Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power

Chapter 29: First Summon

Zorvax stepped into the enigmatic room, his senses alert and his curiosity piqued. However, as he glanced around, he couldn't help but note that the room was much smaller than he had anticipated. The cold, steel walls enclosed him on all sides, and a series of chains hung from the ceiling, like a prison of some kind.

His gaze roamed the dimly lit space, and his thoughts raced with questions. "I never thought the room would be so small," he muttered, perplexed by the claustrophobic surroundings. There was an eerie stillness that seemed to hang in the air, making the room feel even more unsettling.

Despite the room's austere and eerie ambiance, Zorvax pressed onward. His relentless curiosity propelled him deeper into the chamber, where his attention was drawn to a single, solitary skeleton lying in one corner. The presence of just one skeleton struck him as peculiar, prompting him to wonder aloud, "Why is there only one skeleton here?"

Approaching the skeletal remains, Zorvax was taken by surprise when his system notification once again flickered to life:

---

[Summon Available]

[1000 Evolution Points to summon: Yes/No]

---

Standing before the solitary skeleton in the dimly lit room, Zorvax was left utterly dumbfounded when the system notification appeared. The sheer cost of summoning this mysterious figure overwhelmed him, and he couldn't help but unleash a frustrated curse.

"What in the world... Why on earth is it so darn expensive to summon this skeleton?" Zorvax muttered, his incredulous voice echoing through the cramped chamber.

The system's demand for a thousand evolution points left him flabbergasted, and he scratched his head in disbelief, struggling to wrap his mind around the exorbitant cost. "I mean, this is like ten times the cost of summoning other awakened beings. Who the heck is this skeleton, anyway?"

A whirlwind of thoughts raced through Zorvax's mind as he attempted to make sense of the enigma that stood before him. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something profoundly significant about this skeleton.

Zorvax carefully examined the lone skeleton, his curiosity piqued by the enigmatic presence of this creature. He nodded to himself, acknowledging that he had a substantial reserve of 3,000 evolution points at his disposal. With a sense of determination, he made his decision and selected the [Yes] option, fully aware that it would cost him a significant portion of his evolution points.

As Zorvax confirmed his choice, a thousand evolution points were deducted from his total, and a shroud of darkness enveloped the skeleton. It was a process he had grown familiar with, mirroring his own evolution. The tendrils of darkness danced around the skeleton, gradually shaping it into its evolved form.

As the transformation took place, a system panel appeared once again, providing Zorvax with additional choices.

---

[Summoning Begin]

[Detected that the summon is a Top Quality summon]

[Please choose the evolution race for the summon.]

[1. Skeleton: 0 Evolution Points]

[2. Zombie: 1000 Evolution Points]

---

Zorvax once again faced with an unexpected choice, couldn't help but be taken aback. He muttered in mild frustration and disbelief, "What the hell? More evolution points? I've already given a thousand just for the initial summon." The reality of spending another significant portion of his hard-earned evolution points didn't sit well with him.

He gazed at the skeleton, his expression a mix of disappointment and annoyance. "And to think I'll end up with a skeleton summon... Not exactly the most appealing choice," he grumbled. The skeleton was undoubtedly intriguing, but it didn't align with his preference.

On the other hand, the Zombie option held a certain allure. For a mere 1000 evolution points, he could potentially have a summoned creature that matched his own level. It was an enticing prospect, and the idea of having a companion that mirrored his abilities was appealing.

With a resigned sigh, Zorvax concluded, "Well, I do have plenty of evolution points to spare, so why not?" He decided to go with the second option, signaling his choice with a mental affirmation.

---

[Zombie Evolution is chosen]

[Using 1000 Evolution Points more to evolve]

[The Summon is resurrecting and evolving]

---

As Zorvax patiently awaited the completion of the evolution process, he couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and anticipation. He watched the dark cocoon surrounding the skeleton gradually disintegrate, and soon, an entity emerged from within.

The figure that stood before him was a woman, her appearance as captivating as it was unusual. Her skin had a pale grey hue, and her eyes were a deep, endless black. Long, obsidian hair cascaded down her back, adding to her ethereal, almost spectral presence. Her unusual beauty took aback Zorvax, a stark contrast to the grotesque and decaying image he associated with zombies.

He marveled at the transformation he had triggered. This was no ordinary zombie; she possessed an aura of intrigue, a testament to the unique nature of this world and the power of evolution.

Suddenly, the system once again made its presence known, displaying a new interface:

---

[Summon List]

[1. Ophelia]

[2. ---]

---

Zorvax stood there, his gaze fixed on the screen displaying the name "Ophelia." It was a name that seemed to befit the unearthly beauty and mysterious aura of the woman before him.

"So, her name is Ophelia," Zorvax mused, voicing his thoughts aloud. He was curious to understand more about his newfound companion, to learn the extent of her abilities. Zorvax decided to delve deeper into Ophelia's stats by selecting the relevant option.

The screen revealed her attributes:

---

[Name: Ophelia]

[Race: Zombie Elementalist]

[Level: 2]

[Abilities:]

[1. Pain Immunity]

[2. Flame Manipulation]

[3. Wind Manipulation]

[4. Water Manipulation]

---

Zorvax was genuinely surprised by Ophelia's impressive stats. He hadn't expected such a powerful companion to emerge from the summoning process. As he observed her abilities, he couldn't help but express his amazement.

"She's incredibly strong," he said, a sense of satisfaction creeping into his voice. He realized that Ophelia would be a valuable addition to his ever-growing arsenal. Her elemental abilities would provide an edge that he hadn't possessed before.

A smile formed on Zorvax's lips as he considered the possibilities. With Ophelia by his side, he felt a growing sense of confidence and determination.
