The wanderer picked up a bloody imperial colonel on the garbage planet and asked for a sky-high medical fee.... more>>

When he found out that the other party was Chu Qi, the flower of the military, his eyes instantly turned into star coins - this is not a person, but a walking ATM machine!

The bad thing is that he was photographed on the way back to the main planet: the ragged beautiful boy curled up beside the medical cabin, crying and shouting no.

The next day, the hot search exploded:

#Shock! Colonel Chu secretly hides a beautiful boy#

#Child bride picked up from the battlefield#

#Love story on the garbage planet#

The spectators were heartbroken: "He is still a child!"

and "It smells so good".

The "child" who was actually 600 years old was lying on Chu Qi's bed and laughing, and the optical brain was playing the teaching video "How to Legally Inherit the Property of Strangers" in a loop.

After a busy day, Chu Qi returned home, and the next second he was pushed against the door, and the other party's smile became more and more proud.

"Sir, have you tried pinching and kissing?"

Chu Qi chuckled, not at all surprised by Xiangli's question. He met Xiangli's smiling eyes with his voice dry.

"No."

"Try?"

"..."

A few seconds later, the colonel couldn't help but burst out in the quiet room: "Hiss... Damn, you really pinch!"

"..."

This man said he wanted to kiss, but in fact, those kisses kept falling around his ears.

It was like the other party's usual trick - hanging him for fun.

"Damn it, get down." Chu Qi gritted his teeth.

"Kiss me."

Xiangli said a little bit viciously: "Beg me."

The colonel didn't feel any burden about this. Although he was in a low position, his eyes were full of aggression when he stared at Xiangli.

He said slowly: "Please."

Later, the Empire Headline:

#Chu Shangzuo's fugitive with a huge reward actually became his spouse#

The spectators looked at the wanted order and the marriage certificate side by side and searched, and slowly typed: [You tactical command department is really playing big.jpg]

“What kind of ability is that, exactly? It’s no fun if you run.”... more>>

A ruined 21st-century Seoul, devastated by the emergence of mysterious entities known only as “Disasters.”

In this world, anyone with the power to resist these creatures is bound by law to serve the state and be deployed to suppress disaster outbreaks.

Seong ji-ha works as a janitor cleaning up after disasters, concealing his true abilities. One day, while at a disaster site, he discovers Yoo Sung-woo, an S-rank Disaster Hunter, collapsed after fighting a massive serpent-shaped disaster. With no other choice, Ji-ha uses his hidden power to save Yoo Sung-woo’s life—and promptly runs away.

However, because of the side effects from Ji-ha’s ability, a strange energy takes root within Yoo Sung-woo’s body. Desperate to rid himself of it, Yoo Sung-woo begins hunting down Seong ji-ha with relentless determination. In the end, Ji-ha, backed into a corner, agrees to stay by Yoo Sung-woo’s side until the side effects are resolved.

To keep Ji-ha close, Yoo Sung-woo forcibly appoints him as his “Stabilizer Unit” partner—a position meant to assist Disaster Hunters. But in truth, the role of a Stabilizer is far more intimate and secretive than Ji-ha imagined, involving physical contact to support the hunter’s recovery.

Confused by the envy and rumors whispered among agency staff, Ji-ha keeps searching for a way to escape Yoo Sung-woo’s grasp. But as a strange pattern begins to emerge among the increasingly frequent disasters, Ji-ha finds himself drawn ever deeper into the mystery—and into Yoo Sung-woo’s world… <<less

The Devil of the North, the cruel cold-blooded man and the dog of the Crown Prince—Grand Duke Sjoerd Brosius. He spared no means or methods if it meant killing the monsters that threatened the kingdom.... more>>

However, Sjoerd, known for his cruel methods but incomparable abilities, ended up harming countless people during a sudden rampage in a battle against monsters. Consequently, he met his death at the hands of Prince Reuschers, the Crown Prince's rival and the strongest Guide.

