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.

He bent down to take a peak through the window out of curiosity and nodded to himself with a slight smirk when he got his answer. The car seat was pulled up to its maximum closeness to the steering wheel, with a cushion placed on the seat - probably to boost his height.

"Don't look," Daniel threw himself against the window to block the view, face flushed. Penn's shoulders shook as he suppressed his laugh. Daniel coughed, still blocking the view into the car. "I was thinking of grabbing some coffee before you came down."

"Ah," Penn replied, glancing at the cafe behind the car. He frowned. "
