(IX) The hidden Quest

"Lady, just do us some good and hand over your purse. We promise we'd just pound on that little pussy a bit and let you g–"

The man broke off as Zane landed in their midst.

'I always find a way to get into trouble.' Zane thought as he tried to ascertain where he had landed.

"Where the hell did you come from!" A voice roared behind him.

Zane peered behind and saw the bulky tattoo-riddled man.

'here,  comes trouble.'

"Are you deaf? I said where the hell did you come from?"

"That's none of your business!" Zane yelled back.

'Wait, did I just say that?'

He thought, but it was too late, as the man had already pounced on him.

Zane dove to the side and evaded the man's massive hands that were half of his body.

'How can someone be this big?'

He had seen a fair number of large people, but this guy—so far—is the largest he has seen.

"You dare shift your focus?" The man bellowed as invisible vapor surged out of his broad nostrils.

Seeing the situation, the woman—who was about to be robbed—crept gradually to the sides as she watched the brawl.

"Should I live? No, I can't! That kid just saved my life. I should at least attend to him after that man finishes beating him."

The woman resolved as she fixed her gaze on the fight.

"Hey, I was thinking! What did you eat to look like this?" Zane asked as he continued to dart from left to right.

"Are you insulting me?" It seems like there were now smoke oozing out of his nose, literally.

'Shit! That was just a genuine question out of curiosity!' Zane wanted to yell this out.

However, he couldn't, as the man suddenly rose to the sky and radiated a sparkling light that blinded Zane for a moment.

Zane adjusted his eyes as he peered at the man.

'He's a superhuman?'

The man smirked as he opened his palms and glanced at Zane with an annoying gaze.

"I'd let you be if you were respectful, but it seems you're not!"

A fiery black flame started oozing out of his palms as they slowly started twirling.

It grew larger with every moment, and after some time, it reached the size of a soccer ball.

Zane stared in a daze at the black flame. Though he had transmigrated to this world, it was his first time seeing superpowers in action.

"Hey, kid!"

The man's audible voice jolted him out of his muse.

"Eat this!" The man grinned as he hauled the fire toward Zane.

Swoosh.

The fire darts through the air toward Zane.

Zane didn't know why he was feeling a jolt of excitement as he saw the attack.

He clenched his fist tightly as he bolted towards the flame and whacked it away with his fist.

The man's face changed drastically from his cocky expression to that of bewilderment.

'a normal human shouldn't swat my attack like that, except his a–'

BOOOOOOOM

The man broke out of his trance as a fist from Zane sent him crashing into a building.

The man sluggishly used his hands to propel himself from the wreckage of fallen rocks and rubble.

"Super strength?" The man said in realization as he paced out of the dust and came into view.

Apart from some red scars on his cheeks, the man seemed fine. 

'I guess I still have a long way to go.' Zane bolted again towards the man. However, the man leaped into the heavens, took a large stride in mid-air, and drop behind Zane.

"Zane spun his body to face the man. However, the man blasted him with a gush of black flames.

BOOOOOM

Zane crashed into the same wreckage the man came out of.

'I guess this is what they call karma.

Karma? Why did I think of that?'

Zane hopped back to his feet as he saw the man approaching him with his hands behind him.

A subtle dark gleam radiated behind him. Zane knew whatever that was, it wouldn't be good.

"Kid, I've got a small gang of superhumans like me. I'd like you to join us." The man said in his rough, rugged voice.

"You rub on the streets, so that means y'all and your gang are broke!" Zane didn't sugarcoat his words.

He wasn't planning on joining any gangs. His main aim was staying alive and gangs would make it end.  

"How rude? Well, it's your choice!" 

The man yanked his hands from behind as an enormous shadowy flame blazed fiercely.

"Wow! Dude you wanna blow up New York!" Zane tried a joke. Maybe it will help the cold sweats.s in his back.

"Nice meeting you, kid!" The man flashed his annoying signature smirk as the shadow flame latched toward Zane.

Thoughts of fleeing whirled in Zane's mind, but he discarded those thoughts as he dashed at the black flame.

"Hahahahaha! Fool come and die!" The man emitted a crazed laugh as he imagined Zane turning into a crisp.

Bolting forward, Zane took a large leap into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

"Eh?" The man gawked at the heavens before he grimaced.

"Super jump! Fuck!."

Above the clouds, Zane's face twitched in odd shapes as he glanced around the clouds.

"I overdid it! Shit!" Zane caused as he plummeted to the ground.

Everything from that height seemed bleak and foggy.

Zane gnashed his teeth, awaiting the impact he'd make with the ground.

He shut his eyes, and after what seemed like a second, he snapped them open again.

"I'm I still falling, or is this hell?" Zane muttered to himself, then he felt a warm sensation on his legs.

He glanced below his foot, and his eyes flickered with surprise.

Mashed into a brainy gooey puddle was the tattoo-riddled man from earlier.    

(A few moments ago.)

The man gazed at the feet that had suddenly become large. He tried to get his wobbly legs out of the way. However, the feet smashed his skull.

*PULCH! 

His skull shattered, as his green jelly brain mixed with gooey intestines smeared the ground.

The woman glanced away and poked out her bowl.

(Present)

The woman came out of her hiding place and approached Zane.

Complicated emotions were spinning in Zanes ' mind. First, he was feeling excited that he had survived this fight. Second, he didn't know why he wasn't feeling any guilt or remorse.

Ding.

[Quest reward would be rewarded when part 2 is complete.]

'What?' Zane gawked at the mature woman in a black knee-length skirt and white sleeves. The woman had an alluring pair of huge boobs that made Zane want to suck them hungrily, a soft, fluffy ass, and voluptuous hips that seemed to sway from left to right.

'A milf?'
