*EDIT*
Nevermind--Closing and Reopening the game allowed me to proceed forward. Leaving the thread here for those that may experience the bug in the future.
-------------
As stated, I had made my Character + 2 companions travel to the location of the Minor Task. It was the Complete Dungeon: Threat - Rebels. Both have the capability for combat and had weapons on them.
However, whenever I clicked on the upper menu to move my screen to Threat - Rebels, it simply brings me back to the Main Menu. I can still see the timer on the upper left and able to progress time strangely enough. But no more than that. I could even just go bankrupt and trigger the game over scene lol.
The only different thing I could think of that may have had this happen (Aside from just overall bug) was me using the cheats menu (in main menu) to create a character (out of curiosity) who I could not control nor give a task to who just ran away at day 3~5.
