The little grass spirit Yan Lang was struck by lightning and sent to a world where the paranormal had returned.
The previous owner's first day inheriting the family estate was also the day he died in his own building. On top of that, his family wanted to use him as a sacrifice to summon the "true god."
But right now, the most important thing was finding food and shelter.
Yan Lang picked up his little notebook and knocked on the tenant's door: Rent collection!
He owned a whole building, after all.
The lanky shadow monster, who liked to skin people and invite him to dinner in the dead of night, was Tenant No. 1.
The violinist who used human intestines as strings and kept sending him spam texts with recordings was Tenant No. 2.
The pitch-black tentacles that collected human limbs to decorate their room and liked to visit him in his dreams were Tenant No. 3...
The tenant being visited smelled a sweet human scent and opened the door.
The next second, its smile froze.
The young man, who should have been dead, stood before it in perfect condition.
Eerie green sprouts stitched together the young man's torn abdomen.
The pale, frail young man tilted his head and reached out to put his dislocated joints back into place once more. Then he smiled kindly. "Could you pay your rent and utilities, please?"
In the dim light, a shadow crawled across the wall, radiating an unspoken terror.
Tenant: ... QwQ
Fine, I'll pay!
Yan Lang happily collected the rent.
His tenants seemed difficult to get along with, but they really were nice people!
Apricot Grove Apartments, one of the most dangerous S-rank paranormal domains ever discovered, had been targeted several times by the Paranormal Affairs Bureau. Not one of the awakened operatives sent to clear it had returned alive.
Recently, the domain had become unusually quiet, and signs of human life had been detected inside.
The Bureau decided to send someone to investigate.
Yin Shu, the Bureau's strongest operative, possessed both devouring and beastification abilities. The domain's corruption had no effect on him, making him the ideal person for the mission.
The mission went surprisingly smoothly. Yin Shu successfully found a survivor, a cheerful, obedient, undemanding kid.
There was just one problem:
Did he have no will to survive at all?!
Yan Lang led Yin Shu into the living room, where he came face-to-face with 123 paranormal creatures.
Yan Lang cheerfully pointed at Yin Shu. "This is our new tenant. Say hello."
Yin Shu, wearing a complicated expression: "Hello."
...How was he supposed to tell him that these tenants weren't human?
The paranormal creatures, wearing complicated expressions: "Hello."
...How were they supposed to tell him that the landlord was the most terrifying one of all?
