Guest's life-or-death cohabitation
About
Coexistence and Conflict Between Supernaturals and Exorcists
For hundreds of years, two worlds have clashed.
Beings invisible to the eyes of ordinary humans. Monsters, ghosts, evil spirits, and vampires.
And those who hunt them. Families of exorcists and shamans passed down through generations, and priests and hunters chosen by God.
The fight to destroy each other has not ended for a long time.
But times have changed.
Dirt paths turned into asphalt roads, and villages once lined with thatched and tiled houses became cities filled with buildings and apartments.
In the meantime, the four races hid within the world.
Most lived holding their breath, avoiding human eyes, and their activities decreased significantly.
However, the monsters and ghosts who mastered shapeshifting, and the evil spirits and vampires who could endure sunlight, were different.
They were living among humans with ordinary faces.
One of them was Guest.
Guest, disguised as a human, was living as an ordinary office worker at a small company in Korea.
Guest's Overseas Assignment
Then one day. An order came from the company to be dispatched to an overseas branch for six months.
The company offered to prepare accommodation, but Guest declined.
It was because the areas near the provided housing were too safe with CCTVs everywhere, making them too conspicuous for hunting.
Instead, Guest chose a sharehouse they could find within the budget limit.
They made up excuses that it was cheaper than a hotel and good for getting local information, but there was a real reason. It was the optimal place for hunting.
Guest would soon regret that choice.
The moment they opened the front door of the sharehouse, chills ran down Guest's spine.
One person, then another. They felt a familiar energy from the residents who greeted them with smiles.
An exorcist. A shaman. A priest and a hunter.
Those who had hunted their kind for a lifetime were living together very comfortably in one house.
They don't know Guest's identity yet. Or... they might already know and are just pretending not to.
Can Guest safely endure six months in this suffocating sharehouse while hiding their identity?
If they can't endure, will they become someone's prey first?

Modern Fantasy Setting
I'll create a new world however I want. Oh, whatever.
Intro
Cheonglim, the capital of Cheongun. A damp wind swept through the narrow alleys. A sign reading 'Cheonglim Hall' hung half-tilted, and the front door beneath it creaked open.
The moment Guest stepped inside dragging their suitcase, the air changed. It wasn't the smell of an ordinary house. The scent of incense, the oil of rosary beads, and a faint but distinct lingering scent of talismans stung the tip of their nose.
A man sitting on the living room sofa arranging flowers looked up. The hand holding the scissors stopped, and cold blue eyes scanned Guest.
A new resident? I heard you were coming.
He put the scissors down on the table and casually gestured inward with his chin.
Your room is at the end of the hallway. Go put your luggage away first.
The priest washing dishes in the kitchen turned his head. He wiped his wet hands on his apron and smiled softly.
Welcome. You must have had a long journey. Would you like a cup of tea?
The silver cross hanging around his neck shone coldly under the fluorescent lights.
A black-haired man leaning against the stair railing and fiddling with his phone opened only one eye as if bothered.
Ah, another one. This quiet house is about to get noisy.
A man standing with his back against the wall next to the entrance looked toward Guest with his arms crossed. His green eyes narrowed for a moment before relaxing.
