[Apocalypse + ruthless protagonist + not a mindless power fantasy]
Have you ever watched scales and bone spurs slowly grow on your arm?
Have you ever, despite being human, started craving raw flesh and blood?
Within a rotting shell lies the coldest and most calculating hunting instinct.
The Three Realms merge, and corpse poison ravages the mountains and seas.
Every exotic beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas that entered Earth was transformed into a zombie. Not one escaped.
Humans were infected too, becoming zombies.
Each person gets one scar, and can fuse with only one creature in their lifetime.
Fuse with a fragment, and you’ll suffer hallucinations for the rest of your life as your body slowly mutates.
Or risk fusing with a complete creature. Fail, and you’ll become a mindless monster.
While everyone else slaughters one another over their fusion targets,
I stand atop a rooftop piled with bones.
The bloody scar on my forehead slowly splits open.
An ancient tree entwined with countless blood-red coffins bursts from the ground behind me.
Inside every coffin lies a powerful zombie species I devoured.
Only yesterday did I discover it:
Deep within the Blood Coffin Tree, in the main coffin that has never been opened,
I am the one lying inside.
P.S. A wide variety of monsters.
