survived
Five days after the incidence.
Edward was still lying lifelessly on the floor. Rays of sunlight fell on his body through the broken door.
Making the eerie sight visible to whoever passed by.
Some zombies stumbled into the room but quickly left after seeing Edwards corpse.
A few moments later, Edwards' eyes suddenly opened abruptly like someone just stabbed hot iron into his butt.
He groaned as he experienced mind shattering pain, pain that was more than what he experienced when that zombie ate him alive.
His eyes were blood red, similar to those of zombies. Clearly, he wasn't conscious yet, this was supposed to be the transforming process before becoming a zombie, but Edward's case was special.
After hours of suffering hellish pain all over his body, Edward laid motionless as a statue again, he lost consciousness.
Still unconscious, Edwards body started going through some miraculous changes. His body parts started to regenerate.
Starting from his deformed face that had suffered from both the female zombie and Elsa's viciousness, his facial features started to recover at a mind blowing speed.
After some seconds, his face was finally fully restored to glory, he even looked more handsome than before.
Following this process, his limbs also started to grow back, one could faintly see the green veins that spread all over his arms and legs.
His organs also formed back, and in place of his heart which had been pulled out by the zombie, Edward's body had already conjured a round shaped black and red objects. If one looked carefully, they could see the object beating just like a normal heart would while green liquid flowed out of it into the multiple green veins attached to it.
This was the zombie heart, also known as a virus box.
Every zombie had one in place of their hearts after transformation, only that Edward's zombie heart was red and black instead of just the usual black because his transformation was not a success nor a failure.
His other organs also regenerated soon after, his intestines, kidneys, lungs and bones.
Edward's new bones shone faintly with silver luster, making one mistake them for steels instead of bones, it was quite obvious that Edward's new body was stronger than normal humans.
After all his body parts successfully regenerated, Edwards' unconscious body began to tremble violently, like an earthquake was happening within him.
This process lasted for more than an hour till his body became motionless again.
Two days quickly passed after Edwards' change and during these two days, his body would tremble occasionally for hours before returning tranquil.
On the third day after his transformation.
Edwards eyelid fluttered gently, his eyebrows arched into a frown.
His eyelid slowly raised as he opened his eyes, his pupil constricted as the brightness of the sun assaulted him the moment his eyes opened.
"Am I in the after life now?" Edward thought to himself.
He didn't know how much time had passed since he last took in oxygen but he sure felt refreshed.
He tried to feel his body and was shocked as his body jerked up with so much force. He had only tried to check if he could still move but didn't expect to be able to. He was delighted!
"I'm really in the after life"
Edward nodded with mixed feelings, something within him was making him feel reluctant to die just like that.
Edward looked around him.
"This is..."
He frowned deeply, this place gave him a feeling of deja vu. He remembered dying, he remembered what cursed his death but he couldn't remember anything else.
His mind was foggy and hazy, he couldn't think straight.
He closed his eyes and put all his focus into digging information from his brain.
Minutes later, Edward opened his eyes, his expression filled with horror.
"Did I reincarnate into this apocalypse planet after dying?? " he was terrified.
Did the heavens hate him that much? They couldn't let him live a happy afterlife after dying and just had to send him back? Why???
Edward was drowning himself in sorrowful thoughts when something suddenly clicked in his mind.
"Wait, that doesn't seem right. If I reincarnated, shouldn't I be a baby by now? " He questioned himself.
Edward looked down on his body and found out that he was still in the bloody tattered clothes he was wearing on the day he had experienced hell personally.
And... the blood...
"This smell.... it smelled like....candy? It Should be tasty, right?"
Edwards eyes widened again at his own thoughts, he suddenly realized something
He was bitten by a zombie, he was awake right now, blood smelled nice to him instead of making him feel nauseous like usual.
"Ahhhhh!!! I'm a zombie! I'm a zombie!" Edward suddenly laid back on the floor and started crying.
Dozens of zombies who were walking aimlessly outside were attracted by the sound he made and they all rushed towards his direction.
Edward, who was busy crying, suddenly caught the smell of something that made his crying exhibition pause momentarily.
"Ewww! What an awful stench" Edward pinched his nose to avoid breathing in more of the disgusting smell.
He had no word to describe the stench. He had never perceived anything like this before, not even since zombies started to roam around like flies.
Still pinching his nose, Edward suddenly realized something. He could smell and could get irritated, he could control his body...
H-he wasn't a zombie! He was truly alive.
A great wave of happiness soon burst inside of him. He placed his hands on his chest and could feel his beating heart.
Didn't that female zombie rip his heart out?
Edward quickly pushed the thoughts out of his mind. He didn't care how he survived or how his body recovered, at least for now, all he knew was that he wasn't dead yet.
Edward suddenly realized that the ray of sunlight wasn't reaching him anymore. Did someone move the sun??
He raised his head and his eyes opened wide enough for his eyeballs to shoot out.
Zombies! Dozens of them!!!
Edward fell into despair. He had just rejoiced about being alive and he was going to die again? This time, he was certain to die for real as he believed that not even the thing that saved him earlier could save him again.
So many zombies! Would even his fingers be left after they were done with him??
