Alpha Reborn!

The ground trembled under his feet as Evan ran, and the walls shook and groaned around him, threatening to cave down on him.

With each passing moment, the cave seemed to be coming apart at the seams, but he didn't let the fear of death hinder his movement.

"Phew!"

A few moments later, Evan burst out into the open air, his heart racing in his chest.

As he turned to look back, the entire cave crumbled into dust, sending up clouds of debris that filled the air.

"That was close. I'm glad I made it out in one piece."

"I got lucky this time, but I might not get lucky again. I better start being careful."

He had narrowly escaped disaster.

Thus, he made a mental note to be more careful in the future and to always be on his guard.

As dusk settled on Planet X, the natural disasters began to strike with a vengeance. It was no wonder that the planet was so inhospitable. The entrants who still hadn't completed their tasks knew they had to find the bunker quickly if they wanted to survive the night. Bunkers were built in a way to survive natural disasters.

"This planet is really testing me to my limits." Evan raised an eyebrow. "But I won't let it overwhelm me. Panicking in this situation will do me no good. I have to find that bunker before it's too late."

Despite the forest ground shaking beneath his feet, Evan pressed on in search of the safe haven. He had heard that the nights on Planet X were brutal and he didn't want to experience them firsthand.

Fuwaa!

As he moved through the forest, the geysers began to erupt with increasing frequency due to the constant low-magnitude earthquakes.

The mist thickened, impairing his vision and making it difficult for him to navigate through the forest.

"This mist is making it hard to see, but I won't let it slow me down."

It had become hard for him to see what was ahead, but he refused to give up, refused to let his fear consume him, and he pushed through the fog with steady and fast steps, determined to find the bunker before it was too late.

He felt like he was an emerging from a never-ending abyss of uncertainty when he finally caught sight of the entrance to the bunker. It was a magnificent sight, adorned with intricate patterns, which seem to hold the power to keep beasts at bay.

"Finally, some good news. That bunker looks like it can withstand anything this planet throws at it. I just hope I can get inside it easily."

Relief flooded through him at the sight of it, and he quickened his pace towards the entrance.

However, as he reached for it, he realized it was locked.

He inspected it and instantly discovered the way to unlock it.

Without missing a beat, he channeled his soul energy into the symbol and unlocked the door with ease.

"Ha, easy as pie. These locks are no match for me. Now let's get inside this bunker."

With a sigh of relief, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

As he stepped inside, the cool and dry air enveloped him, while the dim but functional lighting cast an eerie glow across his figure. Rows of bunk beds lined the thick and reinforced walls, flanked by lockers and cabinets for storage. It was clear this bunker had weathered many storms, and its sturdy steel structure offered a sense of security.

Furthermore, the transfer array, situated at the end of a long and wide tunnel, was like a beacon of hope as it called out to him.

He rushed towards the transfer array as quickly as he could. Methodically, he manually inspected its status with his eyes, confirming that it was fully charged and operational.

Without hesitation, he punched in the coordinates for the first training ground of the imperial frost clan into the transfer array.

Vroom!

In a flash of brilliance, a dazzling portal materialized before him, beckoning him towards his destination.

Evan took a deep breath and jumped into the shimmering portal before him.

As he did so, a jolt of energy coursed through his body, causing his hair to stand on end.

In the blink of an eye, he was transported through the portal and emerged on the other side, standing in the middle of his desired location. He couldn't help but grin in amazement at the speed and efficiency of the transfer array.

Suddenly, a voice, familiar to Evan, rang out.

"Well done, Your Highness! You have triumphed over the ultimate test of survival and skill in such a short time," Keldor said, his lips curled into a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Evan looked at him unfriendly.

"Am I the first to pass it?"

Shaking his head slowly, Keldor replied, "No, someone else completed it faster than you."

Evan's curiosity piqued further, and he asked, "Who was it?"

Keldor gestured towards a tree close by, where a figure shrouded in black robes and a mask perched on a branch.

"Him," Keldor said simply.

Evan recognized the figure as the same person who had sailed through the first trial of the inheritance war, securing second place after him.

The identity of this enigmatic figure remained unknown, and his face remained concealed behind a mask. He had never been mentioned in the clan before, and thus, Evan couldn't help but feel intrigued by this shadowy figure.

"Let's take a look at what I am up against." Evan thought to himself.

His eyes narrowed as he inspected the masked figure with an intense gaze, seeking to gain a deeper understanding of his enigmatic adversary.
