Yu Jiu is a beta, good looking, good at learning basketball and playing well, even better than Alpha in fights, he is recognized as an outlier in school.
Nobody knew he was actually an omega.
Later, another alien was transferred to the school.
Zhai Chi is the bamboo horse Yu Jiu hasn’t seen in five years. He is an Alpha. He is kind and funny. He never releases pheromones to others. He is so gentle that he doesn’t look like an Alpha. With his face, he quickly becomes the dream love of all the omega in Yizhong!
Due to physical reasons, Yu Jiu rejected all Alpha pheromones, especially Zhai Chi, so he decided to keep a distance from his bamboo horse.
However, not long after, Zhai Chi transferred to his class and asked to sit at the same table with him: “I’m new here, and you are my only friend.”
Yu Jiu: He’s so pitiful…he’s just sitting at the same table, he won’t get pheromones!
Going back to the dormitory at night, Zhai Chi has already made a bed in his dormitory: “I’m going back to China alone, and I don’t know the place where I live. If you don’t take me in, I’m going to sleep on the street.”
Yu Jiu: It’s not easy for him…same bed and different bed, it won’t affect.
Once when Yu Jiu fought with someone outside the school, Zhai Chi’s legs went limp when he saw the blood: “It’s too cruel, too bloody, I’ve never seen such a violent scene!”
Yu Jiu: He’s really weak…I want to protect him!
Until later, Yu Jiu was suppressed by a group of Alphas with pheromones, and Zhai Chi overwhelmed all the Alphas in less than ten seconds.
Yu Jiu: …
Later, when Yu Jiu had an unexpected fever, he broke the can and threw the dead horse into a living horse doctor, so Zhai Chi, who had never released pheromones, made a temporary mark on him.
Yu Jiu: Alpha is indeed Alpha, and it is still useful at critical moments.
He wanted to slip away afterwards, but at this moment the Alpha who had just tagged him grabbed his waist, looked at him eagerly and said, “Are you going to abandon me all the time?”
Yu Jiu: “…”

- Description from novelbuddy

Long time ago, the world was ruled by the Primordials — an ancient and powerful race who mastered magic and shaped the land with runes and magic. They built bastions that stood as monuments to their greatness, cities protected by powerful enchantments. But their thirst for even greater power led to disaster. They opened gates to another realm… and unleashed demons.What followed was swift and brutal. The Primordials fought back, but they lost. Their civilization crumbled, their names were erased, and only the magical bastions remained — sealed places protected by forgotten runes that even demons could not cross.Now, demons rule the night. Humanity lives in fear, hiding behind rune-marked walls, unaware of their true origins or how close the world stands to its final collapse.Into this broken world falls Alex — a stranger from another reality. Upon his arrival, he awakens a forbidden power within himself: nature magic and the ability to shapeshift. A gift… and a curse.Magic is forbidden. Hunted. Destroyed. If anyone discovers what he is, he could be executed on the spot. But only through his power does Alex stand a chance of surviving… and fighting back. As he journeys across this dark and ruined land, he begins to unravel secrets long buried, truths about the demons’ origin, and the real reason the world fell.This is a dark fantasy tale of blood, survival, ancient knowledge, and inner transformation. Alex must choose what he will become: a monster, a savior… or something in between.Hello and welcome to everyone who decided to read my first writing attempts!The story you are reading is created in my free time, so new chapters will be released approximately 3-4 times a week. I run my own business, which sometimes makes it difficult to find a moment to sit down and fully focus on writing.I'm a fan of brutal, bloody scenes – the kind that stay in your mind long after you've finished reading. I have a vivid imagination, and when I write, I see each of these fights clearly, as if they were happening right in front of me: torn bodies, blood spraying, guts... none of that sugar-coated fighting.I try to transfer these images from my head to the page with as much intensity as possible, so you can feel the same tension and thrill that I do while writing.I also want to build a sense of horror – especially when it comes to monsters. I'm not interested in easy enemies. These are meant to be creatures you feel before you see them. The kind that stir fear and force the characters into desperate decisions.I hope you'll enjoy these scenes too – brutal, emotional, and full of darkness.As for the plot, I already have a general outline in my head, so there’s a lot of writing ahead of me. In the future, the story may include R18 scenes, but before that, I want to build a solid world and well-developed characters.If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to discuss them, and maybe we can add something interesting to the story!Enjoy the read!

“I am a benevolent god. If you worship me well, maybe I will save you… from the calamities I send.”Zayne was just an ordinary guy, when he was picked through a random draw to become a host of the God System. Having accepted the offer - could that even be considered a choice, when his soul would have been exterminated otherwise? - he was transported to a different world, tasked with gaining believers and growing his cult, earning points from their faith. Once he gained enough believers and points, he would be able to rise to a higher position in the Pantheon…However.A ‘life’ as a deity turned out to be far less glorious than he would have thought. Centuries later, he is still stuck in his first world. Fulfilling prayers day in and day out, as a mere consciousness floating in nothingness, alone with the system. He cannot rank up, he cannot move on, and he cannot even vent his frustration well, because he’s always short on points!And his believers are not even loyal, still worshiping other gods as well!In a moment of distraction, he makes a mistake, which initiates his descent.Not wanting to waste the points he has already spent, Zayne decides to wander the world for a while, posing as his own prophet, using this opportunity to spread his faith… And more importantly, vent all his pent-up anger, and have fun along the way!Randomly doing whatever he wants, he accidentally discovers a path he could take as a god: sending calamities, and then rescuing people from them - of course as long as they pray!And so his journey to the top finally begins.
