Level up Zombie

There was a slight thought in Zain's mind when he had received the system, that perhaps there was a goal behind it, something that it wanted him to do. Now that he had met the creator, he thought that she might know what that goal was.

Or perhaps there was a large server-like machine where she could input the quests into it, and it would direct him where he was going. Yet in the end, after meeting one of the creators, he seemed quite disappointed by the answer.

Still, he couldn't shake off this feeling that the system maybe had grown beyond what the creators had intended and it had its own purposes, because why would it show him visions of the past, of the lives of the creators. On top of that, why would it tell him to meet the two creators of the whole zombie mess in the first place.

It was almost as if the system wanted him to learn the truth.

"So, let me just make sure I have my facts right." Zain stated. "You, Sarah Bain and Hanfree Bain were both working on the Reborn project, a project to try and control the zombie virus and learn what it does.

"In turn you both created the system together, a way to make sure that zombies would turn into Reborn zombies like me. I was the prototype but it was too late. The meteor strike that had brought these demons over had managed to disturb one of your facilities allowing for the outbreak to happen. Is that right so far?"

Sarah nodded.

"Then, what do you mean when you say that the two of you went your separate ways? Why isn't he helping you now with the Reborn Group, and what are you and him even trying to do still with the Reborn group if your mission already failed?" Zain asked.

Sarah took a moment to answer, he wondered if it was a complicated matter for her because of who was involved, her husband, or the fact that she was trying to come up with some lie that could put all of the pieces together.

"When you first came, you asked me if I was responsible for creating the zombie virus. I told you that I wasn't and I more so discovered it, but that doesn't change one fact. I still feel responsible for the zombie virus.

"The Reborn Zombies, I feel like have been dragged in the middle of all of this when they didn't ask for it. Most of them here at the facility aren't part of the military of any sort or are just like you, a normal student.

"I am still trying to complete my goal, and that is creating a cure, to turn the zombies back to humans. I believe that studying the Reborn is the closest to that. The fact that you have told me that you were able to make a regular zombie into one like yourself, a Reborn, makes me believe even more in that goal.

"Those that stayed with me, those that are close to me at this facility and the ones that regularly go out on these missions, also believe in the goal. You see, some of the zombies have naturally become more developed and we split these into different stages.

"What we have found is that different stage zombies produce different crystals, and the crystals seem to be the key to helping out the Reborn into evolving. I am hoping to understand the Reborn, and the zombies by studying all of these crystals."

What Sarah had said so far seemed to be true based on Zain's own experience as well, as he had found the crystals helped improve the others, while himself, the crystal in the zombies seemed to disappear into exp through the system for him.

"For your second question, as I said, me and my husband, or ex-husband unofficially, our goals greatly differ. He wishes to use the crystals to power the zombies, to create an army of super zombies and in doing so, get rid of the demons that are here.

"Why he had attacked you back then, I have no idea, maybe he was low on brains to feed his force, or he thought he could get something out of attacking you."

That answer for Zain wasn't good enough, because those explanations in his head didn't make any sense, and there was something else he didn't mention why he was left alive.

"I have answered all of your questions to the best of my ability and I have explained what we do here as well as what we can do to help you. Now it is up to you to decide, do you and your friend wish to help us, help us find a way to turn you back to human." Sarah asked with a smile.please visit

When she had put it that way, the answer seemed simple… but he still looked at Skittle for confirmation.

"Zain, I will go wherever you go, you know that."

Inside the facility, Kun, Pink and Kelly were all waiting patiently to see if Zain would stay or at least had been accepted into the facility. It had been a long time, a lot longer than when they had first arrived, and were starting to think if they would have to leave the facility to try and search for Zain again.

Just then, Sid had opened the door, and in doing so they could see a small short zombie and a redhead standing next to him.

"Zain!" Pink shouted.

Going over to where the others were, Zain looked at them all.

"It looks like I will be in the Reborn group… for now." Zain stated.

Up above, watching everything on the third floor through a one-way glass window, Sarah was looking at everything, and by her side X was standing there as well.

"People seem to gather around him and trust him quite a bit, and his strength is not something to laugh at." X said. "Don't you think he could become a dangerous influence if he found out the truth?"

"For now it's fine, it's better that he is here with us, rather than on his side."
