There’s No Love In the Deathzone (BL)

Zein was a rogue Guide living in the god-forsaken land of the red-zone, guiding for money and survival. Until the guild he used to work with caused a tragedy. Driven by sorrow and guilt, Zein became a mercenary guide in the land bordering the forbidden Deathzone, working like a suicidal monk. One day, an overbearing Esper suddenly appeared and told him, “If you’re so hellbent to die, why don’t you come with me to the Deathzone?” A strange proposition, a nostalgic smirk. Had Zein actually met him before? Following the man into the deadly zone, will Zein find the respite he seeks, or will he get engulfed in a storm? But there’s no such thing as love in the deathzone...is it? * * * The story is set in a sentinel-verse, so there will be: - Sentinel (Esper) and Guide - Dungeon! - Romance - Action - …smut? ;) It’s a (kinda) love story wrapped in dungeon system shenanigans, with abilities and action and whatnot

Chapter 377. The Weight of Duty

The heir of House Kamui, who had been listening to the conversation around the table wordlessly, watched the guide in fascination.

Unlike the other patriarchs, he was merely a child when the incident befalling House Ishtera and killing Zein's father happened. Obviously, he had never heard about Alteroan or the Paladin, so he couldn't chime into the conversation. Instead, he took the time to observe the young patriarch.

A young patriarch always meant one thing; a tragedy. Because it would mean the previous patriarch departed young, or that a generation was being skipped for whatever reason. Sadly, it was rare for young patriarchs to succeed in leading their clans. More likely, they would end up as nothing more than a puppet for their relatives or vassals. Only an exceptional talent that came once every century could escape this shackle--like Radia Mallarc.
