《Corpse》Ch 1 - Corpse.
Advertisement
Catherine stared at the option presented before her.
… Corpse?
I’m dead? But if I’m dead, why the hell can I select a class at all? This explains why I can’t feel anything but I have so many questions.
If I choose “No”, do I die for real? Do I stay like this forever? I don’t want to be stuck like this!
Calm down Cat, It’s gonna be okay. Maybe this class will let me move at leaset It doesn’t say that but… well I don’t see a better option.
Fuck it.
Class Accepted!
You are now a Corpse!

Effects (1)
Rigor Mortis (State)
You are dead. Body and movement attributes are 0, and charisma is halved. Unless action is taken, this effect upgrades to Decay (state) over time.
Okay, I get it. I’m dead. You don’t need to keep rubbing it in.
So most of my stats are useless, and I don’t seem to be able to move. Great. Seems like nothing changed
Catherine kept attempting to find something in her status that could save her, and struggling to move a muscle even just to look a different direction or inhale. But nothing worked. Minutes turned into hours, which very much felt like days or longer.

I think I’m going to go crazy like this. I’d do anything just for something to change. I’ve re-read all my stats and info so many times, I can recite it all from memory. Not that there's much of interest.
And as hours dragged by and the sun set and rose, soon days had passed and still no sign of change.
Oh good, my status effect changed, yaaaay. She sarcastically thought.
Effects (1)
Decay (State)
You are dead. Body and movement attributes are 0, and charisma is -10. You emit a disgusting stench..
Maybe selecting this class was a mistake, what if I could have gotten a different one somehow? What, by sitting on your ass you idiot? No, it said there's a way to get classes normally but I doubt I could do so like this. Maybe someone will come and find me and help me evolve my class? Or at least finish me off…
Further days passed and she could do nothing but watch as flies buzzed around her, landed on her, burrowed into her.
Please, if I can’t do anything, at least let me die. If there’s a god listening, or anyone, or anything.
And then just when she’d given up hope… No, that’s wrong, she’d given up hope quite quickly, and then forced herself to hope again, and lost all hope again, over and over for days. But nonetheless, just as she was giving up yet again and cursing who-or what-ever was responsible for her plight, something changed.

The Friendly Neighborhood Nightmare Caller
The year is 21XX, humanity still seems to love killing each other over some pointless war or another. VR Dive technology is a thing and has more uses than just fun and games.For the past year, humanity has temporarily put aside its differences to fight a new threat, the Fiends, an enemy of unknown origins. The Fiends seem to have an unlimited reserve of forces, yet they seem to primarily attack small human settlements, with the occasional siege on a city with a vast horde.Humanity has resorted to creating Saviors, ex-humans who have extraordinary powers and who's forms generally resemble some form of human-monster hybrid. They range from ordinary superhumans and slime people to harpies and golems, as well as, from plant people and zombies to kitsunes and arachne.While they are called Saviors, their official title is the Defenders of Humanity and they serve the Human Collective Government Defense Force.Now, what happens when one of the biggest unknowns of the Fiends' forces, the Fiendish Maidens, joins the HCGDF?This story follows Savior Squad 108-F, a squad of misfits who joined the Defense Force for a variety of reasons, as they live their lives and go on missions for the "greater good" of humanity. During their adventures, they meet one of the most elusive Fiends in existence: the Nightmare Caller Eve, one of the Fiendish Maidens. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story was created using the world of a pair of "Create Your Own Adventures", called Defenders of Humanity and Ravagers of Humanity. There are four of us working together to write this story, so you may notice differences in writing styles, though we will try to make it seem like one style. All credit for any pictures we use, go to their artists. We plan to update as we complete chapters, however fast that happens to be. Sorry for any inconsistencies.
