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 387. Daylight Legal Robbery

As a witness for the House Trial case, Zein had to talk to a prosecutor too. Although, since it was a House Trial, they called her the inquisitor. Interestingly, the person was Radia's aunt--Calix's younger sister, who was the mother of the sisters Zein met on his first visit to the Peak.

It would be Zein's first trial, so, much needed to be done to...set an agreed-upon story. They had to cull any part that would implicate Zein instead--like how he almost killed all of his kidnappers. They wanted to take as much as they could from the Horins, so even though he didn't like it, he had to play the part of a pitiful victim.

"I better gain a lot from this," Zein stared at the prosecutor's team sharply. He didn't mind playing tricks, but he didn't like having to look weak and pathetic--not now that he was a patriarch of a clan.

"Don't worry, Sir Ishtera," Tilia Mallarch smiled confidently. "We can get you their residential compound if you'd like."
