Frostbound

Life marched on, ever forward.

Spending most of the night in fitful bouts of sleep and grogginess was not how I wanted to spend the night, but it was another thing I had to deal with.

The next morning, I finally opened up my notifications to get a look at them.

There were the normal kill notifications for the countless thralls that I killed along with the three bosses. Those were somehow labeled differently and were considered generals of some kind.

I wasn't sure how the thrall structure worked or their chain of command, but they were higher than the normal minions somehow.

Now that I had a bloodline, the points weren't as important to me as much. They still were appreciated, just not valued as much as before. Not when it had cost so much to acquire them.

There was really only one purchase left that I had to make that was planned. There would surely be some others that popped up unexpectedly or things I could buy if I thought of it, but the only big one left was the genetic material for my evolution.

Austin went with the wings and feathers of the Golden Sun Eagle for his evolution and I was still considering what I would do for mine.

There weren't even Frost Giant parts in the store to buy, not even Frostborn parts either. The only thing that was purchasable was Frost-Touched parts and those were lower-tiered than my bloodline already.

It would still work, we were certain of that from the information we bought, but it wouldn't be as good. It wouldn't add as much as using the right tiered material.

The flip side was also true. Higher-tiered material also worked and went above and beyond what would normally be possible. It was easier to fail though, which was a huge downside.

Just like with organ transplants, the body could reject the change but that only rarely happened. After assimilating the related bloodline, the body wouldn't reject genetic material of the same likeness.
