Horizon

Revision complete, hehe.

[Please read the reader's guide first! A growth story. The protagonist being pursued is pretty weak at first, so don't read if that bothers you.]

In Earth Year 3117, an unidentified flying object landed in the vast, desolate Betar Desert. The extraterrestrial species Fatar arrived on Earth, bringing with them more advanced technology and power.

Unknown life forms appeared in an uninhabited, sealed-off region. The first extraterrestrial species had arrived on this vibrant planet. But all that seemed far removed from humanity. The brief appearance of the flying object was soon obscured by the bustle of everyday life, and people carried on as usual.

It had no effect on a college student who had just started university, either.

That's what Mo Ning always thought, until one night, after realizing he'd forgotten his keys, he leapt off a bus and ran across a bridge, brushing past someone.

Instructor Mo of the Six-Wing Operations Unit is the most popular instructor at the training camp. His popularity is due to, among other things, his cute looks, gentle temperament, and all the pairings people imagine: baby-faced instructor who tops everyone x aloof emperor, loyal secretary, lively subordinate, and so on.

Instructor Mo is furious. He has repeatedly and solemnly declared that the Fatar emperor is his boyfriend, and that he is the one who gets topped.

Students: Ah, Instructor is so devoted to His Majesty. Sob.

Mo Ning: Would you listen to me for once?! What makes you think I'm the top? I can change, you know!

Students: But, Instructor, you're really cool when dealing with Xien. You're so assertive when you yell at us, too, especially when you're beating someone up. Sob, sob, sob!

Mo Ning: Shut up! Don't let His Majesty know... Ah, Commander! You're here!

Students: Ah, a violent-to-everyone-else, soft-and-sweet-at-home top x an aloof, gentle, virtuous bottom. I love it!

An insider took a sip of tea and sighed. No, you've got it backwards.

Reader's guide:

1. This is a romance story with plenty of serious plot. All the worldbuilding serves the story. The author is making things up, and there is no way the logic will hold together.

2. The love story of a useless little guy. At first, it's a big shot taking care of a clueless goofball; later, they become an equally matched power couple! It's only later that they're equals! The pursued protagonist is very useless at first!

3. At first, the pursued protagonist is weak, useless, timid, and prone to wild flights of imagination. There is a lot of inner monologue. He's a timid chatterbox who only dares talk to himself. Don't read if that bothers you.

4. A timid, weak, and cowardly protagonist grows into someone who can stand on his own x a patient, steady, old-school emperor who is the top. The romance is slow-burn.

5. There are lots of side couples. The author is an enthusiastic fan of writing side couples.

New cover! It's adorable little Mo!

Theme: For you, I would rise from the dust and become invincible
