Chapter 2: Does gender matter to zombies?

After staring blankly at the glass window for ten minutes, I decided to accept the situation.

In the first place, the world suddenly turned into a zombie apocalypse, and I’m one of those zombies. What’s the point of worrying about gender when I’m a zombie? Hahaha!

“Ggrrr…”

Now, to explain this in person, we have passing male extra zombie A!

“Ggrrr?”

Yes, you! Today’s experiment is to see if zombies still have sexual instincts!

“Ggrrr….”

How will it proceed? Like this!

‘Thwack!’

That area that 100% of men would complain about!

So, what is zombie A’s reaction?!!

“Ggrrr..?..”

He’s not showing any reaction even after being hit directly in his precious area!

Therefore, all zombies are impotent…

Back to square one, I became a zombie in this godd*mn zombie world.

And even a ‘girl zombie’ at that.

In the first place, a zombie is just a living corpse that doesn’t care about anything other than gluttony,

But if someone like me still has intelligence, it can’t help but be a really difficult situation…

“Ugh… (Sh*t, what do I do now…)”

Now that I’m not the person I used to be, I’ve lost all motivation.

Maybe it’s because my body is a zombie, but I don’t feel cold or hungry or anything.

All I can do is lean against the wall, slump down, and space out…

“Ggrrr…”

Zombie A, who was kind enough to be my experiment man, must be tired of standing, because he slumped down next to me in a strange posture and is resting.

“Ggrrr….”

I observe zombie A.

He’s wearing a suit that’s torn and tattered here and there, so was he an office worker in the past?

‘Rummage rummage’

I rummaged through his pockets and found a wallet and a disposable lighter.

‘ID card: Park Cheol-Su…’

So zombie A’s name when he was alive was Park Cheol-Su.

His wallet contained his ID card, driver’s license, credit cards, faded bills, etc.,

‘Lotto 1179th drawing’

He was a humble office worker who bought lottery tickets every week.

‘Click click… Fwoosh!’

He has a lighter but no cigarettes, so maybe he had a꼰대 boss at the company he used to work at?

“Ggrrr….”

I’ll take the lighter since I might need it, and I’ll put the wallet back in zombie A’s, no, ‘Park Cheol-Su’s suit pocket.

Silence returns…

If I were a human, there would be a lot of things to do at this moment, but now that I’m a zombie, what should I do?… There’s really nothing to do.

I just groan and walk around, then sit down and doze off in an empty lot…

“Grrr….”

“Ugh….”

“Ggrrr….”

A large group of zombies crossing the city wakes me up.

Hmm… When I see them in games, they’re always annoying or bothersome, but seeing them from a zombie’s perspective is kind of different.

If I think of this as a world in a game, hmm…

I’m probably extra zombie B from the Left 4 Dead series.

“Ugh…”

Although proper communication is impossible, it’s possible to play even from a zombie’s perspective,

For example, a status window that often appears in games

‘Swish’

Yeah, like this, I can float a translucent window in the air and see my information… information…

“Ugh?…” (Huh?)

I was just letting my imagination run wild, thinking that I should just let things be, when a status window really appeared in front of my eyes.

The situation was already unrealistic enough, but if this really is a world in a game? With that thought, I came up with various ways to escape.

As a result…

“Ugh!…” (ESC!)

“Ugh!…” (Log out!)

“Ugh!…” (Force quit!)

“Ugh!..” (Windows!)

Other than the status window that came to mind when I first thought about it, there’s no response.

Well… I didn’t really expect much. In this kind of cliché, it’s common to be trapped in a game-like world.

In the case of my status window that appeared…

[User Basic Information
Name: (Undecided) Gender: Female
Race: Zombie Classification: Common (Shambler)
User Stats (LV 1)
STR: 8 DEX: 11
CON: 7 INT: ???
LUK: 17 Bonus Stats: +1
Next Level… (3/10)
User Skills
Scratch – Swing your arm to attack a living creature.
Bite – Bite the designated target.]

It’s simpler than I thought.

It’s understandable that the name is undecided since I haven’t thought of one, and I already know the gender and race, and if the classification is common, does that mean there are other zombies?

I don’t think I’ve seen any zombies other than the staggering ones like me.

The stats are divided like in a typical RPG game: STR is probably strength, DEX is agility, CON is constitution,

INT is intelligence, LUK is literally luck, and there’s even a bonus stat and an experience bar.

The skills are… well, they’re the most realistic skills for a zombie like me.

I understand everything else, but the only thing I don’t understand is why only INT has a stat value of ???.

“Ggrrr….”

Maybe it’s because I’m a mutant, or a kind of bug, who can think unlike those mindless zombie corpses, so INT, which means intelligence, is like that?

If I try to analyze everything like this, as I thought before, the situation itself doesn’t make sense.

Rather, I’m already at level 1, and can I continue to get those bonus stats every time I level up?

If that’s true, it means that I’ll naturally get stronger and stronger as I level up,

And if I get stronger, it means that my chances of survival will definitely increase.

“Ugh…”
‘Tilt’

First, I need to focus on DEX, which is agility, to modify this slow body.

Ah, there’s a brick of the right size nearby.

‘Rustle…’

“Ggrrr….”

I usually gain experience by catching monsters when leveling up in games,

‘Swish’

“Ggrrr?..”

I don’t have any personal grudges, but zombie Park Cheol-Su,

‘Whack!’

You have to be my sacrifice for experience.
