Opening his eyes, Gu Yiling found himself back in a pure white space.
The entire room appeared enveloped in a thick fog, like milk, making it impossible to distinguish the directions. There was no end in sight. The room contained only a large black bed, a sofa, and a light blue photonic display.
On the sofa, a black cat lay, squinting as if about to take a nap.
"Finally willing to come back?" said 233 without opening his eyes.
"Yeah," Gu Yiling replied nonchalantly. He stood by the display screen, swiped it to set an alarm clock for a hundred years later, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Of course, the hundred years wouldn't be real years but rather a hundred years in this dimension. Upon waking up, it would feel as if a hundred years had passed. A hundred years later, his feelings for Shen Junlin would naturally fade away like the wind.
As the pain in his heart subsided upon awakening, Gu Yiling wasted no time and entered the next world.
When he opened his eyes again, Gu Yiling felt an excruciating headache. He touched his forehead and discovered a piece of gauze wrapped around it. Looking out the window, he saw several boys in identical clothing playing football on the playground, with many other faces nearby.
A handsome boy blushed and cheered, while Gu Yiling examined the room's decor and surmised that he was in the school's infirmary.
"I didn't mean to push him down. He was the one who threatened Ethan first..." The sound of irritable footsteps drew closer and then vanished as a man entered the room.
"Hey," the man who barged in had a hostile attitude. "Don't even think about it. I won't ever like you! Stay away from Ethan. If anything happens to him, I'll make sure you pay!"
Kindness? Why did those words sound like something he would say to the vicious second female lead in a bloody idol drama?
Narrowing his eyes, Gu Yiling scrutinized the boy in front of him. He wore the same school uniform as the previous owner, except that the English letter on his cuff was an "A" instead of an "O." Was he a classmate of the previous owner? And it seemed he harbored some dislike towards the previous owner as well?
"Hey, did you hear me?" Carol grew angrier when he saw Gu Yiling's silence.
The headache was unbearable, and Gu Yiling had no interest in engaging with the man at the moment. He frowned and dismissed him curtly, "Please leave. I need to rest."
"You! You have no idea what's wrong with you!" Carol pointed at him, infuriated. "Don't expect to see me again!" He stormed out, shaking the door with a loud thud.
Gu Yiling watched him leave coldly and silently cursed, "Scumbag." Then he finally succumbed to sleep, his pounding headache overpowering everything else.
When he woke up again, it was already afternoon. Leaning on the hospital bed, Gu Yiling gazed at the information slowly scrolling on the display screen.
This was an interstellar world with only male ABOs. The angry man from earlier, Carol Eugene, was one of the fortunate individuals in this world. He was the only son of the Eugene family, the empire's number one family, possessing 3A physical strength and 3S psychic power as an alpha.
The Ethan mentioned earlier was Ethan, another fortunate son in this world. He was a weak and pitiful omega who had lost his parents and lived in the previous owner's house.
The original owner of this world is also named Gu Yiling. He is an Omega and ranks among the top ten Omegas in the Gu family, one of the top ten families in the empire. Despite being an Omega, Gu Yiling possesses exceptional mental strength (S) and physical strength (A), surpassing many betas. He holds the position of the Omega chief at school and has an alpha older brother named Gu Yize, who also attends the same school.
The Gu family and the Eugene family have a longstanding friendship, and Gu Yiling and Carol have already established a relationship. The original owner enjoys a perfect family background, excellent grades, and a handsome boyfriend and brother. His life is the envy of everyone at school.
In the background introduction of this world, Gu Yiling discovers an interesting phenomenon. Although it is an ABO world, it differs from the traditional ABO setting. Similar to the feminist movement on ancient Earth, an Omega rights movement is emerging in this world, although progress is slow.
Due to their natural constitution, Omegas are considered weak and are viewed by most people in this world as submissive to alphas and merely tools for reproduction. The Omega Guild, an organization representing Omegas, has fewer than 100 members and faces the risk of disbandment every year.
Most Omegas in this world choose to get married and have children after their first estrus at the age of 18. Very few Omegas pursue careers as actors, musicians, or writers, let alone military or political careers, as these are domains usually inaccessible to Omegas.
Adding to the challenges faced by Omegas is their own self-denial. Several centuries ago, an Omega scientist invented a suppressor chip that can be implanted under the skin. This chip can completely suppress the release of sex hormones except during intimate moments with an alpha. While this invention was initially seen as a breakthrough for Omega rights, most Omegas consider it taboo and are reluctant to use it. They believe that by suppressing their sex hormones, they would lose their appeal to alphas and their identity as complete Omegas.
