How to survive an apocalypse: Survival Guide 101

Imagine you're reincarnated into your favourite novel... but, it just so happens to be set in 2160 in the middle of a zombyre apocalypse! Pretty low chances of that happening... right? Or, so I thought...

How to survive an apocalypse: Survival Guide 101

Prologue:

Dear Diary, 

It's me again. Pretty hard to believe, right? Well, this is definitely not the last you've seen of Primrose Ivie. It's been a while since my last entry so I figured I'd fill you in on the chaos that is my life. But, even though loads of things have changed now, there are still at least 2 things that have remained a constant imprint on my life. Firstly, my ridiculously, flowery name and secondly, my constant averageness in almost everything. Which is weird because being here has changed pretty much everything else about me. Where is here you may currently be asking…well, I don't know either. 

Currently, I'm 19 and living my best/worst life depending on what day you ask me but it wasn't always like this. I thought that this year was going to just be another regular year (as regular as your last year of high school can be anyway). I wasn't expecting anything too special or mundane. Getting good grades, hanging out with my boyfriend and friends in the summer, and celebrating my 19th birthday. Normal things that weren't all that much to ask for. Well… so I thought anyway. I've currently been here for… two months. Or there about. Honestly, it feels like the concept of time doesn't even matter anymore. Nothing really does now. 

Before this incident which I'm fond of calling the event which shall not be named, I only ever heard of this kind of event happening in novels and comic books that I used to love reading but… I guess now this happened to me. I guess now I can officially say that I've been isekai-ed into my favourite novel. And of all the novels it had to be this one. I mean what are the odds that you're transported into an apocalyptic future where you get magical weapons that spawn at your wish and never miss their target? If this wasn't the life I was living right now, it'd be pretty sick. But now… not so much. I doubt that many people on Earth would genuinely enjoy being in a zombyre apocalypse. Even the ones who claim that they're 'survival experts'. I know that because that's the life I'm resigned to now and trust me, it's not as straightforward as they make it seem in the movies, books or games. It's gross, endless and freaking terrifying. 

And, to make it even worse, our 'zombies' aren't even proper zombies. They don't even need to eat flesh and brains to survive! And, of course, they have abnormal abilities as well as enhanced, superhuman speed and strength. I should probably explain a bit about the zombies here. They're called zombyres and as well as being insanely fast and strong, each of them come with a special ability that makes them hard to kill. Long story short, they're basically dead people who are a mix of zombies and vampyres. And yes, we do have vampyres as well because for some reason, there's pretty much every supernatural creature here. Werewolves, ghouls, mermaids, you name it. 

In case I end up developing amnesia or some crazy stuff like that (this always happens in apocalypses), at least I'll have some kind of log to remember everything about myself and my situation. I'm gonna try not to spill too much in case this manages to get into the wrong hands but I guess it's been pretty confusing for you, hearing this random jumble of events and all, so I'll explain everything from the very beginning…

This is my first time writing on any kind of public platform so I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know what you think about my story and comment about it :)
