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
