Billions of Humans transmigrated to another dimension, each became a Land Ruler at the start and owned a castle. Each Land Ruler would draw a random starting Soldier-type Building, used to arm their castles. Recruit more soldier-types, plunder resources, and dominate the world! Some drew the Sacred Palace of Knights from the start and commanded troops of knights to crush all obstacles in its way, ruling over vast lands. Some drew the Goblin Cave, developed castle trade, and became renowned dirty profiteers. Of course, more people only drew the most unremarkable soldier-types: Goblins, Lizard Man, Skeleton Soldiers…… These people could only kneel before the powerful Land Rulers and serve them as slaves. But Mike was an exception. His starter soldier-type building was, Dragon Nest! Glacial Dragon, Hellfire Dragon, Undead Dragon, Black Dragon…... When one after another dragon egg appeared before Mike, he suddenly felt that…...conquering the World seemed quite manageable?

Yu Jiu is a beta, good looking, good at learning basketball and playing well, even better than Alpha in fights, he is recognized as an outlier in school.
Nobody knew he was actually an omega.
Later, another alien was transferred to the school.
Zhai Chi is the bamboo horse Yu Jiu hasn’t seen in five years. He is an Alpha. He is kind and funny. He never releases pheromones to others. He is so gentle that he doesn’t look like an Alpha. With his face, he quickly becomes the dream love of all the omega in Yizhong!
Due to physical reasons, Yu Jiu rejected all Alpha pheromones, especially Zhai Chi, so he decided to keep a distance from his bamboo horse.
However, not long after, Zhai Chi transferred to his class and asked to sit at the same table with him: “I’m new here, and you are my only friend.”
Yu Jiu: He’s so pitiful…he’s just sitting at the same table, he won’t get pheromones!
Going back to the dormitory at night, Zhai Chi has already made a bed in his dormitory: “I’m going back to China alone, and I don’t know the place where I live. If you don’t take me in, I’m going to sleep on the street.”
Yu Jiu: It’s not easy for him…same bed and different bed, it won’t affect.
Once when Yu Jiu fought with someone outside the school, Zhai Chi’s legs went limp when he saw the blood: “It’s too cruel, too bloody, I’ve never seen such a violent scene!”
Yu Jiu: He’s really weak…I want to protect him!
Until later, Yu Jiu was suppressed by a group of Alphas with pheromones, and Zhai Chi overwhelmed all the Alphas in less than ten seconds.
Yu Jiu: …
Later, when Yu Jiu had an unexpected fever, he broke the can and threw the dead horse into a living horse doctor, so Zhai Chi, who had never released pheromones, made a temporary mark on him.
Yu Jiu: Alpha is indeed Alpha, and it is still useful at critical moments.
He wanted to slip away afterwards, but at this moment the Alpha who had just tagged him grabbed his waist, looked at him eagerly and said, “Are you going to abandon me all the time?”
Yu Jiu: “…”
