Alpha Reborn!

The next day, Evan woke up feeling groggy and reached for his communicator, which was buzzing incessantly. With bleary eyes, he checked the screen and saw that his bank account had just received a massive deposit of 300 high-purity soul crystals.

His heart raced as he took in the amount. Despite having a considerable bank balance, not a penny of it was earned through his hard work. This was the first time he had made money on his own, and the sum he received was enough to purchase one-fourth of a planet on the outskirts of the Sun Moon Empire—no wonder he felt excited.

The source of this astronomical sum was none other than the Bounty Hunter Association. It had taken them longer than anticipated to confirm Vera's death, but Evan wasn't complaining. He was just relieved that the job was finally done, and he and Lirian had received their fair sum.

Evan, feeling unsure of what to do with his day, absentmindedly scratched his head.

He couldn't go out on a hunt for a hidden piece as the awakening ceremony was at hand. He couldn't miss it, or he would lose the war before it even started.

Suddenly, a notification from the system interrupted his thoughts, ringing clearly in his mind.

The message read: [A daily mission will be issued to you!]

"New mission alert!" he thought excitedly. "Now we're talking."

[Misson Name: Slippery Slush Smackdown!]

The mission's name appeared on the semi-transparent screen before him, and Evan chuckled at how funny and interesting it sounded.

The mission details appeared next, and Evan's eyes widened as he read through them.

[Description: Go to the training grounds of the Imperial Frost clan and train.

First task: Train against an opponent. (0/1)

Second task: Defeat a total of two opponents. (0/2)]

[If you complete the first task, you will be rewarded with the "Phantom Shadow Step" technique. If you complete the second task, you will be rewarded with a skill upgrade card.]

[In case of failure, a penalty would be issued!]

"Looks like I'm heading to the training grounds of the frost clan," Evan mused to himself with a grin, "This should be fun."

The quest sounded challenging, but Evan was up for it. Even if he wasn't, he had to do it. First off, the failure to complete the mission in time would result in a penalty, something that had him feeling a bit nervous. Secondly, the potential rewards were worth the risk.

The "Phantom Shadow Step" technique was an incredibly valuable movement-type skill that focused on improving the cultivator's agility, allowing them to move swiftly and unpredictably in battle. It was best used to avoid attacks from stronger opponents, and it was extremely suitable for low-level cultivators like him.

After all, as a low-level cultivator, it was exactly what he needed to stay one step ahead of stronger opponents.

As for the skill upgrade card, it was a game-changer, capable of upgrading any skill to the next level, no matter its current level. Evan couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement at the possibilities this card presented. Even his level 3 Breath of Frost Technique could be upgraded to a higher level using this card!

With all this in mind, Evan wasted no time.

He got up from his seat, freshened up in the bathroom, and quickly donned his imperial attire. Without hesitation, he headed out the door, eager to beat up some unlucky folks of the Imperial Frost clan.

The Imperial Frost Clan had seven minor families. From strongest to weakest, they are as follows:

1: Frostweavers Family

The Frostweavers Family was responsible for the production of weapons for the Frost Clan. They specialized in creating weapons that were enhanced with ice magic, making them particularly deadly against foes from warmer climates.

2: Ice Fang Household

The Ice Fang Household was made up of expert alchemists who specialized in creating potions and elixirs that were used to augment the combat abilities of the Frost Clan's soldiers. They were also known for their expertise in creating cold-resistant gear.

3: House of Ice

The House of Ice had the important task of managing the Frost Clan's supply of soul energy crystals, which were a key ingredient in many of the clan's magical weapons and armor and were also used to invest in real estate. They were also responsible for mining and collecting soul energy crystals from different mining zones scattered throughout the Black Eye Galaxy and transporting them to the Frost Clan's capital.

4: House of Blizzard

The House of Blizzard was known for its expertise in formation. They were often called upon to create offensive and defensive formations that not only protected the Frost Clan's strongholds that were on different planets from invaders but also retaliated against the assailants, showing them hell!

5: Frost Blood Household

The Frost Blood Household was responsible for training the Frost Clan's soldiers in the use of ice magic. They were also skilled strategists who helped to plan the clan's military campaigns. They had one of the most important roles in the clan.

6: House of Harbon Crane

The House of Harbon Crane was responsible for maintaining the Frost Clan's diplomatic relations with neighboring clans and empires. They were skilled negotiators who were known for their ability to make alliances and avoid conflict. They were as important as the Frost Blood Household.

7: Frost Burn Household

The Frost Burn Household was responsible for the production of food and other essential supplies for the Frost Clan. They specialized in cultivating magic crops and raising livestock for the members of the Frost Clan. They were the weakest of the seven minor families. Evan liked the Frost Burn the most as they were relatively peaceful compared to the other minor families of his clan.

Each of the minor families was important to the Frost Clan.

It was no surprise that despite being suspicious that they were behind the assassination attempt on Evan's life, no actions had been taken against them.

As Evan made his way to the Frost Clan's training ground, a group of eunuchs and maids led by Havelock followed closely behind him. The group was a necessary entourage for someone of Evan's status, but he couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious with so many people following him around.

"Evan?"

Upon arriving, Evan was immediately confronted by one of his older male cousins, Jack.

Jack was a burly man, standing at 5'8" with a muscular build that was emphasized by his tight black shirt and military pants. His striking green eyes were accentuated by his ear piercings, giving him a somewhat intimidating appearance.

"In this place, why have you appeared?" Jack questioned Evan with a cold gaze.
