Found You in the Trash Heap [ABO]

A desolate planet.

At the mouth of a pitch-black alley, the air steamed with a thick, rusty smell.

She knelt in blood and mud, reaching out with all her might, yet no matter what she did, she could not piece together a complete face that could still smile.

At the same time, a shuttle quietly returned to the Imperial Star.

A game that had taken the entire universe by storm, an invitation received for no apparent reason, a meeting named after a character.

The Gatekeepers outside the Gate of Contracts, the golden beast eyes upon the Gate of Contracts, the torch that would open it.

The great Aldeus, guide to billions of stars, prophet at the end of all time.

The decaying sun would eventually meet an explosion long in the making.

"For freedom."

"For the way home."

"The Morning Star of Dawn shall never fall."

In the eyes of the rebels in hell burned the flames of revenge. They cheered, welcoming the newborn star.

Their star followed the scent left behind by the orange blossoms and at last embarked on the journey they had long awaited.

"The universe is boundless, the river of time never ceases to flow, and no one's future can be predicted.

And you must be as free as wild grass, growing ever upward without restraint, growing wild and strong."

You are the undying Morning Star, the radiant dawn, the eyes that illuminate the darkness.

The Imperial Star.

As the heir to the Xue family, Xue Xize had lived a charmed life until, at nineteen, he suddenly discovered that he was an Omega, not an Alpha. He had just hung up on a call with his obnoxious cousin.

Fine, an Omega it is. Even being an Omega can't stop him from believing that his fate is his to command!

As for that country bumpkin from a desolate planet, she can go right back where she came from. He, Young Master Xue, has no intention of saying a single word to her!

And then.

At the banquet, that female Alpha slowly turned around, her gray-blue eyes filled with a sky full of stars.

"Pleased to meet you. I'm Bian Ye."

Xue Xize: "..."

To hell with that country bumpkin from a desolate planet, and to hell with not saying a single word!

Young Master Xue, so embarrassed he could have dug a hole in the floor with his toes, looked away, his ears turning red. His voice was as faint as a mosquito's:

"Hello, I... I'm Xue Xize."

That day, Xue Xize saw a real star.

From beginning to end, a somewhat unhinged female Alpha x a male Omega who seems normal at first, but actually isn't quite normal either.

[Reader's Guide]

This story contains many original settings, including magic, supernatural abilities, and virtual reality. The worldbuilding will be explained gradually.

(Some settings can be found in the author's notes.)

This story leans somewhat toward an ensemble cast and includes a secondary couple. It features ABO dynamics and touches on gender equality.

It contains many nonhuman creatures, Lovecraftian descriptions, and freewheeling stream-of-consciousness passages.

There is relatively little focus on romance. A friend described the leads as a fated couple who treat each other with mutual respect and courtesy.

The heroine has a white moonlight figure (not romantic), and the hero has a fiancee (before his second differentiation).

The protagonists are not perfect. Everyone grows slowly along the way and gradually discovers who they truly are.

A comeback story by an older writer. The writing may perhaps feel a little old-fashioned.

P.S. The characters' actions and values in this story do not represent the author's own. Everyone's values and actions are shaped by their own experiences.

Theme: Love can give rise to miracles, and life doesn't need a definition.
