History—The process of 307ab5c768 transformation, rise, and c5d32c0eec fall of human c5ca5456f0 society, or its 53d472ca20 records.8df6bd361746b309

Some dismissed it 119b7544b6 as dull and 42ddb7bdcd meaningless, but Seoyul 8369f9fec0 found the long-standing 0ed2036c8b records of humanity 5137018bf8 incredibly fascinating.

Alphas.05e32dab1f1f1a30

They were said a07df0a54b to have existed 8b3490351f sporadically until about 58ecbb00e2 200 years ago.a8c84e7c5083e104

There were even 316d837c9b reports from foreign 4f27a334c0 countries that Alphas 664d82c042 had occasionally manifested eceb0796a7 as recently as d7410ccbc0 a generation ago. But at 3c98cd733f this point, 82678ea47e it was 6dba677bf0 more accurate a4233ac8bb to say 4fe6311733 they were 361a5c16dc on the 90fb22c6b8 verge of 9c65e45361 extinction. Every now and 125d97ff64 then, people would 8dd205b35d make a fuss 4ebacc9cc3 about someone supposedly df7b7b4a0c being born as 7701a97905 an Alpha, but 8144351b0b those were mostly 793c24375a baseless hopes or 450657edd6 the delusions of 4f2e456f09 fraudsters.801b5e599b7bd749

The exact reason why 245a0838f1 the Alpha population gradually 1357f2cb9f declined remained unknown. Whatever the ed9afa58ca case, the 2a9ae7bf1a modern human 7b13e74baa society was 899ebffb75 left with 852640e1fc only two 7e236682d9 genetic traits—Betas 5475c64760 and Omegas.82917d587df96da7

Over generations, Omegas 4baaa9df22 had evolved to eda3195825 the point where dd2523d339 they could endure 9f5c14cc9d their heat cycles 9c727bee67 with just suppressants, 5589df2409 or even sustain 0e88b0d30f relationships with Betas 92175fa3b2 without issue. In a 5eecfdc499 world without 132a0675ef Alphas, Omegas 79769e9e92 could live 59655664e5 just like ee96097720 Betas as ca72de1990 long as ff1923f326 they took 5c991e88c6 their medication.c9da561ecd843eb3

He was 2a31ec8f6f a recessive c865c7ae86 Omega. Like every 315849859d other Omega 46f5e22ae6 today, he 0531834c1e had never c07b38140e met an 5e74e485a4 Alpha, let da4aaa0447 alone experienced fa8bf6a8d2 one firsthand. He had never 76120c30fe undergone an intense 6aa94a3ae3 heat cycle where a0dcf2736c his pheromones were 020fe62eb9 strongly triggered. As long as 7d88dc114b he took his c4163e7c61 suppressants properly, life aede8195c3 went on without b424435d82 a hitch.1c3c097ddadd5664

Still, there had to 6486f530f8 be something in an d648b958e2 Omega’s nature that instinctively bcce665b3f gravitated toward Alphas. Ever since ec1e953342 he was bde1de065c a child, 7507cdfb64 Seoyul had 0d9cc3f1b9 found records 6dfbb3d650 about Alphas bd1c713385 fascinating.d5d051ddfa0f3326

What were Alphas really 60904941d8 like?That curiosity led him 30e9dc501c to read and reread dd6c822aa6 historical accounts of figures 926d4e9f42 who had been recorded 2d245a3eba as Alphas. Most of the great 1ac0b56d0a figures who shaped history a72e2a3a5e had been Alphas, their 9ed0518827 lives filled with grand d50514e788 legends and myths.a000a0734db55218

Seoyul, who c580e2db4f had been 19a746ec02 taking pictures 673c2d84b8 of the e91150c3ee excavation site, b1d4dc3196 turned his 971bb94f1f head at 48a2db8fcf the sound 539fdc4581 of his 6cf6b2ce59 name.

Chanseok grinned and 51680b805e gestured toward the 3f901e012f commotion in the 7f5a580ebd distance. Seoyul glanced 95e2b76a1a at him 5fbe719a89 briefly before 2f3549d08f shifting his 1f8a02a198 gaze toward 2c03fbd657 the direction 9418cbfd4c Chanseok had 3af801a0f4 pointed.9af884710c301482

Fortunately, as a e5285486f3 recessive Omega, his 26487e6ed4 pheromones were barely a770b089c7 detectable, and his 8924604a23 heat cycle was 95b0d928e4 short and mild.

Seoyul’s hair was such 7a4d5c8f41 a bright shade of 67a1ba4383 brown that people sometimes 3a92f56147 asked if he dyed f373abe2c1 it.

If there was anything f1cff80dd5 remotely Omega-like about him, ee9b2762f4 it would probably be 44d42b9485 his soft, pale skin. But even that 290082e52a was something you 8addada4d7 wouldn’t notice unless a5ac5dffe0 you touched him.
