Chapter 1 - Chapter-1: Where Dreams Begin

"Finally.., I made it to Tokyo"

Ren smiles as he looks towards the big Auditorium before him with eyes filled with dreams and aspirations.

Ren's face lits up with joy as his hair is waving with the pleasant spring breeze which is symbolizing his hopes towards his dream.

In front of Ren there is a big Auditorium where the banner states that the selection of a new Idol group is going to take place and today is the Audition for the participants.

Becoming an idol for people like Ren in this world is quite hard as having a good voice and talent are not sufficient.

They should also have a good physique and handsome face which the people will fancy and mainly they should be an alpha.

But this time the selection is open to all genders and this is what made Ren come closer to his dream.

Ren is 6ft tall with broad shoulders and a thin waist which perfectly fits for the standard physique and he also has a pale handsome face and brown eyes with silver hair, which makes him quite attractive and people could assume that he is an Alpha if they don't know his identity.

At the venue as he stepped towards the Auditorium, many eyes glanced at him as if they saw someone incredible.

Ren is observing all the eyes which were noticing his presence and couldn't help but feel a bit nervous on this important day.

Many contestants and their family members arrived at the venue to support their children, they all want their children to be successful.

Just as Ren Entered the Auditorium, he saw that the hall is divided into 3 different sections with Hoarding of Alpha's, Beta's and Omega's.

He observed that very few seats of Omega's were occupied while Alpha's and Beta's seats were mostly filled.

Ren saw that there were many Alpha's who were going to compete in the competition who were quite handsome and also some gorgeous Omega's who were quite seductive in their outfits.

"I don't think they will make it to the end" Ren thought to himself as he looked at those Omega's with a prejudice in his eyes.

He bites his lips as his prejudice feels reality and turns towards the Beta's section.

He then grabbed a seat and felt nervous by looking at so many people around him. 

The people around him felt inferior as their looks could tell that his presence would diminish as soon as Ren took a seat beside them and moved away.

Just then an Alpha noticed his outstanding presence and approached him.

"Hi, My name is Leo" 

He extended his arm towards him for a handshake.

Ren lifted his head to look at the person beside him and his perfect jawline caught Leo's attention which made his ears turn red.

"He is surely an Alpha" Ren thought to himself as he saw himself.

Leo is 6ft 2in tall with broad shoulders, his thick black wavy hair covering his eyes, making him look mysterious. 

"Hi, I am Ren. Nice to meet you" They both shook their hands.

"Are you sure you sat in the right place?" 

Leo asked him as if he was suggesting that he should sit elsewhere.

"Yes.."

"But why did you ask that?" 

Ren is a bit puzzled by his question and also a bit tense.

"No, Nothing I thought you didn't read the board, i think that is where you should sit" He pointed his fingers to the board stating- Alpha.

Ren smiled with relief and his eyes dazzled up as someone actually assumed him to be an Alpha.

"No, I sat in the right place" 

He confirmed Leo with a smile.

"His eyes are charming" Leo thought to himself as he saw Ren's eyes and gulped in disbelief on how he was reacting to him.

Leo's Heart raced looking at Ren's smile and he couldn't remove his eyes from him for a moment.

"What in the world am I feeling right now? How can my heart race looking at a Beta" his heart raced and he concealed it with a smile.

"Ok Then, let's catch up some other time" He ended the conversation to sit back in his place.

As Leo sat in his place he could still feel his heart racing faster and Ren greets him once again with a warm smile and turns around.

"Why are my pheromones acting up as I see him smile?" Leo tries to control his emotions but he can't. He burst into sweat as he finally struggled to control himself.

Just then another person enters the auditorium.

A 6ft tall figure with broad shoulders and an aesthetic build up is walking from the entrance with brown hair and charming hazel eyes.

The whispers of admiration caught Ren's attention and he turned around to take a glimpse.

Ren's face instantly froze with admiration.

"How can a person be this stunning?"

"He is Clearly an Alpha" Ren spoke out.

"Why did I say that out loud?" He felt embarrassed and this caught that person's attention.

