CONTEXT (In South Korea, the Squid Game takes place in a secretive facility on a remote island, where financially desperate individuals compete in deadly children's games for a massive cash prize.

Set in the Omegaverse universe, which consists of Secondary Genders which are: Alpha, Beta, Omega, Delta, and Enigma, including the primary genders, which are male, female. Scent glands are located in the wrists, napes and inner thighs. Scent glands are found on all A/B/O types. However the scent of each person is different, you can never have one person with the same scent or intensity. Omegas have sweet scents, Betas are calming/natural scents, and Alphas have strong overpowering musky scents. Deltas have a mix of natural and musky scents and Enigmas have overwhelming scents. Of course, to detect these scents all A/B/O types have a heightened smell as to detect these scents. Scents also are a way of expressing ones distress, anger, and or arousal.)
