However, Lorena did not meet her husband. When the door to the parlor opened, the person she faced was not her husband but the head butler of the duchy. In disbelief, Lorena asked, “He hasn’t returned? Since last night?” “Yes, my lady,” replied Samuel, the head butler, informing her of her husband’s absence. “His Grace departed from the Alborada Hotel early this morning for Soto Monastery.” Soto Monastery—the very place Lorena had been until just before she regained…-

2. The world she returned to Lorena’s eyes flew open. "Gasp, gasp…" She clutched her chest, her breathing erratic and panicked. Her lungs felt like they were being crushed, the pain excruciating. ‘Breathing?’ Her trembling hands reached for her face. ‘Breathing’ meant she was alive. How could that be? Tears welled up in her eyes as she scanned her surroundings. The room around her was all too familiar—the very same room she had woken up in for the past seven years. Her…

Chu Jin-ho scribbled notes in his notebook as he slowly explained, caught up in a strange excitement that made his speech alternate between rapid and slow. "This is quite a rare case. Awakening at nineteen... All the Espers and Guides at the Center awakened before fifteen. I had no idea it was possible to awaken after that age. There’s so much more to research now." He looked pleased. "She’s sixteen." A calm voice came from behind. The three people who had been intently watching the screen…-

“How do you even do Guiding for it to cause that much fuss?” Yoon Min muttered as they walked. Lee Hyun glanced down at her. “You mean to say you’ve never really heard about Guiding?” There was a hint of disbelief in his voice. “Well, I’ve heard all kinds of things. People say it involves kissing, or sex, or… cutting off an arm to feed the blood. But those are all just rumors, right?” “…And why are you so sure they’re only rumors?” he asked gently, which only made his…

He glanced toward the researchers to hurry them along before turning his attention to Yoon Min. His gaze traveled over her ragged clothing and her wide, clear eyes that stared back at him. "Young," he commented briefly. “She may look it, but she’s twenty,” Na Tae-young interjected, his usual insolent tone softened with a hint of respect. This shift in Na Tae-young’s demeanor helped Yoon Min identify the man before her: Jin Dong-han, a second-generation Esper and the Director of the Esper…

The two walked on after parting with Seo Jin-ho, with Yoon Min continuing to feel the weight of countless gazes upon her. It seemed as if everyone at the Center was interested in her. "Why does everyone keep staring at me?" "Because you’re an S-grade Guide." "But how do they even know that? Can they just tell by looking?" "Those equipped with a wave detector might get a hint by looking, but not everyone can afford to have one—it’s extremely expensive. The reason everyone knows about you,…

Chu Jin-ho spoke while pulling a long syringe from the medical cart beside the bed, chattering on. Yoon Min couldn’t focus on his words. The syringe was as thick as her pinky finger, and it looked intimidating. "You’re not planning to stick that in me, are you?" "…We need to draw blood." "I have a question—why do I have to go through this test?" "It’s not the full examination yet. This is just preliminary data collection to help with the registration." "Whatever it is, why do I…

Lee Hyun asked Na Tae-young quietly. "So, leaving your aura all over the alleyway like that…wasn’t that an invitation to follow?" "…" "You really thought no one would notice you using your powers in Sector 37? What business would you have in a place like that?" "I just didn’t expect someone to sneak around behind me so quietly…like a rat." Lee Hyun smiled with a hint of bitterness. "The rat here is you, Lee Hyun. Hiding an S-grade Guide in your back pocket, hoarding her all for…

"What… what are you talking about?" Yoon Min gasped, struggling to break free from the man’s grip, but it was futile. No ordinary person could escape the clutches of an Esper. Her vision began to blur as her face turned red, her breath hitching painfully. Finally, the man released her, dropping her to the ground like discarded trash. She collapsed, clutching her throat as she coughed harshly, struggling to draw air back into her lungs. She reached for her fallen dagger, but the man’s heavy combat…

10. Erable hated horror movies, but she had no choice. It was the only genre that allowed her to be scared without it seeming unnatural. '...Oh no!' She had, unfortunately, chosen the longest sequel of a horror movie, and when a ghost suddenly leapt out from the darkness, she clenched her teeth hard. She nearly screamed next to him. She didn’t want to draw any attention from the boss next to her, only to end up getting obliterated. Gritting her teeth harder, she focused on the screen. The…-
