Alpha Reborn!



Evan seemed to take out a small, black box from his spatial ring.

The onlookers watching his livestream were filled with curiosity as he unlatched the box and carefully extracted a worn-out map. Doubt started to creep into their minds, questioning how a simple map could possibly save him from the horde of monstrous creatures. The idea seemed unrealistic, completely devoid of hope.

One of the spectators with too much free time chimed in, "Is this just a staged performance?"

Evan's staunch critic added, "I believe so. Maybe he'll run out of the tower when his life is truly in danger."

Despite the imminent threat of the approaching beasts, Evan remained strangely calm. Deep inside him burned an unyielding determination to do the impossible as he infused the map with his own icy soul energy. The map's intricate design responded only to the unique soul energy signature of the main family of the Imperial Frost Clan. Any other energy source would fail to elicit a response.

Suddenly, a magnificent golden treasure chest materialized on the surface of the map, serving as a clear marker for the location of the Monster Tower's most coveted prize. Alongside it, a series of numbers appeared at the top of the map, revealing the precise coordinates that whispered the secret whereabouts of the treasure.

Evan nodded at the sight of it.

Right after, from his inventory, he retrieved the [Space-Time Transmitter!] from his inventory. This valuable item had been rewarded to him for successfully overcoming a dangerous mission after he reached the Soul Manifestation Realm and activated the Player System.

The onlookers had never seen a time like this. They were bewildered by its appearance. What is it? Why is it in his possession? And why had he taken it out at this crucial junction? Just what was he up to?!

He hadn't uses it until now as he was reserving it solely for an occasion like this.

The [Space-Time Transmitter!], resembled a handheld contraption with its intricate keypad.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

With a calculated series of taps upon the keys, he entered the precise coordinates and pressed the enter key.

Consequently, in an ethereal display, an azure portal materialized before him.

Remarkably, before the first wave of adversaries could close the distance, Evan dissipated from his original position, swiftly enveloped by the closing portal that sealed shut after swallowing him whole. 

No trace of his presence remained, leaving the beasts that were looking forward to devouring his flesh disappointed and the spectators that wanted to know what made him confident enough to confront the toughest challenge of the Monster Tower shocked!

[Ding! You have reached the top of the Monster Tower!]

[Ding! You have reached the top of the Monster Tower!]

The notification chimed as Evan reappeared at the summit of the Monster Tower, which seemed to be on the tenth floor, instead of a special area above it. To reach it, one needed to possess enough strength to cleave through a wave of monsters or have a special teleportation item like Evan.

Evan stood upon the edge of a floating rock, its jagged contours cloaked in an ethereal mist, obscuring the world below. 

Several meters ahead of him, a rose-shaped monument stood proudly, ensconced within an barrier.

The barrier was semi-transparent, granting him a glimpse of the altar nestled at the monument's core. 

It was an ancient construct imbued with various runes and mystic significance. After all, on top of it rested the greatest treasure of the Monster Tower, [The Command Token!]

The Command Token is an extraordinary artifact that allows its possessor to exert control over the Monster Tower. Whoever acquires it becomes the ruler, possessing the power to command not only the spirit of the tower but also its ten floor managers. 

Within the game, the Command Token was revered to be the rarest item of the third patch, worth more than 3 million dollars. Sentient weapons were incredibly rare, rarer than the mythical Phoenix's feather. In the game, encountering one was nearly unheard of, with only the top-ranked players possessing one in their arsenal of rare and epic weapons, and even the top-ranked player had mentioned that there was only one special-grade sentient weapon in the third patch that the players could interact with after meeting certain conditions such as forming a strong relationship with the Imperial Frost Clan by helping them with their troubles, but it wasn't possible to obtain it. After all, only a carrier of the blood of frost could become its owner, and none of the Player had it!

Evan, however, possessed the necessary ingredient to unravel the barrier safeguarding the Command Token as he had the blood of Frost flowing through his veins.

'One left step remains.'

Drawing his magic sword, he made a deliberate slash across his hand, allowing his blood to spill onto the barrier.

As if responding to the blood of frost, a gap materialized in the previously impenetrable barrier. Seizing the opportunity, Evan stepped through the opening, entering the monument and making his way towards the altar where the Command Token awaited.

After reaching it, Evan extended his bloodied hand, and the Command Token absorbed the crimson essence from his palm, establishing an unbreakable bond between them. It became his bound item, incapable of being relinquished. Even if someone were to steal it, they would be unable to utilize its power without his permission. Moreover, an inexplicable connection formed between Evan and the token, allowing him to sense its presence at all times. Tracking it down would be an effortless task.

The Player System congratulated him.

[Ding! Congratulations, Player Evan on becoming the owner of the Command Token!]

The Player System's issued a series of notifications, revealing the privileges that came with owning the Command Token.

[Congratulations, Player Evan, as the owner of the Command Token, you now have the authority to control who enters and exits the Monster Tower. You have become its Ruler.]

[In addition, you have the power to manipulate the size of the tower. In simpler words, you can make it more compact and portable at your will.]

[As a Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivator, you can now issue commands to the managers of the first, second, and third floors. Because they are bound to an ancient pact that works in the favor of the party with the Blood of Frost, they will be compelled to carry out your bidding with unwavering obedience.] 

[Once you reach the Soul Fusion Realm, you will gain dominion over the managers of the fourth to seventh floors, expanding your control further. And when you ascend to the Soul Embodiment Realm, the managers of the eighth to tenth floors will become subject to your absolute command.]

Evan couldn't help but be impressed by the extent of his newfound authority.

"To think that I now hold the power to all these things," he murmured in awe. "This Command Token is considered to be best item in the imperial frost clan for a reason. The possibilities that lie before me are staggering."
