Finally fixed, Epsilon was back to his original strength. Lance Quaid then looked at me. "Are you here to accept the position of Sage?" he asked. I said "I will on 2 crucial conditions. I want some real assurances here." He nodded and looked at me to tell him. "First, the area better be good. Not some frontier backwater. Second, Epsilon comes with me." I pulled Epsilon closer to me by the hip. He was surprised, but nodded. Lance Quaid crossed his arms and sighed. "Fine. It won't be the starting area, but it will be near an important dungeon. Your buddy can go with you if you like." That was fine with me and I signed up. He smiled and led the 2 of us to a portal. He then gave me a log with a description and the territory I would be a Sage for. "Everything you need to know starting out will be in the log. If you have any questions you can contact me directly using the directions at the bottom." The world we were going to was called Havvia. It was a really small world on a nice sub server. Havvia was an omegaverse in a mockup of medieval Japan. It meant humans had secondary genders.
There were 5 secondary genders, although 3 were much more common. They were beta, alpha, omega, sigma and psi. Betas were the regular humans. Alphas were all blessed with talent beauty and skill. Along with it was a streak of dominance. Omegas were cute and blessed with fertility. Omegas could get pregnant whether they were male or female. Every so often omegas went into heat. Alphas went into rut. Sigmas and psis were rarer. Sigmas were super alphas. Psis were super omegas. Since I had the logs, I knew how psis and sigmas could occur. To become a sigma, you needed to be an alpha that topped 3 other alphas. A psi person occurred when an omega bottomed for 3 other omegas. A "heat" was a period where an omega was at their most fertile. For 48 in-game hours, the omega would constantly produce pheromones as their internal temperature rose drastically. Mechanically, they would have a 50% debuff to relay the delirious state they were in. Alphas that inhaled the pheromones would go into rut. They became extremely aggressive and horny with a desire to breed.
Rutting alphas had a nice 50% buff to speed and strength, but every other stat they had fell by 50%. This made them very dangerous around omegas in heat. When they got with an omega in heat, the primal urge to mount and mate could not be denied. Omegan wombs in heat were 50% more fertile during a heat. An alpha could claim an omega mate by biting the nape of an omega's neck during mating. Omegas were mated for life. When mated, they could not have sex with anyone else without severe discomfort and distress. In more modern omegaverse stories, there were various medicines that were able to suppress heats and ruts. The government would give it out for free. It was better to not have sex crazed people running around trying to gang rape people on the streets. Here in this medieval setting, only medicine makers would be able to create it. As a Sage, I would simply keep a ton of heat suppressants on me to keep omegas safe. Alpha pheromones were used to show force and dominate others. Sigmas and psis had stronger ones. Betas were immune to all their pheromones.
