After Becoming the World's Only Omega

As the perennial bottom-ranked omega at Goldfinch Bride Academy, Jin Yu transmigrated.

He had transmigrated into a world with no ABO genders.

He thought he could finally escape his monthly heat, but on the very first day after waking up, he found himself feverish and barely conscious in the arms of a strange man.

Worse still, no one here knew what an Omega was, or what heat was!

Jin Yu loved studying mechs more than anything, yet he had wound up in an era before mechs had even been invented, when humanity had no fixed home in the vast universe.

Everyone thought he was crazy for wanting to develop mechs.

"Mechs? Why bother with those when starships work just fine?"

"Even if they existed, they'd only run around on the ground, right? Could they go into space? Humanity doesn't even have a settled planet."

"Have you watched too many old cartoons?"

Only Turs, the pirate captain who had found him, was willing to pour money into supporting him.

Building a lab, bidding astronomical sums for rare metals, venturing deep into barren planets to develop energy sources, keeping vigil all night when Jin Yu had a fever... The entire crew suspected their captain had been blinded by his pretty face.

Turs firmly denied it. "I'm supporting research. It's a strategic investment. Protecting talent is a captain's responsibility."

The crew: "Right, right. You're the captain, so you're always right."

In Turs's eyes, Jin Yu was a genius with a frail build, a delicate and pitiful-looking face, and little ability to take care of himself. Aside from mechanical research, he was clueless about everything.

He couldn't even seduce a pirate captain properly. He didn't know how to act sweet or show consideration. All he could do was weakly say, eyes glistening, that he was so hot, then climb on top and start taking his clothes off.

Turs coldly pulled his clothes back up.

"I don't take advantage of people. I won't fall for cheap tricks. I'm straight."

Jin Yu, who only wanted to get through his heat: ...What's straight?

But a genius was a genius. When Jin Yu finally built the first mech in human history, shaking the entire sea of stars, Turs finally realized that he too had lost to the genius and been turned gay.

Only after Jin Yu's heat ended yet again, and he had sex with Turs before pulling on his pants and rushing straight to the mech research lab, did Turs suddenly realize:

"If mechs are what he loves most, then what am I?"

The crew: "A straight guy, probably."