The scientist, who had dedicated his life to fighting for Omega rights, said before his death, "I have removed all obstacles in their way, but they are not willing to take a step forward."
Born into this world, the original owner of the body, Gu Yiling, is destined for tragedy. He has ambitious aspirations and dreams of breaking free from the traditional expectations of an Omega. He wants to become a soldier and plans to undergo the suppressor chip surgery after graduating from high school to pursue a military career, despite knowing how unconventional and difficult this path is for an Omega. However, he never shared this dream with his family or his boyfriend, believing that they loved him and would understand him.
But everything changed when Ethan appeared. Ethan's parents were distant relatives of Gu Yiling's mother. After Ethan's parents died, Gu's mother brought him to the Gu family's house. This weak and lovable Omega quickly won the affection of everyone in the Gu family, except for the original owner. While Gu Yiling didn't like Ethan, he didn't hate him either.
Gu Yiling understands that everyone has the right to choose their own path. He aspires to be an eagle, but he doesn't despise the rabbit. He just didn't expect the rabbit to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The original owner overestimated the love and support he received from his family and boyfriend. Despite being one of the top ten families, the Gu family's standing is not as strong as others, especially as the only Chinese family among the top ten. Gu Yiling's father and mother's affection for him, although partly influenced by family interests, mostly stemmed from their hopes for him to marry Carol
in the future and bring benefits to the family. Carol, on the other hand, was only attracted to Gu Yiling's external beauty.
With Ethan's arrival, the delicate and innocent Ethan managed to overshadow the original owner's arrogance and dignity. Ethan used his tears, feigned grievances, and manipulative tactics to win over Gu Yiling's father, mother, and brother, even causing Carol to break up with Gu Yiling, believing that he was mistreating Ethan. This incident led to Gu Yiling's isolation at school, where he became the target of bullying.
In one such incident, Gu Yiling was nearly disgusted by everyone. Ethan took advantage of the situation, pretending to be vulnerable, and provoked Gu Yiling into angrily scolding him. Carol happened to witness this and, assuming Gu Yiling was bullying Ethan, pushed him down the stairs. As a result, Gu Yiling ended up in the school infirmary. This was just one of many setups orchestrated by Ethan against the original owner.
Despite enduring the indifference of his family, the heartlessness of his boyfriend, and the hostility of former friends, Gu Yiling remained proud and unwilling to explain himself. He foolishly believed that the person who genuinely loved him would not require an explanation. Eventually, he was pushed to his breaking point by Ethan in front of everyone and was killed in a car accident. His family, boyfriend, and friends stood by, comforting the trembling little white flower, while no one even called an ambulance for Gu Yiling as he lay dying.
Witnessing this, Gu Yiling wanted to call the original owner stupid but couldn't help feeling sorrow for him. What had he done? How did it come to this?
In the previous world, at least Gu Yiling had Xu Changqing, who loved his mother and genuinely considered him a friend. But in this world, the real betrayal and separation came from Xu Changqing.
Gu Yiling rewatched the plot and noticed the villain he was supposed to seduce. The corners of his mouth twitched. This villain seemed barely existent.
The villain in this world is named Victor, an alpha with physical strength rated 3A and mental strength rated 3S. On the surface, he is an orphan who gained admission to the aristocratic academy based on his own merits. Due to his orphan status, he was often bullied by Carroll and his followers, which fueled his grudge against Carroll. Later, it was revealed that Victor was the illegitimate son of the Deauville family, the third-ranked family in the empire.
The Deauville family lacked alphas in their current generation. When they learned of Victor's existence as an alpha child, the head of the family insisted on taking him back despite his wife's objections. Life became difficult for Victor upon his return as he faced bullying from all sides, including assassination attempts orchestrated by the mistress of the Deauville family. However, Victor eventually rose to become the head of the Deauville family, launching a counterattack against Carol. Unfortunately, he was ultimately killed by the fortuitous son who possessed extraordinary luck.
The existence of this fortuitous son in this world makes the villain's appearance short-lived. However, one thing is certain: the original owner and the villain have no significant connection, at most just acquaintances.
Gu Yiling licked the corner of his mouth, a smile of interest forming on his face.
A loveless scoundrel? This should be an interesting strategy, right? A few warm smiles and kind words, and he will be captivated. Just like Shen Junling in the previous world, who was foolishly deceived by Chu Yuexin for so long.
It seems that this world will be completed quite easily.
