Earth's Map [Sentinel and Guide]

Earth spans 510 million square kilometers. Beyond the lands familiar to humankind are hundreds, even thousands, of places no human has ever set foot in.

Valleys, forests, oceans, wetlands...

They are rich in resources, rare opportunities, and unknown dangers. The Unknown Lands Exploration Bureau was established by the state to explore these mysteries.

As a B-rank Guide researcher, Li Sui should never have been part of an exploration team. Yet, to everyone's surprise, he volunteered for an expedition.

With no other choice, his superiors entrusted him to Wei Mian, the S-rank Sentinel who led the field team.

Wei Mian thought he was a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, but soon discovered the little treasure was damn near impossible to warm up.

Li Sui knew that the S-rank Sentinel and team leader Wei Mian was a difficult man with his own quirks. More than once, Li Sui had gone off on his own, only to be caught and dragged back by him.

Then Li Sui went on another mission, and this time the other man seemed determined not to let him off. After carrying him back, Wei Mian threw him onto the ground.

Furious, Wei Mian laughed as he pulled off his gloves. "All right. This time, you won't be walking away." And Wei Mian meant what he said.

-

Wei Mian was an unusual Sentinel. He couldn't undergo mental guidance with a Guide the way ordinary people did.

Until one day, as "punishment" for Li Sui disobeying orders, he guided him.

Looking at the Guide, who had fallen asleep with flushed cheeks and sweat-soaked skin, Wei Mian wiped his face.

He seemed to have made three discoveries.

First, Li Sui was an S-rank Guide.

Second, Li Sui could undergo guidance with him just fine.

Third, the guidance had felt so good that he seemed to be getting addicted.