All the omega's in their seats turned around to look at him and they were awe struck by his handsome face with light tanned skin tone.

Their scents acted up instantly without their control as soon as they saw him.

"I should get his attention no matter what" some of the Omegas released their scents intentionally to attract him and everyone notices her except him, he didn't even budge to look at her.

The burst in scents made the Alpha's in the room uncomfortable and made it hard to resist their pheromones.

"Hmph.." she sighs in anger and others also feel disappointed.

Some other Alpha's soon approach the omegas but they turn around rejecting their advances.

"He surely is a strong Alpha, he resisted that tempting orchid scent" others whispered.

The entrance door has been finally closed and the screening round has begun.

This is the first round where the participants have to pass through with their intro, vocals or dance whichever the participants are good at and the Judges will give points based on their Bio, Visuals and skills.

At the end top 100 candidates will be shortlisted for the next round.

First Alpha's were called upon one by one and as their Audition ended it was already past 3 O'clock.

Then they called upon the Omega's who are just around 20 members and it all ended by 5 O'clock.

Just then the selection coordinator came to the hall and announced that the audition has ended and the results will be announced shortly.

I felt my feet get cold.

"That's it?"

"Will I not get the chance to prove my worth?"

Thoughts ran in my mind as I froze.

Soon Panic arose in the crowd as the selection process of Betas had been terminated.

Even some alphas and Omegas were left in surprise and they started to gossip among themselves.

"This is what they always do" a thin voice of despair spoke among the crowd and Ren happened to hear it.

While others were throwing a tantrum on the selection panel, that person slowly got up from his place, ready to leave without a sign of anger.

His face looked like he anticipated this and already accepted their decision.

"What is wrong with this person?"

"How can he be this calm without any anger when an opportunity is lost"

Ren's mind is puzzled with questions and he doesn't hold back anymore.

"Wait, aren't you going to oppose them and fight for your rights?" Ren stopped him by grabbing his hand as the person turned away.

"What rights do we even have?" he spoke in a cold tone filled with despair.

Ren couldn't contradict him anymore and left speechless.

"I am used to it, when is this world fair to Beta's anyway" 

He smiled but Ren could tell that the person before him was sad and lost the little hope left inside him.

Ren got in front of him, only to see a mature handsome face with a good physique. 

He recognized that the person in front of him was even taller than him and almost 6ft 1in tall with greyish-black hair.

"Wow, he is handsome"

Ren admired his looks, the person standing in front of him had a cold persona.

"But why does such a handsome man look so disappointed"

 

"Why do you think like that? Aren't we better off than Omega's?" Ren questioned him.

"Huuh" he felt frustrated by Ren's question.

"How is that even considered better if you can't even get an opportunity like them"

Though his response was hard, it still had some truth in it.

In this Idol selection, after alpha's, only Omega's were considered as they look cute and seductive which makes the fans wet with pleasure and go crazy about them.

Though no omega has succeeded to reach the pinnacle of the world like Alpha's, they were still considered successful as long as they look beautiful and handsome making them the perfect example for a submissive partner.

That image of a submissive partner makes the people go crazy about them until they get marked by some alpha.

Though Ren hesitates for a bit, he stops him once again.

"So are you going to just let it go?"

"No.." He sighed as his shoulders lowered, showing his disappointment but smiled back towards Ren.

"It's not new to me, I will try somewhere else"

This isn't the first time he has been turned down, although it sounds like he is used to it. The thought of getting used to it feels depressing.

Ren can clearly tell that the person in front of him is heartbroken, just then a voice catched everyone's attention.

An Alpha stood up and walked towards the person in charge.

"Why don't you take their Screening test?" 

The person in front of them is fit with a good muscle buildup as they could clearly see his muscles though his shirt.

He has a tan skin tone with a charming look and Silver hair which totally gives the vibes of a rich heir.

Though the situation is a bit tense, the omega's still froze in that instant to admire his handsome face.

He raised his eyebrow with a serious expression and this made the selection coordinator speechless.

"Young Master Rei, why are you here?"

"What, he is the Heir of Light-Entertainment?"
