MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

“So this is the Wind Capital? It’s so… So big.”

An exhausted Pink Girl riding Pink Pig stood before the Wind Capital’s gates, looking idly into the city.

“I’m finally here, will… Will he see me?”

Every time Pink Girl thought of that person, she got both anxious and excited. With her hands shaking, she steeled her resolve as she sent a friend request message to him.

“Hello, my name is Pink Girl. Can I add you as a friend? ;)” The message even had a smiley face attached to it.

Soon, the other party accepted the friend request and replied, “Pink Girl? What kinda thing is that?”

“I’m not a thing, I’m a player from the Western Continent. I’ve been admiring you for a long time, so I’ve personally come over to see you.”

“Admiring me for a long time? What do you mean?”

“It… just… just means that I like you.” Pink Girl was a bit bashful.

“So you fell for moi?”

“Cough cough…

“Can I meet with you? I’m at the Wind Capital right now.”

“I’m not at Wind Capital. I ain’t going back to that place no more. If you wanna find me, come to Little Pinewood.”

“Little Pinewood?”

“The coordinates are 2222222: 2222222!”

“Oh, okay. I’ll be there right away.

“Yay, I did it!”

Pink Girl cheerfully did a victory pose before riding Pink Pig towards the coordinates.

On a green grassy field in a luscious pinewood, a sleazy young man wielding two cleavers was looking straight up at the sky, recreating a classic pose.

His attire was quite badass. He wore a white robe whilst sporting a cool-looking hairstyle similar to Yagami’s (TN: Reference to King of Fighters character Iori Yagami, https://snk.fandom.com/wiki/Iori_Yagami) fringe. He was even wearing a green-colored cape behind his back with the golden words “Legend is Me” embroidered on it.

The green cape originally did not have any words on it. It was merely an average quality cape. However, this person spent 50,000 Gold and had someone embroider those three words onto the cape. Others could not understand the meaning behind his actions, he was the only one who understood.

“Leader Scum, embroidering words onto equipment won’t increase the equipment’s attributes. So why did you spend so much money to make this whole outfit?”

“Myths will one day die off, but legends never die. It’s not something you’d understand.”

In the eight years King of Pantheon had been running, there were not many people who could be that prideful. Furthermore, there were even fewer people who could perfectly be both a wannabe and a moron. Who else could it be, other than Huashan’s one and only Scumbag Wang?

Pink Girl rode Pink Pig over to the coordinates. As she saw Scumbag Wang, her little heart started beating faster and faster. She was so excited that she almost started screaming.

If one were to describe Pink Girl’s appearance, it would definitely be the classic stereotypical cute girl look. Her entire body looked perfectly cute to the point where she looked like a doll from afar. Compared to her, Wang’er’s looks were an absolute nightmare.

He had a long and thin face, coupled with a completely perverse mind. It was still fine if he did not open his mouth, but he had the uncanny ability to make anyone want to smack him within just three sentences.

“Brother Wang…”

Pink Girl sweetly called out towards Scumbag Wang. Scumbag wang lightly nodded before doing a dashing hair flip, turning around and smiling at Pink Girl.

In reality, this smile of Scumbag Wang could send a chill down the spine of even the most powerful of supernatural beings. Even a crying kid would stop crying from the fear induced from his smile. It was as ugly as anyone could possibly imagine. To put it in layman’s terms, he looked like the White Deity that lures souls to the Underworld… (TN: Refers to the White Guard of the Black and White Impermanence in Chinese Taoist religious mythology. See: https://goo.gl/images/r7HdCE (right) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heibai_Wuchang)

When a human being smiled, it was a sign of friendliness. However, when Scumbag Wang smiled, it made people want to kill themselves…

“How cool.”

For some reason that a sane person could never hope to understand, Pink Girl was completely enamored by Scumbag Wang. It was at the point where her two cute eyes looked like they had turned into little stars. If Windcloud Nine Sister were by her side, she would mercilessly label her with a single word – obsessed!

