Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

*Prologue* The Korean air enveloped Sarah James like a foreign shroud. An 18-year-old Nigerian, she had never imagined herself in this world. The strict norms and expectations threatened to suffocate her, but her love for K-dramas and K-pop sparked a curiosity that refused to be extinguished.

In the library, Sarah's eyes met Hyun Min's, and her world shifted. The brooding introvert's piercing gaze drew her in, and she found herself captivated by his quiet strength.

Arsol (Username: Hakkun) is your average eighteen-year-old tech nerd; he reads cliche light novels, plays video games (way too many), studies for exams, and he programs! Does he have friends? A social life, maybe? Nah, he’s an anti-social whose inner monologues revolve around how humans suck. He’s the type who blames the world for his problems: edgy, angsty, emo— thinks he’s smarter than everyone and has answers for the world’s crisis. Gotta give it to him, though, he a young talent at whatever he does. His skills for programming, gaming (FPS) as well as studying makes up for the fact that he’s an arse. So much so, that he stops going to school altogether and locks himself in his room, he’d rather be with his computer. Because Arsol is on a mission! He’s been collaborating with online strangers who are all equally gamers and computer nerds, who understand him, and who all have this idea to make this steampunk/dieselpunk game called ‘Hero of Emberstein.’ Now, Arsol won’t lie, he’s obsessed. Being one of the co-creators, he finds himself adding features and details he’d want in an MMORPG. The only thing he dislikes is the customizable character features; he never understands such a personalized activity. He prefers Gacha. After 3 years, the game is finally available for beta testing, his 7 online co-creators are all ready to click the play button. But little does Arsol know, he would for real be in the game, like in person, like ISEKAI-ed, like he could die, for real for real. What's worse is, everyone who clicked the play button for the beta test, has also been Isekaied. So like, maybe over a thousand or more? Arsol thinks it’s his fault innocent players are getting transmigrated into HIS game, because he remembers that he removed the 'EXIT' button as a harmless malfunctioning prank-- turned deadly?! Oops. Journey along with Arsol as he hides his identity as the creator, the culprit, and the administrator. And that time he finds out his 6 online friends are all here as well, but where?! Who?! UGH, THIS IS WHY HE HATES CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS! ( I DO, IN FACT, OWN THE COVER )

In the shining metropolis of New Osaka, the elite rule with gold-plated lies and silver-tongued deception. Behind their lavish towers and polished smiles festers a world of corruption — unseen, unchecked, and unstoppable. But in the shadows, justice has a new name: Silver Guardian. No one knows who he is.

And it's watching him back. Can one man save the world… without ever revealing who he really is?

The Dark Halo Cycle is a sweeping collection of interconnected science fiction short stories set within a shared, expansive future where humanity’s reach stretches from Earth’s orbit to the icy edges of the solar system. In this intricate universe, space stations orbit dying planets, corporate secrets fester in low-gravity corridors, and unknowable forces stir in the shadows between the stars. Through disparate voices and settings—an embattled commander on a haunted research vessel, a detective chasing an impossible murder on Olympus Station, and engineers uncovering disturbing anomalies on distant outposts—each story contributes a piece to a larger, unfolding mystery. As characters grapple with identity, loyalty, and truth, subtle threads begin to weave together: unexplained phenomena, duplicated lives, and whispered protocols hint at a deeper, hidden structure guiding—or unraveling—humanity's destiny. Though each tale stands on its own, together they form a mosaic of creeping dread and awe, ultimately revealing that the greatest threats may not come from beyond, but from within.
