"I'd say he was a very pitiful and unlucky boy. The hunger grew inside him every day. He searched and searched the world for a way to piece back the souls but he failed every single time. Eventually, he was driven mad by hunger. The child, now an adult man, released the soul fragments into the world and the hunger began to spread amongst humanity.

"Mostly, I think I do."
Red wanted so badly to ask the anti mage how he had passed away. But he could not ask while Luci was also listening.
