《Corpse》 1.0 ''''Huh...?'''' wait did I fall asleep in class again? I hope my teacher didn''t notice, they get REALLY angry when someone does that, there was this person who did it in my class and they got detention everyday for a month... WAIT? Why can''t I even remember their genders? Or... even their names? OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod... I CAN''T EVEN REMEMBER MY OWN NAME! Calm down me... maybe I got hit on the head or something and lost my memory? Might aswell open my eyes now because my day can not get any worse, it is literally impossiblefor my day to become any worse than it is right? Well maybe I was in an accident because I cannot feel anything. Eyes have opened, I am lying down on my back trying to get back on my feet (I swear im weaker than before)... I look at my arm and I am horrified and revolted. My arm has holesin it and I can see all the way down to the bone! You can also see my ribs through my chest and my spine through my back! Welcome to the end of the world! Strangely even though the virus turned you into Zombie (Level 2) you have kept your consciousness. As you a bonus for being intelligent the Z system will be given to you to help.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Good luck! - Minor(Major) God of Information and Cruelty With those words a malicious smile formed on my face. Finally! The boring life I had was over! The weakling I was I shall no longer be! I was lost in my thoughts when I hear a scream. I turned my head to see a 17 yr old girl I don''t recognise looking at me with pure terror on her face and I didn''t know why but before I could do process anything I was lunging at the girl. The next thing I knew I was leaning over a half eaten corpse. I found out that I wasn''t disgusted and sickened at all and I was just even more hungry and I don''t know when, but I was already walking towards the school gym as if I could sense another tasty morsel and I embraced that feeling. Gained 2 EXP... Store: Recomended- Phase up into (Zombie Phase 1 Normal) 2 EXP (As only sentient zombie from ''birth'' gain 2x normal EXP) Accept Y/N Yes I thought. Suddenly I feel as if my strength increased two fold, my previous strength was a lot weaker than a human but now I felt slightly above a Human in strength. With this new strength I rush to the gym with a speed slightly slower than an olympian athlete''s full out sprint however I made up for that slight speed difference with seeming infinate stamina. Due to being the first virus carrier to evolve to Level 3 you can heve mutated to gain [Common] skill Zombie Troop leader for free! (you can now control up to 4 zombies) Interesting... it seems if certain conditions are met there is a chance of mutation which gets me a free skill. By now I am outside the gym where there are 13 zombies outside here with me, I use my new skill to take control of 4 zombie and order them to rip open the rest of the walking corpses. I didn''t get anything from it so that was useless. Anyway I open the big door and I hear the frightened screams from 5 diferent people of which three are male and two are female, I lick my lips in anticipation. 1.1 I don''t know why but I felt that I had to say something or at least see if I could talk. While I was stuck in my thoughts ,one of the five, a man with a mullet and holding a metal pipe runs at me swinging. He did an overhead attack which I side stepped with a little effort, I countered stabbing out at his throat with my nails... and I ripped through his throat like tofu, which made the remaining four either scream or puke (or both, some even at the same time). ''''Hello ladies and gentlemen!'''' Which came out my mouth sounding like someone who needs to drink awhole bottle of throat medicine. This also made them freeze in fear, I don''t blame them. They met an intelligent zombie right off the bat! Sucks to be them! Anyways one person who doesn''t scream is a guy who looks like he is pretty smart and brave... well he is still shaking. But it is natural to be afraid, it would be weird if they were not afraid. Probably it was earlier today or yesterday when they where normal students. ''''H...hello what d...do you plan t...to do...'''' Okay I take back the brave he has actually pissed himself. What do I even say now... ''I just want to eat all of you'' or something like that? Sure whatever I suppose. ''''Well I plan to kill and eat you duh...'''' quite obvious in my opinion, I hear eating so I turn around to see Zombie 3 eating the man who died from an unfortunate accident. I don''t really care as I already got the points, this makes the girls start crying which makes me laugh evilly. I don''t