In the ancient land of Yamato, seven powerful clans rule, each upholding their own traditions and strength. But when one clan seeks forbidden power, the balance of the world is shattered. Legends tell of warriors destined to rise, of a hero who will walk the sacred path, and of a battle that will shape the future of Yamato. As alliances are tested and enemies emerge from the shadows, the line between justice and power begins to blur. Will strength alone decide the fate of Yamato, or will a greater force change its destiny forever?

In a world torn apart by rifts that release dangerous monsters, Espers—humans imbued with powerful abilities—serve as humanity's last line of defense. But the power of an Esper comes with a price. Overuse of their abilities leads to dangerous corruption, a force that can destroy them from the inside out. This is where Guides come in: individuals with the unique ability to calm the corruption within Espers and restore their balance.Rowan Mercer, an S-class Guide, is one of the best in his field, capable of stabilizing even the most dangerous Espers. He has worked quietly behind the scenes, helping those in need, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is called to work with Lucian Vaughn, an S-class Esper whose immense power and unstable corruption levels make him a dangerous threat to himself and others.Lucian, a tall, stoic, and enigmatic figure, has long fought against the growing corruption within him. At first, his relationship with Rowan is purely professional—Rowan as his Guide, helping him to stay in control. However, as their interactions grow more frequent, their bond deepens in ways neither expected. What started as a simple duty soon turns into a complex relationship where power, trust, and vulnerability collide.As the world around them faces escalating threats from rifts, Rowan and Lucian must navigate not only their personal challenges but also the dangerous world of Espers and Guides. Their bond will be tested as they fight together against the corrupting forces that threaten them both.In Corrupted Bonds, survival isn’t just about battling monsters from the rifts—it's about fighting the darkness within themselves and finding a way to stay connected in a world that’s constantly pulling them apart.

A game descended upon reality. A dimensional gate opened.

Beasts from the dungeon stared out intently. The human world was in danger.

Fortunately, the whole world awakened to new powers. During their coming-of-age ceremony, everyone had the chance of obtaining new jobs and abilities, such as Knight, Mage and Archer.

Those who awakened battle job classes would become heroes.

Those who awakened other job classes would serve in logistics or become cannon fodder.

Lin Sen awakened the Farmer job class, which was acknowledged as the weakest job class. Aside from harvesting crops and caring for flowers, he would rear cattle and sheep.

Fortunately, he awakened the God-tier Farm System.

Lin Sen decided to plant crops on his own!

On the first day of planting crops, he obtained the seed of the ancient Tree of Life.

Then, he obtained the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, God Binding Vines, Corpse Stench Demonic Vine…Various god-tier plants appeared and shocked the world.

Other people exclaimed, “What job class is this? He can actually clear the final dungeon solo!”

Lin Sen claimed, “I am just an ordinary farmer.”
