《The Tragic Tale of a Zombie Survivalist》Capable Zombie Lord
Advertisement
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Today we have some amazing stuff happening, so stay tuned till the end! First up we have a perverted suicidal necrophiliac!”
Wow. That is mean. Thankfully, it doesn’t show our escapades. It went on to continue bashing her while showing our shadows dancing against the wall. I think I heard screams from outside and people trying to remove the monitors from the children’s hands. Sorry.
Then Rebecca passed out. My guess is she received her reward. After that was some more people who killed zombies or other humans. They weren’t even bad since the one that killed humans was actually avenging his dog they killed.
Dogs are people too. And so are cats.
And besides, they can locate enemies and become a pet that can evolve thanks to the system.
“Today we have two special announcements, but they will be interrupted by the Daily Tragic Show!”
Dammit. Not that shit again.
“So first on the menu is an Undead Beast has appeared!”
On the screen appeared a zombie wolf as it ripped apart a corpse.
“That’s right, animals can receive bounties as well! They can gain Skills and Spells as well as prove to be difficult opponents! We wish you luck!”
I bet if someone were to kill that wolf, they would get a Hunter Title or something.
“For today’s show, we return to little miss Rebecca. She rejected our protagonist but chased him down just this morning! But oh so tragic! He died a virgin and when he finally lost his virginity, his partner died! What a shame! Now she’s a zombie, too!”
Hmm…I may be wrong, but it doesn’t actually feel all that bad. I mean, she’s returning to normal like I did, right?
“But, and this leads us to our next piece of news, this meant she is now a mistress! Our tragic BOSS has become a Lord! A Noble! Given control of his own area within the Region, our protagonist has leveled up! I wonder what may come of the people who work under him!”

Hey, that’s right! Why are they so friendly? I was worried at first, but I guess the kids eased up my concern. Didn’t I just give these guys the tools and knowledge on how to beat me?!
Oh, I can feel Tragedy working…
It looks like the broadcast is over, I guess I will look at
aaaaAAAAAAAAAGH! WHAT THE SHIT??!!! IT HURTS!!!
Uhh…huh? I’m on the bed…and who…
“Hey, you up yet?”
“Huh?”
Oh, it’s Spot.
“Hehe, I guess you would be disoriented after that. You look completely different! Besides, I was wondering what was going on. I guess you were worried about how we would treat you.”
I sit up and notice Rebecca sleeping beside me. But she doesn’t look as gross or dead as before. What happened?
“Here, a mirror.”
Oh, thanks. Hm, maybe I should say that out loud.
“…”
Naw, too lazy. I want to sleep still. I look into the hand mirror he gave me.
Who is this?! This can’t be me! Where’s the fat?! Holy shit, I look good! I don’t understand!
“I guess this might be too much for you, so we’ll leave you two to rest some more. Good night!”
Where’s my monitor?! Oh, here we go. Wow, the system changed. Now there’s more buttons. There’s one for general Status, one for the News, one for the Bounties, one for Abilities, one for Titles, one for Units, and one for…Domain…?
My guess is Abilities contains Skills and Spells. The layout changed to put just about everything into one tab that would expand when I clicked on it. The Radar took up the entire screen like before, but this time the buttons were moved to the bottom and new options appeared where they used to be.
Influence, Terrain, and Populace.
I could now zoom in and out on the Radar as well as select these three options to change the way the Radar looked. Influence showed the area that was under my patrol, highlighting different places with different colors. Terrain showed the topography and buildings or other notable things. They would appear on the map to show cover or dangerous places. The Populace showed me the location of everyone under my area of influence and their relative emotions.

It showed what they thought of me! Wow! Eh? A ghoul from Fallout? A gross, stinky, weirdo? An idiot?! Orz
No one is even afraid of me right now. Even after the thing with Rebecca, I only see some ‘Masochist’ or ‘Pathetic’. No fear or hatred towards me at all. Sarah thinks I am her uncle, which will be odd to explain. But with this, I can understand why the people weren’t really suspicious of me. I have been told I am a terrible liar. And who could be afraid of a guy who still walks around in his Super Mario pajamas? What? They’re comfortable! The top is just a t shirt, shut up.
I check the new Units option under the menu button and see a list of all the zombies I control. They are all there, but kneeling outside of the building. I wonder why Spot didn’t mention that while he was in here. I order everyone to go back to following their previous orders.
Hehe, I can order them from anywhere, as long as I use this monitor! I can see their Abilities and…why are they different? Ghouls, Revenants, Skeleton Mage, Fallen, what are these?
“They leveled up! Check your News area.”
Oh, okay. Thanks.
“No problem.”
Hmm, so because I was the first to become a Lord on the entire continent, I received a level up to all my units! I guess Rebecca didn’t count because she was undergoing the process of whatever it was.
“Oh, she was coming back to life. She had to receive her reward somehow.”
Hm. So…
“Who are you?”
“Took you long enough,”
Said the gray Fairy with torn leathery wings and dark skin. She had white hair and even a tail. She looked more like a tiny Succubus or something.
“I am your Pixie Guide, sent here from above.”
“Above? Like Heaven? Oh, and sorry for the Fairy thing.”
“Yes. No problem, I was supposed to be a Fairy but then you died.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“I am connected to you. Essentially, I became infected, too. Everyone has a Fairy. Unless they’re dead.”
“Huh, that sounds like the monitor.”
“Yes. Because that’s where I was.”
“Really?!”
“Would it be easier to think of me as some sort of artificial intelligence?”
“Kind of?”
She flew over to land on my pillow next to Rebecca’s head and plopped down, spreading her limbs and relaxing.
“I didn’t have a body before, but now I do!”
“So everyone can get a Fairy or Pixie?”
“No, only those who get to a certain spot, like becoming a Noble. Others can awaken their Fairy or Pixie, but they won’t get a body. They’ll just stay in the monitor.”
I’m tired, still. I guess I will lay down as well and just listen to the pretty lady as she talks.
“It is up to me to get you ready for anything!”
Wow, she’s as tall as my face.
“For one thing, you have been wasting chances and not doing things as efficiently possible! You don’t understand how to use your control powers and there are many ways to get more resources! Are you listening? I’m telling you how to survive! How to let everyone get as powerful as quickly as possible! Hey! Listen to me!”
Zzzzzz shut up Navi.
