It was supposed to be just a game.
For Takemichi Hanagaki A dvd worker, St. Mary's Private School was the perfect escape. An immersive otome game set in a world defined by a brutal, colored-collar hierarchy-black for servants, blue for the common masses, and white for the dominant alphas and omegas at the top. Its unique feature, allowing him to type his own responses, made the beautiful, fictional students feel more real than the people in his everyday life. What began as a casual recommendation from a coworker spiraled into an obsession he couldn't shake.
But when his phone glitches as he tries to delete the app, the game fights back.
Takemichi awakens not in his cramped apartment, but on the cold, fog-shrouded grounds of St. Mary's itself. He is no longer a player; he is a part of the game's twisted reality. The system, unable to process his presence, brands him as an omega with no collar-an impossible, unranked entity that shouldn't exist. An anomaly.
And anomalies do not go unnoticed.
The love interests he once found charming are now horrifyingly real. Their programmed affection has mutated into a chilling, possessive obsession. The white-collar alpha student council president sees him as a rare treasure to be dominated and owned. The black-collar omega servant views him as a kindred spirit to be broken and kept. The friendly blue-collar beta's curiosity curdles into a desperate, suffocating need. Each of them is drawn to the glitch in their world, and their attention is anything but loving.
Trapped in a gilded cage with no rules but theirs, Takemichi must navigate a waking nightmare where every whispered word of endearment is a threat and every gentle touch is a chain. The scariest part of being trapped in the game isn't the danger-it's the fact that the monsters pursuing him were once the only things that made him feel loved. To survive, he must find a way out before the collars, or the beautiful monsters who wear them, claim him forever.
