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.

"When they are in pairs, it's a scouting party for the chief," Nathan stated from close by. "These buggers are more nimble than they look. If one gets away, we'll have a larger mess on our hands."

"On it!" Summer rang out, dashing forward as her hands glowed blue from her mana. She fired off concentrated balls of magic at the two unsuspecting orcs as she continued to rush them on foot. She reinforced her hands with mana as the Esoer got close enough to land a few quick blows on the first one. The other orc was receiving a barrage of Force spikes, firing it endlessly.
