The Despairing Omega

[The synopsis is written in third person; the story itself is in first person.]

[The prologue is from the male lead's first-person perspective! You can start directly with Chapter 2, which is from the female lead's perspective. There will be a bit of a narrative trick, so please don't reveal who the male lead is in the comments on the early chapters. There is a male lead, but that doesn't stop the female lead from being adored by everyone and having several male love interests. The female lead does not cheat! She was pursuing multiple routes, and the male lead found out.]

--- Synopsis ---

Everyone in the prison says Eve is an unlucky defective.

An Omega with a completely dead gland, unable to smell pheromones, yet trapped every day in an endless heat.

The ridiculous thing is that someone is willing to marry her: that perfect Alpha husband, who cannot mark her, but gently accepts everything about her.

So, on the eve of their wedding anniversary, she "repays" his kindness with an all-out affair.

On the day of their anniversary, her husband disappears.

A bloodstained watch is left on the bedside table, and traces of her husband's skin are found beneath her fingernails.

All the evidence points to a logical conclusion: after her husband discovers his cheating Omega, she takes the opportunity to make him disappear forever.

As the jury delivers its verdict, the judge's voice is as cold as ice: "Since you want an Alpha so badly, you will live forever with the pain of being unable to receive a mark."

She is sentenced to never come into contact with, date, or marry any Alpha.

She is to remain trapped forever in her feverish body, with her desire as her eternal prison.

After her release, countless eyes seem to watch her from the darkness, sticky and damp.

Eve can feel him: the husband who supposedly "disappeared" long ago.

He must still be alive, playing cat and mouse with her. Yet she can't even identify her husband by his pheromones.

One day, Eve has a nightmare.

She dreams that a strange game interface appears before her eyes.

It turns out that her world is a full-dive game, and she installed a mod that prohibits "absolute low morality."

She thought she was God, until her first romance target, her husband, strangled the Alpha she was pursuing right in front of her.

A blood-red warning appears on the interface: [System crash! Unable to exit!]

All the romance targets have awakened.

They are no longer lines of code, but real Alphas, full of desire. And she, a defective Omega, has become their shared target.

*

"What's wrong? Are you trembling?" a deep voice rumbles.

Eve wakes with a start, curled up in a broad embrace. The pet dog whimpers anxiously, but the man's casual glance silences it.

It was a dream... That nightmare of being devoured had felt so real.

Relieved, she buries her face against his chest, and misses the abyssal smile in his eyes.

He has abandoned his original appearance, rebuilt his flesh and blood, and created a perfect new identity.

A hunter can change his skin, but his instinct to hunt never changes.

He has returned for one reason only: to take his wife, who escaped her cage but remains obliviously innocent, back to the hunting ground called "home," where the sun will never shine.

Content warnings: The female lead is a defective Omega who cannot be marked. She was born with hearing loss in her left ear and also has night blindness, so she's always a beat slow to react. She's a simple, gentle, honest sort of person, but she strives for perfection. When she can't survive otherwise, she'll steal. Everyone likes her; she's a heartthrob. All the male characters are virgins, and the female characters are not. One-on-one romance. After the female lead leaves the male lead, she has several relationships over different periods. The male lead remains single from beginning to end, until he marries the female lead again at the conclusion.

At first, the male lead hates the female lead, both loving and hating her. The female lead initially feels guilty toward him, then comes to feel fear and pure hatred.

--- A Guide Before Reading ---

If you're not sure what a low-morality mod is, you can look up the WickedWhims mod for The Sims 4.

The biggest content warning: this is all about personal kinks. There is no strong female lead and no ABO equality. The author has old-fashioned tastes, favoring fragile, beautiful female leads with amazing figures, as well as powerful, high-status men who can't have the women they love and go crazy over them like a wall-stalking i. The author prefers the female lead to be more afraid than fond of them; that makes it more exciting.

1. The female lead turns a romantic otome game into a dark, horrifying escape game with her own hands. The story is male-strong and female-weak throughout, old-fashioned, and melodramatic! It includes tragic, all-consuming love, tangled love and hatred, and other dark plotlines such as forced possession.

2. There is no strong female lead. She's a weak Mary Sue, and the female lead is not a virgin while the male lead is.

3. ABO, with an alternate-history American setting. ABO status is determined only by pheromones; there are no intersex characters. The story features various romances, including AO, BO, and OO, as well as a female Alpha.

4. There will be some horror and suspense, as well as wall-stalking i's and male love interests whose only redeeming quality is being virgins.