know why but this just feels so... right. A cruel smile appears on my face as I dash at the human male that tried to talk to me, he screamed as I ripped out his heart and ate it in front of the survivors. Wait where even are we? What country? ''''What country are we in?'''' I questioned the lone male survivor. ''''C...China.'''' He spoke begging me not to kill him, well im sorry to disappoint, you are certainly dying today. My eyes flash coldly as I sprint at him. The three survivors scatter around the gym but that is useless as my zombie soldiers are blocking the only door and it doesn''t take long until I catch him. I reach down grabbing his foot and pulling, he falls down on his front. I use both hands to twist visciously breaking his ankle. One of the female survivors tried to rush past my zombies but failed and ended up ripped apart.Stolen story; please report. On my face a cruel smile appears on my face one more seeing the last survivor pulls out a wooden sword. Was there a school club for that? In a flash she swings at me, I block using my nails, which chipped the wood a bit. I counter with a kick connecting to her stomach. She fell back wretching as I advanced forwards but my danger sense went off. I rolled dodging an attack from a man wielding a real sword who must have hid, he had waited for an chance to strike. Cautious of this man I order the zombies to attack. To avoid any troubles I stomp the man with the broken ankle''s head into paste, brain matter flew everywhere. This angered the man with the sword somehow, although there was a bit of fear on his face before that is now gone. Maybe they were friends? Well I don''t care, he slashed at me, sword singing through the air. I sidestep the blow and pick up the rusty metal pipe off the floor (as the previous user doesn''t need it anymore...). I peek over my shoulder seeing the women struggle feebly against the zombies. She took out one but now she was worn down and struggling. The swordman swings at me again which I parry with the pipe, I counter by feinting a swing of my pipe then kicking him in the knee visciously. He seemed desperate to help the woman which distracted his attention. I hear the crunch and see his leg snap backwards, I finish him of using my nails to rip out his heart while he was down. I turn to see the women already dead being eaten by the two zombies that survived. Gained 150 Z points -Recomended----------- PhaseUp = 20 EXP, Skill: [Ghost Steps] (Level 4 Skill, Users speed triples for 30 secs, cooldown 30 minutes) = 5 EXP, Skill: [Claw Slash] (Level 3 Skill, Users nails become sharper than steel, cooldown 10 seconds) = 3 EXP ................................................. It was a long list however I decide to buy [Ghost Steps] and [Claw Slash] to increase my battle prowess. I test [Claw Slash] on the metal pipe, which gets cut in two. I pick up the metal sword and take the sheath from the swordman''s corpse. Sheathing the sword I walk out the gym zombies in tow, I walk until I make it out of the front door. All I see everywhere are my fellow zombies, Using my skill I take control of 2 more zombies (respectively 5 and 6, 2 and 4 died). I decide to walk over to the police station to see if there are guns and if they are putting up a fight. On the way I smile seeing a man in a store hiding behind the counter, I run and charge through the glass window shattering it. He screams and swings a knife at me, which I dodge and use [Claw Slash] sending his head flying through the air. I rip off his arm as a snack and continue on. About halfway there I ''meat'' three survivors. I laugh maliciously at my own joke, as I rush up to one of the survivors. He tried to block my [Claw Slash] with a wooden club but ended up losing his whole arm. I realise one of the survivors is at Level 3 and smile (Level 2 is 3 EXP, Level 3 is 6 EXP, Level 4 is 10 EXP), I activate [Ghost Steps] and instantly kill the Level 2s. He reacts and swings at me, which I easily dodge, then I kick out sending one of the two swords he was wielding out his hands. I laugh and [Claw Slash] at his other sword... 