Paul Imprint

Gu Xia, known as the Red Monster, had always been the quirkiest one among women. She had an extraordinary personality, exceptional job, and magic touch. Loving to play the fool to catch the wise, she had been causing chaos everywhere since her youth. One day, she was suddenly whisked away and married by a man called "Little Fox," thinking she would just swindle some money from this supposedly foolish son of a landlord. Little did she know, this son was not only smart, but he also deeply imprinted her with a 'Little Fox' of his own. This trick turned into a lifetime, leaving her with a heart so consumed and soul so corrupted she had nowhere to escape. The story features strong leads, both male and female, delivers a deadly dose of sweetness, and is a hilariously heartwarming tale of pampering! Also, highly recommended is the completed hit novel by Pigpig, "Youth Begins with Meeting Him."

Everything was fine until his drunk, gambling-addicted father suddenly announced he was marrying a woman he had just met. Worse? The night before the wedding, Seamus dreamed his soon-to-be stepmom was sucking his dad’s blood. Too bad he couldn’t stop the wedding.

But June refuses to let Kind’s fears push him away. Slowly, he helps Kind see that love isn’t about fate—it’s about choice. And for the first time in his life, Kind chooses love. He chooses June. But just when they think they’ve found their forever, reality crashes in. The universe gives them only eight days—eight days to love each other before everything falls apart. Why does fate refuse to let them be together? Is it their families? Society? Or is there something even more cruel waiting for them? Eight days. One love story. A fight against fate.

-------------- Ares Halvard Constantine: "Just two words: You are mine, and my mate." * Valeska Steel was killed. Ares Halvard, who had imprinted and made Valeska his mate, did not want their love to end tragically by death; he desperately defied fate and took Valeska's corpse across to the Netherworld, using the Forbidden Grimoire portal. As compensation, he left Valeska's soul adrift, thrown into the transmigration world, and reincarnated in the body of Vienna Beaumont. * Ares emphasizes his words in a husky, absolute voice. "Every man who dares touched you, so I cut off those arms. What's so hard to understand?" Valeska's life would never be the same again. -------

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] “Fuck, you’re not what I expected.” The words cut clean through my mind, link, sudden, and unmistakable, and I froze. The man standing before me was more than wreckage washed ashore. Caelan was the outcast, born a Witch-Fae, and they termed him the wild one. Born of both courts and claimed by neither, he was a creature of untamed magic and impossible legend. And now, he stood before me at the edge of the Pearl Castle, salt water curling around his ankles, cloak clinging to his frame like shadows and silk. “Up close, you’re even more handsome, Morkai,” he said aloud, voice rough but laced with a mocking edge, and he grinned like someone who’d just won a very long game. My pulse kicked hard beneath my ribs and realized that I’d known him before this moment. Not his face, not his form but his voice and his presence. That voice had pierced my thoughts through the link days ago, waking something I thought long dead. “You’re Caelen,” I said quietly, reverently. He winked and stepped closer, unconcerned by the power thrumming between us. “Didn’t think you’d recognize me so fast, your Majesty.” “Your voice is imprinted in my mind,” I replied, the truth spilling out before I could stop it. Caelen tilted his head slightly, the wet strands of his dark hair catching in the breeze. His green eyes, bright and impossibly deep, caught mine and held them. “Then I suppose meeting you here was inevitable,” he said, softer now. I stepped forward. I heard the way his breath hitched, and I knew then he was as affected by me as I was by him. “You are truly a sight to behold. Is this magic or witchery?” I murmured, and a flicker passed through his expression, like he’d been waiting for those words. “Oh,” he said, voice dipping low as he moved closer, close enough for our magic to stir the air between us, and he raised his chin, stared up into my eyes, and spoke with quiet fire, “What about you, your Majesty?” He paused. “You’re not just handsome, you're the kind of beautiful that unsettles every part of my body, since the first time I set my eyes on you." My breath caught, and for the first time in a century, the sea went silent around me. *************************************************************************************** Beneath the waves, destiny awakens. On the shore, something ancient stirs. Morkai Vaelan, the Abyssal Sovereign, was once a prince, now a legend, drowned in time. Bound to the sea by a forgotten curse, he reigns in solitude from his spectral Pearl Castle, feared by sailors and forsaken by the gods. His heart, like the ocean, hides storms no one dares to weather. Caelen Thorne is a Witch-Fae with no home to call his own. Too wild for witches and too human for Fae, he is haunted by a prophecy that marks him as both a harbinger and a key. His magic is dangerous. His past, a mystery. And his future? Drenched in blood and saltwater. When a rupture in the ocean's heart threatens to destroy both land and sea, Morkai and Caelen are bound by a force older than time and drawn into a love that defies every law of gods and men. But as desire deepens and secrets surface, they must face the greatest danger of all: each other. Dark, romantic, and sweeping as the tide, The Drowned Prince and the Outcast is a tale of ancient magic, forbidden love, and the storm that comes when two broken souls refuse to let go.

