In a kingdom where power is ruled by blood and scent, love is the most dangerous rebellion. Liora Vayne has spent years on the run, disguising herself with heat suppressants to hide the truth of what she is-an omega in a world that chains her kind to alphas through laws, collars, and cold tradition.

When she saves a wounded stranger from the dust-choked roadside, Liora doesn't expect her to be Veyra Halvarin-the kingdom's heir, an alpha general, and the sole survivor of a brutal attempt on the royal bloodline. Charged with warning the court, Veyra insists Liora escort her to the nearest outpost. Yet as danger stalks closer and Liora's last suppressant begins to fail, the secrets between them deepen-and their pull toward one another grows harder to resist. Together, they'll uncover the rot festering in the heart of the kingdom's court. But while Liora battles the laws that would enslave her, Veyra must choose between duty and desire, tradition and truth. And both must face the pain of a fate that may have bound them long before they ever met. A slow-burn omegaverse fantasy of forbidden love, royal betrayal, and the perilous power of scent, trust, and fate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbHq8d5SzI0

He thinks he’s in control. He is wrong. “Touch me again,” she says, voice velvet and venom, “and I’ll show you the truth. .” He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does… the only question that remains is: “Will you let me live?” “Live?” she echoes. “What makes you think you get to choose again?”

I've transmigrated into a game of an apocalyptic world. The game was called "Lunar Eclipse", it's about fighting against strange looking monsters... and It was a virtual game.

Anyhow, if you gets to the end of the game then it's said you'll be granted any wish you want. So I just have to beat the game and I can transmigrate into my favorite novels instead! Well, if only it was that easy... It's a survival action game said to be "impossible" to beat by it's players. And I've never beaten it, no one's ever done so.

Luckily, other people will also get transmigrated here and hopefully I'll be able to make friends with some of them and survive with them together until the end! Or I hope it will be that way...