"There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world."

At the brink of death, Sjoerd reflects on his life. Even the kind-hearted prince—who was liked by everyone—despised him. And his Guide, the Crown Prince, regretted everything and abandoned him in his final moments.

Sjoerd wakes up five years in the past.

Doubting this unbelievable reality, Sjoerd seeks a different life to prevent his rampage. He approached Reuschers, who had yet to awaken his power, and tried to talk to him, but then.

"Why are you acting like this towards me? Aren’t you supposed to hate and disregard me?”

He starts to realize things he never knew in his past life... <<less

S-rank Esper Yeo Eundo went on a rampage, turning his surroundings into utter chaos.... more>>

As a guide, I watched from a distance, merely a spectator—until Yeo Eundo, in his berserk state, ended up reverse-guiding me. A normal low-ranked guide would have died instantly…

“Come here.”

There was no need to treat this beast like a person.

My guiding rank was L. <<less

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers.... more>>

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

Top (Gong):... more>>

Seo Won (33)

A cold-type S-Class Esper who uses ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception), veiled in ominous black energy. His mastery over ice is so advanced he can even create autonomous duplicates of himself.

CEO of Prism BioBattery and the last remaining mixed-blood heir of the Kangsan Group.

He was once doomed to die young due to his genetics, but survived after receiving a heart transplant from a perfectly matched S-Class Esper.

However, that heart already bore someone else's Imprint.

To survive, he must track down the Guide who etched that Imprint—bind them to his side, no matter what it takes.

***

Bottom (Soo):

Cha Han-gyeom (28)

A rare Guide who uses GP (Guiding Perception) to stabilize the ESP channels of others. His abilities are so atypical that he’s unclassifiable by standard grading systems.

An unregistered Guide working off the grid, making a living by selling his guidance through underground brokers.

He lost his beloved Imprinter five years ago, and now lives as a hollow shell, waiting quietly for death.

Then, one day, a man with piercing blue eyes appears before him.

But why does that man’s heart carry the Imprint he engraved long ago?

***

At an unofficial research facility created by the Association, Cha Han-gyeom was horrifically exploited. Five years ago, he escaped that place the moment he lost his Imprinter.

One day, while scraping by at the very bottom of the pit—selling his guiding ability just to survive—someone appeared before him.

Seo Won, whose entire body was veined with black streaks, on the verge of completely losing control. A man with cold blue eyes—and a heart burning like fire.

“Cha Han-gyeom.”

He spoke Han-gyeom’s name, which he hadn't even been told, as if tasting it on his tongue. With both hands planted on the desk Han-gyeom was leaning against, he leaned in close.

As the overhead light cast his shadow long and deep, it fell across Han-gyeom’s face like a dark veil.

“Don’t forget what I said earlier.”

Suddenly trapped in the man’s arms, Han-gyeom turned his head away, pretending to be unfazed, and exhaled a plume of cigarette smoke.

“What are you talking about?”

The man abruptly grabbed the hand holding the cigarette. Han-gyeom’s hand fit perfectly in that firm, commanding grip.

“I said if you want… I can do even more than that.” <<less

65 years ago, the Gate Era began.... more>>

With the emergence of Espers and Guides, individuals with extraordinary abilities, society rapidly transformed.

Amidst this chaotic shift, Siho, who lost his family and developed a severe hatred towards Espers, lives a difficult and broken life, both physically and mentally.

Then, one fateful day, Siho finds himself trapped inside a Gate at the crossroads of a choice.

His destiny takes an inevitable turn when he encounters Kang Jae-yoon, who entered the Gate seeking death.

“The true precursor to rampage is when the eyes turn red.”

“Like your eyes right now?”

At the moment of death, Siho, who awakens as a Guide, is violently assaulted by Jae-yoon, who has gone rampage.

In exchange for enduring this merciless beating, he is granted a new life.

