RE:BORN Zombie

..

-Zombie – 150000/500000 (can be further evolved)

Next evolution – Zombie Lord.

..

Seeing these words spelled out before his eyes, and on the system, Victor found a newly awakened motivation to kill every undead he sees and feast on their flesh. Victor also predicted that the zombie lord was going to be the final evolution for his zombie form, since he couldn’t imagine anything higher than that in the ranks of the zombies.

“This is making my blood boil!” Victor said as he carved a wide grin on his face, but then his eyes sunk in and his face became even more pale than it already was. “…”

“I don’t have blood now, do I?” Victor said, allowing the thought to distract him a bit from the goal he had just put before himself.

The thought of whether or not zombies had blood or breathed had never occurred to him, but since he didn’t require normal bodily functions, he quickly assumed he didn’t need to breath. As an experiment, he quickly pinched his nose to restrict air flow, but nothing. Then he placed his hand on his chest, there was no beating heart.

Seeing this, Victor concluded. He was just a walking corpse. He knew this already, but it hadn’t occurred to him, especially now that he looked more human. “Well, it’s good. This only means I have a lot o… Wait.” Something else he had just realised. If blood didn’t flow in his body and he basically has no sensation in his body, doesn’t that mean he was going to die a virgin, again, in this magical world?!

‘Ah, why do I suddenly feel like visiting earth again in my old body?’ Victor sobbed in his mind. On earth, he had made due with his best friend and best technique, the almighty ‘Right-Hand & Five Fingers Technique.’ A sacred art that has been passed down from generation to generation. On earth, Victor was one of the very few humans who was able to grasp this technique without being taught! After receiving enlightenment! But now, he couldn’t even use his best technique… Tut, life was unfair.

‘Why don’t I focus on getting stronger for now. I’m sure there’s a solution to this, there should be.’

“I can’t live two lives and still not taste the forbidden fruit, that is not how the heavens intend for it to be, no.” Victor said, with a hint of seriousness and sadness mixed together.

After that episode of realisation ended, Victor got his head back into the game and the more important things before him. He had already memorised the layout of the second floor enough to know where the door to the third floor was without using the map. It seemed the increase in intelligence wasn’t at all a waste._.

Victor spent two days in the third floor gathering evolution materials, and apart from the zombies, the other monsters in the third floor were Fiery tailed wolves and dungeon bats, both of which he had already encountered before. There was no need for their evolution material, since he already had them, so he took what he needed and advanced to the fourth floor.

..

-Zombie – 250000/500000 (can be further evolved)

Next evolution – Zombie Lord.

..

On the fourth floor, the number of zombies was greatly reduced, and the more prominent monsters were skeletons and skeleton hounds. Victor saw no need to acquire a skeleton’s evolution material, he wasn’t trying to become a Lich or something. He was quite ok with his current defect as it was. Quickly, he advanced to the fifth floor. If this floor still didn’t have enough zombies, it would mean he had to descend to the lower floors to complete his goals.

Luckily for Victor, the fifth floor was filled with only zombies, and of different types too. There were the normal zombies he knew, the humanoid ones, albeit of higher level (5), then there were zombie hounds and bats. It was like the one who created the dungeon was just lazy and so he took all the previous monsters and just turned them into zombies. This was good news for Victor, though. It took him just two days of nonstop eating, and at the end of the second day Victor had managed to emmance the required amount of evolution materials needed for his next evolution.

-Zombie – 500050/500000 (can be further evolved)

Next evolution – Zombie Lord.

..

“Finally. It’s about time.” Victor said, as he sat down in a predetermined location he had found on the fifth floor.

“System, begin evolution.”

Beep Beep

[You will lose consciousness during the evolution process. Make sure you are in a favourable location]

[You will now lose consciousness as evolution begins]

With these familiar notifications, Victor gradually faded away as he lost consciousness, and as he did, the anticipation in his dead heart slowed, until it stopped.

“Wow. Evolving myself is really the best way to grow stronger fastest. Look at all these effects. Will I be able to beat those high level adventurers with these skills? Probably not, right?” Victor said as he read through the entire list of notification. The previous evolutions before this one had prepared him for this one. He was amazed by the results, but not so much that he would become speechless like last time.

He brought up his status window to see just how much it had changed, and to see the new skills he had obtained, and how the old ones had improved. “Status.”

“These skills though. I swear, if this thing turns me into a Lich, I’m gonna go on a killing spree.” Victor said expressionless, as he stared at the system interface.
