Tanji gains a floating pop-up right under his phone.

[SUDDEN QUEST: First Mission. Succeed in the first mission.]

[QUEST REWARDS: 1,200XP, 1 New Qi Beast, 1 New Art, +10XP Points]

Tanji places his hand over his mouth and says "1,200XP?! I can get a crazy Breathing Method with that! Another qi power? I wonder what that is."

Silvan says "So do you just wanna go tonight?" Tanji says "I'm down." Alden nods and says "Agreed."

Tanji returns to his apartment and looks over his three weapons. "Haven't used you guys in a while. This Chīsana Bow is terrible but maybe Silvan could do something about that. I'll bring all three with me." He places them back in his inventory then wears a dark hoodie. He wears some thick and dark shoes as well as some black bottoms. He straps himself up with his knuckledusters and throws a quick punch and shakes around his hands to get used to them again.

He looks at his floor and thinks "Qi Beast?" His system replies promptly with a response. "A Qi Beast is a certain ability or add-on to someone's already present power, resembling a wild animal. Animals can range from ferrets to dragons."

He meets back up with his friends outside of the school and he says "The place is pretty far away. It has to be at least 70 miles away!" Silvan nods and says "The train can get us there in a few minutes. We'll be back soon too. There's a tube a few minutes from the gym."

They turn and jog down the road towards the Red Bear Station. This is a station, named after a strong City Trooper that once protected that area. He was 6'6, 250lbs and had bright red hair. Once they reach the bottom of the station, their train soon arrives and they leave to their destination. Tanji just plays around with his lightning then a light in the train above him flickers. He quickly waves around his hand and rids himself of the lightning to stop further disruption.

They quickly start to see that the neighbourhoods around them become less and less dense. There are less buildings and less people seen. They meet their last stop and exit the bus. After this, they still have 3 miles to make it to the actual Dungeon. They walk towards their destination and Tanji reveals his sword. The runes glow a red colour, just like the sword's thin aura. Tanji lays his small bow on his holster and he says "Silvan? Can you crystallise my arrows?" Silvan bites his hand and blood flows from the open wound. "Of course." He says, being eager to help.

He forms the blood crystal around the arrows and places them back in Tanji's quiver. Once he is done, they are close to their destination. Tanji thinks "Is this really the way to go? We really don't know how to fight these people." He pulls out his bow and aims in the dungeon in the distance.

In the dungeon, a corpse under the hard mud, twitches. It's skin is green and it seems alive. It sticks its hand through the mud and rips it apart violently. The new zombie slowly steps out of the grave and snarls. Tanji hears this with his acute hearing and aims in. There he sees a newborn zombie. He pulls back on the bowstring and lets it fly. The arrow stabs into the zombie and makes it stumble back. It isn't neutralised though and isn't even close to doing so. The zombie just roars again and seems minimally affected.

Alden rushes past both of his companions and takes on the zombie with his fists alone. He cocks back and extends for a devastating strike. The zombie's head caves in from it alone and leaves it with almost half a head. This doesn't affect it as much as they expect and just throws it off course for a little while. Alden dodges a swing from the zombie then kicks in its knee. His right hand engulfs in a shrieking and blurry fire. He punches it again and this time, he uses more power in doing so. The zombie thumps to the floor but the high-pitched shriek from Alden's fire accumulates a small crowd of low-level zombies. Alden steps back and looks back to his friends. "Prepare yourselves!" He says with almost no fear. Tanji reveals his Chīsana Bow and aims it in, next to his one open eye.

Silvan bites his wrist and blood flows around that current arm. Tanji looks to Silvan and says "You know there's a girl in my Battle Training Group that can do that." Silvan turns back and asks in curiousness "Really? What's her name?" Tanji replies with "Vanessa. Vanessa.. Mathias yes Vanessa Mathias." Silvan nods and says "Noted."

Tanji's arrow engulfs in an aura of qi as he pulls back on the bowstring. He releases the arrow and sees it zoom past Silvan's face into a zombie's neck. Clumpy and almost inhuman-looking blood is released from the open wound and the zombie stumbles onto its back. The zombie turns within the loose crowd of about 10 zombies then reaches in for the corpse beside it. Their bodies stick together then almost seem to become one. The alive zombie removes the arrow from its neck and uses the free biomass to heal the injury. Then, it's muscle mass clearly shows as it can be clearly seen through the crevasses in its dry and weak skin.
