aryan whispered.
He joined a random match. A pro-player tried to ambush him from behind a building. Usually, Aryan would be dead in seconds. But this time, he saw a green arrow pointing at the enemy's feet through the wall.
He turned, jumped, and fired a perfect headshot.
"You Defeated Pro_King_01!"
Aryan's heart raced. For the first time, he wasn't the loser. He was the one in control.
