Kapitel 571: Last Chance

"But... You made it through, didn't you? You managed to become a Natural Phantom." Mariel said, trying to encourage Fromund.

She realized how dangerous it was for a 15-year-old boy, defeating a monster being a normal human was too difficult, the death rate was excessively high.

Well... some people just didn't have any other choice.

''Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be here. It's worth recognizing that the man they took me to helped me in any way he could."

Fromund shrugged with a bitter smile.

"He taught me how to fight at a basic level, though... in the Lower Ring, anyone in my situation would know how to do that if they wanted to survive. Gave me a weapon, and also told me how to kill the first monster."

With a heavy sigh, he continued:

"Sure, all of that only slightly increased my chances, but it was at least something. I managed to kill the monster, but... then I lost an arm and a leg, killing the monster in the last seconds of my life."
