Chapter 63: Pain, An Unexpected Liberator

The most traumatizing experience for Northern were the days he used on the prison mine.

A spineless teenager, captured by a monster and thrown into a prison where he was forced to mine red crystals continuously for nights.

The only times he had to rest was when the monster guarding him went packed out the heaps of mined crystal shards.

His food tasted like shit.

He almost died… and promised himself he'd kill these two monsters that caused his life to be a living hell.

Then one night, under grey sky as other nights, he was marched to the battlefield, not given any choice but to serve as meatshield for the monsters of the Red Mine.

Earning, them barely a minute to fight.

As his body shivered from the pain caused by the red crystals, Northern felt the fog shrouding his mind being torn through.

Overwhelmed by so much pain, his mind tore apart, making it easy for the desperate memories to resurface.
