Zein was a rogue Guide living in the god-forsaken land of the red-zone, guiding for money and survival. Until the guild he used to work with caused a tragedy. Driven by sorrow and guilt, Zein became a mercenary guide in the land bordering the forbidden Deathzone, working like a suicidal monk. One day, an overbearing Esper suddenly appeared and told him, “If you’re so hellbent to die, why don’t you come with me to the Deathzone?”

A strange proposition, a nostalgic smirk. Had Zein actually met him before? 

Following the man into the deadly zone, will Zein find the respite he seeks, or will he get engulfed in a storm?

But there’s no such thing as love in the deathzone...is it?

The story is set in a sentinel-verse, so there will be:
- Sentinel (Esper) and Guide
- Dungeon!
- Romance
- Action
- …smut? ;) 

It’s a (kinda) love story wrapped in dungeon system shenanigans, with abilities and action and whatnot

There’s No Love In the Deathzone (BL)

For a second, Zein felt his vision go dark. But he scolded himself immediately—it wasn't the time to think about himself when his daughter was there looking distressed.

He reached out to caress her cheek and asked gently. "Would you like to go to the couch and talk it out with me?"

"You..." Lucy raised her anxious face. "You believe me, Papa?"

"What are you talking about, baby?" Zein frowned. "Have I or Daddy ever not believed you?"

Just like that, the distress vanished from the girl's face, and Zein realized it wasn't the 'past life' that was troubling her--it was his reaction.

"You won't think I'm crazy right?" she asked again, and Zein couldn't help but sigh.

Would he, if he didn't know about it beforehand? At that moment, Zein felt thankful that he knew what he knew to not make his daughter unnecessarily worry. The girl had been isolated enough from girls her age--there was no need to make her feel isolated from her family too.
