A Beta Takes Cosplay Commissions in an ABO World

Xu Mingzhou is the most utterly ordinary of the betas, who make up 75 percent of the Interstellar Empire.

At the First Interstellar Military Academy, his long hair hides his face, and he looks thin and quiet.

No one knows that outside the academy, he is a cosplayer who makes the dreams of countless alphas and omegas come true: their fictional husbands appearing in the real world.

He can be a gentle, reserved high-ranking omega raised in a White Tower, skilled at illustration and such a good cook that he can cure his beloved (single protagonist) of anorexia with his meals.

He can also be a courteous, golden-haired knight, using his sword to shield his beloved (single protagonist) and protect them at all costs.

He can even be a racer, overtaking on the track with a dangerous but dashing move, then smiling on the podium as he places his medal around his beloved (single protagonist)'s neck.

Sometimes he plays a frail, brooding painter, depicting an ugly yet dazzling world in his paintings. After giving one to his beloved (single protagonist), he disappears forever.

So he learned kendo, illustration, cooking, martial arts, racing, flower arranging...

And while he was at it, he earned certificates in all those skills.

His classmates at the First Military Academy thought Xu Mingzhou was just Xu Mingzhou. Later, they discovered that he could also be...

The first-place winner of an interstellar oil painting competition, a standout newcomer in a kendo tournament, a bestselling novelist, and a racing champion for two years running...

Classmates: Huh? Is there anything you can't do?

Xu Mingzhou: I'm really just one of the utterly ordinary betas who make up 75 percent of the population.

Classmates: Just stop! We don't even know what "ordinary" means anymore!

P.S. The protagonist is the pursuer. The main story won't establish a pairing before it ends. There may be branching plotlines, and each branch will have a different ending.

Please add my new novel to your reading list! It's my next project, another cosplayer-survives-a-tribulation story (not really).

"The Cosplayer Becomes an Actor in the Zerg World"

By Bai Cangfeng

If Ider Lanta had known that stepping outside with his left foot would leave him stranded on a desolate planet, he would have checked the almanac before leaving home.

The desolate planet is lawless, violent, and short on resources. It is unlike anywhere on Earth Ider Lanta has ever seen. It doesn't seem to be Earth at all.

And that is exactly the case. The humanoid beings here call themselves the Zerg.

Ider Lanta has blond hair, green eyes, delicate fair skin, and exquisite features. He looks like the kind of male Zerg who would never appear on a desolate planet. So he disguises his gender and personality, becoming the sort of female Zerg the locals like, just to scrape by.

Ider Lanta takes to it like a fish to water. After all, before arriving on the desolate planet, he was a cosplayer.

But the planet is about to be occupied. Ider Lanta clutches the hard-won ticket off-world, only to run straight into the military female Zerg who has taken over the planet: a major rumored to be brutal and merciless, and to slaughter his own kind.

The first time Ansanor saw that Zerg, who kept claiming to be a male Zerg while covered in female Zerg pheromones, he thought him shallow, vain, and afraid of death.

But he was a male Zerg, and that alone meant he had the right to live, no matter the circumstances.

He never expected that when they met again, the male Zerg's bright, vivid emerald eyes would be filled with stars and worlds, with no room for him.

Hundreds of millions of Zerg long to receive the gods' favor, willing to give everything for a single glance. But the god seems not to care. He loves all Zerg, not any one Zerg in particular.

"Your Highness, if I had treated you better back then, would you have been willing to let your gaze linger on me for just one more second?"

"I'm afraid not."

-

Additional note: Ider Lanta is originally a pure human. Later, under the influence of his surroundings, he gradually transforms into a male Zerg. However, all the Zerg believe he has always been one, and his true identity is never exposed.

Theme: No one in this world is truly ordinary.
