Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz.

What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him?

[Preview]
For some unknown reason, Delroz firmly believed that the guide who saved him was a woman. His conviction was so strong that he didn’t doubt it even with the person in question right in front of him.

Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party.

“I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.”

“Hmm…”

At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again.

“I heard it’s a woman with long hair.”

“That’s right.”

A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked.

“I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?”

“She was beautiful.”

“What?”

Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears.

“She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.” <<less

Because Ki Sihyeon is the only adult I don’t have to tiptoe around. I don’t have to be careful with him. He treats me like a kid—annoying, but he’s not afraid of me. He’s not weak.... more>>

Seonwoo, a mental-type S-Class Esper raised under strict surveillance and control at the Center, was trained to suppress all emotion. Even when other Espers hurled insults or lashed out violently, he never once retaliated. He simply followed orders.

I’m the one you’ll later stab through the side with your dagger.

"That's... my pet... octopus!"... more>>

Cha Suyoon, a D-rank Guide barely scraping by on one-time Guiding sessions, receives a Guiding request from Yeo Taegyung, the S-rank Esper known throughout the nation. During the Guiding, Suyoon discovers that Taegyung is not human. Upon waking, Taegyung transforms into a strange, small octopus-like creature and disappears. Suddenly facing the threat of unemployment, a despairing Suyoon visits a seafood restaurant where he coincidentally finds Taegyung, now an octopus, in a tank. Left with no other choice, Suyoon rescues him and brings him home...

[Preview]

"I apologize for what happened today. I'm also sorry for yelling, cursing, and hitting your forehead."

Yeo Taegyung crossed his arms, or rather, two of his tent**les, as if challenging me to say more. I didn't even know that was possible.

"But if it weren't for me, Esper Yeo Taegyung, you would've been sold off as sashimi! Or sushi... Ow!"

An enraged Yeo Taegyung flung a magnet at my face. I yelped in surprise, and Yeo Taegyung flinched slightly, then peeked out from his water tank, cautiously watching me.

I sighed and checked the magnet Yeo Taegyung had thrown. Incredibly, it was shaped like the Korean character 'ㅗ' (a rude hand gesture).

Is he... flipping me off right now?

"You can't throw this at people!"

"Chirp."

"It hurts! Seriously, it hurt so much during the Guiding too. If it weren't for Researcher Ryu Gyungae, I would've ended up in the ER."

I exaggerated my suffering to Yeo Taegyung. But he just kept blowing black bubbles, as if asking, "So what?"

Seriously, the attitudes of Espers who didn't get proper Guiding... Every single one of them was obsessed with their pride.

My stomach churned, but I tried to think rationally. I told myself to treat him like a difficult customer.

"Anyway, since I'm partly responsible for what happened to you, Esper Yeo Taegyung, I'll take responsibility and help you return to your original form. Just tell me how..."

I trailed off, watching Yeo Taegyung's tent**les ripple as he moved. Rolling his yellow and black eyes mischievously, he busily arranged the Korean alphabet magnets.

The moment I saw the word he formed, I winced.

[Hate] [You]

"......."

Yeo Taegyung picked up a few more letters and placed them to the left. Then he completely retreated into his water tank, disappearing from sight. The letters on the floor were infuriating.

[I] [Hate] [Talking] [To] [You]

Well, excuse me for trying to help! <<less

“Promise me. Promise you’ll come back to me, Healer-nim. Even if you’re going to die, promise you’ll die by my side.”... more>>

I woke up to find myself inside the hunter novel I’d been reading.

Worse yet, I’ve become Ryu Leesoo, a terminally ill supporting character who dies early on due to illness.

Since I’m destined to die anyway, I decide to dedicate this life to saving Yoo Haeon, the protagonist who’s set to die of mu*der just a few months later.

Thus begins my plan to save Haeon. But the closer I get to him, the more my feelings for my favorite character start to grow in unexpected directions…

---

“Yes, it’s true. I’m that necromancer. I’m not bragging, but I’m telling you this because it means I’ll protect Healer Haeon no matter what.”

Leesoo, turning around me with a playful swirl, whispered in a voice brimming with laughter while gently stroking the spirit. Haeon was about to retort that he wasn't worried, but he just clamped his mouth shut.

He was used to dealing with those who threatened not to keep their word, but he had no idea what to do with someone who promised to protect him with a warm smile.

Lee Soo, who had been looking at Haeon with curiosity, soon remembered that it wasn't the first time his favorite had suddenly gone silent and withdrew his attention. He glanced at the hunters fighting hard, then stepped back, sitting down with a thud, and laid out a handkerchief for Haeon to sit on.

Of course, Haeon lightly ignored the handkerchief that Lee Soo had laid out and stood beside him, looking at Lee Soo with a complex, subtle gaze.

Receiving Haeon's gaze calmly, Lee Soo smiled gently and spread out his hand as if to say, "Follow me."

Haeon, with a mix of confusion and suspicion, slowly extended his hand. With a gesture as if praising him, Lee Soo dropped a plastic bag full of snacks onto Haeon's pale palm.

“It’s a bribe. From now on, even if I get a tiny scratch, I’m going to come running to you, whining about how hurt I am and begging you to heal me. This is my way of saying, please look upon me kindly.”

Haeon, reading the sincerity in Leesoo's playful words, opened his mouth as if to say something but then quickly turned his head away, sitting lightly on the handkerchief that Leesoo had laid out.

Leesoo, as if to say that was enough, smiled contentedly and blinked languidly. <<less

Zero Compatibility. ... more>>

A Guide in Name Only—Practically an Ordinary Person.

As an F-Guide with almost no chance of matching with an Esper, Ben had always believed he could continue living his uneventful, unremarkable life.

Until he met that man.

"Found you. My Guide."

The sudden appearance of Haimar, a monstrous Esper who boldly declared Ben as his Guide, shattered everything Ben thought he knew.

With him came a shocking revelation about Ben’s own rank—one that turned his quiet life upside down.

Swept into an unrelenting series of events, the two are drawn together, their bodies and hearts inching ever closer...

* * *

Physical contact between two complete strangers—how was that even possible?

At least within Ben’s understanding of common sense, it wasn’t.

“Uh, I still don’t even know if I’m really your Guide…”

Zing.

The sharp blue eyes staring into his made his headache flare up again, as if it had only been momentarily subdued.

Still, it wasn’t as bad as back in the container, so Ben chose to buy time by voicing his honest uncertainty.

After all, the one most affected by this connection was the Esper.

Guides, strictly speaking, could live perfectly fine without an Esper.

Even if he outright refused, what could the other guy really say?

"Want to check?"

Wait—hold on.

Why was he coming closer?!

Before Ben could react, Haimar, with a face annoyingly sculpted to perfection, took Ben’s hand and placed it against his cheek.

Smooth, flawless skin brushed against his palm.

And before he could pull away, his fingers grazed something even warmer—Haimar’s lips.

The contrast between his cool skin and the heat of his breath sent an odd shiver down Ben’s spine.

He instinctively tried to twist his hand away, but his fingers, caught in an iron grip, instead trailed across the Esper’s ear.

That’s when he noticed them—three thick, metallic piercings: a rugged hoop and two circular studs.

Those weren’t just accessories.

They were control devices, temporary stabilizers used by high-ranking Espers when their abilities became unstable or when they required emotional regulation.

But having three at once?

Ben froze.

His stunned expression didn’t go unnoticed.

Haimar, still holding his hand, intertwined their fingers with an easy familiarity, his long fingers wrapping around Ben’s.

"If I hold you," he murmured, voice low and dangerous, "I think we’ll both find out for sure." <<less
