Chapter 18: Zombie Leader
With the Level 2 Zombie core in his possession and a newfound sense of accomplishment, Zorvax turned his attention to the system. He noticed that his evolution points had exceeded the 1000-point mark, a significant milestone in his journey.
Eager to see what the future held for him, Zorvax navigated to the fourth option on the system, his curiosity piqued. The text read:
---
[Do you want to unlock ???]
[Yes/No]
---
There were still unknowns, but Zorvax was determined to discover what lay behind this new door of opportunity.
Without hesitation, he selected "Yes," and the system responded. It whirred and buzzed with activity, indicating the unlocking process had begun. Zorvax watched with anticipation as progress bars filled and notifications appeared on the screen.
As the system worked its magic, Zorvax couldn't help but smile. He had come a long way from his humble beginnings as a Level 1 zombie, and now he was on the brink of unlocking something entirely new and exciting. The sense of growth and evolution had become an addiction, driving him forward in this unpredictable world of the undead.
A pleasant chime rang out as the system's unlocking process finished, signalling its completion. Zorvax's anticipation was at its peak, and he quickly navigated to the fourth option, curious about what it had to offer.

[Evolution List]
[1. Zombie Warrior: 500 Evolution Points to evolve]
[2. Zombie Gunner: 600 Evolution Points to evolve]
[3. Zombie Assassin: 700 Evolution Points to evolve]
[4. Zombie Leader: 1000 Evolution Points to evolve]

Zorvax carefully scanned the options before him, his curiosity piqued. When he saw that the fourth option was labelled "Zombie Leader," he raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Zombie Leader?" he muttered to himself. "Sounds like a zombie that could lead others. In this apocalyptic world, numbers are essential, and the most expensive option must be something good."
After a moment of contemplation, he made up his mind and selected the fourth option. He felt that evolving into a Zombie Leader, someone who could command and guide other zombies, was a valuable role to play in a world where strength in numbers often made the difference between survival and demise.
The system responded to his choice with a straightforward query:
---
[Do you want to evolve to Zombie Leader?]
[Yes/No]
---
Zorvax's heart pounded with excitement. He had chosen this path, and he was more than ready to take on the role of a leader among the undead.
With unwavering resolve, he selected "Yes." The system confirmed his decision, and Zorvax couldn't help but smile at the prospect of his new evolution. The opportunity to become a Zombie Leader filled him with anticipation and determination.
As Zorvax confirmed his decision to evolve into a Zombie Leader, the world around him seemed to warp and shift. He was enveloped in a dark aura, a shroud of transformation that veiled him from view. It was as though the very essence of his being was undergoing a profound change.
Time passed, and within the cocoon of darkness, Zorvax felt his existence shift and reshape. It was an odd sensation, a blend of excitement and uncertainty, as he embarked on this new phase of his undead existence.
After what felt like an eternity, the dark cocoon that had surrounded him began to dissolve, revealing the newly evolved Zorvax. His body had transformed significantly. While his appearance was now much closer to that of a human, there were still distinct differences that marked him as an undead.
His once ragged and tattered zombie form had been replaced with a perfect, human-like body. His limbs were well-proportioned, his muscles defined, and he stood with a sense of poise and authority. However, his skin retained its pale grey hue, a lasting testament to his undead nature.
Zorvax observed his new body with a mix of astonishment and self-discovery. "I'm not quite human, but I'm not the same zombie I once was," he muttered, examining his transformed physique. His voice held a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.
With his evolved appearance, Zorvax was ready to take on the role of a Zombie Leader. He knew that the challenges ahead would be significant, but he felt invigorated by the possibilities that lay before him.
Zorvax's transformation into a Zombie Leader also came with a set of new attributes, and he eagerly examined his updated stats:
---
[Name: Zorvax]
[Race: Zombie Leader]
[Level: 2]
[Abilities:]
[1. Pain Immunity]
[2. Zombie Horde Manipulation]
[Evolution Points: 118]
---
With his newfound stats and abilities as a Zombie Leader, Zorvax couldn't help but ponder his progress. "I've reached Level 2, and now I can manipulate a Zombie Horde," he mused, acknowledging the significance of his evolution. The ability to control a group of fellow zombies held the promise of strategic advantages and increased survival odds in the unforgiving world he inhabited.
Yet, despite his pride in the newfound abilities, Zorvax's excitement was tempered by his evolution points. "Only 118 evolution points," he said with a hint of disappointment. The numbers fell short of his expectations, and he realized that gathering more would be a demanding challenge.
With his newly acquired Zombie Leader attributes and a mix of emotions in his undead heart, Zorvax was eager to explore the evolution options further. He wanted to check what lay ahead, curious about the potential avenues of growth that the system might offer.
He said to himself, "I wonder what other possibilities there are for me." As he navigated the menu to enter the evolution options, something unexpected caught his eye. There, before him, was a new, previously unseen option.
Intrigued and somewhat puzzled, Zorvax muttered, "What is this?" He hadn't expected a new choice to appear so soon after his transformation into a Zombie Leader.
He focused on the mysterious new option, a question mark shrouding its identity. It was a testament to the unpredictable nature of the undead world, a place where evolution and change were constant companions.
With a sense of curiosity and wonder, Zorvax clicked on the unknown option to discover what it held in store for him. The possibilities of this evolving world were endless, and he was ready to embrace each new challenge and opportunity it presented.
