《Evolutionist》Chap. 02: The Master's Rising
Advertisement
On an avenue, in the middle of a devastated city, which was once known as Paris.
There are signs of destruction, evidence that a battle for survival occurred in this place.
Bodies scattered all over the place, burned, exploded, cut, crushed and devoured.
The horde of living dead that eliminated the entire group that Celina and Rogerio were part of, is no longer present. without a target to keep them close, zombies begin to roam the city aimlessly until they find a new victim.
But what draws attention to this particular place is a specific body.
A zombie lying on the floor with black smoke enveloping his body.
For an indeterminate period of time, the zombie remained unmoved.
Every minute the smoke that surrounded it grew thicker, to the point that it was impossible to see anything but the smoke itself.
After a few days, the smoke that covers the body of the zombie is dispersed, showing what happened to the zombie.
After the dispersion of smoke, a human body, if it may call it so, was visible.
Naked, 1,7m tall, slim body, and pale skin, short, messy dark hair, and red iris.
Pov: ????
Recovering consciousness, I feel my body numb. I'm confused.
I try to get up a few times, but my body does not respond correctly, I try to open my eyes, but the light is very strong and it hurts my eyes.
After a while I get up. Slowly my eyes adjust to the light, until I can open my eyes and look where I am.
To my surprise, the first thing I see is not where I am, but a window with information that shocks me.
Evolution from Zombie to Undead Master successfully completed

Crap now I remember everything.
From the blue screens, to the zombies popping out of nowhere, from the biting people becoming zombies, from when I tried to kill a zombie and got bitten, from the ordeal of dying for the virus. I even remember
a bit of the time I spent as a zombie.
Now it's all clear.
I died.
But why do I feel nothing, despite everything that has happened.
Sadness, anger, fear, despair, I feel nothing.
First I'll look at my status.

8 102The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
