While I was walking, I tripped and fell.
Then when I focused on the ground while walking, I got hit by bird poop.
When I dashed back to my base while keeping my eyes on both the sky and the ground, I collided with a car that suddenly came out of an alley.
You said it was luck!! You said it was luck!! Diamonds are miracles and emeralds are luck, right?!
I wanted to scream at the sky, but—
Right now, I had to run away from the car owner who was trying to hand me his business card because he didn’t want to be mistaken for a hit-and-run driver…
Shouldn’t have come out.
Desperately trying to avoid the misfortunes coming at me, I hurried back to my base, careful not to reveal to anyone that the Villain Hunter was still alive.
Bzzz— Bzzz—
Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a new message.
It read:
—
Sender: I heard you were looking for me.
Me: Who are you?
Sender: The Sword of the Association.
—
The Sword of the Association had reached out.
Of course…
“…Has word gotten out to the whole world that I’m looking for her or something…?”
I had no idea how she’d found out the Villain Hunter who was supposed to be dead was looking for her.
“…Probably the Hero Association President again.”
Blame it on the all-knowing president theory.
She’s the one who told me everything about the future.
She’s the one who told me what would happen to me.
At this rate, I might as well say she’s the one who invented shaved pork belly too.
—
Me: Can we meet?
Sender: We can.
Me: I’d appreciate it if you could tell me your location. I’ll come to you.
Sender: I’ll send the address via link.
—
I clicked the link the Sword of the Association had sent.
Her current GPS location came up…
“…Just my luck.”
Of all places, she was located in the one area furthest from where I was standing.
At this point, I was starting to think my mother’s diamond ring might actually be some kind of blood diamond or something.
There’s no other explanation for why misfortune kept piling up on me like this.
A curse from the sacrificed African miners, maybe.
Cutting off my pointless delusions there, I set off to find the Sword of the Association.
I needed to learn how to control domains freely if only to clear up the horrible misunderstanding that I was a child predator.
“Taxi! I need to go a bit far—”
Spit.
“….…”
“I’m not letting your sick ass in, you piece of trash.”
I’m the Villain Hunter.
I’m actually alive.
What I’ve got on my ankle wasn’t a sex offender tracking anklet. It was an ability suppression device.
If I take it off, I might die.
If only I could say those two sentences, how much easier my life would be.
No…
Even just—
I’m the Villain Hunter.
If I could just say that one thing…
“Where do you think you’re going with that anklet on? Just stay holed up in your place like you should.”
“…I’m the Villain Hunter—”
“If you’re the Villain Hunter, then I’m Mobia, you piece of shit.”
Leaving behind Mobia, who spat out his last insult before speeding off in his car.
I must’ve debated about thirty times whether I should just smash that taxi to pieces…
“…Since when did our Seo-yoon turn into such a hairy old man?”
That’s when I thought, maybe I should wrap my ankle with a sandbag.
“Where’s the nearest Daiso?”
That way, at least I’d look like someone in training.
Whatever it is, it’s better than being mistaken for a child molester…
“Wow… even trash like that walks around freely, huh?”
“Hah… what a waste of my tax money.”
“Tsk tsk… the world’s gone to hell. Back in my day, if you had something like that on your ankle, you’d stay quietly holed up at home.”
I started running toward the nearest Daiso, determined to buy those sandbags as soon as possible.
…
I managed to endure the cold stares of the people and successfully strapped the sandbags to my ankles.
I should change clothes, too.
I had brought a spare outer layer in my duffel bag just in case.
After stepping into a secluded spot where no one was around, I neatly changed clothes as well.
Zzzzt—
Then I reconfigured the settings on the recognition blocking mask I was wearing, disguising myself as a completely different person than the one people had seen until now.
“All done.”
In just one minute, I had completely transformed myself from a child sex offender to someone who was just seriously committed to personal fitness, walking around with sandbags on his ankles.
Now, for real, it was time to head to the city bus terminal to find the Sword of the Association.
Just as I hailed a cab—
“Welcome aboard~.”
The very same taxi driver who had spit on me earlier had shown up to give me a ride.
“To the intercity bus terminal, please.”
“Sure thing~.”
While sitting in the back seat of the taxi, I made up my mind to get revenge for what had happened just a moment ago once we arrived at our destination.
I’ll show you what a real villain is.
…
“We’ve arrived. That’ll be 26,400 won.”
I had no intention of paying the fare.
Upon arriving at the intercity bus terminal with the taxi driver who had even having parked properly so I could get out easily, I decided to send him a message to stay unconscious for a bit.
“Stay still. If you don’t want to die.”
“……!!”
I reached from behind and wrapped my arm around his neck, intending to knock him out.
“Oh no…!!”
“Everyone get back!!!”
“Run!!!!”
“The taxi!!!!”
