Alpha & Omega

As ***The Billionaire Life*** is an *iyashikei* novel set within an omegaverse (where Omega-born males can get pregnant from their Alpha-born male mates), it is imperative to include a page dedicated to explain the characteristics and laws between Alpha & Omega. Both Alphas and Omegas are born male at first, but all males are required testing in order to determine their classification genetics.

## Alpha Characteristics

* Can only impregnate Omegas.
* They’re taller than average regular males. Their height can reach between 180 cm to 200 cm, with maximum height around 215 cm.
* They really have strong musculoskeletal systems, thus they have greater strength than regular human male. In this case, they can either look like those muscular gymnasts, old Greek olympians, bodybuilders, or even a powerlifter/strongman.
* Their immune system is extremely tough, so they don’t get sick easily. Not even from COVID.
* They have an IQ of between 145 to 160 in minimum. Some even maxed out to 170.
* At irregular basis, Alphas can get into a rut.
* Their length can reach 20 cm max while depending on their genetics, it can be 5 cm in terms of thickness.
* On every Alpha's penis, there's a special organ called bulbus glandis located at the base of their penis but the organ's muscles have extended its reach to the base of the penile head, and it expanded during rut. The gland is responsible to prevent the penis from falling out of their partner's genitals.
* When in rut, Alpha's orgasm can last from 20 to 30 minutes, ejaculating between 20 to 25 liters of semen. If both Alphas and Omegas are in heat/rut together and intercourse occurred, pregnancy is 100% assured.

## Omega Characteristics

* Only Alphas can impregnate them.
* They can only shooting blanks from their penis, even though the fluids that came out are milky white, similar to semen.
* Their heat symptoms during its sequence is more severe than female’s premenstrual syndrome.
* They were able to lactate.
* Despite having a standard strength as regular humans, they can get tired pretty easily, even just by doing cardio exercises.
* Their immune system is as the same as the male Alphas: extremely tough. So they can’t get sick easily, not even from COVID.
* Their IQ’s are standard like normal Beta humans, although Omegas with IQ of 160 are quite rare.
* They have a natural-sized plump bubble butt as well as wider hips than Beta males, but not as wide as Beta woman’s, so it can be managed. Depending on the exercise regimen or operation they took (BBL for example), those can be enlarged.
* Male omegas have Bartholin glands on their anus where it can produce natural lubricant. Just like Bartholin glands inside Beta woman’s vagina, these glands are homologous to cowper’s glands on male Alphas.
* In order for male Alphas to claim their omegas, the Alpha male must bite the male omega’s neck during climax.

## Heat Symptoms

The following below are symptoms of heat, occurring on omegas.

* At first, the omega will experience slight headache and dizziness.
* Gradually, the omega felt weak and his temperature risen. His face became pale, his head started pounding and his dizziness became worse.
* His senses detecting Alpha pheromone scents heightened. A slight cramp occurred and heartbeat becoming faster.
* As his temperature rises, he started to sweat while his penis started to erect.
* At this stage, omega pheromone scent immediately spread all across the room they inhibited.

## Rut Symptoms

The following below are symptoms of rut, occurring on alphas.

* At first, the Alpha will experience slight headache and his temperature risen.
* His face became pale while his heartbeat amplified.
* His head started to pound and the pheromones started to emit its scent in microscopic quantity.
* His senses detecting Omega pheromone scents heightened.
* A slight cramp occurred as his penis started to erect.
* Once made eye contact with an omega or a male Beta, their sanity is lost and an intercourse is done.

Usually, the rut on alphas are triggered with the pheromones emitted from the unclaimed omega or if the alpha tried to suppress their hormones without the drugs. However, if an Alpha already claimed the Omega, the rut can be triggered from the claimed omega’s heat, but happening at super speed rate.

## Pregnancy

In this omegaverse, the pregnancy symptoms on Omegas are more or less the same with regular females. However, there are few exceptions:

- If an Alpha stays close to his pregnant Omega partner, the Omega’s hormones will stabilize and morning sickness decreases gradually.

- Only the Alpha that impregnated the Omega and his impregnated Omega that can smell each other.

