In a world where the supernatural collides with the ordinary, dungeons—dangerous rifts to other realms—begin appearing across the city, threatening humanity. The Hunter Association, tasked with sealing these rifts, relies on Guides who are psychically linked to Hunters with extraordinary powers.

A former soldier, becomes a newly awakened Guide at 27, struggling to adapt to his role. Paired with an S-ranked Hunter, a reckless veteran esper, he faces the daunting challenge of navigating deadly dungeons filled with nightmarish creatures. Their partnership is strained—A disciplined and methodical solider, and an esper who's impulsive and dismissive of rules.

As dungeons appear more frequently, each mission tests their limits and teamwork. While the Guide adjusts to his new life and role, the esper wrestles with his haunted past and growing responsibilities. Together, they uncover a disturbing pattern behind the dungeon outbreaks, suggesting a larger, sinister plot at play.

Amid the chaos, the guide grapples with losing his former life and his growing attachment to his esper, while the looming danger threatens to push them—and their fragile trust—apart. Every decision they make could determine the city's fate, or possibly the entire world.

NOTE: This is a slow-burn light-romance BL. It means there are no mature or sexual themes, and it focuses on action, plot, character growth, and relationships between characters and their adversaries.

Dogmatic Dungeon Dominion

T/W: Foul Language

Penn didn't react fast enough as his body flew backward. Air escaped his lungs from surprise at being whipped away from his only lifeline. Confusion set in as his body soared through the air, watching as Nathan's form got further and further away from him, smirk still plastered to that smug, puppy-lie face.

The soldier had no weapons equipped. No climbing gear on his person. No Force skills obtained to be of use. He was nothing more than dead weight to be tossed aside when he was no longer useful.

Penn's body collided with the mountainscape, causing him to hiss at the pure force he had landed against it with. It was only after a moment that he had to catch his breath that he realized he wasn't falling to his death.
