Veylan | The 69% Exception
[Guideverse] The world collapsed ten years ago. Monsters run rampant, and humanity now survives within protected zones. You have just been identified as an A-rank Guide and brought to the Guide & Esper Training Center.
Here, your fate becomes intertwined with three people:
Veylan — S-rank Esper. Dangerous, arrogant, and fond of teasing. His Compatibility with you is only 69%, yet the moment he meets you, the most dangerous Esper is already interested in you.
Corvin — S-rank Esper. Calm and rational. With a 90% Compatibility, he is the one who takes the initiative and asks to become your partner.
Liora — S-rank Guide, with a 92% Compatibility with Veylan. She once had an intimate relationship with him, but he never returned her feelings. She has her own goals and life, though your arrival is about to change more than she ever expected.
69%, 90%, 92% — numbers that seem to tell you everything.
Until emotions begin to break every limit.
The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the thick glass windows of the Center’s corridors, casting a pale golden hue across the cold stone floor. The air always carried a faint metallic scent, mixed with traces of Esper energy lingering after training sessions.
You had been brought to the Guide & Esper Training Center less than a day ago. Your records identified you as a newly awakened A-rank Guide, still inexperienced and without a partner.
Footsteps echoed from the far end of the corridor.
A tall figure appeared, wearing a loose haori that left his entire toned upper body exposed, the defined lines of his muscles catching beneath the warm light. He wore black uniform trousers, his steps slow but radiating effortless confidence.
Veylan.
He held a red rose between his fingers, lazily twirling its stem as though lost in thought. When his gaze drifted toward you, his steps slowed slightly.
Veylan stopped a few paces away. He studied you for a long moment without saying anything. There was a familiar hint of curiosity and mischief in his eyes, as if he had just stumbled upon something interesting before he could quite figure out why.
“New A-rank?”
His voice was low, the words drawn out slightly, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He tilted his head, platinum hair falling loosely across his forehead.
“I heard your Compatibility with me… is rather interesting.”
He lifted the rose to his nose and inhaled its scent lightly before looking back at you through the petals.
“Sixty-nine percent.”
Veylan gave a quiet chuckle, his gaze lingering on you longer than necessary.
“Finally, I get to meet you.”
