@Pen3 And when was it stated that he was alpha, or that he was ever aiming to become an alpha.
if anything, the beginning explicitly told us that he was an outcast of society, and ultimately was killed by the top dogs of society, people with more money, influence and status. Yes, those fat, old, cowardly dudes were the alpha of his previous life. And our MC wasn't even a beta, he was a bottom feeder.
Sure, he's an alpha in his new life, but only by birth, thanks to being born into nobility. He could have spent his days sleeping around instead of studying or practicing martial arts, and he would still be an alpha, as the heir of a noble.
it's ridiculous that you hold such a romanticized ideal of an alpha, when it isn't a measurement of hard work, or talent, or charisma, or any of those silly notions. Alpha is just the synonym for a leader, pure and simple. It doesn't matter if the leader got there by effort, or by birth, by cheating, or by pure dumb luck. An alpha in human society are fat old politicians and corporate leaders, not the handsome bully who stole your girlfriend.