For ten long years, Tatsuya Fukushu lived through hell. Every day, he was beaten. Every day, he was mocked. Every day, he was reminded that the world didn’t want someone like him. The cruelty of his classmates became routine—their fists, their words, their laughter. He endured it all in silence, believing that someday it would end. That someday, if he just kept going, peace would come. But peace never came. One day, something inside him shattered. And in a blind, terrifying moment of rage, he killed them—the three bullies who tormented him for a decade. His hands were stained. His heart, empty. He thought he would finally die. He wanted to die. Instead, he woke up in another world. A world of magic, kingdoms, and ancient prophecy. A world where people could fly, summon fire, and carve mountains with a sword. A world that felt too alive for someone as broken as him. Tatsuya didn’t rejoice at the second chance. He hated it. Hated the sky, the air, the mana that pulsed through him. He wanted silence. He wanted peace. And most of all—he wanted to disappear. But fate is rarely kind. A strange knight named Paul found him, battered and aimless. He claimed there was a prophecy. That someone like Tatsuya had been foretold. Tatsuya didn’t believe a word of it. He didn’t trust him. Why should he? But Paul didn’t ask him to believe. He simply trained him—day after day, sword in hand, never holding back. There were no kind words, only discipline. No promises, only purpose. And slowly, through blood and sweat, Tatsuya began to understand. Trust wasn’t something that came from words. It came from action. And maybe, just maybe… He wasn’t alone anymore.

Meet Hayato—just your average (okay, severely traumatized) high schooler who takes the express train to the afterlife… only to respawn as Kibo Satoru, the son of a powerful noble family. White hair?

But hey, life isn’t all epic battles and badass moments. Kibo is still human, still figuring things out, and still scared of losing the people who actually care about him. And yeah, sometimes the weight of it all almost breaks him. Almost. But Kibo isn’t going down without a fight. If fate wants to mess with him, it better be ready for the fight of his entire life. A story about love, loss, and one reincarnated lunatic who refuses to stay down. Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/qbGQPPxQtn

Shortly after Chuck departed, Louis turned to Allison with a look of astonishment and inquired, "Who, precisely, is Chuck Cannon? I had assumed he was just an ordinary individual. He has undergone significant changes; he is no longer the same Chuck I married. While I am uncertain about the nature of these changes, I am confident that we will navigate this together. Perhaps we should consider engaging a formidable organization to address this matter effectively. Louis expressed uncertainty regarding that matter. Regardless, the last occasion we pursued this approach did not produce the desired outcome, as evidenced by our present circumstances.

Cultivation. Immortals. The Gods. A System. Sun Mo! Get ready to face the wrath of the entire world!" said a one of the hundreds of immortals across the Heavenly Dao.

