I Became an NPC That Rankers Are Obsessed Over

“…”

The sound of a lighter flicking came from the table.

It was a habit the Executor often displayed in the office.

Before long, the sound gradually faded.

Then, it completely disappeared.

Instead, the chair at the table moved.

“It seems like there’s no one here.”

The sound of her heels struck the concrete floor.

As that sound diminished, so did the fleeting hope in my heart.

Then, Jae-hee became even bolder in exploring my body.

Her fingers slipped between the bra.

And she kept kneading my stiff chest.

As if responding to the heated sensation, my breasts softened.

The idol girl exhaled sharply as if savoring the touch.

Perhaps lost in the pleasure, she inadvertently kicked the lime with her foot.

The Executor’s footsteps halted upon catching that fleeting sound.

Soon, her steps toward the counter grew louder.

It’s over.

Finally…

“—!”

That was when it happened.

The moment the inn’s front door shook noisily.

And the moment my faint hope completely collapsed.

The Executor stopped abruptly and looked toward the door.

In that instant, Jae-hee pulled me into a darker corner.

“Is it this place?”

It was a voice I recognized from my memory.

And I knew who it belonged to.

The man Jae-hee feared.

He entered the store accompanied by two men and women.

“This scent… it’s definitely our Jae-hee’s.”

The middle-aged assemblyman inhaled the scent filling the shop.

Then, he quivered as if in ecstasy.

“Sorry, but it seems today’s business has ended.”

The Executor spoke to them coldly.

“Is that so? It doesn’t matter. I don’t particularly have any business in such a cheap bar.”

The assemblyman acted nonchalantly as he loosened his tie.

“Then, what’s your business at the bar? Bringing along such fearsome Rankers.”

“I’m looking for someone. Someone a half-head shorter than you, younger, and more fragrant…”

“I haven’t seen anyone.”

The killer cut off the man’s crude description, seemingly disgusted.

“That can’t be. This scent is undoubtedly Jae-hee’s. Even amid this smoke, can’t you feel it?”

That’s right.

Now that I think about it, this insane fragrance must also be reaching the Executor standing right in the middle of it…

Why was she the only one unaffected?

“Is there such a thing? I don’t really know.”

The Executor leisurely lit her lighter.

Then held a straight cigarette in her mouth.

The assemblyman stepped boldly into the shop.

But he hesitated when he encountered the thick scent coming from the counter area.

Instead, he called out in a kindly tone.

“Jae-hee, it’s Assemblyman. I’ve come to take you back. It must have been hard after the CEO passed away.”

Speaking as if coaxing a small animal, he questioned Jae-hee, who curled up.

She was trembling.

“At this intensity, Jae-hee must be feeling really good. The girl emits a sweet peach scent when she’s excited.”

The assemblyman made a blissful expression, as if reminiscing about memories with her.

Then, he ordered the hunters to check behind the counter.

“Assemblyman, at this concentration, we can’t go in either.”

The Rankers—both male and female—refused in calm voices.

There was a sense of composure and professionalism about them.

“Good grief, Rankers…”

The assemblyman clicked his tongue as if in disappointment.

Instead, he asked the Executor, who was standing idly by.

“Can you check behind the counter for me? I believe she’s hiding under there.”

“Me?”

“If you find Jae-hee, there’s a reward in it for you.”

The assemblyman tiptoed and peeked desperately behind the counter.

But the Executor snorted as if the proposal was absurd.

It seemed the assemblyman didn’t know who he was dealing with.

She was a leader of Ilshim, someone the association watched so closely.

The Executor placed her cigarette stub on the counter.

Then leisurely leaned her head toward the area he mentioned.

“…?”

Soon, a black shadow loomed over me and Jae-hee.

Before long, I was face-to-face with the Executor I had so longed for.

I mouthed my plea.

“Save me.”

The Executor furrowed her brow at the sight.

Me, lying with my uniform completely undone.

The girl pressing her body against mine, her skirt half-off.

Her slender hand slipping inside my underwear.

Even for the killer Executor, the scene seemed bewildering.

When Jae-hee met the Executor’s red eyes, she hid her face behind my hair.

Then she pressed her body even closer to me, shyly covering her exposed chest.

The sensation of flesh brushing against me was unmistakable.

I shrank, feeling like I’d been caught watching an adult video by my older sister.

Even though I was clearly the victim.

The Executor responded by calmly relaxing her expression.

Then she lifted her head to look at the assemblyman.

“Is she there?”

The assemblyman asked with confident eyes.

But the killer’s response was entirely unexpected.

“No, there’s nothing.”

Her calm face caused the assemblyman to frown.

He completely loosened his already slack tie.

“This won’t do. I’ll check for myself.”

The assemblyman stepped into the shop hallway.

Then the Executor, with her drowsy red eyes, asked him.