Due to the law, Siho is forcibly bound as Jae-yoon’s Pair Guide, and soon, three of this other Espers approach him.

In a tangled web of relationships formed by choice or fate, the emotions of these five individuals become increasingly intertwined.

And as their fragile everyday lives begin to unravel, a new threat to humanity emerges– the Black Gate.

As Haebom walked along the campsite trail, reading his novel, he quite literally stepped into its world. ... more>>

And right in front of the sub male protagonist—who was about to meet his death, no less!

On top of that, he was now an S-rank Guide?

It was already absurd enough that he had fallen into the world of a novel, but awakening as an S-rank Guide?

Though momentarily flustered, Haebom quickly made up his mind—he would become the partner of Wonho, the sub male protagonist he had pitied throughout the entire story.

Of course, only until he found a way back.

But… was the sub male protagonist always this prickly?

Like a wary cat that refused to be touched, Wonho kept running away from him, dodging him at every turn.

Determined, Haebom gave chase—only to make a drunken mistake in the end…! <<less

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.... more>>

But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial princess, Caesar.

My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar’s rampage and raise him to the throne.

“I have to find Your Highness’s guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide… only to discover that I was the one and only guide?

Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”

“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Huhh?”

“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?

And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

***

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”

“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.

His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

‘Jeong Hae-il’ possessed the only character who could guide dragons, ‘Hae-il’.... more>>

It was a secret that did not appear in the novel, and I could understand that up to this point.

However, this character is the son of ‘Ga-il Trecliff Dean’, who had killed eight dragons.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

For the dragon, I have to kill my father, and for my father, I have to kill the dragon.

What am I supposed to do about this?

* * *

‘I miss my mother.’

When I saw the dragon that appeared before my eyes, I instantly thought, ‘I’m dead now.’

[It feels similar to the World Tree.]

This guy started talking about how I felt similar to the World Tree.

Wait, so does that mean I can guide this dragon with this body?

* * *

“It replaces the liquid flowing under the bark.”

“…….”

“So if we were to substitute it, it would be with blood, saliva, or tears.”

Calthus whispered softly.

“When you’re mentally ready, then we’ll try it.”

Uh… So.

Let me summarize what he just said…

‘Forcing a kiss with someone you don’t even love is cruel, so you’re saying you won’t force it?’

What kind of nonsense is that.

Do you think I’m someone who would weigh ‘the purity of your snout’ and ‘your life’?

“Open your mouth.”

If you think kissing will make you better, then just kiss me.

Why are you talking so much? <<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

This time, you will be the ones who will be horribly destroyed.... more>>

There were various modifiers for the villainess Odette Lina von Albrecht, who appeared in the 19+ corrupted reverse harem game.

A deceiver who deceived the Empire by pretending to be a purifier when she was not. A witch who committed evil deeds that were too evil to even speak of and toyed with the four male protagonists who were transcendent.

However, there was something that the players who played the game and the male protagonists who hated and pursued Odette didn't know.

"You are nothing more than a toy in our house. Since your master has decided to abandon you, you should die happily."

All of Odette's terrible evil deeds were not based on her will. However, that fact was never revealed. Because Odette, who was falsely accused, eventually met her death at the hands of the male protagonists.

It was definitely going to end like that.

"...Could it be that you have come back?"

She returned to the past. And at the moment of her death, she realized that she had been reincarnated as Oddette.

***

A second life was given, a future where she knew exactly what would happen. I was going to show the family who betrayed me a real hell and use the male protagonists who hated me as a means of revenge. But,

"Damn it. I don't know why you care."

"I want to offer you my knightly oath."

The male protagonist who hated me changed. In the meantime, I suddenly awakened as a real purifier.

'When I wanted it so badly, I wasn't given anything. Why now that I've given up on everything?'

