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.

"Determined to do what?" Nathan replied, voice still filled with annoyance from the interruption.

"To land kills, get experience, and level up. I'm not missing my chance this time!" Penn replied with determination. Nathan smirked, patting the shins he had locked in his palms around his waist.

"Make your trainer proud," the Esper responded, a wickedly mischievous smile spreading across his face. Penn nodded, though he didn't agree with the point of making Nathan proud - but he wasn't going to waste the opportunity itself. As he took aim, he paused - there was nothing to aim at. "Nathan?"

"I know," Nathan replied, as he slowly did a three-sixty of the area in search of the monsters. Not a single Yeti appeared.
