And the answer is, drumroll please!
It’s Shy Heart!
Objectively speaking, the mental state of the Rank 1 Magical Girl, Pink Star, was shattered.
The primary reason stemmed from her having begun her life as a Magical Girl at an exceptionally young age.
A long, long time ago, in a country called Heonguk, eight-year-old Pink Star lost her family and friends, consumed by an all-encompassing desire for revenge.
For the first ten years, she tore apart every Titan she encountered.
Even after thirty years, she continued to fight.
Fifty years, sixty years… eighty years.
Though she had long surpassed the lifespan of a human, Pink Star remained actively engaged in battle.
Her mind, however, was not as resilient.
By the time the number of Titans she had ripped apart reached five digits…
She was utterly exhausted.
Perhaps it was due to an overproduction of dopamine and adrenaline, or perhaps some anomaly had occurred in her brain.
No one could truly know the reason, as the bodies of Magical Girls had never been dissected.
‘Ah… that really relieves the stress.’
When her active period reached ninety years, Pink Star suddenly disappeared.
She created a sanctuary in an utterly inaccessible place and secluded herself within its confines.
Subsequently, she began engaging in role-playing activities anonymously to alleviate her stress.
‘What should I write about next?’
This extreme behavior arose from an intrinsic desire to reclaim the stolen innocence of her childhood.
Shame, it seemed, was a sensation she had long since forgotten.
[AnonymousSomeone(12.31): Senior…]
[AnonymousSomeone(113.11): People who know the owner of this nickname:]
–[AnonymousSomeone(42.11): –K]
Even with her identity half-exposed, Pink Star did not cease her so-called role-playing.
Instead, she made her posts even more uncomfortable to read.
‘Hehehe… scared, are they?’
Though she had initially started this persona due to the sense of loss from her childhood, Pink Star now genuinely began to enjoy it.
It wasn’t merely about finding amusement in being cursed at while hidden behind anonymity, as she had in the past.
Her enjoyment now stemmed from watching the much younger Magical Girls active in the Magical Girl Gallery feel fear when they saw her posts.
With her twisted beliefs and mental state, she found both amusement and interest in others fearing her.
‘Fear me, you imbeciles!’
The fame she had accumulated as a Rank 1 Magical Girl felt false to her.
The public truly hailed her as a hero, rather than genuinely fearing her power.
Pink Star wished to become a true object of dread.
‘…What in the world is this ‘Jara-jwa’ character?’
It was then that Pink Star discovered her post had been instantly buried.
[AnonymousSomeone(23.11): Breaking news, breaking news, holy shit breaking news!!!]
High-grade Titan Jara-jwa subjugated LOL
Comments
[Iron: Is this real?]
[YouDoIt: Whoa, holy crap, that’s insane ㄷㄷㄷ]
[HeartFlutterSweet: Looks like everyone who deployed just wasted their time ㄷ But isn’t a high-grade Titan supposed to be pretty strong?]
–[AnonymousSomeone(23.11): It was a 10m monster, but they took it down easily.]
Pink Star’s delicate brows furrowed. The realization that she could no longer evoke revulsion in strangers inflicted a significant amount of mental stress upon her.
‘This has been annoying me for a while now.’
Believing that the attention she had finally garnered was being stolen, she irritably manipulated her mouse. She had just been receiving such pleasant attention, yet…
‘This is endless.’
Pink Star, who had been enjoying a sense of psychological gratification, immediately resolved to eliminate this ‘Jara-jwa’ character who was making her feel so utterly disgusted.
[RingTeaLover: Seriously, I got curious about what Jara-jwa was and looked it up, LOL, what the f***?]
Was that a Titan’s name? Are you guys even actually Magical Girls? This is genuinely astounding.
First, Pink Star logged into her pre-prepared Magical Girl Gallery accounts, switching between them.
‘I filled these with posts and comments beforehand, just for this day.’
Pink Star currently possessed ten Magical Girl Gallery accounts. She had painstakingly filled each one with dozens of comments and posts.
If an account that had never posted suddenly appeared, it would arouse suspicion, making public opinion manipulation difficult.
‘You messed with the wrong person.’
[ZeroWriter: But seriously, all the people praising them are just anonymous users, aren’t they?]
[TitanVirginSlayer: Seeing these damned newcomers praise Titans, it looks like they haven’t been beaten enough by their seniors.]
[WomanSol: The name Jara-jwa is hilarious too ㅋㅋ]
She consecutively uploaded posts filled with malicious comments about ‘Jara-jwa.’ Even she considered them truly vicious.
She then meticulously filled these posts with upvotes, changing her IP address for each.
[AnonymousSomeone(12.11): Still, posting Titan praise is a bit much.]
As Pink Star’s uploaded posts were successively registered as trending posts, public opinion gradually began to shift.
“It should have been like this from the start, damn it!”
The Rank 1 Magical Girl, who had unconsciously cheered at the screen, decided to open her cherished bottle of wine.
