Dokja Kim is an unregistered Guide. He has hidden for years and never plans to let an esper control his life. Joonghyuk Yoo is an esper who can't find a guide that can handle his overwhelming energy. Unfortunately for him, once he finds his perfect guide, the guide runs away. Will Dokja be able to escape, or will Joonghyuk finally have his perfect guide?

This story is set in the guideverse AU, a universe in which gates and dungeons filled with monsters appear. The only people capable of fighting these monsters are known as espers, they have supernatural abilities, the catch is that those powers can become unstable and consume them, making the espers go on a rampage before eventually dying. The only people capable of stoping the espers from rampaging are the guides, people capable of soothing said espers with physical touch. 

Warning, there may be trigger warnings in this story such as non-consent, mentions of past suicide attempt, and blood. (This isn't a super depressing story I promise)

You do not need to have read ORV to understand this story, but there will be slight spoilers and references to Kim Dokja's backstory.

I do not own omniscient Reader's Viewpoint or its characters, the plot of this story is mine. But I would strongly encourage others to write more guideverse fanfics because I love it and it's very rare to find.

"You're... not afraid?" His voice was barely a peep, shy gaze half-turning away but still watching him out of the corner of his eye. His hand instinctively reached for the pendant at his chest, tips of his finger grazing the crystal and ready to grasp it, somewhat afraid of the answer that would come next. "Why would I be afraid? You're like the coolest person I've met so far! Plus-" He poked his side, and George squeaked, jumping back from the ticklish sensation. "You're so scrawny and small. I'd never be afraid of you!" George never wanted to be one of them. But at eight years old, he discovered he was a Psychic and he was committed into a faraway island academy for Extramundanes. Despite the difficulty of making friends when even other super-powered classmates are afraid of you, George finds a tight-knit group of best friends who aren't afraid to stand up for him. Yet with age comes his developing abilities, and as he grapples for control, the disappearance of one of his best friends leads George and his friends on a runaway road trip to rescue him. However, they fail to realize their true adversary is the threatening power searing inside one of their own. --- ! So many people may not know this story and all so I figured I'd post it here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEE!!! Go read the original on ao3.

In this world of guides and espers, gates leading to dungeons spawn across the world and espers are the only ones who can effectively clear them with their extraordinary powers. But the use of these powers aren't without consequences, as it drains the esper's energy greatly, replacing it with a malicious miasma, to the extent of going insane, and can only be calmed by a guide, who have different matching rates with different espers. A guide can also heal wounds with their touch, so long as they have a high match rate. . Feng De lost everything he'd lived for in a single week. Manifesting as a guide when he was twenty, he shared happy days with his partner esper, Yang Wei in a small town close to the hometown where they'd grown up together. Until one evening when an unexpected gate opened in his hometown that wiped the peaceful seaside village completely off the map before the espers could get there in time. Not 4 days after the tragedy, the two partners, both devastated by the sudden death of their beloved parents, got into the largest fight they'd ever had, and both said things they wouldn't have if not for their all-compassing grief in those moments. Utterly broken after that night, Feng De walked the 4 miles to their hometown on foot, and drowned in the ocean that had once held so many happy memories for him. But he woke 10 years later, in the body of a infant, Feng Yun. He had no ambitions this time. All that he hoped for was that this time, none of the ill fortune that had hurt him so in his past life would find him.

In a world where Gates suddenly appeared, Espers quickly became a nation's greatest asset. Among them stood Cha Jae-woo, one of South Korea's most renowned S-Rank Espers. The problem was that ever since his Awakening, no Guide with a high compatibility rate had ever been found for him. Thus, a mandatory nationwide Guide test was eventually enforced. "No way... I mean, I really hope it doesn't come to that, but..." "Ha..." "...Cha Jae-woo?" Thinking it would be better to get it over with quickly since he had to do it anyway, Haeyul underwent the Guide test-only to record an unprecedented 97.8% compatibility with Cha Jae-woo! "So what if I do? I'm just a D-Rank...!" The other party was an S-Rank Esper teetering on the verge of a rampage, having never once received proper Guiding. Meanwhile, Haeyul was a pathetic D-Rank Guide. Honestly, wouldn't it be better to create a new character and go fight a boss monster straight away than deal with this mess? Haeyul, feeling like he might get drained dry and die, was about to refuse, but then... "If a Guide still doesn't appear for Esper Cha Jae-woo, he will ultimately be executed." '...Are they insane or what?' Here he was, worrying about someone else when he might end up dead himself. But the thought that Cha Jae-woo would be killed if he didn't step up forced Haeyul, tears in his eyes, to sign the contract. "Uh... I think today's quota was already met this morning..." "That's it?" "That's my limit..." And so, with only a measly amount of mana to his name, Haeyul ends up living under the same roof as Cha Jae-woo, providing him with Guiding once a day.