All that matters to me is revenge. I don't like anything. Really, not anything. <<less

An A-class Esper, Renault had been living a quiet life, avoiding unnecessary attention—until the arrival of Raven, an S-class Guide. Raven, who had never recorded a matching rate above 10% with any Esper, astonishingly demonstrated a 98.7% match with Renault, becoming his dedicated Guide.... more>>

Though Renault found Raven difficult to deal with, he set out on a routine B-class monster subjugation mission, only to face an unforeseen crisis that left him gravely injured. As Renault was on verge of going berserk, Raven whispered something strange. It was then that Renault finally realized—the boy he had once saved in the past was none other than Raven, and he was far from ordinary.

***

"You really don’t remember a thing, do you?"

Raven murmured, his voice laced with curiosity. For a brief moment, Renault’s pale face went utterly blank.

"...What do you mean?"

His voice trembled slightly as he asked. It felt as if Raven had seen right through the unshakable sense of déjà vu, the creeping unease Renault himself couldn’t quite place. As if he had just heard something he wasn’t supposed to.

"See? I remember everything about you—every last detail—but you? You forgot it all. Ah, how unfair."

"What are you talking about…? Forgot?"

"I'm starting to feel a little hurt, you know? What should I do about that?"

The way he grinned while claiming to be upset made it impossible to understand him.

He forgot about this brat? That’s impossible. There was no way he wouldn’t remember someone with such a striking appearance, those jewel-like eyes impossible to forget.

So why was this brat acting so sure? And why did Renault feel this inexplicable sense of discomfort?

"Oh well. Guess I have no choice but to remind you—piece by piece, until you remember everything."

.

"Cry for me—just like back then. I'll swallow it all whole." <<less

In a world where sudden gates appeared, Espers became a national asset. Among them was Cha Jaewoo, an S-Rank Esper known as the pride of South Korea. However, there was a problem—after his awakening, he couldn't find a guide with a high matching rate. As a result, a nationwide mandatory guide test was introduced.... more>>

"Could it be... it wouldn't come to that, right...?"

"Ha... "

"Cha Jaewoo?"

Haeyul, who thought it was something that needed to be done anyway, reluctantly took the guide test and recorded an incredible match rate of 97.8% with Cha Jaewoo!

"So, what should I do? I'm just a D-Rank...!"

His partner was an S-Rank Esper who had never received proper guidance and was on the brink of going berserk. Guiding him was like going after a boss monster right after creating a character!

Haeyul considered declining, fearing that his energy would be drained, possibly leading to his death. However...

"If a guide doesn't appear for Esper Cha Jaewoo, he will eventually be executed."

"...Am I... Am I going crazy?"

He wondered who he was worrying about in such a precarious situation. But faced with the possibility that Cha Jaewoo might die without his guidance, Haeyul signed the contract with tears in his eyes.

"That... I think I did something like this this morning..."

"Just that?"

"That's my maximum..."

Afterward, Haeyul, with only a hint of mana, started living under the same roof as Cha Jaewoo and guided him once a day! <<less

The youngest son of a conglomerate's chairman has been reborn. In a strange world where Espers and Guide exist.... more>>

'But it's none of my business, and I'm just trying to be a rich unemployed man.'

Suddenly a window system with a quest appeared.

[Let's protect the peace of the country! There are Espers who need your guidance. If they run wild, South Korea will disappear without a trace. Please help us keep our country safe through guiding. Success: Survival, Failure: Death]

"No... f*ck..."

I have no choice but to do it to live.

But the moment I saw the list of Espers that the system kindly provided, my thoughts changed positively.

"They're all my type!" <<less

He regressed to the first day of confinement.... more>>

4 years ago, Kwon Jae-jin, an ordinary person, appeared as the only guide for the S-class esper Seo Eui-woo.

Seo Eui-woo kidnapped him and demanded that he be guided without consent.

"Shall we check now? I wonder if you are a guide that matches me or not."

"Hurts, it hurts, ah, ngh! Ugh...... Stop......!"