1.2 The man avoids my [Claw Slash] but stumbled backwards, which gave me time to draw my sword. I slashed out at him but he blocked the slash with his own sword, I then kick him in the stomach. It doesn''t do too much however it gave me time to pick up his dropped sword. I use my speed and two swords to unleash a flurry of slashes, one slash finally stabbed him through the chest. However he tries to kill us both at the same time by stabbing the sword through my back and his chest, clearly he doesn''t understand how useless that was. I use my sharp teeth to rip through his throat out, I laughed amused as I watched the defiant look in his eyes disappear and his eyes glaze over. I probably would''ve died if it wasn''t for [Ghost steps] and [Claw Slash], anyways as far as points go I killed those 6 people in the gym, 1 person in the store, 2 survivors now for 27 EXPand the 5 EXPlevel 3 that is 32 EXP- 8 EXP for skills. Leaving 24 EXP. I might aswell continue to see if I can get 1 more kill. What should I do if there are police that are alive? Kill them? Maybe... i''ll just do what I want I suppose. By this time i''m pretty close to the police station and I can hear gunshots, zombie roaring and screams. I smile looking at the sorry state the police are in, around 300 (and Growing) zombies attacking a dozen policemen. I with my greater climbing skill then my fellow zombies climb the police station''s wall from the back, I land inside quietly and undetected. There is a Policemen patroling the back with a handgun in his holster, I sneak up behind him and [Claw Slash] his head off. I take his gun and holster aswell as all his ammo, roughly 200 bullets.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Level Up = 25 EXP Y/N? Yes. I feel strength capable of bending steel and smashing concrete flow through my veins. I''ve never felt so alive! However [Claw Slash] is now useless as my nails are even sharper now... Due to Level Up skill [Claw Slash] has fallen behind user in level because of this [Claw Slash] has evolved into [Multi-Claw] ( Lvl 5: Hits an enemy 10 times Instantly Cooldown: 20 seconds) Well now my nails are 25% sharper than claw slash was as well as [Multi-Claw] I doubt even Level 5 Humans are my match. Maybe im being arrogant? Well I don''t care... Anyways I continue to the frontlines of the battle, I also throw away my sword as it is only a Grade 1 weapon. I sprint at the only police with a machine gun and use my new strength to rip his spine out his back. His allies are terrified and froze just long enough for the 300 Zombies (Lvl 2), to reach them. Soon all that is heard are screams of terror and agony as well as the roaring of Zombies. I laugh like a maniac watching the 50 odd Police and survivors get ripped apart. At least I was until I heard a load sound then I felt like I got hit in the chest by a truck, I turn my head to the top of the police station where a young man with a sniper is lying down. I roar in rage and run 35 mph at the sniper, he fires one again but I am too fast for him. I leap up half the height of police station in one jump (about 5 meters) and dig my fingers into the wall. I scale the building so quickly he is still looking through his scope when I stomp his head into paste, I roar victoriously. I look down to see that the zombies have finished off the humans. [Zombie Troop Leader] has evoved into [Zombie Captain](Unrated: Control up to 20 Zombies) for helping a small corpse tide wipe out the uninfected. 1.3 Flicking the message aside I go into the police station to check for anything useful, there is a radio that is currently on. I walk over and listen to anything the government and military have to say. ''''All survivors should head to the Long Hai survivor camp so you can be protected by the military'''' Well that was short... It also seems to be a pre-recored message on a loop. Anyways I should go and ''ask'' someone where Long Hai is. Going down a random street I notice 24 lvl 1s are sitting in the street, without saying anything I rush forwards with my 20 strong Zombie army. Before they can react I slice the legs off 1 of them instantly and kill 3 of them, by this time my zombies have reached them. I order the 20 Zombies to eat 1 each to evolve them into lvl 3. ''''Where is Long Hai Survivor Camp?'''' I order the now disabled man. ''''Will you let me go if I tell you?'''' he asks terrified. ''''Only if you join me and eat human flesh.'''' I smile cruelly ''''O...o...okay.'''' He said with horror. I... I didn''t... actually think he''d accept... Anyway he told be that it was over there while pointing. I with my 20 strong Z Army started marching that way, I just wanted to see if there was a Horde that was near it to stir up. I go to one of the corpses and rip an arm off for my no legged friend, I put it in front of him and tell him to eat or i''ll kill him. ...I... I haven''t even seen a zombie eat that fast (this guy is weird...), maybe he was just really afraid of death? Suddenly his skin starts turning white and his eyes even go bloodshot, then one of his eyes disappear and the other turns black. Then his legs start growing back, but his legs are thinner and taller...then the rest of his body do the same...This text was taken from Royal Road.