‘Indeed, forum activities are always fun, no matter when I do them.’
For a Magical Girl who had spent decades living solely for combat and revenge, ordinary pastimes were utterly tedious.
The Magical Girl Gallery was, for her, the most intriguing element of all.
Though she had initially started using the site merely to cultivate her lacking communication skills, it had, at some point, become an intrinsic part of her life.
‘Just stay like this….’
*CRASH!*
The moment she attempted to uncork her cherished wine, she unintentionally applied too much force, shattering the bottle.
[AnonymousSomeone(11.34): Hey, I heard Jara-jwa subjugated Tiamat?]
Yet again, an irksome act had occurred.
****
Park Hyunseong was intensely curious about the full extent of his abilities.
Having easily dealt with a Rank 3 Magical Girl, it seemed he possessed the skill to effortlessly subdue even high-grade Titans.
Though Park Hyunseong, with his strong civilian tendencies, was usually hesitant to risk his life…
[Titan, transforming into Garuda.]
Upon acquiring such immense power, he had become proactively engaged.
Soaring at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound, Hyunseong pierced the body of a 10-meter-tall giant.
Attacks derived from speed were invariably effective. Garuda’s primary offensive strategy utilized this powerful physical phenomenon, and the form also possessed the durability to withstand such impacts.
[GROOOOAAAAAH-!]
Despite its belly being pierced and its internal organs spilling out, the Titan did not perish. This was already anticipated.
[Titan, transforming into Behemoth.]
Immediately after changing his form, Hyunseong dropped from dozens of meters in the air, smashing the Titan’s upper body with his fist. Flesh mixed with bone fragments scattered in all directions.
‘A high-grade Titan is no match for me.’
The 10-meter Titan was powerful enough to devastate an entire city, yet Hyunseong’s strength surpassed it.
‘Roughly speaking, in terms of sheer power, am I equivalent to a high-grade Titan?’
Though he couldn’t precisely quantify his strength, Hyunseong felt that his power was far greater than he had imagined.
[I S H A L L E X E C U T E T H E T R A I T O R]
A black mass enveloped the entire sky.
It was so colossal that, for a moment, Hyunseong mistook it for the onset of night.
[Entity ‘Tiamat’ has appeared!]
[Tiamat is a high-grade Titan that suddenly emerged 100 years ago, annihilating London and Paris!]
[However, Tiamat is too old! It is now nothing more than a uselessly colossal relic!]
[Subjugate Tiamat to acquire BP!]
Even witnessing the Titan he had only seen in textbooks, Hyunseong showed no surprise. Instead, an inexplicable competitive spirit surged within him.
Soon, Hyunseong’s negative emotions subsided beneath the surface. His consciousness was now dominated by a primal instinct for destruction.
‘I don’t know why that thing appeared now, but…’
He had no choice but to kill it.
[Titan, transforming into Garuda.]
Spreading two massive wings, Hyunseong soared upward, gazing at the immensely vast body.
Tiamat, with a body length of 100 meters, truly evoked the mythical dragons it was named after.
However, their compatibility was poor.
[D I E, T R A I T O R !]
As befitting a high-ranking Titan, Tiamat, capable of speech, opened its maw wide to unleash the breath that had devastated Paris.
Compared to Garuda’s speed, it was infinitely slow. Hyunseong, already flying at supersonic speeds, used that velocity to pierce its body.
A hole barely two meters wide. Compared to the 100-meter behemoth, it was infinitesimally small. To put it in perspective of a 175cm human body, it was like a 3.5cm hole.
[Y-you… you fiend!]
However, just as a 9x19mm Parabellum bullet, roughly 19mm in length, could kill a human…
Hyunseong’s body, spinning at supersonic speed as it burrowed into Tiamat, churned its internal organs.
[S-stop it!]
Tiamat, also known as the Nightmare of Paris, realized something was terribly wrong with its body, but it was already too late.
*CRUNCH!*
Hyunseong’s body, shattering the hard carapace and shooting skyward, was drenched in blood. Indeed, the Titan’s vitality was extraordinary, its very structure different from ordinary organisms.
[Titan, transforming into Behemoth.]
In that case, he had no choice but to proceed as before. Transforming into Behemoth, a form specialized in close-quarters combat, Hyunseong clenched his fist and descended, slamming it into the Titan’s back.
*CRACK!* The spine that formed its body snapped. The aged Titan, assaulted by an enemy dozens of times smaller than itself, was defeated without any means of retaliation.
[Elderly Titan subjugated!]
[Acquiring 50 BP!]
[Users of the Magical Girl Gallery are cheering for your heroic efforts!]
Upon seeing the rising message, Hyunseong regained his composure.
Users were cheering? What was this…
[Hacking the real-time satellite system, your heroic efforts have been streamed to the Magical Girl Gallery relay system!]
[45 BP added!]
[Current Points: 300 BP]
Regardless, an enormous amount of points had accumulated.
