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.

<p>Penn sighed as he spun the office chair in the boardroom of the human resources office. When he and Daniel arrived, his trainer took him to the staff office to go over a proper plan for training both his Guide and Esper skills. Seeing the effort they put in gave him some reassurance, He preferred structure and well-thought-out plans after all. </p>

<p>Hunter's Summer Holstein - the A-rank battle mage, and Silvanus Makris - the B-rank summoner, would be taking part in his training again. Daniel and Nathan would be leading the training instead of Timmy Heins, and Hunter Val Kyrie McKannon, the B-rank cleric would also be lending a hand.</p>