“You said you liked me?” Scumbag Wang rubbed his chin as he walked up to Pink Girl.

“Mm, mmm… Mmhmm.” Pink Girl was so starstruck that she forgot her words. She could only nod her head furiously.

“He has a pair of strong and hunky biceps and a broad chest. He may not be tall, but he has a sharp gaze, just like two fireflies in shining in the night sky… He’s so brilliant, so outstanding. There’s also his scruffy and patchy mustache, seemingly trimmed by the gods themselves. And that proud opening line. Every part of him fully captivates me… He’s the great Scumbag Wang of the Eastern Continent, the second-in-charge of the Huashan Guild, the prince charming of my dreams…”

Pink Girl was mumbling to herself. At this point in time, she was the happiest woman in the world.

A long long time ago, when Pink Girl was browsing the official forums, she inadvertently came across a clip of Scumbag Wang arguing with someone. She started taking note of Wang’er at that point. After some deep digging into the forums, she found every action that this man took to be so utterly charming, Unconsciously, she had started to focus on the very image of this man as her ideal prince charming…

This was something any sane human would not be able to wrap their heads around, but to Pink Girl, this was her sincere feelings. As they say, different strokes for different folks. No one knew how Scumbag Wang managed to hit the jackpot of romance, having a cutie like Pink Girl confessing to him.

Scumbag Wang walked towards Pink Girl. Originally, he was moving in a very charming fashion, flipping his hair every few steps. It was almost charming enough for people to ignore that long and ugly mug of his. However, right as he saw Pink Girls cute little face, he could not help but lick his lips. His hand reached into his pants as he grabbed his crotch a couple of times.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Wang’er.” Scumbag Wang pulled his hand out of his pants and reached out for a handshake.

Pink Girl was stunned as she automatically shook his hand.

“What a soft little hand you’ve got there.” Once Scumbag Wang grabbed on to Pink Girl’s hand, he did not let go. The two had already added each other as friends, so the restriction between male and female contact had already been lifted.

“Can… Can you let go of me first?” Pink Girl was a bit shy.

Scumbag Wang spat on the ground in dissatisfaction as he replied, “Didn’t you say you liked me? Then why are you afraid of a little touching?”

“No… I didn’t mean it like that, I…” Pink Girl got even more shy and anxious.

“Then take off your pants.”

“What?” Pink Girl thought that she misheard his reply.

“I said take off your pants! Didn’t you want to be my f*ck buddy? I need to test the goods first.”

“I… I didn’t…” Pink Girl felt like she was struck by lightning, she was completely shocked at that point.

The prince charming image she had of Scumbag Wang slowly started to crumble…

“I get it now.”

Scumbag Wang pinched Pink Girl’s face. He violently pulled her cheeks apart, nearly causing her to cry out in pain. She was using the Full-Nutrient Gaming Setup, her body could feel all the sensations up to a 99% level of realism.

“Get what?”

Scumbag Wang jumped up and lashed out his arm outwards, smacking Pink Girl right in the face. The impact was enough to make Pink Girl spin around like a corkscrew for two whole rounds. She was completely stunned.

“You… Why did you hit me…” Pink Girl was already at the verge of tears.

Scumbag Wang turned around and pointed at his green cape, “See these three words behind my back?

“Legend is Me! Do you even know what’s a legend?”

Pink Girl shook her head, she truly did not know.

“With your IQ level, you’d be better off hanging out with Fengxi.” Scumbag Wang sighed. He jumped up once more, once again smacking Pink Girl in the face.

“Slap!”

“Bwaaa——” Pink Girl was in so much pain that she started sobbing out loud. Her heart shattered along with the perfect image of her prince charming in her heart. She turned around and started running away.

“To think someone would dare to pull a honey trap on a legend like moi. The Western Continent tacticians must be f*cking dumb*sses.”

