YM778.TV Chapter 3 Level Up
[True Undead]
As one who has achieved something that should be impossible, DYING and resurrecting countless times, as an undead, you have shown your thirst of immortality, and have been granted it.
Effect: When you die you will be revived 24 hours later at a random location within a 200 metres radius from where you die.

‘Does this mean I’m immortal? Being a zombie, I’m already dead, so I can no longer age. If I add this title, then I can’t even be permanently killed. Hahaha haha. Have I become some kind of god?’ Victor got excited by the thought as he dragged himself through the tunnel like part of the cave he was in at the moment.
For his plan to work, he would have to face off against his own kind… hard to say since he has the soul of a human, but he would have to kill a fellow low level zombie. With the plan set, there was only one problem, how he would go about the killing.
As if reincarnating into the body of a zombie wasn’t bad enough, his zombie body had only one arm, and that arm was eaten up in many places. Unlike in movies, in reality, the muscles responsible for moving his arms that had rotted away made it impossible to move them. So, there was only one option left, to use his teeth. But this was also a problem.
Victor’s zombie appearance was barely human in appearance. His skin was a bit bloated and stretched with wounds that were rotten with pus in some places, with a saggy jaw bone hanging on one side of his face with a rotten tongue. His clothes were mostly tattered and his eyes were a milky shade, and yellowish in the pupils. These rotten parts hung out as though they would fall off, some rotten body parts fall off with time as he walks, oblivious to any loss.
Biting was also a problem because of his defective mouth part. ‘Coupled with the fact that I can’t even talk, I also can’t gain exp.’
Victor wandered about aimlessly looking for something to kill him, and that was when he found a large red lizard, ‘perfect.’ Slowly increasing his walking speed into a sprint, he charged towards the lizard. The moment he got within a certain range of the lizard, it grabbed him by the torso and easily snagged him in apart.
Moments later, Victor spawned at a different location, and luckily this time, three other zombies spawned along with him.
‘This, is just perfect.’ He joined the three zombies and started patrolling around. As he was familiar with this route, he put his plan into action. ‘I’ll have to go right, so the one to the right should do.’
They kept walking until they got to a point where the road split into three paths, one leading forward and the other going left and right. As they got to the junction, he used his hand to part and directed the zombie he had marked towards the road at the right side. Maybe because they were all monsters, or because they were both zombies, the zombie didn’t react in any particular way and just kept moving. They continued walking, and along the way he directed where they went, and after sometime they got to a cliff.
‘I hope this is high enough to kill it.’ Victor said in his head as he pushed the zombie before him down the cliff. As he watched it fall, his leg gave in and he also fell together with the zombie. ‘What the fuck! Isn’t this a magical world? I’ve seen skeletons walking, but for some fucked up reason, I still have to follow the laws of biology!’

‘The experience bar is half way filled now. I works. I can get stronger, and I won’t need to be stuck in this cycle of dying and reviving again.’
Victor’s experiment was a success, leveling up was possible. ‘Maybe when I get out of here I’ll be able to make a mechanic arm and body part to support my body that’s falling apart.
Since the experience bar filled up to half after killing one zombie, killing another one would mean leveling up, so he set out in search for his next prey. Not long after, Victor took two zombies to the cliff and just like before, he pushed them off the cliff and stayed away from the edge.

[You leveled up]

‘Ok, I think I get it. Now, I’ll have to work like crazy if I want to rise up the ranks quickly.’
…
Time passed by quickly, and with Victor doing the same thing over and over again while stuck inside a dungeon as a mob, he lost track of time, no longer keeping record of how long he had been there.
‘Exactly how long has it been now since I got here..? I think, about four months now? Or five. I, am not sure, but it should be close to that. Let’s check my status.’

“What’s the cause of this anomaly? It isn’t too serious, so maybe I should just ignore it for now. I can always fix it if it becomes serious.”
