Can You Mark Me?

[Top] [AO] Also known as "I Forgot You"

Derek was the emperor's adopted son. He received what people called favoritism, but also faced exclusion. Despite all the criticism, he secured his position as the empire's Marshal. No one could match his military achievements. His only flaw was that he wasn't well liked.

Even the palace cat would scratch him as it passed by, let alone his former prized student, who had gradually drifted away from him just like everyone else.

He took part in a battle with an exceptionally high traitor count and, unsurprisingly, died.

The good news: He came back to life.

The bad news: He was in someone else's body, and had become an Omega.

Derek, the iron-blooded straight Alpha: ... (Can I just die again?)

By chance, he reunited with his former prized student, with whom he had long since become a stranger: Seville, the empire's newly appointed Duke of Lane and a power second only to the emperor.

The good news: Seville clearly still couldn't forget him, and would give anything to get even a single keepsake of his.

Derek (putting on his secret identity) (taking out a keepsake): How about we talk business?

The bad news: He accidentally caught a whiff of Seville's pheromones and nearly couldn't walk. Their compatibility was incredibly high, possibly 100%.

Derek: …

The even worse news: Because he awakened so late, he had to find someone to complete a bond with as soon as possible, or he would die from a breakdown of his mental powers.

Derek: There's no way I'm getting marked! Not in this lifetime! I'm an Alpha, damn it!

He pretended to forget that he'd become an Omega and needed to be marked, but soon discovered there was no need to pretend to have amnesia. He really did have amnesia.

Someone had tampered with his memories. He hadn't just forgotten where he came from, but also the place he belonged to.

Later, a bonding inhibitor was placed in front of him. It could delay his heat.

Derek: (Actually, that sounds pretty good.) Maybe I don't need it after all.

Random passerby: ...?

When the day of the marking came, he surrendered against his will. "Seville, will you mark me?"

[New Serial] The Marriage Match Is a Feathered Serpent Alpha

You Yu is the son of an executive at the Cromer Group, a wealthy young master who seems to have it all to outsiders.

But to You Yu, the group is a shadow hanging over his head, and his outwardly harmonious family is a hell of misery. His parents have become shackles that bind him, trapping him in that hell. His childhood was a disaster. His deformed body subjected him to endless humiliation, and his marriage arrangement as an adult felt like rape he couldn't refuse.

He lives under endless violence and control, a fish tied to the bottom of a pool, unable to escape and unable to die.

He had imagined every possibility life could hold, except being rescued.

He thought the cancellation of his original marriage arrangement would be a good thing, but all it led to was his being shoved roughly into another arranged marriage.

His new marriage partner is the younger brother of the Alpha he'd been engaged to since childhood. He hears that this Alpha's gland is damaged and he can't mark an Omega. He hears that the Alpha agreed to the marriage only because he needs a ticket into the group.

After the wedding, he waits for new torments to begin. But this time, the person who enters his life brings him not disaster, but a light within his reach.

To Shang Zuo, You Yu is like a blazing sun suspended over a wilderness. Its setting into darkness doesn't mean the end, but the beginning of dawn on the other side of the planet. He will send You Yu to the unreachable heights, help him fulfill his dreams, and give him endless freedom.

-Humorous Version-

Long ago, the Alliance had a famous Viper Squad, whose commander, Shang Zuo, was a mighty feathered serpent.

One day, Shang Zuo was ambushed and awakened a supernatural ability. Unfortunately, his gland was badly damaged, and his ability was a little hard to describe: it was very easy to poison himself with it.

Shang Zuo: Look, this is a venomous fang. (Licks it, starts bleeding) (Passes out on the spot)

A few hours later, Shang Zuo wakes up: ? Not sure. Let's try again. (Licks fang) (Collapses) (Taken to the ICU)

Friends and family arriving to collect the body: What a mess.

None of the Alliance's healing ability users could cure Shang Zuo's gland condition, and no Omega could withstand a mark from Shang Zuo, whose venom was deadly, until You Yu appeared.

You Yu (reaches out boldly) (touches the fang) (starts bleeding) (calmly examines the wound)

Shang Zuo (horrified) (immediately calls 120) (with practiced ease)

You Yu grabs him: (calmly) Sorry, your venom doesn't affect me. I can probably heal your gland too (.).

Shang Zuo: ?

-

He accidentally cured the condition, and his ability became a little too powerful. Whoever he touched died, and whoever he glared at got hard.

You Yu: Hmm... I just gave it a quick fix.

-

"I hope the disasters of my past will lay the foundation for my future. I hope everything that binds me will become the cornerstone of my freedom. The pain of being destroyed won't disappear. It will become an inexhaustible source of energy for me."
