1 – Chapter 1. Villain Executioner (1)

December 2024, somewhere in Gyeonggi-do.

late night.

An alley with no neon signs, only daylight fluorescent lights illuminating the street.

“Whoa, whoa…!”

A young man was running down an alley, gasping for breath.

Although he wears a plain T-shirt and jeans, what is unusual is that his whole body is full of scars that look like they were cut by a sharp sword.

And that wound is now increasing in real time.

Fu-wook!

“Ah…!!”

The young man rolled on the floor.

I reached out my hand to my earlobe at the tingling sensation, and a warm liquid came out of my hand.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

cut off

The burning pain was stronger than any pain he had ever experienced in his life.

But I can’t stand still in this trash heap.

“Nu, someone save me!!”

Awesome!

Scared to shout for help, the garbage bag next to the young man split in half.

The pile of garbage flowing from inside was like brain water, and the young man gulped down his saliva as it felt like the future his head would experience.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

I know I shouldn’t scream.

But the screams are bound to leak out.

there.

“Where are you running away?”

A woman in black zentai tights approaching humming a song from behind.

His face is covered with a mask, sunglasses are worn over his eyes, and his hair is covered with latex tights.

“If they were caught now, they would calmly cut them off in one blow. Huh? Do you want to be cut diagonally?”

The moment he heard her creepy voice, the man remembered the news he had seen flashing through history.

-…The talented villain [Pepper Cutter] is a villain who only targets men in their 20s… .

Pepper Cutter.

So-called go-ja maker.

A villain who wields a whip using this ability as if playing with a toy, and in the end cuts off something precious to a man like his life.

If you get caught by that woman, you will surely die.

It will be found as a dead body somewhere after shedding blood, and will be dead with blood on the lower half of the body.

“No!!! I don’t want to die!!”

The man was desperate.

“Hero! Please, someone help me!! Please!!”

“Don’t you have anything like that?”

Chew.

A whip flew down the man’s throat.

Not an ordinary black whip, but a whip like the thorns of a rose.

This whip is the ability of that supernatural person, the pepper cutter.

Originally, based on her ability to handle plant stems with a whip, she would have been nicknamed ‘Rose Whip’ or something like that, but the misdeeds this woman commits as a villain changed her nickname to something so horrific.

“There is no one to help. Even if they notice the commotion, no one will come to help directly. Everyone is holding their breath.”

“Kuh, keuheugh…!”

“As soon as you report a hero, an alarm will go off, and I’m going to kick the bastard that goes off the alarm. Is there anyone around who is listening? Just report it. I’ll kick everyone, male or female.”

Pepper Cutter was so confident that he threatened those around him.

It was an alley, so someone could have noticed the commotion and woke up and reported it, but unfortunately, no one could.

As soon as you report it, a danger alarm sounds loudly.

The Pepper Cutter is capable of finding the caller inside the wall of a building and then killing it.

“Ohoho, shall we harvest then? Rest assured, we’ll cut them down before you even feel the pain.”

“That, stop…! Why are you doing this!!”

“Why? Need a reason? Ha ha, there’s no reason.”

Peppercutter licked the handle of his whip with his tongue.

“I have the power to kill people, and no one can subdue me with the law. Even if I kill people with this ability, it won’t cause any problems in my ‘present life’. Do you understand?”

“You, no way…!”

“That’s right. I’m an unregistered person. I’m an ordinary person who hasn’t been registered as a person with special abilities yet. I could be among the people you met this morning, or they could be people who live in the same city or country as me. Either way…”

Chew.

“You die here.”

“Keah, keuheouk…!”

“It’s not just about dying. I’m going to feel pain until I die. Oh, why are you killing me like this?”

After putting his face close to the young man, Pepper Cutter smiled broadly as he took off his mask so that only the young man could see it.

“Just. I want to do this. I want to cut all the men there and cut them into pieces. Why? Strange? Just take it easy. A psychopath has become a villain who has awakened this ability.”

“Uh, Kahak, heuuugh…!”

“Oh, what’s wrong with the man? Look at his wet pants. Why are you getting so dirty?”

The pepper cutter trampled the young man’s stomach with his shoe.

“Unpleasant. Ugh, a guy like you-“

ah ah ah

An alarm bell started to blare from behind.

[Villain appeared! Villain Appears! I want a hero to appear as soon as possible!!]

At the loud alarm, the pepper cutter turned his head away with an annoyed gesture.

