No one could easily open their mouth. The sound of sand-laden winds sweeping over the desolate ruins was deafening. Technically, people still lived in the outskirts of Earth’s districts—refugees who had lost their homes overnight due to monster attacks, criminals cast out from the inner zones, addicts consumed by drugs, plague victims abandoned by society, and political exiles who had dared to rebel against the government. They hid in these wastelands, barely surviving day by day. The government…-

The espers, who had been full of anticipation, turned away in disappointment, while the top brass of the military were left seething with frustration. The S-class Guide, who had suddenly fallen from grace and became a troublesome burden, was eventually sent far away to District 13, far removed from the Central District. And it was there that he showed a staggering 98.7% matching rate with an A-class esper named Renault. It was an event that no one had expected, nothing short of a miracle.…

Renault had been silently watching the scene unfold, but in the end, he sprang to his feet in haste. It seemed that Jesus was just as startled—he shot up from his seat right after Renault, causing his chair to scrape backward and crash onto the floor with a loud bang. Even though the young man was an S-class Guide and had a build superior to most Espers, he was still a Guide. That fact had made Renault subconsciously underestimate him. But the way he toyed with the Esper, lifting him as if he were…

There was only one pub within the Esper-Guide Center. District 13 was smaller in scale compared to other districts. The number of Espers and Guides stationed here was also relatively low, and the center’s facilities were poor in comparison. It was inevitable that there was only one pub. Technically, he could go outside the center, but the idea of traveling far just for a drink felt like a hassle. His plan was simple—have just one drink to calm his unsettled mind, then head up to his quarters and…

The endless war of words grew sharper. Neither Megan nor Renault was willing to back down, both stubbornly insisting on their stance—as always. "Stop nagging about useless things." "I'm saying this because I'm worried about you. You know just as well as I do that Espers can't properly utilize their abilities without a dedicated Guide. That's why everyone is desperately trying to secure one. So why are you like this? Do you really not understand that this could cause problems for your…

“What?” Renault furrowed his brows, openly expressing his displeasure, but the young man merely curled up the corners of his lips. His gaze remained fixed on Renault, unwavering. His blue eyes, brimming with curiosity, sparkled as if they were precious gemstones. “I must’ve misheard just now.” The bastard looked no older than his early twenties. And yet, the words that had just left his lips were impossible to believe, especially considering they were directed at someone…

<Year 20XX – District 13> A dungeon that children under the age of ten had entered suddenly transformed into an S-class dungeon. The mere fact that an S-class dungeon had appeared after several years was enough to send chills down one's spine, but to make matters worse, children were inside. It was only natural for the military command to be thrown into chaos. "Block the reporters immediately! Set up barricades, and don’t let a single person near the area! If word gets out that…

Chapter 11 "What's wrong?" "Did you eat yesterday?" "Well, yeah. I did." "When?" "In between." They had practically spent the entire day together, so there was no way he had any time to eat. And it didn’t seem likely that he had snuck in a meal late at night, either. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Louis could tell that Eddie had no motivation to take care of himself. Maybe it was a habit ingrained in him as an assassin, but if he was a living person, there…-

Chapter 10 “Puwaht!” Two soaked heads abruptly emerged through the bubbling surface. Without needing to signal each other, both shook their heads vigorously to rid themselves of the excess water. Eddie, who had already climbed out of the tub, rubbed his sore jaw before retrieving a basket filled with shampoo and soap. “…Where are you?” By then, Louis seemed to have calmed down a little. Still, he lowered his shoulders and began searching the water with his hands. “Eddie?…

Chapter 9 As the old monitor flickered to life, the date and year displayed at the bottom of the screen caught his eye. After doing the math, he realized—he was eighteen. At this time, he had already grown utterly tired of his brother’s violence, careful never to do anything that might provoke him. He had lived every day holding his breath. Even when he ran away from home, he would always be dragged back before long. And yet, why did this all feel so familiar? “The readers must be…
