I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl - Chapter 3

3: Chapter 3 ““ Escape First, Style Later 3: Chapter 3 ““ Escape First, Style Later The moment the system said there was a Rank 2 zombie within 100 meters, I bolted without a second thought.

“I’m not ready!

I’m only level 1, brooo!!” With movements more like a possessed puppet than a sprinter, I ran… or more like dragged my feet as fast as I could.

Each step made crack and creak sounds, like my bones were protesting my life choices.

Thankfully, the Rank 2 zombie didn’t chase me.

Maybe it was sleepy.

Or maybe the system was just being kind to beginners.

I stopped in front of a broken electronics store, went inside, and sat in a corner, between shattered TV shelves and piles of ancient DVDs.

“Panting… panting… oh right, I don’t need to breathe anymore.” Once I calmed down, I opened my mouth and muttered: “Status.” [STATUS] Name: Sylvia Race: Zombie (Rank 0) Level: 1/10 Stats HP: 131/200 MP: 0/0 STR (Strength): 60 VIT (Vitality): 200 INT (Intelligence): 10 AGI (Agility): 3 LUK (Luck): ERROR Active Skills ~ Bite (1/10) ~ Claw (2/10) Passive Skill ~ Regeneration (1/10) ““ 1 HP/second Title~ Reincarnated I stared at the screen, feeling a mix of pride and confusion.

“Level one and I already have 200 HP?!

Is this a zombie body or an armored tank?” STR went up by 10 points.

Not bad for smashing enemies.VIT hit 200.

That meant I could take a beating and still stay standing.AGI… well, it went up by one.

Still felt like a drunken snail.

“And LUK… still ERROR.

Why?

Is a zombie not allowed to be lucky?” I leaned my head back against the wall and looked up at the cracked ceiling.

For some reason, my curiosity kept growing.

What was the purpose of this system?

Why was I reincarnated as a zombie?

And why a girl?

I mean, I’m not complaining, but this is all way too random.

I stretched out my hand and looked at it closely.

The wounds were still there, but they weren’t bleeding anymore.

I could even feel a faint flow of power from the “Regeneration” skill.

“I may not be human anymore… but I’m still conscious.

I still have a mind.” And because of that, I could choose.

Not just to be a regular zombie, but maybe… to become the strongest zombie ever.

Suddenly, a new screen appeared: [System Warning] You have resisted your zombie instincts.

Self-control progress: 1 day out of 3 Maintain consciousness until day 3 to receive a new skill or stat upgrade.

I clenched my fist.”I won’t give up just because I’m the walking dead now.

I’ll level up.

I’ll evolve.

And maybe, someday…” I looked at my reflection in the blank TV screen.

“…I’ll become more than just a zombie.”
