Zero grasped the dagger in his right hand, looking at the dull design. 'He conned me by giving me the worst weapon available. 'Window, explain this knife.'
-Notice-
Would the Host like to pay <3020> souls to identify the weapon?
(Yes) (No)
Zero denied the window before simply sighing and moving towards the third floor. As he walked, he reached into the windows and pulled both the 15k souls out, as well as the Ability Token. Zero willed the ability Token to work on him, and he nearly tripped down the stairs as his entire body was overcome with pain, his mind nearly as bad as his whole body. The pain only lasted a minute before it disappeared and a window appeared.
-Notice-
Congratulation Host on acquiring their first Ability. Abilities are able to be fueled by either Mana, or Souls if the user doesn't have built Mana Channels.
Zero scoffed as he so clearly already had an ability. As he stood back up, another window appeared.
-Notice-
Ability-

The ability will use more souls or Mana depending on how far the target is from the Host. The Host must simply find a target and will the ability to activate for the ability to be activated.
Zero looked at the Window with distain. 'Hosts were showed how to use their abilities from the start?!' Zero huffed in annoyance as he continued to move up the stairs, only to find the third floor had more then eight Qwulvis creatures wondering around, and four of the no skinned creatures moving around as well. 'The gun fire must have drawn them all out of the stores and near the stairs, However I wonder why they didn't go up the stairs.' Zero started moving out from behind the railing to slowly move towards the stairs that led to fourth floor when a sudden gun shot sounded from above.
Due to the echoing of the shot, the sound came from the large open area right behind the stairs. Zero cursed as he turned and saw all eyes on him, each creature taking less then a second before they either lunged forward, or their tongues shot towards him. Zero gave up on the stealth version and started sprinting towards the stairs before turning and taking them two at a time. "Stop firing that stupid gun!" Zero shouted out as he ran up the stairs, only to be met with the view of eight of the Qwulvises walking towards the group, which was around 300 feet away from him near his stash.
Zero noticed the stash was noticeably smaller, which annoyed him as well as confirmed the information he had received from the Sponsor. Zero suddenly heard a muted scream, to which he looked to his side to find another Qwulvis. Zero materialized a whip before throwing it out at the creature. As the whip neared the creature, three different Qwulvis creatures jumped Infront of it. All three of the creatures were sliced in half before the whip made contact with the one hiding behind it, only to not cut it but instead throwing it backwards and into an empty shop.
"That one is smarter then the rest! It uses the others to shield itself from our bullets, and retreats when the total number drops bellow 7." Zero turned to find it was the smart one, and he was dressed in new clothes. Zero recognized the clothes, as he had packed them into the backpacks himself. "You take my Bags?" The man looked at Zero, a confused expression donning his face before it morphed into one of worry.
"Who cares if we took your bags! Kill the one eyed creature!" Zero broke eye contact with the smart one to look at Linda, who seemed to have gotten dumber through the days they had spent apart. Without warning, Zero created a whip out of four of his fingers before cutting off the legs of each of the creatures. The whip disappeared as Zero spoke. "Don't touch the creatures." Zero started walking towards the 'Smart' Qwulvis, only for Linda to speak again. "Quin, they are rolling! Kill them!"
There was a second before four gun shots sounded off. Zero stopped moving all together, before turning and looking at the creature that was now bleeding green blood onto the floor through eight different holes. Zero started moving, only this time it was towards the three. His fingers were rotating each other so fiercely he could feel a cramp starting. The smart one, which he figured was Quin, took a step back, only slower then Linda. "I told you not to touch them." Zero's hand went to rest on the hilt of the dagger, which he had slid the blade into his pocket.
When Zero's eyes landed on Linda, he saw stark fear on her face, before she blurted out. "Shoot him! He isn't human!" Zero looked at the two, taking note that each of them had a pistol in there hands. He noticed Josh was slowly raising his as Zero came closer and closer to the group. "I wouldn't do that if I were you two. This will all end with the girl, don't sacrifice yourself for her." "SHOOT HIM!" Linda screamed out as Zero made eye contact with her as he finished his words.
The shout snapped Josh into action, he raised his weapon and the sound of a gun shot echoed through the room before Quin could even say anything. Zero had already noted Quins hesitance to raise his gun at him, whether it was because of his smarts, or an inability to target a fellow human with the intent to kill, Zero didn't care.
