Disclaimer: I do not own any of the series created by Tite Kubo or his cast of characters. All the writing written below was only copied and pasted by me, the credit for the literature itself is entirely by Cosgrove as well as anyone who posted their piece of literature to him and he decided to add in his thread of the actual 'Bleach Quest'. So please don't sue me.
Story Summary: Watch as players control Ichigo's decisions and luck in Cosgrove's insane Bleach Quest.
Solodark: This is the first quest ever created by Cosgrove so keep in mind that it might not be that well written or that the choices are not as smart as they should be, but it does not mean it doesn't have its good/epic/and hilarious moments either. I will set up all his threads as chapters for everyone. Please note that this story has been discontinued and a new redux version has been made which will be put up very soon, so follow me in order to get updated posts.
Cosgrove: I've been wanting to try my hand at questing, /tg/, and the current KUBO ride of Bleach has me prepared for your antics, so let's give this a shot.
Yes. Depending on difficulty, there will be an increase in challenges. Also, the higher the difficulty, more options will open to the quest, but so will new pitfalls.

Difficulty.
Well, God help you, /tg/ for there is no mercy from Kubo, with his limiters released.
Solodark: Ok, so if you have read Peter Parker, than you know the rules this story will follow, if not here's a reminder.
I'm aware that some people might be put off by the way the narrative is written, but that can be ignored. But first in order to understand why the story is written the way it is you must know what a Quest is.
A quest is where you are putting players in charge of a character where a story is revealed to them and gives them more ability to affect the outcome. A Game Master is the person in charge of and overlooks the Quest and controls the plot of the story. As mentioned in the disclaimer this is Cosgrove's quest if you want to check the archives for this quest look no more but here.
-Search Google for 'Bleach Quest XXXI - sup/tg/ - Archive'.
Anyways back to the topic, Cosgrove offers choices for players to choose from or allows them to write in their own choices to move the story forward, and depending on the majority vote and detailed arguments 1 or more choice are picked by the game master in which he integrates it into the story. be reassured that Cosgrove only picks the choice from the majority vote that makes sense. Some of these choices will usually depend on dice rolls. Depending on digital dice rolls adding up with the characters stats and current skills will determine if the choices fail or succeed.
CHAPTER SUMMARY: In which Kurosaki Ichigo rolls too many 1s.
BLEACH QUEST
CHAPTER1
You are Kurosaki Ichigo, Fifteen years old with striking spiky orange hair that has gotten you into more trouble you can remember. You have what seems to be a perpetual scowl on your face, which only worsens your reputation as a delinquent. To make up for it, you've worked like a dog to study hard and keep good grades so that your school can't give you any trouble. Overall, you're pretty much a standard high school student.
Walking home from your school, Karakura High School, you see some skateboarding punks goofing around, a broken vase laying on the street corner. Above it is the bloodied spirit of a young girl, staring morosely at them, a chain extended from a plug in the center of her chest.
She looks up and locks eyes with you. "Please, make them go away, Mister!"
Oh, and you have the ability to see ghosts.
Your scowl deepens as you approach the group of skateboarders before trusting out your leg, kicking one of the punks right in the face. The other skateboarders pause as they turn towards their fallen friend only to see you.
"Get the hell out of here."
They quickly turn their confusion into anger and start to surround you. "What the? You suddenly appear and kick over our bro Yama and you tell us to get out of here?!"
You nonchalantly scratch at your head as they approach.
"You wanna die, punk?!"
Preparing yourself for the average punk, you are suddenly caught unprepared as they show great dexterity and outmaneuver your blows. As you try to fight back they lay into you before two of them grab you by the wrists as the skateboarder you knocked down gets up, bloodied and pissed.
"You think you're going to get away with this? I'll make sure you don't walk away from this!"
Picking up his skateboard, he slams it into your face and you think your nose might've broke. He prepares to continue his assault, happy at the results he's already gotten.
In the background you can see the ghost girl crying, horrified.
Summoning your strength, you kick out and nail the asshole with the skateboard straight in the balls. As he collapses to the ground, unconscious. The two punks not holding you quickly move in to rough you up, but you slam your feet down on your two captors painfully.
As they release you, you step back and touch at your nose. Yeah, its broken. Yuzu's going to have a fit over this.
Moving to launch another kick towards their junk, you kick far too high and find your leg caught by the first punk on the left as your previous right hand captor wraps his arms around you and slams you into the ground in a German suplex.
As you lay on your back, vision swimming in and out of focus, you see them surround you, violence promised on their faces.
"This is for Yama, you bastard!"
