I Got Reincarnated a Chapter 3 – Escape First, Style Later

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 – Escape First, Style Later

The mont the system said there was a Rank 2 zombie within 100 ters, I bolted without a second thought.

"I'm not ready! I'm only level 1, brooo!!"

With movents more like a possessed puppet than a sprinter, I ran... or more like dragged my feet as fast as I could. Each step made crack and creak sounds, like my bones were protesting my life choices.

Thankfully, the Rank 2 zombie didn't chase . Maybe it was sleepy. Or maybe the system was just being kind to beginners.

I stopped in front of a broken electronics store, went inside, and sat in a corner, between shattered TV shelves and piles of ancient DVDs.

"Panting... panting... oh right, I don't need to breathe anymore."

Once I cald down, I opened my mouth and muttered:

"Status."

I stared at the screen, feeling a mix of pride and confusion.

"Level one and I already have 200 HP?! Is this a zombie body or an armored tank?"

STR went up by 10 points. Not bad for smashing enemies.VIT hit 200. That ant I could take a beating and still stay standing.AGI... well, it went up by one. Still felt like a drunken snail.

"And LUK... still ERROR. Why? Is a zombie not allowed to be lucky?"

I leaned my head back against the wall and looked up at the cracked ceiling. For so reason, my curiosity kept growing. What was the purpose of this system? Why was I reincarnated as a zombie? And why a girl? I an, I'm not complaining, but this is all way too random.

I stretched out my hand and looked at it closely. The wounds were still there, but they weren't bleeding anymore. I could even feel a faint flow of power from the "Regeneration" skill.

"I may not be human anymore... but I'm still conscious. I still have a mind."

And because of that, I could choose.

Not just to be a regular zombie, but maybe... to beco the strongest zombie ever.

Suddenly, a new screen appeared:

[System Warning]

You have resisted your zombie instincts.

Self-control progress: 1 day out of 3

Maintain consciousness until day 3 to receive a new skill or stat upgrade.

I clenched my fist."I won't give up just because I'm the walking dead now. I'll level up. I'll evolve. And maybe, soday..."

I looked at my reflection in the blank TV screen.

"...I'll beco more than just a zombie."
