Chapter 105: Chapter 105 – System Evolution and the Forgotten Light
It’s been so long...
Too long since I last saw sunlight.
As my body and my army stepped out of the dungeon, the world seed to welco us with a warmth I never thought I missed yet now, I did. The golden light of the sun softly kissed my pale skin, reflecting off the black chains wrapped around my arms.
I had to readjust myself.The brightness stung my eyes, long accustod to darkness, and the fresh air felt... piercing. Yet strangely, comforting.
"To that big tree," I said softly, pointing toward the trees in the distance. My troops moved silently, with my little dragon once a dungeon boss following at my side like a loyal pet.
Once we reached the base of the massive tree, I sat down, leaning against the dragon’s warm body, which rose and fell slightly with its heavy breath. The two werewolves sat close on either side, guarding , while the elf zombie and drake stood like sentinels among the bushes.
I took a deep breath, though I didn’t need air to survive."The outside air is still better than the dungeon’s stuffy stench..."
And just as I was about to close my eyes to enjoy a brief mont of peace.
DING!!
The system notification shattered the silence.
[System Evolution Complete]
My eyes slowly opened.Finally... after so long.
I stood up slowly and summoned my system.
[System activated...] [Loading system evolution data...]
Several transparent panels appeared before , displaying newly unlocked features.

I stood there in silence.
"So now... I can store corpses and materials, monitor my troops remotely, and experint further with Undead evolutions... This...."
A thin smile crept across my lips.
"This really like it"
I decided to open my status screen sothing I hadn’t done in a while. I used to check it almost daily, but lately... as my growth slowed, I had started to ignore it.
But now, after everything...

I stared at my status screen with a satisfied smile. And when I saw the title Arcana of Death, I thought, don’t tell ...The card that entered my body and caused my system to evolve does this an I’m no longer just the Queen of Zombies, but also... the ruler or avatar of death itself?
"I’ve co a long way... from the girl who didn’t even know how to dodge a single attack."
I closed my eyes briefly, letting the sunlight warm my cold skin. The wind’s whisper, the earthy scent, and the faint chirping of birds from who-knows-where all felt like reminders that the world outside the dungeon still existed. Still lived.
But I knew, my rest wouldn’t last long.
This world was too chaotic to let
sit still for long. Especially now, when I’ve fused even deeper with the system... and it has begun to reveal its true form.
I opened my eyes, staring into the distance. The blue sky stretched endlessly.
