Episode 1
[15th Century, Nightfall Kingdom, Alpha World Domination]
"The court has sentenced Omega named Diane Ashenheart to death on charges of engaging in s****l relations with a demon and bearing a monster child. The punishment has been determined!"
*Bam! Bam!*
The sound of the judge's gavel echoed before my eyes. The Supreme Prosecutor's Council had decided what punishment I would receive today.
"Kill her! Don't let an Omega like her live in this world!"
"She is a world destroyer! We must kill her!"
I stood with my hands and feet bound in this courtroom. Behind me, the entire Nightfall kingdom population cried out with their desire to see me sentenced to death.
Meanwhile, my parents could only weep uncontrollably. They discovered their only child would die today.
"Your Excellency Prosecutor! We beg you, our child is innocent! It is our fault for creating a dangerous thing for the kingdom! Punish us instead!"
My father, Vyntus Ashenheart, prostrated himself before the panel of judges, pleading for mercy for my life. Everyone in the room erupted in anger and began pelting my father's body with stones.
"That’s impossible! Your child must be killed! She is pregnant with a demon's child and must be eradicated from the face of the earth!"
My name is Diane Ashenheart, an 20-year-old Omega accused of carrying the child of the demon king named Theron Stormrider.
In truth, it is not real at all.
It is merely a rumor fabricated by the Nightfall kingdom populace who disliked the work of my parents.
My parents were the best scientists in this world. Since the world was predicted to end in one year, my parents have been trying to create a tool that could save the world.
That tool now resides inside me. What my parents created is a baby. This baby is prophesied to save the world from the destruction caused by a mysterious biological weapon. My parents secretly created this baby as a tool to save the world.
And thanks to this baby, I am accused of being a witch who bears the child of a demon king. They are simply afraid, unwilling to accept the fact that an Omega family as poor as ours could save the entire world.
That's why they are trying to kill me.
"Your child has committed a grave sin. She has conceived the demon king's child, and she must be put to death today." The prosecutor struck the gavel three times, making his decision final and irrevocable.
"No! Release my child! She is innocent! We are the ones to blame!"
My poor mother even kissed the feet of the prosecutor's council in a desperate plea for forgiveness. The atmosphere in the courtroom suddenly turned chaotic due to my mother's audacious act.
And as the attention began to shift, I was shocked to find the chains on my hands and feet suddenly released.
"Father?" I uttered in disbelief. I wondered when my father had slipped inside to unlock the handcuffs and shackles.
"Diane, my child, please leave this place quickly. Run to the forest and escape as far as you can. Your mother and I will handle your situation here. You must leave while there is still time."
I was astonished by my father's words. "What? No! If I go, they will kill you!"
A sad smile crept upon my father's face. "We are willing to die for you, my dear. Go, I beg you. If you love us, go and live in peace. Let your mother and I bear the weight of this sin."
"T-that’s not possible ..."
"Go quickly, Diane."
I cried uncontrollably.
My father pushed me to leave this place. Reluctantly, I went. The people behind me began to realize I was attempting to escape.
And the royal soldiers began to chase after me.
"Don't let that Omega escape! She must die!"
"Just shoot her with the rifle! Aim for her head!"
With hurried steps, I ran as fast as I could to elude them. Along the way, I continued to protect my bulging belly.
Inside this belly, a baby lives, prophesied to save the world. A baby created by my parents as a weapon. And I must protect it no matter what.

*Boom!*
"Argh!"
After successfully escaping into the forest, the royal soldiers managed to shoot my leg, causing me to fall to the ground.
‘Ugh, it hurts so much. But the baby is fine, right?’ I checked my abdomen and groin to ensure I wasn't miscarrying.
"Hey! The Omega is here! Quickly, chase her!"
"Shoot her again!"
I gasped. They were getting closer! And with my severely injured leg, I couldn't run any faster! At this rate, I would undoubtedly be captured!
"Your Excellency, we should return to the palace now. It's getting dark, and the King and Queen must be awaiting your return."
Amid the despair, my ears caught a voice not far from here. With a pounding heart, I listened intently and finally realized that an Alpha prince was hunting wild boars in this forest.
"Very well, let's go home. Please prepare—"
"Your Majesty, Prince Danielle!"
I called out to the two Alphas standing in front of me, in a loud voice. They were Prince Danielle Darkthistle Nightfall and his servant, Sagittarius.
Both of them were taken aback by the sudden interruption of their conversation by the mysterious and severely wounded Omega lying on the ground.
Danielle, the Prince of this kingdom, glanced at me with a scrutinizing gaze. He surveyed my bloodied body with a disgusted expression.
"Who are you? What is an Omega doing here?" he said sarcastically.
"Please, help me! I'm being chased by the royal soldiers, and they will kill me!" I pleaded desperately.
"What? Royal Soldiers?" He appeared surprised once again. "So ... you are the Omega witch who was supposed to be executed today? How did you manage to escape?"
Damn it. It seems news of my sentence has reached Prince Danielle's ears!
I have to find another way to persuade him to help me! I can't die here! The baby in my womb must survive!
"Please, help me, Prince!"
"Your Majesty, we'd better go. Pay no mind to this Omega. She deserves to die." Sagittarius pushed Danielle away from me.
They slowly ignored me, even though I was on the brink of death. Regardless of my pleas, Danielle showed no concern. Finally, I decided to use a dirty tactic.
‘If you won't help me willingly, then I'll do it by any means necessary.’
"Prince Danielle! I can save your kingdom from the great apocalypse disaster!"
In an instant, Danielle and Sagittarius, who were about to mount their horses, abruptly stopped. Both of them turned back towards me, their faces filled with surprise.
"What did you say?" Danielle responded with an unexpectedly shocked expression. "You can save my kingdom? From the apocalypse? How can an Omega like you save the world?"