When reaching lvl 5 they become an -Elite-Hollow and when they reach Lvl 6 they evolve into {Hollowgast}. ''''..................?'''' just...... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? IT LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN THAT HASN''T EATEN IN YEARS THAT FUCKING DIED THEN TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE... Deep breaths... Deep breaths... I DID NOT sign up for this, but it is a pleasant suprise that he lost his intelligence and does whatever I say... but damn it is tall (about 190 cm). Doesn''t that mean there could be other intelligent species? Damn us Zombies gotta pick up the pace, Hollows and Hollowgasts will probably join our side when they are intelligent... but what about the mutant beasts? Will they grow intellect?Well those are thoughts for the future. Speaking of Mutant Beasts... that is one big cat... Mutant Cat: Lvl 5 A house cat which has mutated and has grown to be twice as big as a lion while being 3 times stronger than a tiger and 3 times faster than a cheetah. (What a Cheater) Well time for battle, I rush at it and slash my razor sharp nails at it. It roars and blocks with it''s own claws pushing and trying to overpower me, I respond with [Multi-Claw] giving in 10 inch deep wounds. My nails can cut through steel with no resistance and this I can only give it inch deep wounds? Well it has a level over me while being a mutant beast so it sorta makes sense. I strike out again aiming at it''s eye, it dodges by jumping into the air but I activate [Ghost Steps] and before it hits the ground I [Multi-Claw] at it''s neck. With no way to dodge its throat gets a wound that isn''t lethal but made it unable to continue to fight with me. After several dozen seconds the Mutant Cat breaths it''s final breath...

This feeling of power is totally different from going from lvl 3 to 4... I feel so alive... I. FEEL. INVINCIBLE. I also feel like I need to kill something and a lot of somethings. I look into the direction of Long Hai and a bone chilling smile forms on my face, while i''m smiling I start walking and an army of 20 Lvl 4s follow me to the party... ''''i''M CoMinG fOr YoU!'''' I say twistedly 1.5 On the way to Long Hai I notice that we are being watched, I turn around and look in a building to see something very... interesting? It was a group of 5 green FUCKING GOBLINS! Like what is this? Where did these little bastards come from? SINCE WHEN DID GOBLINS EVEN EXIST! A Goblin Labourer Lvl 3, Goblin Labourer Lvl 3, Goblin Labourer Lvl 3, Goblin Grunt Lvl 4 and a FUCKING Goblin Elite Grunt Lvl 5. ... Goblins... ARE YOU KIDDING??? WHAT IS THIS! AN RPG? And the fact when I was lvl 4 this party could''ve killed me as easily as crushing a bug pisses me off... I order my zombies to kill them with numbers so I don''t have to deal with this shit. I''ve now sworn now more times than every over time in my... death combined. But I remember playing an RPG when I was human and I got killed by goblins and I was playing hardcore mode... AND I''M MORE PISSED UGH!!! Back to business. My eyes flash coldly looking at the Elite Grunt which could kill my soldiers easily, without hesitating I run at 2 times that of an average person (I can run faster but at the cost of a lot of energy). He swings a rusty sword at me which I hack at with my claws, to my suprise I only cut halfway through it before facing resistance. If this was a normal era than this sword could be considered masterwork level, however it is now only trash. I stop my thoughts when I slash out with my claws and cut through the place what already had a cut and the sword split in two. He panicked and tried to retreat but I used my bone blades to cut at his left shoulder, however he dodged and I only took his left arm from the elbow down. He was affected at once by my toxin and his reactions slowed immensely.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! I sliced at his left shoulder again this time taking his shoulder off completely, he screamed in agony when I cut off his right arm then left leg then right leg in that order. I look up to see that my troop had killed the other goblins, I return my gaze to the last limbless goblin and rip it''s head off. I look to the floor next to the horribly disfigured headless goblin and suddenly there was a endlessly bright glow and ding* sound, a white crystal appears where next to where I am looking and the bright glow dimmed slowly before it suddenly disappeared. ?Mystery Crystal?:A crystal that is mysterious in nature and can give anything from a toy action figure to a entire fleet of navy ships. Tempted by something I crushed the crystal and before I could register it the bright glow reappeared again, I looked into my hand to see something I did not expect in the slightest. It was a tattoo looking thing, nothing special about it except it was shaped like a black monster with a big mouth. The tattoo floating in the air suddenly flew frantically onto my arm and I felt soul tearing pain, then this message window popped up. Tattoo Of Power: Dark Edition: Elements are Shadow, Darkness and Void. Beware shadow can only exist with light, Darkness exists to destroy all light no matter the circumstance and Void will create and destroy as it pleases. It was day so I tried to use Shadow to test a theory and allow me to dissapear into a shadow. It worked like a charm and I have also made Darkness into something like a ball of destruction I call Dark Blast, as well as turning Void into a blade which cuts through most objects. I smile cruelly thinking of how I am going to destroy Long Hai and after that expand and strengthen my own race to prepare to take over everything that exists and will ever exist.
