Run Away, My Name

by YeoGok

#Name-verse: The "Name-verse" is a fictional world concept where people are born with the name of their destined soulmate written on their body. For example, if A and B are meant to be together, A's body will have B's name inscribed on it, and B's body will have A's name inscribed on it. In a world where everyone is born with their mate's name inscribed on their body, S-rank hunter Seo Ijun faces a deadly countdown. With only seven days left before his abilities expire, he must find and complete the imprinting ritual with his destined mate, Ha Eunjae, or face death. When Ijun finally encounters Eunjae—a powerful SSS-rank unaffiliated hunter with white hair and blue eyes—during a life-threatening moment in a dungeon, he immediately recognizes him as his fated partner. Eunjae agrees to the imprinting ritual but sets one firm condition: they must go their separate ways afterward. Their arrangement becomes complicated when a disturbing pattern emerges—S-rank hunters' mates are being targeted in what appears to be guild ranking disputes. As Eunjae's past trauma of losing someone in a dungeon resurfaces, his anxiety grows. The situation intensifies when guild DIA, the prime suspect in these incidents, approaches him with an ultimatum: join them or they'll harm Ijun. Despite insisting on keeping their relationship purely transactional, Eunjae finds himself increasingly concerned for Ijun's safety. Meanwhile, Ijun reminds him of their unbreakable bond: "As long as my name is engraved on you, whether you like it or not, we can never be apart."
