I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl - Chapter 6

6: Chapter 6 ““ First Evolution: An Undead Who Chooses Her Path 6: Chapter 6 ““ First Evolution: An Undead Who Chooses Her Path I sat with my back against the cracked wall of my little hideout-a small room in the basement of a mall that might’ve once been a storage closet.

The system screen still glowed faintly in front of me.

Evolution Available Choose an evolution path: Medium Zombie Body reinforced.

Basic zombie abilities doubled.

No major change in appearance, but durability and reflexes increase significantly.

Low-Rank Ghoul Evolution toward a fast and feral predator.

Focuses on speed and agility.

Appearance becomes more terrifying.

Lesser Vampire Unstable path.

Grants a small bonus to healing and blood manipulation.

However, due to the undead body, effects are limited.

Appearance becomes more humanlike, but the bloodlust aura intensifies.

I stared at the options.

Choices that-strangely-felt like they were about to determine my entire life path.

Even though I was a zombie.

A walking corpse.

But… maybe exactly because I wasn’t human anymore, this choice might give me direction.

Ghoul was tempting.

Lesser Vampire sounded cool.

But… “I… still want to stay at least half-sane,” I muttered.

I knew that if I wanted to maintain my consciousness, I had to pick the stable path.

The one that wasn’t too extreme.

“I choose… Medium Zombie.” [Evolution Confirmed] Evolution beginning…Progress: 5%…

10%…

20%…

50%…

99%…

Evolution Successful!

Rank increased: Zombie †’ Medium Zombie (Rank 1) Stats have been upgraded.

All base stats doubled.Skill levels increased by +3.Reward: New skill unlocked ““ Dash Description: Dash allows the user to move at high speed for a short time.

Normally consumes stamina, but the current user has no stamina system…Skill can be used limitlessly, with a short cooldown.

I closed my eyes.

My body… felt warm.

Not the warmth of a human, but like sparks of electricity running through frozen muscle and dead flesh.

My bones tightened.

My muscles felt like they were being reconstructed.

Not painful.

But uncomfortable.Like wearing a new body that fit too perfectly.

Then my status screen popped up again.

[STATUS] Name: Sylvia Race: Medium Zombie (Rank 1) Level: 0/20 Stats HP: 2000/2000 MP: 0/0 STR: 300 VIT: 2000 INT: 20 AGI: 24 LUK: ERROR  Active Skills ~ Bite (6/10) ~ Claw (9/10) ~ Dash (1/10) Passive Skills ~ Regeneration (8/10) ““ 8 HP/sec Title ~ Reincarnated ~ First Evolution I stood slowly.

My movement… was different.

Lighter.

Quicker.

My legs no longer dragged.

My hands no longer trembled.

I tried running a bit down the hallway.

ZUP!

I shot forward like an arrow.

In one blink, I crashed into the wall.

“Ow-okay, I need practice, but this is amazing!” This body… I’m not just any zombie anymore.

And maybe-for the first time since I died-I feel like there’s hope.