The War of Mortals Against Gods When ancient myths are no longer legends, but revelations of the universe's ultimate horror. In 2024, China accidentally touched a forbidden secret on the far side of the moon, awakening the "Primal Chaos" that had slept for ten millennia—a group of immortal "Ancient Gods" who manipulate the laws of the cosmos. Every five years, they descend upon Earth, wielding powers beyond mortal comprehension to conduct a bloody harvest. The fate of human civilization is thrust into a "War of Mortals and Gods" spanning ten thousand years. From Chang'e's tragic sacrifice to suppress the gods, to the tear-stained epic of the Great Flood and Nüwa mending the heavens, the legends passed down through generations of mortals turn out to be real imprints of resistance against the deities. Facing this divine judgment, humanity awakens from initial ignorance, internal strife, and arrogance through bloodshed. Through repeated, agonizing "Five-Year Curses," they cast aside all selfish desires, forging "Law Weapons" with their flesh and blood, using technology to wield the first sharp blade against the gods. However, this is not the end. When the "Primal Chaos" reveals new, more cunning and psychologically devastating abilities, humanity's only hope rests on a solitary ark named the "Ark of Hope." It will carry humanity's last vestiges of faith, sailing 200,000 light-years into unknown deep space, to seek the fabled "Friendly Gods" who supposedly once aided humanity. This is an epic about sacrifice, unity, technology, and faith. With each passing "Five-Year Curse" countdown, can mortals defy fate, secure a glimmer of hope for civilization, and perhaps even bring a definitive end to this ten-thousand-year destiny?

Yeon-Jun is a dedicated barista at a quaint cafe operated by Sung-Hoon Cha, the son of the man who once saved Yeon-Jun's life. He grapples with selective mutism, a condition that emerged after the traumatic experience of witnessing his parents' tragic death. Although the details of his past have faded from his memory, his body retains the imprint of those painful events. It was during this darkest chapter of his life that Sung-Hoon's father discovered him alone and heartbroken, offering him shelter and a semblance of safety. Despite never having envisioned a future as a barista, Yeon-Jun made a solemn promise to Sung-Hoon's father on his deathbed—to forever stand by his side. This vow compelled Yeon-Jun to forsake his own aspirations and instead pursue a life marked by unrelenting work and perpetual anxiety. Conversely, Woo-San Kim is the affluent CEO of K&L Entertainment, a company steeped in legacy as he belongs to an illustrious lineage of chaebols, being an eighth-generation heir poised to inherit substantial assets from his grandfather. Like Yeon-Jun, Woo-San has also faced the grief of losing both parents to illness, which has led to a strained relationship with his controlling grandfather. The elder Kim holds steadfast to his authority, adamantly refusing to relinquish the company, opting instead to orchestrate a competition among Woo-San, his half-brother, and his cousin for the right to inherit the family fortune. Throughout his childhood, Woo-San has been accompanied by Hee-Jun Go, a devoted friend and secretary who was rescued by Woo-San's father. Hee-Jun, having been separated from his own family at a young age, appreciates the depth of loyalty and friendship. In a heartfelt gesture, Woo-San offers to help Hee-Jun locate his long-lost brother, during which he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Yeon-Jun at the café, captivated by the quiet strength and resilience hidden beneath Yeon-Jun's struggles. However, when Woo-San’s grandfather learns of his burgeoning feelings for Yeon-Jun, he delivers a menacing ultimatum: marry someone of his grandfather's choosing or face disinheritance. Feeling cornered with little left to lose, Woo-San contemplates capitulating to the marriage arrangement, all the while suspecting that his grandfather is orchestrating a more sinister plot that preys on Woo-San's unresolved trauma, compelling him to wrestle for his inheritance. As tensions rise within this power dynamic, Woo-San feels an undeniable connection to Yeon-Jun, yet finds that Yeon-Jun’s condition renders him unable to express his own feelings. Desperate to flee the confines of the forced marriage, Woo-San resolves to turn his grandfather's manipulative tactics against him. In this quest for autonomy, he uncovers unsettling truths that extend far beyond his own life, jeopardizing not only his future but also deeply affecting Hee-Jun, Sung-Hoon, and even his grandfather himself. Faced with this newfound knowledge—one he wishes he could unlearn—Woo-San must grapple with difficult decisions. Will he risk exposing his own vulnerabilities to protect Yeon-Jun? Will he succumb to his grandfather’s wishes to secure his inheritance, or will he forge a path driven by empathy and commitment to those who have become family to him? The weight of these revelations threatens to alter the course of their lives forever. Author's Note: I apologize if this gets a delayed update. My country decided to randomly go to war this Tuesday and I live near the border. So, yeah.
