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 stepped inside the bunker room with mixed feelings, with the steel cots lined on both walls, and mattresses rolled up. The room of his squad he had been assigned to in recent years lay empty and cold. He gave a hollow laugh as he reached for the light. It slowly flickered as the fluorescent tube struggled to come to life once more.

"Feeling nostalgic?" Nathan laughed as he entered the room behind the Guide. Penn gave a small smile as he stepped away from the door and walked toward his old bed. He felt a tinge of emptiness in his chest as he untied the bundled mattress, flattening it for later. Nathan followed suit with the bed beside him.

"I don't think I've ever been asked to stay in such a dump," Yoonseul commented as he entered the bunker room. He looked around in disgust before taking the be across from Penn, also closest to the door.