“Ha, damn it. If I report it, I’ll kill-“

over the alley.

A man holding a smartphone showing an alarm screen indicating that a villain has appeared was wearing a black suit.

Even the tie is black.

The only color he has is a ‘goblin mask’ with golden eyes.

“What, what…? Stand, no way?!”

Pepper Cutter’s voice quickly hardened.

“Everything, how are you?! No, why are you?!”

[A citizen passing by found the villain. Didn’t you learn in elementary morality class to report criminals to the police and villains to the hero?]

“this person…!!”

Chew.

The peppercutter wildly retrieved the whip from the young man.

“You’re a villain too! That’s a secret society…!”

[This is because it is a secret society. You can’t just pass by a person who kills people carelessly. If that’s a villain belonging to our ‘Society’.]

Chunk.

[I have no choice but to punish.]

The masked man, the goblin, put his smartphone into the inside pocket of his suit and took out the one he was holding behind his back.

[Pepper Cutter. You have tarnished the name of the association. As the executioner of the society, I will execute you from now on.]

It was a baseball bat.

[The association doesn’t kill people carelessly. Because that young man will one day become a servant of the world that the society will conquer.]

Sharp golden thorns were densely embedded in the bat, which was too neat to be called aluminum, and the color was like ebony.

[All mankind will become the ‘taxpayer’ and ‘slave’ of the ‘captain’. You have indiscriminately killed the would-be slaves of the gunman, so the crime is heavy.]

“You, you…! What are you going to do with me!”

[Execution as a villain. Execution as a member of society. Simple.]

The goblin held the bat in one hand and aimed it at the pepper cutter.

[I reported you, and now I’m going to hand it over to the hero.]

“You crazy bastard! Villains, members of the same society don’t even have compassion?!”

[Because I am a completely different person from the villain you think. And don’t put me and a villain like you on the same line in the first place. I.]

With those words, the goblin’s figure disappeared.

[Because it is the ‘executive’ of the society.]

Puh—Billion!

The goblin, who disappeared like an illusion, appeared next to Pepper Cutter before he knew it, and swung the bat at Pepper Cutter’s side with a full swing.

“Cheuk!!”

The pepper cutters slammed into the wall in an instant.

The impact was so strong that a man-shaped crack appeared in the concrete wall, and red blood began to flow through the latex hole pierced by the thorn in the pepper cutter’s waist.

[Execution does not discriminate between men and women. Only children can avoid this bat.]

“you you…!”

[Don’t pretend to be sick. It must have been more painful for the victims who were cut into cubes by you.]

pug.

The goblin struck the bat down again.

This time, he hit the peppercutter’s leg with the part that hadn’t gone through, but the impact was so strong that the concrete on the floor shattered.

[You will go to the prison for those with special abilities. There is no need for an association to take someone like you and reform them.]

“Ahhh…!!”

The goblin held the pepper cutter’s sharp whip and wrapped itself around the pepper cutter’s body.

The stem whip, which had slashed and thorned countless men so far, became a rope that wrapped around Pepper Cutter’s entire body, and the goblin raised the bat again toward Pepper Cutter, who had fallen to the ground.

[I hear it’s a threshing-]

“stop!!”

Along with a high-pitched voice from afar, something quickly brushed the side of the goblin’s mask.

“Next time back of the head! It won’t end with a warning!!”

it was a bullet

The white beads embedded in the wall were magic bullets manifested with this ability, and outside the alley, there was a woman wearing a white uniform.

[Is it a hero?]

“Yes! I-“

[I still have work to do… well, good Now that the hero has arrived, let the passing villains go away.]

After stuffing the bat around his waist, the goblin put his hand on the mask.

[Hello.]

Flash!

As soon as the golden powder glittered around the goblin, the goblin immediately disappeared on the spot as if teleporting.

“ah!”

The woman in the white uniform bit her lower lip and gnashed her teeth, and hurriedly approached the place where the goblin had left, holding a magic rifle.

“…This is ‘Snow White’. Report. Situation…End.”

– What happened ?!

“…the [villain executioner] goblin ‘executed’ Peppercutter.”

The woman, Snow White, looked at the whip-bound pepper cutter and bit her teeth.

“I’ll definitely catch it someday…! Goblin…!”

* * *

Nearby, alley.

“Tsk, I was passing by and got caught up in something bothersome.”

The goblin masked young man in a black suit took off his mask.

Soon his whole body shimmered in gold, and soon the young man—

“Disable transformation.”

got naked
