Three minutes before losing his life, Baek Hee-ji narrowly survived by using his latent power as a Time Esper.

Now, all that remained was to try living again.

‘This pathetic s*ave-to-love instinct… I am going to rip it out by the roots and find my freedom.’

He had literally risked his life for the man he loved, Kang Hyun-mook. Now, he intended to forget that toxic love, escape the man’s orbit, and enjoy his hard-won freedom.

To that end, he insisted he had total amnesia, but then…

“A Guide…? Me…?”

He had lost every one of his Esper powers only to re-awaken as a Guide?!

To make matters worse, upon discovering the truth, Kang Hyun-mook began to cling to him with a persistence that bordered on a nuisance.

“…..I’ve already registered you with the Guide Association, so sleep here tonight and join the team dorms from tomorrow.”

“Who the hell said you could register me—”

“I’m the one putting up with your nonsense. Amnesia? If you’re going to play games, at least do it properly. It’s so pathetic I can’t even be bothered to speak to you.”

Hyun-mook looked at Hee-ji with utter disdain and then turned his back.

Left alone in an instant, Hee-ji scowled.

‘I was acting perfectly. How did he know, the bloody wizard?’

Read If:

You want to see a lead who used to be cold and dismissive slowly fall for and eventually regret his treatment of the protagonist.

Highlight quote:

“I don’t care. I’ve had Officer Baek do similar things to me plenty of times.”

I searched for a long time for a guideverse novel that would perfectly match what I was looking for, and this one was everything and more.

There aren't many chapters yet, so it's still difficult to judge, but in my opinion, the best thing about this novel is the main character. He's hilarious, doesn't let anything slide, is extremely dramatic, and very competent, ... more>>

both as an esper in his past and now as a guide.

[collapse]
He's made a lot of mistakes in the past and isn't a good person, though he's not bad either, which makes him refreshing.

He doesn't care about other people's feelings, doesn't put himself second, while also not acting like a complete jerk or idiot. I especially liked that his behavior was directly linked to his environment on several occasions; not to justify, "He's a bit*h and that's acknowledged by everyone around there." But just like, "Yes, he's a bit*h and that's why." That's it. To add to that, besides having his bad deeds acknowledged, he's getting karma that was 1000% deserved.

Spoiler

What's more, the vulnerability of no longer being an esper was a real gut-buster!

[collapse]
You can feel his desire to change and move forward, to leave his past behind. The ML was interesting ig, but we didn't see much of it, so he didn't really have a significant impact on me.

Anyway, it's a very easy read and was honestly very interesting. <<less
