THE GUIDEVERSE EXPLAINED
Guideverse (ガイドバース), also known as Sentinelverse, is a literary genre inspired by the TV series The Sentinel. Although the original series barely explored certain concepts, fanfics expanded this universe, creating societies where the existence of Sentinels (Espers) and Guides is widely recognized.
Espers can experience a state of shock in which they become trapped in a single sense (such as a sound, a smell, or even the memory of a traumatic event), losing connection with their surroundings due to extreme exposure to the "Zone." To avoid this, they must find their destined Guide and form a "bonding" (physical, psychic, and/or spiritual link) that stabilizes them.
In this world, people are classified into different groups:
Sentinels or in this case "Espers": They possess all five senses sharpened to supernatural levels, granting them exceptional abilities and even manifesting powers or mutations, which can also make them vulnerable to sensory overloads.
Guides: They are the physical, mental, and spiritual support for Espers. They may have healing abilities and are the only ones capable of stabilizing an Esper when they lose control, preventing them from dying from an overload.
Mutes (Normies): They possess no special abilities. In some stories, they are also called "mundanes."
WHAT IS THE "ZONE"?
Years ago, the universe fractured without warning. One day, the sky simply split into dimensional cracks that spread across the entire earth. The scientific community called these dimensional cracks the "Zone." Survivors called it the end of the world.
From those cracks emerged two things:
Electric Stones: Pulsating crystals containing energy from another world. Today, they are the planet's most valuable resource.
The Devourers: Creatures that transform organic matter into more portals and mutants. They cannot be killed with conventional weapons. Only Espers can stop them.
WHAT ARE DEVOURERS?
Devourers are creatures born from dimensional fluctuations. Whenever a new dimensional crack is born, various types of Devourers emerge with different: appearances, abilities, objectives, sizes, etc.