"See, you can do guiding on me......."

Seo Eui-woo's crazy behavior, which seemed ruthless at first glance, had a good reason, and after 4 years that felt like war, Jae-jin eventually understood and accepted Seo Eui-woo.

Not only that, he was taken in by Seo Eui-woo's persistent love offensive and their relationship developed romantically!

They lived happily ever after......!

......It would've been great if it had ended with such a happy ending.

One sunny day, a gate in the yard burst, and Kwon Jae-jin got caught in it. He died with his limbs torn to pieces.

BAD ENDING.

That was the story of Kwon Jae-jin's first life before returning to this point. <<less

The youngest and the first S-class guide!... more>>

I'm six years old.

I thought I was an extra, but I've awakened.

Wait a minute. Isn't that the title the original female lead had?

***

The original male protagonist, Hugo, showed signs of a rampage due to lack of guidance.

The only one who could guide him was me.

Though I was still inexperienced, I thought it would be okay since he was an S-class Esper.

That is, until Hugo collapsed from shock.

Having almost killed the precious S-class Esper, I was almost ostracized from society, so

I quietly cut off contact with Hugo and went into hiding.

Then 11 years later.

"I’ve never seen you before. Are you a transfer student?"

I reunited with Hugo at school for the first time in 11 years, and he didn't recognize me.

"Your shoelaces are untied. You still tie your knots weirdly."

Wait, hold on.

Hey, are you sure you don’t recognize me? <<less

I transmigrated as Han Raon, the villainous sub-bottom in a novel.... more>>

But due to the system’s forceful intervention, I was forced to feel jealous of the main bottom, to pathetically cling to the main top, and ultimately die acting out Han Raon’s role.

“Han Raon! Get a hold of yourself!”

As everyone coldly watched Raon dying, only Siwoo—one of the sub-tops—tried desperately to save him.

He had suffered from chronic guiding deficiency, as Raon only chased after the main top despite being fated to pair with someone.

With a heart full of remorse, Raon guides him one last time.

“…Sorry…”

“…Hyung.”

And just when it seemed like everything was over...

“The system?”

Raon is sent three years into the past due to the system’s interference.

But strangely enough, in this life, the system is quiet and nowhere to be found.

“I hope you’re not misunderstanding—I have no feelings for you, Team Leader.”

Thanks to that, he ruthlessly pushes away the arrogant and self-centered main top,

and before dying again, proposes a pairing to Yoon Siwoo, the only sub-top who once cared for him.

Luring in the wary Siwoo and guiding him goes well at first, but something feels off?

“Hyung, h-hyung… ah… it feels so good…”

“Hey, wait—!”

The leash is off on the S-rank Esper who suffered from chronic guiding deficiency—and he’s not easy to handle.

And if the system returns, Raon might have to go back to living as the villain again…

At that moment, the system window appears again before the conflicted Raon:

[Tutorial cleared! Now become a true ○◇☆ and save the world! (/^▽^)/]

It seems the system has assigned Raon a new role. <<less

Seo Jae-Yi is an S-Class Esper with the power to control fire. However, for 10 years, she hasn't been able to find a compatible Guide, leading to a terminal diagnosis.... more>>

"Let's at least achieve my dream before I die!"

With that thought, she impulsively opens a flower shop. But alas, her uncontrollable pyrokinesis leads to flowers bursting into flames and the shop catching fire. As she tearfully cleans up the piles of ashes day after day...

“This shop has a rather... enthusiastic way of greeting its customers.”

“Y-You were so handsome, I thought you were a flower and tried to water you…”

The man she accidentally drenched turns out to be her perfectly matched Guide. Not only that, but their compatibility rate is an unbelievable 93%! This man might be the key to extending her life!

But something feels strange. He’s a complete stranger, yet why does she feel this sense of longing when she looks at him?

***

"Why haven't you asked me to Guide you?"

