The Chengwu calendar now shows the year 5032. Heavy snowflakes are falling on the planet Sha'er. A small boy, shaking and curling up his body, lies on the ground with a damaged and swollen face.

Snowflakes dropped on his face, chilling him to the bone.

Those few bullies had already gone far away, and their silhouettes gradually faded into the icy haze until they were no longer visible.

In the wide expanse of the white world, there is everlasting sadness and loneliness.

Before reaching the age of differentiation, Gu Chengnan was a tiny Beta. He was up in a ghetto and was bullied from an early age.

Both of his parents are mediocre Betas. So they can only swallow their rage when they watch their son being bullied by other Alphas or Betas.

They were regarded as the lowest of the low in this tightly stratified society, not even deserving of the title "citizens of the empire."

Capitalists would enslave them for the rest of their lives.

Gu Chengnan refused to live a mediocre life. His greatest ambition was to pass the Phisotora Military Academy's admission exam and enroll in the Mecha Maintenance Department.

Even now, he still couldn't have his own mecha, but that did not stop his passion for mechas.

Gu Chengnan, a 6-year-old boy, once discovered a discarded mecha model in a rubbish can. He happily held it in his arms.

A young Alpha and two Betas approached at this point, saying, "Oh, aren't you that fool who lives in the slums? How did you end up begging here?"

Gu Chengnan kept his head down and didn't say anything, clutching that mecha model in his arms tightly.

One of the Beta reached out to snatch the thing in his arms. Gu Chengnan anxiously exclaimed, "I found this, it's mine! You're not allowed to snatch it from me!"

The three children were enraged and began punching and kicking him.

"Tch, who cares about a lousy mecha model?" Little Alpha ripped the mecha model in half and flung it in his face.

Gu Chengnan was beaten and unable to defend himself. He trembled as he held the smashed mech model in his hands, and tears streamed down his palm one by one.

Simultaneously, a gorgeously dressed small boy came out of a hovercar in the distance. He had short golden hair and sapphire-like eyes, and he had a naturally noble demeanor.

"Your Highness, if we venture out like this, His Majesty will surely punish us," said a white-clad chief guard who trailed him closely behind, concerned.

Mai Jinsen slovenly raised his head and gazed in the direction of Gu Chengnan. "If my father questions you, you can say I forced you to come to the black market with me; I have my ways of dealing with it."

A chaotic illicit market occurs between the slums and the busy district of Hassantos, beyond the reach of even the empire.

There is believed to be a mix of fish and dragons, as well as rampant intergalactic bandits, escaped prisoners, cult followers, and so on.

This is a dangerous location, yet it is also the capital of human desires, both hell and paradise.

The head guard appeared attentive, continuously aware of his surroundings in order to assure His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince's protection.

The tiny child approached Gu Chengnan and drove away the thugs. "Do you really like mechas?" he coldly and indifferently asked.

Gu Chengnan raised his head blankly, and directly in front of his eyes stood a figure with a halo that looked as divine as a sacred mountain.

Mai Jinsen grabbed a beautiful S-class mech model from his spatial pocket and presented it to him, adding, "A gift for you."

Gu Chengnan's face was filled with astonishment. He hesitantly reached out to accept it, and with his heart overjoyed, he thanked, "Thank...thank you, I really like it.".

Mai Jinsen's mouth curled up, revealing a wicked smile. "As an exchange, you will become my exclusive Mecha Maintenance Technician in the future."

The chief of the guards frowned. This child clearly has mediocre talent as a Beta. How could he possibly qualify to become the prince's personal mecha pilot?

"Sure, let's pinky promise." Gu Chengnan extended his dirty little pinky finger, feeling delighted.

Mai Jinsen's face was filled with contempt. He turned around and left, prompting the chief of the guards to look indifferently at the naive and astonished Gu Chengnan.

Gu Chengnan remembered that figure many years afterward; it was the first ray of optimism he had ever seen in his life.

He quickly wrapped the mecha model in clothes and rushed back home. This toy model was created in the image of the most recent Mitral combat mecha model on the market.

He'd seen mecha competitions on his optical brain's virtual network before. They resembled majestic golden warriors with their massive machine bodies and beautiful designs.

Every boy wants his own mecha, yet even the most basic D-grade mecha costs 134,000 credit points. This is a luxury for their low-income households.

Later, he was admitted to the Phisotora Military Academy and even received an acceptance letter, just as he had hoped.

Everyone in the neighborhood was envious because the Gu family had produced a military academy student. Perhaps in the future, they will be able to achieve the position of empire citizens and enjoy equal civic rights.

Gu Chengnan checked the time and knew he will be undergoing his second gender makeover soon. He'd almost certainly become a Beta.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that he would prematurely transform into an Omega, and the main offender was a noble Alpha.

But how? That day, he saw a young boy lying unconscious on the ground in an abandoned factory. The youngster was covered in blood and appeared to be seriously hurt.

Gu Chengnan approached him, and the dense Alpha pheromones hit him hard in the nose.

In theory, being a Beta, he should be immune to pheromones. He could, however, detect the aggressive pheromones.

His legs trembled involuntarily due to his inherent submissive character, which radiated from deep within him.

Gu Chengnan, on the other hand, overcame his dread and strained to pull him onto his back, unsteadily carrying the injured Alpha adolescent back home.

He meticulously cleaned his wounds and fed him two nutritional supplements.

This was his entire lunch, and giving it to this noble teenager meant that he would go hungry.

But Gu Chengnan paid no attention to it at all.

He tenderly patted his flushed cheek after treating the young boy's wound and getting ready to go outside for some fresh air.

After some time, the entire room was now filled with Alpha pheromones, making him feel weak and utterly powerless. He even experienced a strange sensation.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. He grabbed hold of Gu Chengnan's arm and leaned close, sniffing at his neck.

Gu Chengnan was stunned and nervously asked, "You... you woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person bit into the gland on the back of his neck.
