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 426. Territory Marking

For a few seconds, Bassena froze, unblinking. He stared at the guide, but he didn't find any alarming signs. Zein still looked relaxed, and there was no tension in his body. 

Ah, so it came from a practical standpoint, not an emotional one.

"Ah, right..." Bassena laid his head down on Zein's shoulder again. "Radia will tell everyone to make one soon--you know...before we go."

 

Zein smiled. It was such a Radia thing to do. Essentially, those 'will' also act as life insurance for the family of the guild members who would go to the Deathzone. A sum of money would be sent to a chosen beneficiary in case of death on duty, and from what Zein heard, the amount was more than adequate--enough for the recipient to live decently for the rest of their lives, provided they did not squander it.
