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.

"It's nice to see that Penny made some younger friends. I didn't realize he had a chance to interact with college freshmen," Mark said with a smile, sliding in beside the window and letting his date have the outside seat.

"My height and face are very youthful, I know, but I am older than Penn," Daniel replied, running a hand through his permed pale-gold hair. "And it seems my face is more his type anyway."

"Ah?" Penn froze in place as he was picking up his water glass. Daniel leaned his head on the Guide's shoulder as he looked at the pair across the table.

"How do you know each other?" Mark asked with a stressed voice.

"Daniel is a Hunter at the association," Penn responded proudly. Daniel smiled at him, reading up to pat the Guide's head like his own was not long ago.
