I Became the Head of Returners Gallery

Flutter—
Noran tore off the wanted poster with her face on it.
[Reward: 100 million won]
[Wanted: Hunter Serial Killer (Returnee)]
[Cheon No-ran (20 years old), born September 1, 2004]
[Description: Height 166cm, slender build, red eyes, black hoodie with black school uniform skirt, carrying D-class hunter blade, Seoul accent]
[Special note: Possesses supreme level power (above S-class hunter).]
[Case summary: Returned from Murim on 01.24.23, attempted murder of Hero in Seoul Hunter Association, killed 30 hunters including A-class hunter Kim OO]
[Report to: 112 (no area code)
Seoul Hunter Association: 02-XXX-XXXX, 010-XXXX-XXXX]
Crunch!
She crumpled the wanted poster with her face on it.
If it were ordinary paper, she would have attached it to a pile of newspapers to use as a blanket.
“This one has not killed anyone since returning to her homeland.”
Drip— drip.
Fresh blood dripped from the blade she was holding.
“Urgh… Murim Merit, you bitch… You think you’ll get away with trying to kill the Hero…”
The hunter cut by her blade cursed Noran.
“Foolish child.”
Shing—
She wiped the blood off with a newspaper and sheathed her sword.
Whoosh—
Noran used her lightness skill to scale the wall and cross the building rooftop.
On her way back from selling the phone, she was tailed again.
The only way to shake off a tail was to subdue them.
Even if blood was spilled, even if she had to hear their curse-filled resentment.
She ran and ran to her cardboard box bed in front of Exit 4 of Jonggak Station, which she frequently used.
No hunter with flight skills could catch up to her, who had reached the realm of manifestation.
‘Hunter children put too much faith in their status windows and skills. When truly in crisis, all you can trust is your own body.’
After confirming she had lost her pursuers, Noran pulled her hood over her head and sat on a stack of cardboard boxes.
When she pulled down her hood, a foul smell of sweat mixed with cigarette butts from the street stung her nose.
Rustle—
“One, two, three…”
There were fifty 10,000 won bills, probably withdrawn in a hurry.
“Usually people withdraw 50,000 won bills.”
This was actually better for Noran.
Many people became suspicious when a girl who looked like a runaway teenager handed over 50,000 won bills.
‘Still… I feel sorry for the spare phone buyer whose leg was broken for no reason.’
The sky was already getting dark.
Noran recalled the man she met earlier in the day.
A man dressed similarly to how she was when she first returned.
She covered herself with newspaper and closed her eyes for a moment.
‘There was a time when this one had a home too.
…Though I’m not sure if [that place] could be called a home.’
Then she turned on the Returnee Gallery and reminisced about when she was first summoned to another world.
*
‘Murim Merit’ Cheon Noran was suddenly summoned to Murim when she was a first-year in high school, a blossoming seventeen by her own reckoning.
While returning home from school, she collapsed, and when she opened her eyes, she was lying on an altar covered in blood with a pungent iron smell.
[I can’t move my body…!]
She tried to get up to assess the situation, but Noran couldn’t rise.
She was tied with ropes that had bizarre talismans attached.
[Blood church arrives! Blood world rules! Blood world blood blood world!]
Looking around, she saw strange people wearing clothes reminiscent of historical dramas raising their arms and chanting.
[Wh-where is this…]
[Are you awake?]
When she lifted her head, an old woman was looking at her.
[Is this the girl.]
[Yes, Exalted One.]
A subordinate next to her bowed respectfully and answered.
[This girl will be the new vessel for this lady.]
Satisfied with the subordinate’s answer, the old woman held Noran’s chin and swallowed her saliva.
[Child from another world, know that it is an honor to offer your body to this one. Begin the reincarnation ritual now!]
[By your command!]
[No—!]
Noran was lucky.
As soon as the Blood Church disciples loosened her restraints for the ritual, she instinctively reached out and cut the throat of a disciple trying to grab her.
Slash!
[I, I killed someone…]
Before Noran could process the shock of her first kill.
[N-no! The barrier, the spell for this lady’s reincarnation is breaking!]
The one called Exalted One clutched her head and screamed.
The alien inner energy that the otherworlder Noran possessed accidentally destroyed the barrier for the reincarnation ritual, and Noran’s innate Heavenly Killing Star power sliced through the church members trying to stop her.
The old woman pointed her staff at Noran and screamed.
[Catch that girl! Catch her and make her kneel before this lady!]
[By your command!]
Thud—
The Blood Church members came after her, even using lightness skills.
No matter how much of a Heavenly Killing Star possessor she was, Noran, who had been an ordinary high school girl, couldn’t shake off their pursuit.
[Don’t come…]
[Be still!]
[Don’t come—!]
Just as the Blood Church members were about to pounce on Noran, a gentle woman’s voice was heard from somewhere in her head or heart.
『Do you want to kill?』
*
“Hwaak!”
Having had a nightmare about the past after a long time, her head began to throb.
Kiing—
The fragments of the Heavenly Killing Star in her eyes emitted madness.
And the woman’s voice spoke to her again.
『It’s been a while, Noran! So… do you want to kill?』
“Silence. This one will no longer be played by you!”
『Liar. While wanting to kill… kik kik.』
Noran covered her ears, but the voice continued to be heard.
『Let’s kill them. Let’s kill them. They killed your family and are living happily. Kill them and be at ease!』
But thanks to the gallery screen appearing before her eyes, she was able to stop her hand that was about to draw her sword in a trance.
