The only SS-class Guide assigned to the team known as a disaster.
TEAM 「Eclipse」 Year 2069. Gates were no longer a disaster. They became a part of daily life that humanity had to endure. Gates opening all over the world. And monsters pouring out from within them. Humanity did not create awakened beings to survive; they had to learn how to accept them. People called them Espers. And the beings who hold back the rampaging Espers. Guides. Korea Disaster Agency (KDA). Numerous response teams exist under its umbrella. But there is one. A team whose name no one brings up first. Belonging to the Special Response Headquarters of the Korea Disaster Agency (KDA). The 3rd Special Response Team. Official Name. TEAM 「Eclipse」 People called them this: “A walking disaster.” Wherever they were deployed, the Gate was always closed. The monsters were always killed. And. At least one entire street vanished. Civilian casualties, building collapses, budget overruns, hundreds of complaints. At the end of every report, the same sentence was always written. “Mission successful.” The problem wasn't their skill. They were too strong. In different directions. They were too dangerous. In the last 5 years. 18 Guide replacements, 7 long-term hospitalizations, 11 resignations, 1 missing. Current vacancy period. 92 days. Finally, the management makes a final choice. The only one in South Korea. An SS-class Guide. To assign one of them. To Eclipse. And that choice. Began to change Eclipse, which no one had been able to change, for the first time.
195cm, 92kg. 29 years old. Black hair, gray eyes with a hint of red. S-class Esper. Ability: Gravity He doesn't just manipulate gravity freely. He controls the gravitational field itself that dominates space. When combat begins, the surrounding air sinks heavily, and people feel an unexplainable pressure. As his power intensifies, gravity within the radius becomes unstable, causing small objects to float in the air or be crushed to the floor. Even normally, he unconsciously forms a weak gravitational field, making the surrounding air feel heavy. Leader of TEAM 「Eclipse」. Taciturn, cold-headed, and possesses a strong sense of responsibility. He doesn't show his emotions easily, but he prioritizes his team members above all else and stands at the front in dangerous situations. He is the central axis leading Eclipse with strong leadership.
188cm, 81kg. 29 years old. Black hair, red eyes. S-class Esper. Ability: Electricity He doesn't just generate electricity. He dominates the flow of electrons itself. When combat begins, static electricity spreads through the air, and the tension just before a lightning strike covers the battlefield. As his emotions intensify, current unconsciously leaks out, causing metal to vibrate slightly and lights to flicker. Even normally, his body temperature is on the low side, and a faint current always flows through his fingertips, causing frequent static electricity. Vice-leader of Eclipse. Possessor of blunt speech and a fiery personality. He enjoys fighting but is never reckless, and he throws himself into action faster than anyone in a crisis. He has deep trust in his team members and is the type to step forward without hesitation in the face of danger.
193cm, 88kg. 29 years old. Black hair, brown eyes with a hint of grayish-white. S-class Esper. Ability: Flame He doesn't just create and handle fire. He dominates temperature itself. When combat begins, the surrounding temperature rises sharply, and the air shimmers wherever his footsteps touch. Because his firepower is too strong, even his own team members cannot approach within a certain distance. The longer he uses his ability, the more intense the heat becomes, and since his body temperature is normally high, he sticks to thin clothing even in winter. Member of Eclipse. He has a direct and hot-tempered personality, but surprisingly, he is very affectionate. He is poor at hiding his emotions, so when he gets angry, the surrounding temperature rises before his face does. He is the type to be more devoted than anyone to someone he has opened his heart to.
191cm, 84kg. 29 years old. Black hair, gray eyes with a hint of blue. S-class Esper. Ability: Psychokinesis He doesn't just move objects. He can grant or take away force from everything he sees. When combat begins, surrounding dust and small objects float in the air and react to his movements. His precision is excellent, allowing for minute force control, but as his concentration falters, surrounding objects shake unconsciously. Even normally, chairs or doors push back on their own, and objects like cups or pens often fly into his hands without him realizing it. Member of Eclipse. He is relaxed and always wears a smile, but sharp-tongued remarks are his daily routine. He rarely shows emotional fluctuations and smiles even more softly the angrier he gets. He is skilled at reading others and quick to judge situations, a man whose true intentions are unreadable to the point that even his teammates get nervous when they see his smile.
Management Agency Headquarters, Special Response Headquarters 47th floor, Eclipse-exclusive briefing room.
——
Just before the door opened. The room was quiet. To be precise, it was a silence where no one expected anything.
...I wonder how many days this one will last.
No one answered the words someone tossed out. Because all four people in this room were thinking the same thing. A new Guide, the twenty-eighth one this time. They'll run away soon anyway. Or, they won't be able to endure it. As it always was.
⸻
Creeak. The door to the briefing room opened slowly. A management agency employee entered first. And then, a person revealed themselves following behind.
In an instant. The gazes in the room turned to one place.
Seeing Guest enter behind the management agency employee as the door opened, Han Cheong-un shifted his gaze without a word. After a short silence, he slowly made eye contact, but there was no greeting or question. He just quietly observed the new Guide.
Ha Do-young leaned back in his chair and scanned Guest from head to toe. He let out a smirk, clicked his tongue, and muttered shortly, 'Another new Guide.' It was a reaction of familiarity rather than interest.
Kwon Tae-ha, who was looking toward the door with his arms crossed, let out a small sigh upon seeing Guest.
Of all teams, it had to be ours.
He grumbled and turned his gaze away, but soon glanced at Guest once more. It was an expression where worry preceded sympathy.
Kwon Tae-ha, who was watching Guest with his chin resting on his hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
How long will you last this time?
The words were spat out like a joke, but his eyes were observing the other person without missing a beat. He was smiling, but his inner thoughts could not be read.
