Chu Liang wished to enter the Immortal Realm, but was told that his "Spiritual Root" was inferior, and he was not qualified.

He had no choice but to give up and continue cultivating in the mortal world.

…

Many years later, countless immortals descended, bringing calamities, disrupting the human world, and harvesting the Grand Human Path Pill.

At the critical moment, Chu Liang took action.

Immortals fell, like rain.

"You… are you that mortal with the inferior Spiritual Root from back then?"

The Son of Light Saint who was betrayed by the Bishop of Light

— He’s right!

He is the sage who guides people forward, the signpost standing before the people, my faith, my everything!

He is not a god, yet he far transcends gods.

Su Li saved an injured mute bird. As birds sang outside the window, he told the bird: “The reason people like things that make beautiful sounds is only because they happen to understand that sound. Because of ignorance, there is no sin.”

The Level 9 demon beast Raven, severely injured by the Mercenary Association:

— All people are ignorant and foolish, thinking that ravens represent evil, even labeling me as a natural disaster. I hate humans the most, but he is the exception.

If the world is what he wants, I too will aspire towards it.

Shen Xuanqing was nibbling on the cakes expressionlessly in the mountains, but in his heart he was thinking that the little fulang was good and diligent. He looked good when he smiled, but he was too thin. <<less

Also, the background and settings in the work are all fictional, and we clarify that regions, people, organizations, and other company names have no relation to reality.

Lee Eunseok became an orphan after losing his family to the ‘Gate’ incident that occurred 20 years ago. Though he dreamed of awakening as an Esper to take revenge on the monsters, he reached adulthood without awakening. Among the limited choices given to orphans, he chose to join the military.

After working diligently in the field, he was considered a promising candidate for the next team leader position in the Intelligence Command. However, during a mandatory health examination, he is identified as an S-class Guide.

“Mr. Lee Eunseok, as you have awakened as a Guide during your health examination, you will be reassigned to the Bureau of Ability Management.”

“Who decided this?”

“We are not here to ask for permission, but to inform you.”

Moreover, under the Guide Protection Act, Guides are not allowed to enter Gates. While Eunseok, who had been a field special agent, contemplates his desire to enter Gates, Choi Hanseo, an S-class Esper and guild master of White Tiger, approaches him.

“Do you have the courage to enter Gates with me?”

Eunseok begins his life as a Guide after contracting with Choi Hanseo on the condition of participating in Gate raids. However, he finds himself increasingly bothered by S-class Hunter Choi Hanseo’s subtle yet obvious advances…

“We seem to need more efficient guiding. For instance…”

Choi Hanseo trails off, raising his free hand to meaningfully brush his thumb across Eunseok’s lower lip. <<less

One day, he encounters a crystalline shard that appears to belong to the bizarre.

A shimmering crystal lodged in someone’s chest. Taeseong wasn’t sure why he could suddenly see such things, but one thing was certain—he had to remove it.

And then… he had to swallow it.

Taeseong pried the crystal from the boy’s chest and brought it to his own mouth.
