Not all monsters have to go all the way from White Threat to accomplish something, but with evolution, the monster changes and morphs into something new and gets a new name since it is a different creature. Sometimes it has strong similarities to the previous version, sometimes not. And yes, if the Plague Reaper defeated Adam, Katrin, and Osana and absorbed the Midnight Crystal, then he would evolve and move to the next stage and get a new name.

Poor Katrin...

Yeah, that's why things started to slowly change.

You'll find out in a few chapters.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, I really love decent criticism and you hit it right on the mark. I am aware of my problem with stretching out the moments and am gradually solving it, at least I hope so. If possible I'd love to hear your broader opinion on stretched moments.

Hi, the chapter describes this in detail, it sounds like you are confused, I'll help you figure it out. Firstborn is the first child in the family as we know, but for nobles it is more of a title than a line of birth. So the first children that are sent to Dead Lands are the actual firstborns, that is just the first children in a new generation of a family. If one of them kills a monster like Baren did, he becomes a True Firsborn, because he is actually one of the first children born at about the same time. More often than not none of the firstborns, i.e. the actual firstborns couldn't do it since everyone dies. In that case, the family gives up on the idea of getting a True Firstborn and make children like normal families. The first a Light Noble received the status of a fistborn, even though it could be the second or third child since Hallow Nobles were not involved. For example: The Great Family gave birth to ten children and sent them to the Dead Lands, they all died and none became a True Firstborn, then they had their first child, second and third within three years. And only the third one had the Spark, which means only he became a 'firstborn' since he was a Light Noble, meaning he was a Phantom and only Phantoms had a chance to become the head of the family in the future. I hope I have helped you!

Well, it's not 100% yes. If we take 25%, the odds of the 4th child being a Phantom is 68.36%. If we take 30%, the odds for the 4th child are 75.99%. I mean, that's still quite high and if the family has more children from other husbands or wives, the odds are closer to 100%.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad this story has reached 500 chapters and I can keep writing thanks to you guys!

Oh, there was some kind of error, weird.... Usually webnovel won't let you publish a chapter even if one or two paragraphs are the same. I'll fix it now, 491 chapters are done. Sorry for that.