“?”
Suddenly, I heard screams from outside the window…
Thud—!
A large bus began to crash into the parked taxi.
Pfft—
The airbags deployed.
Rumble…
Even after slamming into the taxi, the bus didn’t stop and kept pushing us toward the wall.
“Waaaaaah!!”
Leaving behind the taxi driver, who had begun screaming in terror at the prospect of death,
I too was about to be crushed inside the vehicle as if under a hydraulic press.
Immediately, I lay my body sideways and, with my shoulder, braced against the bus as it crashed through the window.
“Huup…!”
I planted both feet against the building wall and began to push back against the advancing bus.
Rumble…
This wasn’t just a traffic accident with a speeding vehicle.
The thing compressing the taxi was a large bus with its brakes released. It continued to push forward without stopping.
Because of that, it had been relatively easy to stop the bus from crushing the taxi further.
“Phew…”
Now then, having survived an incident where I nearly got flattened like under a hydraulic press…
What was the next thing I needed to do?
That’s right.
I need to get out of here and fast.
In an accident like this, it was obvious that emergency services like 119 and 112 would arrive in no time.
And since I didn’t have any form of ID on me, staying here any longer would only increase the risk of being caught and having my identity exposed.
Just as I started to move my body and escape through the shattered window—
“Thank you, sir…! Thank you so much…!!”
My eyes met the taxi driver’s, who was on the verge of tears, thanking me for saving his life.
Crunch—
“Guh?!”
And since I hadn’t yet released my arm,
I figured, “Let this be a lesson in just how ruthless a villain I am.”
So I simply tightened my grip, knocking the taxi driver unconscious, and climbed out of the taxi to begin my escape from the intercity bus terminal.
“Wait…! You can’t just leave like that…!”
“I’m fine!”
“No…! We’re not fine…! Where are you going…!!”

[An ability user who saved a man, knocked him out, and fled the scene.]

As shown in the photo, a large bus with a broken parking brake suddenly began to speed toward a taxi carrying two passengers at an intercity bus terminal.
Because of this, the taxi ended up directly in the path of the bus. Normally, the passengers and driver inside would’ve been crushed like a hydraulic press.
Fortunately, one of the passengers in the back seat happened to be an ability user with supernatural strength.
Despite the bus charging in at a frightening speed with faulty brakes, the ability user managed to push it back with raw force, saving both their lives.
(Photo)
According to the taxi driver, the backseat passenger even shielded him with his own body during the whole thing to keep him from getting hurt.
Realizing he had survived, the taxi driver immediately turned to the passenger to thank him—
(Video)
—only for the backseat passenger to knock him out cold and run away.
Reportedly, the taxi driver remained unconscious for three hours…
…What the hell? Did I see that right?
He saves the guy, knocks him out, and runs off??
Protects him from injury only to injure him and flee????
What even is this???
This dude is seriously messed up, lol.
[Comments]
-: What the hell is this, some kind of tsundere? Lmao
ㄴ (OP): “I-It’s not like I saved you because I like you or anything! Don’t get the wrong idea!” (knocks him out)
ㄴ : Lololololol bro is acting like a full-on tsundere here
-: He saved him, but the gratitude was too much so he knocked him out
ㄴ : Ultra introvert energy lolol
ㄴ : Like… isn’t this too shy? Wtf Lmao
-: Using supernatural strength? Crazy? Just give this guy a role in Villain Hunter: Season 2.
ㄴ (OP): The title of “Villain Hunter” isn’t something to be handed out lightly.
ㄴ : Ah… I admit my mistake… Please spare me… Heuuung…♥
ㄴ (OP): Spare? You meant to correct your mistake, not plead for mercy.
ㄴ : Is this… that “defeated and pleasured” trope thing?
ㄴ (OP): You think???
-: Lolololololol this is peak chaotic good.
-: What even is this? It’s not “poison then cure”. It’s “cure then poison”? Like… did he at least steal something after knocking him out?
ㄴ (OP): Nah, he just ran when a crowd started forming.
ㄴ : Bro’s gotta be the most extreme introvert ever lololol. Save someone and then bolt? Lololol
-: This reminds me of that thought experiment: A train is about to run over a group of people tied to the tracks. You can pull a lever to save them. But if you do, you have to personally shake hands with and engage in small talk with each person you saved.
ㄴ: DIE!!!! Just let everyone die!!!!!
ㄴ : Pulled the lever and ran. Honestly, genius move.
-: ??? : “Hey… the only person allowed to hurt you is me, so don’t go getting hurt by anyone else, got it?”
ㄴ : Lololololol this is it lolololol. Protects the guy from the bus, knocks him out himself, and runs away like “Only I get to hurt you”
ㄴ : Goddamn it lolol. It’s even funnier because it actually makes sense lololol.
