Betrayed. Ridiculed. Killed.

That was my past life.  

I trusted the wrong people, and they buried me for it. But fate wasn’t done with me yet. When I opened my eyes again, it wasn’t in my old body—it was in a world overrun by the undead. And this time, I was one of them. 

A fucking zombie!

But I’m not like the others. I think. I feel. I remember. 
What’s this voice in my head?

[Welcome to the Silent Requiem System!]

The system feeds me power, unlocking missions and skill buried within this body.  I have one goal: rise in rank, take control, and make sure no one ever tramples me again.  

The humans I move with have no idea what I really am. To them, I’m just another survivor, clawing my way to the top. But in battle, I use my abilities in secret—manipulating the undead, eliminating threats, and turning every fight in my favor. 

But rumors are spreading. There’s talk of an undead hiding among them, unseen and unstoppable. If they find out the truth, they’ll hunt me down like a monster.  

And my past? It’s here too. The people who betrayed me in my last life are standing right beside me, unaware of who I am. But I remember them. They turned on me once—I won’t give them the chance to do it again.  

Then there’s him. The commander of the city, sharp-eyed and ruthless. He’s watching me too closely, asking too many questions. If he figures out the truth, I’ll have to make a choice: eliminate him, outplay him… or pull him into my trap before he can destroy me.  

Because in this world, power is the only thing that matters. And this time, I refuse to be at the bottom.

"How did you survive when everyone else died?"
I guess death just didn’t want me.

"Why do the zombies ignore you?"
Maybe I just have a face they don’t like.

"You were just a nobody yesterday—how are you suddenly so strong?"
Hard work, luck… and a little bit of hex.

"Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
Déjà vu’s a funny thing, isn’t it?

"What are you?"
Wouldn’t you like to know?

Apocalypse: After Reanimation, I Became The Queen

It's funny how Lucas is rambling on about his talking zombie when we've got some mutant zombie lurking somewhere in the woods with a horde.

"Yeah," I tell him, keeping my voice soft and careful not to rouse the others. "I believe you."

Lucas blinks at me like he didn't expect that.

I nod toward the rest of the group. "Now go on, kid. Get some sleep. Join the others."

He stares at me a second longer, like he doesn't quite trust the sudden softness in my tone. Then he nods. "Okay."

He curls up near the others, tucking himself tight like a kitten trying not to take up too much space. He doesn't look back.

I remain seated by the cave entrance, knife still clutched in my hand, the air around me damp and musty with rock sweat and old ash. Something drips in the distance. Might be water. Might not. The cave has that sour, damp smell of mustiness and a bit of feet.

_ HOW?