Scumbag Wang loudly roared as he Charged at Pink Girl. With furious slashing of his dual-wield cleavers, he quickly left Pink Girl dead on the ground.

“Don’t blame me for being merciless to a girl like you. If you would’ve just taken off your pants earlier, even if I knew that it was a honey trap, I would’ve still fell for it.”

Scumbag Wang made a stylistic sad pose and let out a long sigh.

“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!”

A wave of applause started ringing from behind his back. Scumbag Wang’s lackeys all appeared, giving him praise.

“Leader Scum is such a great strategist, I’m so impressed.”

“Leader Scum, you’re so f*cking ruthless. Just now when listening to this chick speak, I really thought she fell for you. I’m still no match for you, being able to see through this b*tch’s trickery in an instant.”

“Hahahahahaha…” Scumbag Wang let out a hearty laugh, causing his lackeys to be stunned.

“Leader Scum, why are you laughing?”

“Do you know what’s a legend?”

“I… I know… But I only know a little.” The lackey answering him chose his words carefully. He was afraid he would be sent to Fengxi.

Scumbag Wang asked, “Let me ask you, is Windcloud Nine Brother ruthless?”

“Yes.”

“And who did he die at the hands of?” Scumbag Wang waved around the cleavers in his hands.

“Unending Unmatched, Dark Wing, and you, Leader Scum.”

“Hahahahahahahaha…” Scumbag Wang started laughing once more. This time, his entire crew also laughed along with him.

“Do you still not understand?”

The group of lackeys all looked at each other, no one daring to even utter a word.

“That’s fine. I, Leader Scum, held onto a tender and soft hand today, so I’m in a pretty good mood right now. So, let me tell you guys.

“This bastard, Windcloud Nine Brother, he’s a guy who holds his grudges. Look at Unending Unmatched who’s been destroyed by him. But, he still has two other nails in his eyes, two motherf*cking thorns in his side!”

“Leader Scum, I get it now!” Lonely Perfume raised his hand up to speak. He was one of the smartest lackeys Scumbag Wang had.

“Speak!”

“Windcloud Nine Brother couldn’t beat you, so he had to resort to a honey trap!”

“Bingo…” Scumbag Wang nodded in agreement.

“F*cking hell, what a sly bastard Windcloud Nine Brother is. But he’s no match for Leader Scum’s wits.”

“That’s right, without Leader Scum’s hints, we wouldn’t even understand all these profound things even if it took our entire lifetimes.”

“Leader Scum, your IQ is too damn high. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart.”

With the lackeys continuously kissing up his *ss, Scumbag Wang was naturally on cloud nine. Pink Girl, who was lying flat on the ground, remained speechless as she cried a thousand tears. A thousand dreams she had created of her prince charming was instantly shattered.

“Boohooohooo… Why did it turn out like this? This must be a dream, boohoohooo…”

“Let’s go, brothers! Drinks are on me!”

With a wave of his hand, Scumbag Wang led his crew off as he walked off showered in cheers.

Once Pink Girl corpse ran back, she surveyed the surroundings. When she saw that there was no one around, she quickly revived.

Instantly, several attacks all hit her at once, not letting Pink Girl to even react to the situation. She was insta-killed on the spot.

“Leader Scum’s plan was amazing, how merciless!”

“Smart, this is too smart!”

“This is called drawing the snake out of its nest.”

“More like drawing the snake out of my *ss. This is called playing cat and mouse.” Scumbag Wang’s hearty voice rang out.

“Leader Scum is so wise, so knowledgeable…”

Listening to the conversation afar, Pink Girl realized that Scumbag Wang and his posse had not left. They were camping her body.

As tears flowed down Pink Girl’s face, she thought of a song.

“You said to me in tears, that Fairy Tales are all full of lies, he could never be your prince…” (TN: These are the lyrics from the song referenced in the title.)
