I'm an Alpha, But Everyone Loves Me

My new novel next door is now open for reading. Come check it out! #Intermittently unhinged, charming troublemaker top# #Everyone has a one-sided crush: you chase me, I run and run and run!# After I transmigrated, everyone told me I was an Alpha. My home was in the Federation's most chaotic district, and my job was to be the boss's lackey: I cheered when the boss showed up and settled for scraps when he got the meat... Other people were still in school at eighteen. I was worrying about how to afford my next meal, and because I was an Alpha, even the vegetable seller gave me a twenty-percent discount. Life as an Alpha was unbearable. Being a Beta was better. So I tried every way I could think of to become a Beta. I even changed my personal information on the citizen registry and got injections to weaken my pheromones. But strangely, no matter how well I disguised myself, some troublemaker always showed up to expose me. Some of them were Alphas, some Omegas, and some Betas. They were all high and mighty, every one of them noble and untouchable. Because of them, I ended up in the hospital, in prison, and even in the palace... Every day after transmigrating was a wild ride, full of blood and tears. I didn't understand. This had nothing to do with them, so why were they making things difficult for me? Was it because I mistook an Omega for an Alpha in the beginning? But I apologized, and that Omega accepted my apology. So was I being played? I didn't understand. I just didn't understand. And to get away from one person, I had no choice but to provoke another. But they were all a bunch of lunatics. They all wanted to change me, trying to control me with their pheromones and numb me with their flesh and blood. Their favorite pastime was treating me like an NPC they could toy with in a game, watching an ant like me struggle to stay alive. In the end, they even dared to dream of locking me in a gilded cage, turning me into a bird with broken wings. But I never gave in. Even later, when they knelt and begged for my forgiveness, admitting what they'd done wrong, I remained unmoved. If it started as a game of cat and mouse, then let's play and see who comes out the winner. Please note: 1. Top-focused story. The top is a charming troublemaker with an absolutely beautiful mental state. First-person narration. Blurb subject to change. 2. Slow burn and deliberately rambling prose. (That's why there's nearly 90,000 free words. It can't hurt to give it a try.) Mainly lighthearted and easy to read. May 18, 2024 Coming Soon "The Ordinary Top Favored by the System" One day, He Jian woke up and felt that something was wrong with his mind. From then on, strange voices kept speaking in his head, telling him that he was actually in a novel and was a disposable supporting character. Near the grove on campus, the voice told him, "Go in there and ruin the main couple's first date. Make sure the teacher, the main bottom, remembers you for good!" The voice said that if he successfully ruined the date and made a deep impression on the bottom, he might get a superpower. He Jian wanted a superpower. So when he appeared in front of the main couple with the principal, both of them widened their eyes and went pale. He thought, They'll never forget me for as long as they live. But the voice let out a shrill screech: "No! What are you doing? Stop! How could you hurt the main couple?" He Jian thought he'd be stuck arguing with the voice for the rest of his life, but when he woke up the next day, the voice in his head had changed. Voice Number Two: "Host, welcome to the Underdog Comeback System. This System will do its utmost to help you face-slap the Chosen Ones and reach the pinnacle of life. After completing a face-slapping mission, you'll get one chance to draw a superpower." He Jian: "..." That sounds awfully familiar. At first, He Jian thought his condition had worsened, and one voice had become two. But later, he found that the voices in his head changed every so often, and they even changed what they called themselves. The one thing that never changed was their habit of assigning him bizarre missions. He Jian treated his condition while completing missions, and his collection of superpower labels kept growing. At first, he thought it was all a fantasy. But one day, he really did fly. Beneath the eyes of the crowd, all sound vanished and the world collapsed. Even the gods lowered their gaze because of him. He Jian thought: 1. So he really wasn't sick. 2. Everything those Systems said was true. Please note: 1. Modern setting, but fantastical creatures appear, including monsters, demons, elves, and gods. 2. Some Lovecraftian elements (not sure), with chuunibyou-style passion. 3. To be determined Theme: Believe in yourself
