Novel Bin Chapter 108 - The deadly omega
Chapter 108 - The deadly omega
As Beluga and Ben watched the sickly, aggressive dog outside the dog park, Beluga furrowed his brows. "Females are hesitant to meet unknown males because they’re afraid of running into a very dangerous type of man—the omega..."
Ben raised an eyebrow. "Why? At that advanced age, Magneto won’t get it up..."
...
Beluga was speechless for a while. "Not those omegas... The omegas I’m talking about are the ones in the bottom tier of the social hierarchy, below betas. They’re the males who can’t get any female. The terrible part is...that has the potential to distort them into the most dangerous characters. You see, sometimes, when a man lacks s.e.x for a long time, it can drive him insane...
It may be because females have no interest due to his value being very low. Or maybe he has a physical or psychological issue resulting in an inability to have intercourse. Either way, it can twist a man’s personality. Many serial killers emerged from such conditions.’
Ben frowned.
"Well, these types of men are very rare, but they’re the ones horror stories come from... As a result, they make women wary of all men..."
"F*cking it up for everybody...." Ben shook his head. "All right, I understood everything. I can see why a monogamous relationship doesn’t suit me right now..."
Beluga followed up. "It’s not that a girlfriend is always bad, it’s just that the best type is very rare. In my opinion, the ideal girlfriend...would understand I’m single while she’s not..."
...
"Is that not the default female mindset?" Ben had a bad feeling...
Beluga sighed. "No..."
Ben’s face became tense. ’This doesn’t seem to fit with the reality in all the novels I read... So he’s saying that girls won’t automatically accept me sleeping with all their friends and still join my harem?’
...
Beluga explained. "Women prefer exclusivity and the majority are prone to jealousy. I can only think of a few conditions where women might accept you being polygamous in the open: either they’re Mormons, your value is extremely high, your game is very strong, or you’re the emperor..."
As the two walked around the sunny dog park, Ben took a minute to consider his optimal future path... ’Do I really have to give up on becoming the emperor?
...
No...if my story lasts long enough, it’s inevitable...’ He believed in the power of a franchise...
"Benjamin, If you end up choosing to ignore my words and enter a relationship, it’s not the worst thing. I’m sure you’ll at least learn from the experience. Just understand you’ll be taking a loss. But if you have to jump into the pit, at least avoid diving in headfirst; Heed this important advice.
One mistake many men make is that when they make progress with a female, they visualize the dog, the house, the white picket fence... Meanwhile, the truth is...they don’t know her... To truly know someone, it takes years of seeing how they react through the good and more importantly, bad times. That’s why you need to take it slow."
Ben appreciated all this advice. "Thanks, Beluga..." In a world rife with media manipulation where most people considered political correctness foremost, it was difficult to meet someone who would give it to you straight. Ben was becoming aware that most people liked someone telling them what to do and think. Few enjoyed considering a possible truth if the implication wasn’t family-friendly and "wholesome..."
"You’re welcome... I wish someone told me these things when I was your age." He shook his head. "Well, in the end, it’s all about what makes you happy, and the way I see it, if you want to find a female who satisfies you, there are five key secrets..."
Ben stared on with eagerness, not wanting to miss a word about these keys to happiness...
Beluga lifted one finger. "One: find a woman who can cook.
Two: find a woman who truly listens to you.
Three: find a woman who shares your hobbies.
Four: find a woman who is incredible in bed.
Five: now this is the last and most important one--ensure the above four women never find out about each other..."
...
Nodding with enthusiasm, Ben couldn’t agree more...
Speaking of women making him happy, Ben remembered an issue that’s been troubling him. "You remember the last time I called you, I told you about that girl Lia I hooked up with at a bar... She hasn’t been calling me back. What’s up with that?"
Beluga spread a helpless smile. "You overloaded her..."
Ben squinted. "But I didn’t even inject my load!"
"That’s not what it means! ...It’s because you did insufficient comfort. When you perform a s.e.x.u.a.l activity with a female, but her comfort isn’t high enough because she’s drunk or a s.l.u.t, she’ll feel bad about it afterward. The hookup will create cognitive dissonance: an imbalance between her image of herself and her s.l.u.tty behavior.
On one hand, she doesn’t want to consider herself loose. On the other, she acted like a s.l.u.t with a guy she didn’t know. The existence of these two things creates a contradiction in her mind. To solve it, she has two choices: adjust her perception of herself by accepting she’s a s.l.u.t, or ignore and forget about you, pretending it never happened... Forgetting is much easier for a female than you might think. So which one do you think most women choose?"
Ben sighed. "Do I have no chance?"
"She won’t respond to your attempts to contact her. Your only chance is if you run into her in person, then you can try to restart the process. I’ll tell you another thing...that girl Penelope you told me about will probably be similar. She was also drunk. Once her drunkenness wore off, it’s likely she remembered what happened and regretted it. So when she doesn’t pick up your calls either, don’t be surprised."
Ben winced. It was like finding out that not only his wife, but also his mistress was leaving him...
...
After that, the two chatted a little more before Ben went home. He wasn’t in the mood to approach girls, since he’d been doing that non-stop for the past month. He needed a break. As Ben left, he thought about the bad news he received from Beluga about Lia and Penelope. It was tough to swallow. Yet, if there’s one thing he developed over the recent past, it was determination. ’I won’t quit. Once I’m on a mission, I must succeed.’
He planned to cuckold everyone in his way...
***
Ben spent the rest of the day doing normal things, activities a person who wasn’t trying to outrun death might do. Now, he laid in bed, gazing at the ceiling and thinking about the last month. Although it was the worst time of his life, it was also the best. Not only did he attain multiple women out of his league, but he improved himself an incredible amount, progressing at a rate he couldn’t have imagined before. It was the most alive he’d ever felt! Not to mention that in the finale, he even Pinnochio’d a girl and became a real man...
’I survived... It was terrifying, but with high risk comes high reward. Everything about me has changed...my body, friends, women, and especially my mind... I went from a clueless nothing to...a potential something...with a few clues...
Ok, so there’s still a lot of work to do...but some people call that potential!
I suppose I could now even be considered half a playboy...ok, a quarter...’
He smiled as he thought about the possibilities for his future. ’Since I’ve made it this far...I may as well go further...all the way. Since I lived...then I’ll live well!’
Having a knife on his throat this past month forced Ben to make great leaps, but it wasn’t the end. He’d tasted the good things that life could offer, and now, he wanted more! Ben realized the system was his ticket to a better life. The points and items allowed him to raise his stats! The skills helped him to achieve incredible feats! Everything was super useful to his future! That’s when he saw the propeller hat in the corner...
’Most of it is super useful to my future!’
They couldn’t all be winners...
Ben visualized his destiny. ’One day at a time, I’ll speed up my pace, building momentum, until nothing can block my path! This is the beginning of my colorful student life!’
...
He laughed. ’Won’t everything only get better from now on?"
[No]
...
Hearing the voice, Ben sighed and closed his eyes for a long time. ’So she woke up...’ Although he liked the features of the system, which part of her personality was any good thing?!?
Still, he wouldn’t let it get him down. Since she was back, he tried to look at it in a positive light. "She just couldn’t stay away from the sting..."
[Congratulations! You’ve unlocked primary functions]
Ben smirked. "As suspected..."
[Congratulations! You’ve unlocked a new death challenge]
...
Ben turned pale. "I take it back...you’re an independent woman...powerful and brave!"
...
He learned today, that sometimes, there was no way to appease a woman...
