RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 4 Evolving



‘This life I’m living is really hard.’ Victor thought while leading some zombies off the rail again.

‘Even the so called -fellow humans-, just how many times have I died to humans in this dungeon? Even when I don’t attack, they come after me. Can they just show a little sympathy? Heh. Good thing is I don’t lose exp when I die, if not, it would have been really… I don’t even want to imagine that sort of scenario.’

As the two zombies he took fell to their deaths, he received a message from the system.

‘Almost time to level up. I just have to kill a few more now and that’ll be it.’ Victor said in his head as he turned around to go find more prey.’

*Tud *Tud *Tud

Victor heard faint sounds of footsteps coming from behind him.

As he turned, he couldn’t help but to be filled with joy. A full zombie group was passing by. ‘Oh heavens, how you show me favour some times.’

He hastily walked up to them, and one by one changed their direction towards the cliff. As the zombies got to the cliff, they stopped, but Victor just pushed them over the cliff to their deaths. He got the system notification of receiving exp as usual, then, the one he had been waiting for appeared.

[You Leveled Up]

‘Condition? Evolution?’

[Starting Evolution Process]

‘What’s going on? My body. It feels weird.’

[You will loose consciousness during the evolution process. Make sure you are in a favourable spot within the next 10 minutes]

‘Isn’t it supposed to give me an option of whether I want to evolve? And why the short time. How am I supposed to find a good hiding spot in short little time!?’

Just then, he remembered a place he came across before that he had joking thought would be a good place to hide from enemies. As he has never needed to hide since he came to this dungeon, he never really bothered about it, but today, he was happy he had come across that crack in the dungeon wall.

‘Good thing it’s not far from here, I’ll make it in time.’

Victor got to the spot he had remembered, and managed to squeeze himself deep enough into it. As he went deeper, he noticed that there was actually an opening at the end of the crack. When he got out of the other side, he saw himself in a small space the size of a small room, ‘perfect.’

[You will now loose consciousness as evolution begins]

‘Ahhh… I feel weak and tired.. Wait, tired? I forgot about that. Seems like it’s been a while. The evolution should be complete since I’m awake right? And something tells me it’s been a while since I was out.’

As Victor opened his eyes, the first thing he was greeted with was a system notification.

‘Wow. Time to see what all these do.’

Victor then focused on the new title he got, and as he did, it collapsed and displayed more information.

..

[One Who is Favoured by ‘The Process’]

As one who has struggled to get stronger, rising ten levels by killing the same creature using the same method throughout, the world favours your efforts. No matter how high you go in your level, and how much stronger you get, you will not be affected by the amount of experience gained after killing an enemy. You will always receive the amount you are due

..

‘Hmm? I have t read this again, I don’t quite get it.’ …

‘I kind of get it, but let’s keep that for later. Next.’

..

[All Title]

All titles will remain equipped all times, at the same time.

[Corpse Manipulation]

You are able to control two undead creatures of lower levels than yourself.

Level: 1

..

‘Wow. I’m becoming more capable by the moment. All the grinding was worth it.’

As Victor picked himself up, he noticed a different feeling about his body. The evolution had changed him physically. Before, he was more delicate and like zombies from movies. Not much to tell about.

Now, his skin was pale and bloodless in complexion. His appearance appeared more human than monster or undead creature, if someone didn’t look well or saw him from a distance, they might think he is a normal human. His missing hand was no longer missing, and all the places on his body that had rotten skin or bones popping out, were no more. And most importantly, the inborn taste of a zombie to eat fresh flesh he had been struggling with since he found himself in this world had died down significantly, that it was as good as non-existent.

“Ahh…” A low rough voice rang within the small room Victor was in.

He paused for a moment, surprised at what he had just heard. He touched his mouth, the parts of his face that were rotten and falling out were all fixed and normal now.

‘I just produced a sound. Does that mean I can talk now?’ He thought as he gently placed his fingers on the lower part of his mouth and throat.

“Ahh… I- I. can talk.” He smiled a bit as the sounds left his mouth.

He went on to make random sounds of different pitch sounds and tones.

‘I like that I can talk now, but… there’s anyone to talk to.’

“Heh…”

‘I already felt like a psycho talking to myself in my head. I guess doing it out loud won’t be that bad.’

“Let’s go test out my new skill.”