## Medications/contraceptive

Alphas and omegas are required to take suppression drugs in order to reduce the transmittance of sexual pheromones. The drugs works by suppressing their hormones with their opposite hormone-based ingredient. 95% of the populations are able to consume the medication, while 4% of them are unable to consume due to allergies of certain ingredients and 1% of them found them ineffective thus taking higher doses. Due to this, new varieties of suppression drugs are currently in the works. Pfizer first released these drugs in 1950s, followed by Astra AB, Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck.

The suppression drugs came in three forms:

1. Anti-heat Pills: Similar to menstrual pills, Omegas are required to digest one capsule daily. In majority cases, there are no side effects. However, if the Omega did not digest the pill for one day, their heat symptoms and pheromones will be released immediately. This is an exclusive option for Omegas.
2. Pheromone Regulator tubes: Inside the tube, there’s the suppression meds that can be released inside the body daily for thirty days. These tubes were inserted inside either arm or leg via intubation technique. Similar to Anti-heat pills, there are no side effects using the tubes. The tubes, however, must be replaced monthly.
3. Injection: Once injected in the arm or leg during heat, the heat/rut will decrease significantly in five minutes, but side effects include tiredness, dizziness, nausea and headaches occurred.

In recent years, as technology becomes more advanced, contraceptives for all humankind, including Alphas and Omegas become more affordable. While most of them use condoms more often than other means, the Alphas used ‘double bagging’ technique to prevent unwanted pregnancies and ninety percent of users of the technique testify that it does not prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Thus, condom manufacturers started producing condoms for Alphas in the eighties, which are designed more thicker than average condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce "Double bagging" technique usage.

## Legal laws regarding Alpha & Omega marriages

The United States of America, Iceland, and Netherlands are the first countries to legalize and recognize the marriages between Alphas and Omegas, with the United States putting it in effect since 4 July 1996, followed by Netherlands and Iceland in 1 January 1998. Taiwan and Thailand are the first to recognize and legalize the marriages between Alphas & Omegas, putting it in effect on 1 January 2000.

The effort of recognition and marriage legalization are then followed by countries such as Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Bhutan, Nepal, South Korea, Canada, France, Barbados, Fiji, Australia, Spain, Ukraine, Italy, Greece, and more, happening between 2001 to 2010s. By the time Sweden, Latvia, Moldova and Romania legalize and recognize Alpha and Omega marriages in 2013-2014, almost all European countries are recognize and legalized or just recognize the Alpha and Omega marriages (except Russia and Belarus).

In Indonesia, marriages between Alphas and Omegas became legal since 1 January 2015, following the ascension of President Joko Widodo. By putting it in effect, their marital status recognized nationwide and abroad. However, only one province, Aceh, that did not implement the new law due to their Shariah-law implementations, despite allowing Alphas & Omegas residing in the province. Thus, if an Aceh citizen wanted to get married legally, they have to get out of the province to do so.

The same practice is implemented in various Muslim countries such as United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. The UAE is the first to adapt and apply it in 2016, before allowing Alpha and Omega marriages in 2019.

If the Alpha and Omega couple wanted to marry abroad, they must notify the home country's registry office (Religious Affairs Office for Muslims) and the embassy of desired country before the trip.

The only countries that did not legalize and recognize the marriage between Alphas and Omegas are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russian Federation, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, and Zimbabwe. Countries that recognize the marriages but did not legalizing it are Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, People's Republic of China, Turkiye, Uzbekistan, and Vanuatu. Turkiye citizens demanded the legalization of Alpha and Omega marriages since 2000s, but until the Erdogan administration, no such law was implemented. In 2023, Turkish Presidential candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu plans to introduce the Alpha and Omega marriage laws and sped up the legalization within six months after ascension if he was elected as president.

## Religious acknowledgement on Alphas and Omegas

Buddhism was the first religion to acknowledge the existence of Alphas and Omegas as well as their need of marriages, followed by Shinto, Hinduism, Taoism, Satanism, Wicca, traditional African religions, and Confucianism. It wasn't until 1990s when Roman Catholic Church, Islam, Judaism, and Anglican Church joined other religions acknowledging the existence of Alphas and Omegas.
