The thug led Amir into an unnamed, empty tavern. A lone bartender maintained her focus on spotlessly wiping the beer mugs. Unlike the thug who was covered with pink rags, the bartender wore an extravagant pink dress adorned with diamonds. Fine hairs sprouted from her chin and chest. Her arms were as thick as Amir's thighs. You could spend days counting the number of chins she had. Her Adam's apple was-

I'm in the right place.

Amir sat on a bar stool opposite the tranny while the thug joined the bartender over the counter. Goldilocks chose to remain standing near a large beer keg.

"Where is the leader?" Amir slammed his fist onto the table. First impressions were very important.

Fuck, that hurts!

The tranny's eyes darted towards Amir's face. Then, it slowly crept down towards his chest.

"That would be me," she said while licking her thick rouge lips. "What business do you have with me, handsome?"

Amir ignored her lascivious advances, "I was looking for a teacher to help me level. I recently awaked the Thug class, so I came right here. I heard you were the best."

[Bluff] - Active

"Oh, you flatter me," her voice reminded Amir of a cheese grater, "They call me the Harem Queen, and you?"

Amir considered introducing himself as the Harem King. Something told him that he should never do that.

"Amir," that was sufficient.

"Amiiiiiir, that's so cuuuute!" The Harem Queen leaned forward to reveal a chest flatter than a chopping board. Her breathing became disorderly in order to accentuate her non-existent chest.

[Seduction] - Failed!

"I'll cut right to it. Teach me the fastest way to level up. Money isn't an issue," Amir kept a stoic face. Truth was, he wanted to throw up. He would rather be mounted by King than by this monstrosity. His XP rocketed at the thought of getting pegged by the Harem Queen.

"Before that, why don't you have some beer?" the tranny filled a mug to the brim. At least half of the mug was foam. Definitely not normal.

Amir accepted the mug and passed it to Goldilocks.

"Drink it," Amir ordered. This was a test of trust between himself and the tranny.

"Your Highness, it could be-"

"DRINK IT!" Goldilocks guzzled the drink faster than top tier prostitutes.

"Now, can you tell me?" Amir tapped impatiently on the bar counter.

"How about some food?" the Harem Queen pushed. Amir's impatience only grew. Goldilocks was probably poisoned, now they wanted to poison him as well! Amir was confident his genetic superiority would allow him to dominate these two thugs in combat. But if both he and Goldilocks were knocked out...

"I could always find someone better," Amir rose, suggesting his departure.

"OK! Sit down. Don't be hasty, handsome. I'll teach you," fake tears cascaded down the tranny's cheeks.

How vile.

The tranny pondered for a minute.

"From my experience... the best way to level up would be mass murder. The Thug Class gains XP by bullying others and getting bullied. The former method is our mantra. We take it to the extreme," the tranny divulged while scratching her crotch. "Your XP scales with the strength of your victim. Beating a little girl provides negligible XP. Beating little boys is the same, but MUCH more satisfying."

The tranny was ecstatic. She seemed to recall pleasant memories of her escapades. Amir felt her gaze land on his crotch for a split second.

"Can you teach me any combat skills?" Amir asked. How was he going to pummel Ophelia without a combat skill? He couldn't borrow King's power anymore.

"Hmmm.... It's not strictly a combat skill, but everyone in the Pink Claw knows a Skill called Cheap Shot. It lets you detect an enemy's weak spot," the Harem Queen's eyes flickered towards Goldilocks before resting back on Amir. "But your bodyguard... is unique."

"Oh, him? He's not my bodyguard."

"He sure isn't," the tranny cryptically replied.

THUD!

Amir swivelled around to see Goldilocks sprawling on the floor in a pool of blood. A burly figure in a pink outfit held a blood-stained mace above his head. He swung the heavy metal at the lifeless corpse.

CRACK!

Fragments of skull bone sprayed like shrapnel in all directions. A piece grazed Amir's right cheek.

Damn. I hope Goldilocks didn't have a disease.

"Goldilocks, get up!"

Of course, there was no reply. "You bastards killed my mount!" Amir fumed. He dashed towards the exit.

Don't worry Goldilocks... I will avenge you. I promise to take your mother in as Harem Member 2. If you are lucky, you may be reborn as our daughter.

Amir always kept his promises.

But the Prince was an idiot. He misjudged his distance from Goldilocks' corpse and instead of stepping on his head, he tripped over it.

He saw images of his Father, Leilah and King. The image that burned brightest though was of Ophelia's bruised face.

Is this my life flashing before my eyes? Sorry Ophelia.

Amir embraced his death. The Harem King would surely be reborn.

Legends never die.

***

"Hold him down," it was the familiar voice of a cheese grater.

Two thugs firmly clasped a small child's arms against the bar counter. A metallic scent tickled the tastebuds of the thugs. A nude man caked in makeup towered over the small child's body. It was the spitting image of David and Goliath. The man had a flat chest and obese frame. His drool fell drop by drop onto his sagging belly that covered his jewels.

Is this the afterlife?

Amir's eyes fluttered open.

The first thing he saw was a large piece of flesh almost pressed against his body. Despite being so close to someone, he felt incredibly cold. A slight breeze caused his sack to shrivel.

Motherfucker! Where are my pants!

The tranny's hot breath kissed Amir's lips and her hand spun circles on his chest. Amir knew his fate was sealed.

"You're awake, handsome," the Harem Queen said while lifting her mountain of belly fat. Underneath all that flesh, two small peas and a worm greeted Amir.

It was then that a miracle occurred. Amir's testicles ascended back into his body and his shaft shrunk to a miniscule size. All that remained was a smooth patch of skin.

"I wish I could do that," a pang of envy was evident in the Harem Queen's voice. She had considered a sex change operation, but was not willing to bear with the pain. Anaesthetics were expensive.

Stop spreading my legs!

This was the first time in his life that Amir felt true fear. His body locked up and he was frozen in place. In his mind, he replayed a scene of the chubby tranny pummelling him in different positions. In all fourteen million scenarios, there was only one where he escaped with his asshole intact.

Amir saw a faint pink ribbon winding its way towards the tranny. It circled her body for a split second before pointing towards her peas.

Amir flexed every fibre in his body. He was charging up a legendary move never before seen in the history of Cloud Continent.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

"It's great that you're resisting," the Harem Queen's worm reached for the sky.

BOOOOM!

Amir's inverted member emerged from his body like a butterfly hatching from a cocoon. It pierced the tranny's peas like a hot knife through butter.

AHHHHHHHH!

The ugly bastard's eyes rolled over as she went into shock. Her enormous body fell backwards with a thud.

"Darling!" the men in the room shouted in unison. From the outside, the Pink Claw Gang appeared normal. However, all the members were male and were engaged in an intimate relationship with the Harem Queen.

Thuk! Thuk! Thuk! Thuk!

Amir didn't know when, but suddenly the heads of the gang members had started to roll. Who had come to save him?

"Your Highness, are you alright!" Goldilocks' voice was angelic.

Did I die from shock? Is this heaven?

"I thought you had died."

"Forgive this one, Your Highness, but that is impossible. How can the Hero die?"

Amir passed out a second time.
