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.

Dogmatic Dungeon Dominion

Penn tore his eyes away from Yoonseul's gaze and toward the Hunters who were fighting the plant adverna. If that's what you could call it. Their movements were erratic to the point it was as if their opponents were slowly switching from the monsters to each other. How? They were A to S-ranked Hunters with skills that should block things like this.

A giggle came from behind, and Penn looked back at Yoonseul, whose eyes glowed silver as he smiled proudly. Was the S-ranked Guide also affected, or was it something else that involved him? Was there something changing the aspects of the gates again?

"Do you wanna know what they each see?" Yoonseul asked Penn, the glowing silver orbs meeting his forest green eyes. He didn't respond, but the S-ranked Guide snickered in response. "I can see it. The hallucinations each one is suffering from. I can tell you."
