People say.

That fate is the process of walking slowly toward the person you are destined to meet one day.

But they did not know.

That fate can sometimes be cruel enough to tear the world apart.

Long ago, humanity discovered a mysterious energy nucleus existing within the human body.

Its name is the Pheromone Core.

An unknown power that is neither visible to the eye nor graspable by the hand, yet amplifies human emotion and life force.

Anger became explosive strength, sadness became a darkness that swallowed everything, and hope created miracles.

People studied that power, utilized it, and feared it.

And eventually, the world was divided into three types of humans.

Alphas, who possess overwhelming power.

Omegas, who resonate with the cores of others to stabilize Overdrive.

And Betas, who maintain balance without leaning toward either side.

On the surface, it was a peaceful world.

But that peace was a lie built upon very thin glass.

The stronger an Alpha's power, the closer they drew to Overdrive, and an Overdrive was dangerous enough to turn a city to ashes overnight.

Once a core goes into Overdrive, it devours emotions, gnaws away at humanity, and ultimately turns its owner into a monster.

That is why people called Alphas heroes, yet simultaneously regarded them as the most terrifying beings.
