New Quest: Kill a gillian
Time Limit: 20 Minutes
Reward: 100 status points, Flame Breathing
---
'Flame breathing... I see,' Kiyota thought to himself, 'The time limit seems too short and moreover, I can't even use flame breathing without a sword.' Kiyota thought to himself.
'Siri, are you trolling me?' Kiyota asked.
"No. I'm not trolling you. The quest is perfectly valid." Siri responded.
Kiyota sighed.
'Well, whatever.' Kiyota thought.
Kiyota turned invisible and took flight. The gillian was confused but quickly adjusted.
'It's picking up on my spiritual pressure. I have an idea.' Kiyota thought to himself.
Suddenly, Kiyota's spiritual pressure vanished, leaving him truly invisible. The gillian was now completely disoriented, its gaze darting around wildly as it tried to sense Kiyota.
'That's better,' Kiyota thought smugly.
'Chidori!'
Kiyota dove into the gillian from the top of its head, the blue lightning covering his arm piercing through the mask and skull. The gillians skin was much denser than usual hollows, and it was comparable to iron.
Kiyota's hand was stuck in the head of the gillian.
'Fuck.'
The gillian roared and shook its head madly.
'Shit.'
Kiyota ripped out his arm from the gillian's head and flew a few feet away.
'Damn, that was close,' Kiyota thought, breathing heavily.
'I should've used more force. I didn't expect the mask to be this thick. If I'd gotten my arm stuck, that would've been bad. Still, the damage I did was pretty good.'
Kiyota was satisfied with the results. Kiyota flew back towards the gillian and struck it again, this time aiming for the weak spot created earlier. The blue lightning reaching extreme heat and the gillian's skull burst into flames. Kiyota felt his reiatsu draining, but he ignored it. The gillian screamed, and it began to charge the opposite direction of where Kiyota was. Kiyota was still perfectly invisible, including the chidori. Though his spiritual pressure, concealment wasn't perfect, the gillian couldn't locate him. Kiyota facepalmed as the fire burned the mask off fully, and the behemoth fell, disintegrating into black particles.
"Level up."
"Level up."
"Quest complete." Siri said. "100 status points, and flame breathing, have been given."
"Siri, give me the details of Flame Breathing." Kiyota said.

New Skill
Flame Breathing: Flame Breathing is an ancient and secret sword technique passed down through generations of the Rengoku family. This powerful and versatile style seamlessly blends offence and defence, with strikes that mimic the unpredictable nature of fire.

'Well, that's a lot of information. I can't even use the Flame Breathing without a sword. What the hell am I supposed to do now?...' Kiyota thought, exasperated.
'Open status panel.'

For a few hours, Kiyota kept hunting individual gillians and avoiding the groups until his level reached 24.
'This is taking way too long,' Kiyota thought, frustrated.
'I've only reached Level 24 after 9 hours. I want to progress quickly and become an arrancar... I want my human body back.'
"You only have 1 level left until you unlock the shop." Siri said.
'Hmm…'
Kiyota decided to stop.
'I've basically achieved my goal. I'm way too tired, and I've had to dodge enough ceros today.'
Just Kiyota thought this, he felt a strong spiritual pressure a couple of kilometres north.
'Shit...' Kiyota thought to himself as he completely concealed his spiritual pressure and turned invisible.
As Kiyota had been hunting the gillians he also had time to fully master spiritual pressure concealment using his basic genjutsu.
'Siri, tell me about this new spiritual pressure.' Kiyota commanded.
"This is a unique spiritual pressure to what you have seen so far. It's a vasto lorde." Siri said.
'Vasto Lorde? It must be Tier Harribel' Kiyota thought to himself, 'What is the reiatsu level of this hollow?'
"120,000" Siri said.
'Fuck, that's a lot. I can't fight against it... Not yet.' Kiyota thought.
'I wonder if she is hunting with her fracción... They are supposed to be pacifist, but I don't want to take that chance. I should stay away for now.' Kiyota thought.
'I plan to make my own fracción and join Aizen. I can't let him destroy the living world, and plus I want to become as human as possible. I can't roam the world as before because the soul society would kill me without a second thought. Aizen is the best choice right now because he has the Hōgyoku. Even though I know his plans, he is extremely intelligent, I've gotta be careful.'
Kiyota found a cave in the Menos Forest and went inside. He secured the cave and wiped out the hollows in a nearby radius.

'Yes, finally I've unlocked it! Open shop. But what's this...' Kiyota thought.
"Skill Crafting is unavailable, host." Siri said.
'Yeah, I get that! But what is it?'
"You can't access it without levelling up 50. It unlocks at 50." Siri explained.
'WHAT IS IT, THOUGH?. Forget it. At least I can open the shop.' Kiyota thought.
A holographic screen appeared.

Kiyota stared at the shop menu, his mind racing with possibilities. 'This is incredible,' he thought. 'But I only have 225 SP. I need to choose wisely.'
He considered each option carefully. The Hashirama Cells were tempting for their regenerative properties, but the risk of mutation gave him pause. The Byakugan would be incredibly useful, but the surgical implantation sounded risky in his current situation.
The Hogyoku Fragment caught his eye. 'This could be exactly what I need to become an Arrancar,' Kiyota mused. 'But it's also the most expensive...'
