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.

As Nathan had mused, the three of them were called again by Director Wake - but this time to one of the board meeting rooms. The trio decided to sit at the end of the table nearest the door for any possible quick escape. Director Wake sat at the head of the table, with Spenser standing to her right and Yoonsuel seated to her right.

The S-ranked Guide stood up, walked over to the large digital wall, and tapped on it to activate it. It flashed on, and a presentation was already displayed. The first slide was a graph that made everyone narrow their eyes as they reread it.

"I don't think I need to explain what you are looking at," Yoonsuel started, sweeping his eyes across the present group. "There has been a steep rise in higher-ranked gates - with quite a few S-ranked event dungeons appearing across the world."
