1 Volume One : I wish I was a beta (1)

[Entering new world in 3...2...1...]

I heard as I closed my eyes for the last time, fragile hands slowly slackening, before going soft; the ekg machine was going crazy, making foreboding sounds.

This was it. My last few moments on earth.

I had lived as well as I could growing up in an orphanage, alone without any family in the world. I studied hard, making sure I had the best grades, was the best, the teachers pet, if necessary.

And it worked wonders.

I got a scholarship to my top-choice university, MU, and excelled there for three years before I had an accident. I had...fainted after class on day, whilst at my art club meeting.

The doctor then took it upon themselves to do every test in the book and found out what was wrong; a genetic sickness.

Since I was an orphan, abandoned by my parents at a young age, I wouldn't have known that my mother probably didn't live past her twenty-fourth birthday, just like her parents, and their parents, and so on.

I found out the hard way.

What came after was a rush to finish school, gain all the credits I needed to graduate early. If I was to die in a few months, I wanted to go out as an orphan who got a master's degree, at least.

I started having fainting spells three months after my diagnosis. Followed by body paralysis, one limb at a time. And then finally, I couldn't breathe on my own.

They never diagnosed what I have; just that it was hereditary and that they couldn't cure me. At least, It would die with me...

As I was succumbing to the sad reality I was now facing, a...creature spoke to me.

[Hello, human!]

I will admit, and I'm not proud of it, that I screamed. I screamed loud, long, and girly.

It was embarrassing.

"W-who are you?!" I screamed.

[H-human! Calm down, please!]

It said, so I threw my shoe at it. Not my proudest moment, but I was scared. I wasn't thinking.

"How rude! Human! I am what they call a 'system' in your world. I have chosen you, one who has lived gracefully and fully, only to succumb to death willingly-]

I laughed. I couldn't help it. I'm dying. Unwillingly. It sucks, and this stupid "system" is spewing nonsense. Did I live gracefully? Fully? What a joke.

[A-as I was saying, I have chosen you, to travel with me, across galaxies, and universes, leading new and exciting lives each time, completing-]

...What?

"...Are you offering me a chance to live?"

[...Yes.]

"Deal."

I want to live. More than anything.

[But I haven't explained everything to you!]

"You can explain in the next world."

[A-alright...Entering new world in...3...2...1]

[New world entered. Welcome, host, to Phlyveria]

—

[New world entered. Welcome, host, to Phlyveria]

Phlyveria?

"Where?" I asked.

[The planet, Phlyveria. It is where we are.]

"We're not on Earth?"

[That is correct, host.]

"I see."

[I shall gather the information needed for your tasks. One moment.]

I waited a moment before my skull felt like it was exploding.

"Too...much...information!"

It was like I suddenly knew everything there was to know about this world and its beings. It was an...ABO world, with a second gender. Alpha, Beta, Omega.

A beta is essentially a person from Earth. An Alpha is a top-tier individual with a...knot on his...you know what. They excel at everything they do. An omega's class is...delicate. High and low. There are many determining factors. Omegas give birth and have heats every two to three months.

I am an Omega...

Oh, dear.
