“Haa…!” A shock slammed through his entire body. Seo Jiho jolted upright with a dry cough, gasping for breath. Thud When he propped himself up beside his hip, something rolled away at his fingertips. Only then did Seo Jiho take in his surroundings. ‘W-where… is this?’ The bed beneath him was a mess of wrinkled sheets. Medicine bottles and empty liquor containers were scattered all around. Crumpled tissues and bits of trash, purpose unknown, were strewn across the floor. And on…-

“It’s been a while, child.” “…God. It’s you, isn’t it?” “Yes. As expected, you recognized me right away. I knew you would.” The god let out a calm laugh. It was the first time anyone had ever heard the god’s voice, and everyone froze on the spot. Perhaps it wasn’t just the voice, but the overwhelming pressure radiating from Hayan’s body that had paralyzed them. Regardless, the god crossed his legs and sat on the sofa as if none of that mattered. “The reason I’ve…

He used the money he had earned from working as a Guide to nurse Dojin. Not once did he feel that it was a waste, or that taking care of Dojin was too hard.There were even people who came by now and then to look after him in return. “Jiho-ya, isn’t it hard? Oh dear… You’re going through so much because of that…

Inside a spotless dressing room with not a single thing out of place, Jiho was busy getting ready to go out. “Hm…” He wore a navy sweatshirt and jeans, layered with a black coat. Out of habit, he reached for his scarf, but when he saw the sun shining outside the window, he set it down again. ‘If I wear that too, it’ll be too hot.’ It was already spring outside. The cold snap hadn’t entirely passed, but it wasn’t chilly enough to be bundled up in a scarf. Jiho lightly patted…

“Dojin hyung.” “Ah…” “It’s okay. It’s okay.” “Gasp. Uh, ugh…” “It’s okay.” Warm yet cold energy surged through the skin where they touched. It felt like vitality was returning to Dojin’s parched, withered body. ‘More, give me more. It’s not enough. More…’ I want to eat you. As if possessed, Dojin lowered his upper body. The prey beneath him seemed to know where his face would go and guided him toward it. Dojin’s lips touched the soft…

“…Huh?” “Guide Jiho!” Everyone cried out in alarm and tried to hold Jiho back. But Jiho looked around at the people restraining him and spoke clearly. “I was taught that guiding can soothe an esper in a overload state.” “But that only works if you can approach them! If you go in now, you’ll be swept up in it and die without a trace!” “No!” Jiho’s eyes shone. “If it’s radiant guiding, it’ll work!” “…!” “I just need to get as close as…

Jiho, unaware of Dojin’s plan, remained at the safe zone as requested, focusing on radiant guiding. As he concentrated, pink-hued energy began to flow from his body. It was such a striking sight that the guides nearby could only stare blankly at Jiho for a moment. “Ah! That’s right, guiding!” “Oh…!” Snapping out of it, they hurriedly resumed guiding. From a distance, it hadn’t been clear, but up close, the reality of how badly the battle was going hit hard. That’s all…

Grrrrraaaah! The monster, enraged at being interrupted mid-feast, let out a furious roar. At first, the humans’ interference had been merely annoying, but now it was starting to genuinely infuriate it. As the monster grew more violent in its resistance, it was the humans who began to shed blood. “Aaaagh!” “Just a little longer!” “Hold the line, hold–!” The espers were being torn apart, quite literally. Bodies were strewn all over the ground at their feet. Most were…

Kwak Jiheon, who had been assisting the escort team near the safe zone, came looking for Dojin after hearing his radio transmission. In front of everyone who had gathered around him and Jiheon, Dojin explained the weakness of the monster he had seen. “I saw its core. It was located deep in its throat, near the esophagus.” He pointed to a spot on his neck. It was a place that couldn’t be seen unless the creature’s jaw was completely blown off, just like before. The monster’s body was…

Boom! Bang! Groooaaaar Explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by the monster’s eardrum-shattering howls. Between them, the growls of other monsters and the desperate cries of the espers fighting to hold them back all mixed together in a chaotic mess. ‘What is going on…?’ Jiho watched the situation unfold with bated breath alongside the other guides. Thankfully, just when the safe zone had been half-destroyed and monsters began pouring in, Yulchan had appeared and…
