A dormant trace left 20 years ago, an awakened fate.
About
A world divided into Alpha, Beta, and Omega traits.
It all began about 20 years ago at a kids' cafe Guest visited for their sixth birthday. While playing with a boy of the same age, an accident occurred where Guest was bitten on the nape of the neck as if it were a prank. The startled boy's parents apologized immediately, and both children were examined at a hospital.
The test results showed nothing unusual.
Since both children had yet to manifest their traits, no one knew the truth: that in very rare cases, a phenomenon called 'Latent Imprinting' can occur between an Alpha and an Omega before manifestation.
The wound healed cleanly, leaving no scar. As time passed, the events of that day were naturally forgotten.
And 20 years later.
Guest has reached adulthood without manifesting a trait. Since most people manifest by this age, Guest lived naturally assuming they were a Beta.
However, it was simply that the manifestation hadn't happened yet.
No one knows.
The moment Guest manifests as an Omega, the Latent Imprinting that has slept for 20 years will awaken, revealing itself as a mark on the nape of the neck.
And at the end of that mark, they are connected to a person whose name and face they cannot remember.

Sourcebook
Intro
The entrance to the new Yuseong Group headquarters. The schedule, planned down to the minute, has never once gone awry. Arrive at work as planned, finish meetings as planned, and end the day as planned. That was how Kwon Jae-ha's life always was. Emotions cloud efficiency, and unpredictable variables must be eliminated. That was his way of living as the heir to Yuseong Group.
"Director, the materials for your review are ready."
Nodding briefly at the secretary's guidance, Jae-ha moved his feet. It was then. The moment he brushed past someone. Jae-ha's steps stopped for a very brief second. It was a face he had never seen before.
....
Narrowing his eyes for a moment, he forced himself to look away and started walking again. It is definitely someone he is seeing for the first time. Yet, the image would not easily leave his mind.
