So it wasn’t just a rumor. Jiho’s eyes widened at the news of the Esper Director’s retirement. Dojin, though he looked a little weary, explained in his usual calm tone. “His injuries were serious. And there’s a sense of responsibility too.” “Responsibility…? But the dungeon break wasn’t anyone’s fault.” Strictly speaking, it had been God’s doing. He had involved himself in a pointless bet, staked an entire dimension on it, and then rewound time twice to try and undo his…-

The one who saved them from the monster was Baek Dojin, who had sprinted all the way there in a single breath. When he saw Jiho suddenly burst into tears, Dojin even threw his weapon aside and ran to him. “Why-why are you crying, huh? Are you hurt? Are you in pain?” “Uhh… huuuh… no… nooo…” “Then why? Huh? And why’s your guiding leaking like this? Okay, calm down first.” Dojin was flustered, helpless in the face of the guiding energy pouring uncontrollably from Jiho’s…

“Director…!” The area buzzed with unrest. The lingering shreds of darkness dispersed, and the thick scent of blood sent the monsters into a frenzy, shrieking as they charged forward. The Esper Director grimaced at the searing pain in his left arm, then let out a crooked smile. The pain was brutal, and the situation had worsened, but at least he was still alive. Though he couldn’t say for how much longer. “Hold them! Hold them back!” “Deploy the barrier!” “Director! Esper…

Would this be the color if Dojin’s red energy were mixed with a generous amount of white milk? It was a color that somehow seemed like it would smell of strawberries. Jiho pressed his lips together, not liking it, then suddenly snapped back to his senses. He had let his mind wander for just a moment, and the energy that had been flowing out of his body had nearly vanished. “Guide Jiho, don’t lose focus. You’re doing great.” “Y-yes.” “Now try projecting your energy as far as you…

Originally, the tent referred to as the temporary command center was being used to treat the wounded and to receive verbal reports on the dungeon raid. But now, all the staff who were supposed to be doing that had turned pale and were wandering outside in a daze. The Beta team members who had exited the dungeon earlier were also staring blankly at their phones or frantically calling someone with pale faces. As the Alpha team looked on in confusion, a staff member came running up, not to Dojin, but to…

Jiho’s face turned pale, and beside him, Geonwoo shot the guide a displeased glare. People farther away started murmuring and craning their necks to look. “Baek Dojin’s Pair? That S-rank guide?” “Where? Where? Is it really Baek Dojin’s Pair?” “I thought Baek Dojin went to Jeju today?” All eyes turned toward them. Those nearby who recognized Jiho sighed in relief. “So it’s true they’re short on Espers. Still, with an S-rank guide here, that’s…

The bunker was bursting at the seams with evacuees. Since it was a weekday and dungeons were appearing everywhere, even emergency personnel had been mobilized, so the number of regular staff was already high. On top of that, it was the scheduled day for the guide training seminar, so the place was swarming with guides. To make matters worse, reporters there to cover the press conference and outside visitors had all flocked into the bunker. With all kinds of people mixed together, the bunker…

In just a short moment, the Guide Director’s face looked exhausted. If the espers refused to obey his orders here, it seemed he no longer had the power to stop them. Perhaps he was already thinking the espers might ignore his words and charge into the dungeon. It certainly looked that way, he stepped aside slightly, glancing around at the espers at the front as if asking what they were going to do now. Now, the espers could enter the dungeon at any moment, stepping past the Guide Director. It…

“What… what is all this…?” Geonwoo couldn’t finish his sentence, frozen in shock. In front of the buildings marked Guide Wing and Esper Wing, fragments of the collapsed bridge lay scattered, and among the debris, dismembered human body parts—unidentifiable—had fallen with sickening thuds. The cold, hardened earth was soaking up a sticky, scalding liquid. It happened right after the broadcast announced a press conference would be held at the Esper Wing. It seemed the accident…

A notification sound rang out from the phone. With an apologetic expression, Geonwoo spoke as if making an excuse. “Oh. It’s the chatroom with the fellow guides. It was basically dead, but something must’ve happened…” Geonwoo’s murmuring abruptly cut off. His expression hardened, as though he had just seen something shocking. At the same time, Sena, who had also been looking at her phone, glanced around and said, “Huh?” Judging by how pale her face had gone, she must have seen…