As the kicks begin, you grit your teeth and grab one of their legs to pull him down to your level. Letting your anger go free, you roar as you begin to punch him in the face.
The first blow lands on his nose with a sickening CRACK. The second blackens his left eye. The third his right.
Kill or be killed, your instincts seem to scream. It's them or you.
As you are about to continue your assault, you're pulled off by the other skateboarding punks. They gather in front of their downed comrade and stare at you hatefully, though there seems to be fear in their eyes now.
Behind them, you see the ghost horrified looking in your general direction.
Your sleeves are torn, you're bruised and bloodied, but you're going to win! These punks won't escape from you, not until they've paid in blood!
As your vision swims, your blood boils. It's hard to think, but your instincts are telling you to destroy these enemies in front of you and it's incredibly hard to deny them.
Clenching your hands into claw-like shapes, you let out a roar as you charge them, intent to see them hurt.
It's them or you.
As you charge forward, you slip on some blood and collapse right into the ground. As your head slams down into the pavement, you find yourself suddenly staring down at your own body, attached to it by a chain that leads right into your chest.
The punks, freaked out by the sheer amount of blood leaking from your body grab their two comrades and run.
The girl stares at you in abject horror.
As you stare at your own bloodied and beaten body, you begin to panic. Pulling on the chain, you immediately realize is a bad idea as it shoots agonizing pain through you, especially from where the plug connects to you. You do try to push yourself back into your body, but it seems to be to no effect, though you can tell that it is, or rather YOU are, still breathing. If barely.
As you try to figure out how to return to your own body, you look over at the girl, who is still keeping her distance, before a terrifying roar rips through the area, which clearly terrifies the girl.
You're shaken by the roar, though you still maintain your wits. As you try to look around for the source of the roar, you realize your body is difficult to move with and that you can't go too far from your body. The girl has gone into hiding, and you can barely see her, though she looks at you with fear and… pity?
The ground shakes as something lands nearby. You manage to turn around in time to watch a giant monstrous creature land. Its looking at you like you're a feast to be had, before pausing and looking at the chain attached to you. With a sickening grin on its mask-like face, it begins to sniff the area before turning towards where the girl was hiding.
As it begins to move past you, you look back at the frightened ghost before your eyes narrow. You grit your teeth and move in front of the monster, despite the fear you have.
"Hey, ugly, you aren't getting past me."
Readying for a fight, you block the path of the monster, who turns towards you, seemingly irritated. It lets out a large roar before moving towards you.
As you ready a charge at the beast, it gives an annoyed roar and claws at you. The claws rend deep and you hear a terrible, ominous snapping sound. Looking down, you see the plug is shattered and the few pieces left seem to be disappearing?
Suddenly, agonizing pain shoots through you as your body as if something is trying to rend you asunder.
However, you fight it as a white, viscous fluid seems to be spewing out of your mouth. As it begins to cover your face, you see a glimpse of a girl in a black kimono appear before everything fades to black.
"Can you hear me, Ichigo?"
You awaken, laying on the ground. Above you is an open sky.
"Over here"
Standing up, you notice that in the distance there is a man, standing on a flagpole. He's a scruffy looking man with long black hair, orange sunglasses, and a long black overcoat.
"Who are you?"
The man looks unhappy. "Who am I? We haven't met before, but deep down you should know who I am. I'm -"
Whatever the man was going to say, you couldn't hear it. Looking dejected, the man sighs. "Is that so? You can't hear it, huh? And we don't have much time, either…"
On the top of the flagpole, the man pivots, so he's standing on the side of it.
Incredulous, you stare at him. "How are you doing that? Who are you?!"
The man glares down at you. "No, I'm the one surprised. How can you sit like that?"
Looking down, you realize that you've been sitting on the side fo a building the whole time. And, with a note of panic, you realize that you're now falling. The man jumps and falls alongside you.
"We don't have much time, Ichigo."
Behind him, the building began to break apart into boxes.
"You have until the time this world decays to find something very important. You must find your powers of a shinigami, that have laid dormant inside you your whole life.
"If you fail, and this world decays completely, you will cease to exist.
"And the monster born from your remnant will hunt and kill your friends and family."
BLEACH QUEST 1 END
TO BE CONTINUED.
Solodark: As stated in the chapter summary, all players were mostly rolling 1's which is a terrible roll to have, the rolls go from 1 which means failure to 100 which is success. Ironic enough is that someone managed to roll and get a 100, but by the time they did so the thread ended on the conclusion given above.
Anyways check my profile to see another quest done by Cosgrove titled "Peter Parker Quest".