Baek Juwon closed the distance between them, his voice husky. Jae-Yi flinched as his large hand reached out to gently caress her wound.

"I can make this disappear in an instant."

He whispered sweetly, gazing directly into her eyes.

"Let me take care of everything. Just stay still."

His voice alone was enough to paralyze her. Baek Juwon's eyes glittered dangerously as a wave of exhilarating Guiding washed over Jae-Yi, leaving her breathless. <<less

Kwon Yijae, a director of the British defense industry company "Quantum," visits Korea to oversee the confidential Project K. There, he encounters Shin Jeha, an esper who has been dying for five years due to the absence of a guide with a compatible wavelength.... more>>

“He doesn’t seem like an esper.”

With an appearance too frail and youthful to be an esper, Shin Jeha, an esper with a deathly pale complexion that looks like he could collapse at any moment, begins to fiercely pursue Kwon Yijae after a chance encounter.

“Director. I can endure it. I’ve endured all this time, no matter how much it hurt… You can do whatever you want. I’m an esper… and espers… don’t die.”

To stay with the sadistic guide, Shin Jeha enters into a contract with him.

The frequency and method of guiding are determined based on the guide’s preferences and convenience.

An utterly unjust form of contract. <<less

It’s been twenty years since “Gates,” disaster zones infested with monsters, and “Newtypes,” a new human race of psychics, appeared.... more>>

Each nation has struggled in its own way to reclaim peace. They established the Deschement Center, an international organization that manages Gates worldwide, and appointed high-ranking Newtypes as “Sentinels.”

The strongest Sentinel, without question, is the S-Class Newtype Jae Chaui (在此矣). His name means “I am here,” and like the name implies, he reigns as a timeless, invincible hero and absolute force—never aging, never injured, never fading.

Meanwhile, in the ruined corners of the world, lives Song Morae, an E-Class Guide barely surviving a life as barren as a desert. His everyday existence, filled with contempt and oppression, is poor and pale.

So when the Deschement Center offers him a job—and even claims he has been selected as an S-Class Guide, the new partner of Jae Chaui—it’s almost beyond belief.

“Is that your partner? Just died a moment ago. Time to take on a new one, right?”

From the first day they meet, Jae Chaui shatters Song Morae’s world with force and indifference.

Even physical intimacy feels hollow, and speaking is even harder—their partnership is chaos.

Yet Jae Chaui “likes” Song Morae. Even as he breaks him down, Song Morae remains an incomprehensible mystery. Jae Chaui, despite everything, can’t figure him out.

Morae’s silent mystique defies unraveling.

“Breaking is easy. Fixing isn’t.”

Unless you split open that pretty little head and peek at what’s inside. <<less

Due to trauma, the esper Ji Seo-joon refused to have a dedicated guide. He had been receiving low-quality guidings for years due to his aversion to contact with guides and repeatedly low matching rates.... more>>

In front of Seo-joon, who was on the verge of exploding from accumulated fatigue, a guide with a miraculous matching rate appeared.

【98.8%】

The protagonist with an unprecedented figure, Cha Yeon-woo, was still a high school student who hadn't even graduated yet. He was thrown into the field without undergoing training, as if they didn't care if he died.

"Uh, I'm not a kid. I took a year off, so I'm twenty years old... I hope you don't say I'm too young, even if you don't know the other reasons."

Seo-joon couldn't help but feel itchy in his chest at the innocent and dedicated appearance of the rookie guide... <<less

The only one who ever reached out to him had died—... more>>

Even though Jiho had used up all his guiding energy for him.

‘If I’d stayed by his side from the start, maybe things would’ve turned out differently…’

Drowning in regret and self-loathing, Jiho collapsed.

When he finally came to, he found himself standing in the middle of the hallway of the illegal guiding facility where he had been confined until three years ago.

“Wh-what’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

“Mm… huh…?”

“I won’t do anything you don’t like. So don’t be afraid.”
