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 103. Undefined Relationship

After the chaotic birthday party, life was back to the usual routine. Bassena took Zein and Selena to the Mortix, following them to the lab and lounging there for a bit until lunch. Zein had to suffer Selena's constant teasing remarks about his supposed relationship with the Serpent Lord.

Which was intriguing, since not even Zein knew how to define his relationship with Bassena. 

They weren't quite lovers yet, and they hadn't gone as far as sex to be called fuck buddies. Zein wasn't really rejecting or accepting Bassena, cruel as it might be. He enjoyed the esper's company, and felt a certain level of affection toward the younger man.

But he, who was still shackled with uncertainty about his identity, who dragged around heavy baggage, who couldn't even like himself enough, couldn't give anyone the suffering of sheltering his heart.

He, who couldn't even dare to think about what tomorrow might bring, shouldn't shackle another person with a cruel future.