“What time is it?”

At the sudden question, the assemblyman looked puzzled.

Then, perhaps remembering the watch on his arm, he lowered his head.

“It’s midnight?”

“The shop is closed. Come back tomorrow.”

At the Executor’s words, the assemblyman’s expression twisted.

“Then who are you to be here? Are you the owner of this place?”

“Well, since 80% of this place’s shares are already mine, I guess that makes me the owner.”

The Executor smiled faintly.

Seeing that smile, the assemblyman fell deep into thought.

Soon, his twisted face straightened.

He had realized her intent in rejecting him so indirectly over something that didn’t even concern her.

“Ah—so that’s how it is.”

He smiled faintly, just like the Executor.

“Women, you know, are truly difficult.”

The assemblyman removed his thick watch.

Then lightly tossed it onto the table.

“They always make things difficult, even when being honest could make things better.”

His sly voice turned unusually serious.

Almost like when he dealt with women in private rooms.

“Step aside.”

At the sound of that voice, Jae-hee hiccupped.

Thanks to that, the thickening pheromones began to dissipate.

In contrast, the Executor’s face remained calm.

Her red eyes stared straight at the assemblyman.

At the sight of that chilling hue, the assemblyman’s thick jaw quivered.

It was the first time he had seen such a grotesque gaze.

Her face was like that of a woman’s but with reptilian eyes embedded in it.

Yet, as a member of the Association, even he could not back down.

He raised his hand and signaled his bodyguard hunters.

After all, it was just one woman.

He believed himself better at handling women than anyone.

But that arrogant belief would end today.

Two hunters approached the Executor.

Though they flinched at the unpleasant scent, they soon focused on their opponent.

The man was a swordsman.

The woman, a spear fighter.

Both were Rankers.

“I remember now, those red eyes. Was it 85th place, the Executor?”

The swordsman asked.

“Association Rankers, huh? Leeching off a perverted assemblyman obsessed with minors. What a way to live.”

The Executor crossed her arms and ridiculed them.

At this, the spear-wielding woman cut in as if to counter her.

“Is there even such a thing as law left in this world?”

“Right, there isn’t. Thanks to that, people like me can live quite comfortably.”

The Executor smirked with satisfaction and shrugged.

The two Rankers charged forward.

They aimed to subdue the insolent 85th-place Ranker.

The swordsman’s blade aimed for the Executor’s head.

The spearwoman’s weapon lunged toward her side.

Yet, the Executor didn’t move.

She simply stared straight at their trajectory as they rushed at her.

In that fleeting moment.

Someone dropped from the ceiling, stomping on the sword.

Another figure emerged from the ground, grabbing the spear.

“Yes, I’m a lower-tier Ranker, 85th place.”

The Executor placed her hand over her face.

Then she gripped her facial features tightly.

She clawed at her own flesh.

And a familiar face came into view.

It was the face of a man Anna had once slashed in a single stroke.

From the start, the Executor had not come here in person.

“But what if all of my dolls were Rankers too?”

The soft voice of a woman came from the man’s face.

That eerie mismatch sent chills through the shop.

Ranking: Formerly 61st place.

Occupation: Association-affiliated killer.

Ranking: Formerly 67th place.

Occupation: Association-affiliated raid tank.

Ranking: Formerly 68th place.

Occupation: Association-affiliated boxing champion.

They all had died in the war between Ilshim and the Association.

And now, they had become the Executor’s flesh puppets.

The reason she hadn’t reacted to Jae-hee’s pheromones.

That was because this wasn’t the real Executor but a human dummy.

The Rankers’ faces twisted entirely.

They all recognized the Executor’s dolls.

“Dae-hyuk…?”

The swordsman asked the dummy rising from the ground.

But the dummy gave no answer.

The spearwoman was no different.

She raised her visor, seemingly unable to believe the boxer in front of her.

The two Rankers faced the grotesque corpses of their former comrades, stitched together from flesh.

“Well, it seems like everyone’s familiar with each other.”

Seok-hyun, mimicking the real Executor, said with a grin.

He knew them, after all.

Ilshim and the Association had clashed countless times, so the Association’s Rankers had been thoroughly investigated.

And she had been collecting the bodies of the Association Rankers she killed.

“But it’s strange. If they were your comrades, where were you when they died?”

Seok-hyun asked with a faint smile.

The Rankers gave no reply.

They merely glared at Seok-hyun with resentful eyes.

Even though he wasn’t the real Executor.

In response, Seok-hyun spoke again.

Boldly.

“You probably abandoned them and fled the battlefield, didn’t you?”

At those words, the Rankers lost their composure.

They charged at the advancing dummies.

Seok-hyun gestured like a conductor leading an orchestra.

At his signal, the flesh puppets twisted their bodies and charged as if dancing.

Toward the comrades who had abandoned them.
