Freya was born out of wedlock.
As for her father...
No one knew who he was.
A woman, unmarried and pregnant, gave birth to a daughter with scales.
A story like this was destined to be tragic.
From a very young age, Freya grew up enduring the malice of those around her.
When she was around five or six years old, her mother died.
She watched as her mother's body decayed day by day,
but none of their so-called relatives extended a helping hand.
It was as if they were celebrating.
Celebrating the death of the woman who had shad the family for so long.
Celebrating that they could finally cast out the wretched child who had brought them misfortune.
Expelled.
And at that mont, Freya's unicorn bloodline awakened.
That was the first ti she realized the terrifying power within her.
But she was just a child, incapable of controlling it.
So…
That day, flas engulfed the ruins of her family estate.
Everyone in the family—those who had once bullied and humiliated her and her mother—perished in the fire.
Freya, having used her bloodline power for the first ti, imdiately lost consciousness.
When she awoke again, she found herself in an organization.
A place similar to an assassins' guild.
There, only one rule mattered:
The strong reign supre.
If you were powerful enough, you could have everything.
Born with a unicorn bloodline, Freya adapted effortlessly.
She grew stronger, relentlessly seeking more power.
She had only one goal.
To find that man.
The one who had abandoned her mother.
The one she would force to kneel before her mother's grave and atone for his sins.
Hearing Freya's past, Daniel couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.
"Do you have any leads?" he asked.
"I've found so clues," Freya replied, gazing at the distant sea of clouds.
"That man… he is a powerful figure, soone important within a major faction."
She clenched her fists.
"I have to beco stronger!"
Only by becoming stronger could she confront that man.
Only then could she—
Make him apologize to her mother.
After a brief silence, Daniel spoke,
"Hatred shouldn't be the driving force of soone's life. I understand how you feel, but… you could try embracing sothing new. Sothing beautiful."
He didn't want to see this girl sink too deeply into vengeance.
It would bring her nothing but endless suffering.
Hearing his words, Freya lowered her head slightly.
"…The people at Thousand Suns Hall are actually very kind," she admitted.
"I've never lived in a place like this before."
For the first ti, she had experienced peace.
Sothing she had never known.
Yet, in the end, she could not forget her goal.
Her mother's vengeance had to be exacted.
That man—
"Are you still determined to find him?" Daniel asked.
"Yes. I have to. He must know how much pain my mother endured because of his irresponsibility!"
Daniel nodded.
Freya had not completely succumbed to hatred. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
She understood the value of a peaceful life.
Perhaps, once she had accomplished this, she could finally allow herself to live.
Suddenly, Freya rubbed her face vigorously, then muttered,
"I don't even know why I'm telling you all this. It's not because I want your pity or sympathy or anything like that."
"I just feel like… you remind of an elder sohow. I don't know how to describe it…"
Seeing her unease, Daniel offered,
"If you feel uncomfortable about this, just pretend the conversation never happened."
Deep in Daniel's soul, there was an imprint—
One derived from the souls of three patriarchs of different races.
In so ways, he was Freya's patriarch.
That was why the unicorn she had manifested through her bloodline had seed so obedient in his presence.
It was only natural that she would develop such feelings.
"…Thank you," Freya finally said.
"No problem," Daniel replied, waving a hand dismissively.
Then, he added,
"If you think it's appropriate, let know when you find that man. I want to understand the truth behind your bloodline."
Shortly after, their airship landed.
The group arrived at the Blue Jade Guild.
The Blue Jade Guild was a gathering place for geniuses.
Even an average disciple here could beco a dominant figure in the outside world.
But what people talked about the most—
Were the core disciples.
Each core disciple was the pride of the guild, nurtured with vast resources.
It was no exaggeration to say that every high-ranking official of the Blue Jade Guild had once been a core disciple.
Becoming a core disciple ant securing a path to power.
So even had the chance to rise to the very top.
"…Being in charge of a major faction isn't as easy as you think," Daniel remarked.
"Managing an organization is a huge hassle—especially a powerful one."
As he spoke, he recalled his past life in Crossbridge Academy.
He had devoted himself to running the academy.
Only when Rowan and the others had grown strong enough did he finally have fewer worries.
Now, he spoke to Freya with the wisdom of experience.
"I ca to Blue Jade Guild to investigate sothing," he continued.
Their airship was slowly descending.
After their previous conversation, he and Freya had grown much closer.
"I envy your mindset," Freya admitted.
Her entire life had been shaped by pressure, hatred, and the pursuit of strength.
"Daniel, Freya! The instructor wants to see you. We should get going."
Dana called out to them.
A mont later, Daniel saw the other eight participants who had co to take the Blue Jade Guild's assessnt.
"In the Blue Jade Guild, you'll realize what it truly ans when people say 'there's always soone stronger,'" one of the instructors said.
The Blue Jade Guild was massive.
It housed nearly ten million disciples.
For efficiency, the guild was divided into ten domains, each managed separately.
Daniel's group was assigned to the Ancient Abode Domain.
Apart from Thousand Suns Hall, other factions backed by the Blue Jade Guild had also sent disciples for the examination.
"This ti, our goal is to claim the title of core disciples," the instructor declared.
"The other factions in the Ancient Abode Domain—they are our rivals!"
He then shared intelligence about particularly formidable competitors.
"If you encounter these individuals, proceed with extre caution! Do not act recklessly or invite unnecessary trouble."
As he spoke, the instructor cast a glance at Daniel.
Because in the early stages of the examination, Daniel played a crucial role.
They could not afford to expose Freya's identity too soon.
A pureblood unicorn bloodline…
Such a revelation would cause the other factions to join forces against her.
Daniel's presence was ant to be a smokescreen.
So the instructor emphasized caution when looking at him.
If sothing went wrong—
If Daniel made an error—
Then Thousand Suns Hall's entire strategy could collapse.
