They wanted me to return to the right path, like a lost lamb.

Outside the wall lay vast stretches of polluted, barren land. Mercenaries could only scavenge meager resources from among the beasts and their enemies.
Inside the wall, resources were scarce and social classes rigidly entrenched. Nova, the all-seeing eye, surveilled the country from every angle.
The walled city was divided into an inner city and an outer city.
The inner city belonged to the nobility. They held absolute power, monopolized knowledge, enjoyed lavish artificial scenery, and lived easy, comfortable lives.
The outer city was left to the commoners. Wages were low, conditions were poor, and even keeping food on the table was a struggle.
Beyond both cities stood an isolated island, a greenhouse for raising Omega brides for the nobility, and the easiest stepping stone for commoners hoping to rise into the aristocracy.
It was called White Rose Academy.
The protagonist is a student at White Rose Academy, an Omega born to two Beta parents, one in ten thousand, and a commoner who managed to get into White Rose Academy, also one in ten thousand. How lucky.
Everyone thought his life would be smooth sailing from then on.
Only he knew that his soul was dying.
