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.

Penn was starting to wonder why every single moment of his existence at Nathan's side resulted in a life-or-death scenario. Or the fact that he, a Sargent with almost ten years in the military, had to consistently get piggyback rides from a man who looked like a labradoodle. He was wondering if his shame threshold was even normal at this point.

Especially since right now, he was benignly whipped around as if he had climbed on top of a figure skater who was trying to shake him off. He was glad no one was there to witness such a humiliating situation. Tears formed in the corner of his eyes, though he wasn't sure if it was from the cold or the thought of being seen like this.

"Nathan," Penn called from the Esper's shoulders. "Can we not spin so much? I don't want to puke on you."
