When Cha Xiaoer opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a sticky pool of blood.
This wasn't her rental apartment crammed with figurines. She was in an unfamiliar man's body, wearing bloodstained work pants, surrounded by rotting groans and severed limbs.
Well, would you look at that, she'd transmigrated into the body of Li, an extra in The Walking Dead who didn't even make it onto the cast list.
No System, no superpowers, just a brain stuffed with memes and snark from twenty years as an anime fan.
While everyone else was still screaming about what kind of monster this was, she rubbed her chin and analyzed the classic zombie template: movement speed like a 2G connection loading, and an aggro range wider than a fan club's.
When her teammates worried about supplies, she pulled out the three essentials every hot-blooded manga protagonist gets from the start: a fire axe she'd scavenged, half a bottle of mineral water, and a sticky note that said “Keep striving.”
When the group was trapped with no way out, she climbed onto the car roof and shouted, “Everyone, our goal is to turn every zombie in this crappy world into fan-made content!”
Now Li stood on the horizon as a horde of corpses surged toward her, with a growing team at her back. She wiped the blood from her face and grinned, flashing white teeth. “Keep up, will you? You're moving like me waiting for the next update. Next stop: we're chopping up the boss of this apocalypse!”
