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 534. The Power of Connection

When Han Joon came out with a big tray of food, the old man was in the middle of a rather passionate storytelling, while Zein listened calmly with his tea in hand.

"So I told him he needed to change his old way, but he stubbornly said it was his clan's teaching," the old man grumbled. "Such a stubborn mule. I had to prove to him that his was was flawed."

"Did you beat him up?"

"How else should I do it?"

Zein chuckled softly; his eyes were shining brighter with every story he heard about his father. It was a story that Senan or the Elder didn't know, so it was precious to him.

"He had such a huge potential! If only he let go of his restraint..." 

"But that restraint was what made him who he was," Zein replied with a smile. "Someone like you...wouldn't just take someone as your disciple simply because of innate talent, would you?"

The old man's eyes twitched. "How are you so sure?"
