Human Encounter
'This is totally unreal, I legit got isekied, and this panel must be my cheat in this world unless others also have one too.' Victor said in his mind as he studied the floating panel and the writings that were written on it.
'Level 1 huh? I guess that is to be expected since everything starts at level 1. Name... Zomebie#2314?' Victor had only seen the zombie around him, and although he was unable to check himself because he didn't have control of his body, he had suspected something along the lines, but not that he was one himself.
'Race... These stats are a little... There's nothing to say about this, it's just terrible.'
Victor continued looking at the panel for a while thinking about something, how to close the panel. Since he couldn't move, using his hands was out of the question, and there was no close or x anywhere on the panel. After a while, he remembered something and for the first time tried to use his mind to close it. It wasn't how he expected it to work, but he was able to close it through that method. 'If I had known, I would have read more novels and watched more anime.'
...
According to Victor's record, it had been close to a day since he came here, but being unable to control himself, he couldn't explore the place as he wanted. All he could do was be a spectator and think of things to do after he regain his consciousness.
'This has become boring now. It's been more than 34 hours since I got here, but still nothing.' Just as he was lamenting his situation, Victor sighted a pack of wolves with burning tails. 'Those are some strange wolves. I think it'll be better to refer to them as monsters, seeing as we are in this cave or very possibly, a dungeon.
Victor's group continued slouching forward as they drew closer to the wolf pack, just as they have been doing. Victor was unsure how the situation would play out as he saw the wolves' hostile behaviour. There was the possibility that there would be no confrontation since they were all mobs in the dungeon, but that was only if the system in place worked like in games. The wolves could also attack if this is not a game set up, besides, there are games where monsters might attack each other.
As his group of about 8 Zombies drew closer to the pack, the growls got louder and following that, the two zombies in front of the group dashed towards the wolves with their hands held out a bit while screeching all the way. Wasting no time, the wolves responded, and even before the zombies got to them, they pounced on them, ripping off their heads and limbs even before the zombies could react.
'This is insane. It was that easy?' Victor thought to himself as he tried to control his body to move and run away. 'I have to get out of here somehow, I have to. I can't die like this! Not yet!' He was closer to the rear of the group, so now he had three more zombies before him before the wolves got to him.
The wolves paused for a while after doing away with the first two that charged forward, then it seemed they decided to just clear the easy prey to take care of future disturbance as one wolf dashed forward with speed. They probably saw that one of them would be enough for the job, as the rest remained behind.
The third zombie went for the wolf but got its hand torn off by the wolf's claw, followed by its head. The fourth zombie got its head cut off, and the fifth followed, and then Victor's turn was reached. As he got his head torn off, a system message popped into his vision, but he could not read it because of the instant death.
'So this is how I die huh? It didn't suck to be a zombie as much as I thought it would, it's all good.' His vision went black and then he felt like he was losing his consciousness, and then -.

The system message wrote. It was the first thing Victor saw as he opened his eyes. 'Effect of the dungeon? What's that?' Victor said in his head as he's eyes opened. 'Good thing is I'm still alive, is that even a good thing?' While he stood idle talking to himself in his head, 7 other zombies spawned near him.
'Something feels weird.' Victor noticed something off about his body, for some reason, he could feel himself and something else creepy about his body. He turned his head a bit in shock and looked around; it felt natural just like the body he was used to.
'What's that eerie feeling I'm having?' As he checked his body, he saw something that had been going over his head all the while. His body was pale with wounds everywhere and maggots constantly going in and out of his body. 'At least I don't feel them crawling everywhere.'
The zombies that spawned close to him immediately came together to form a small group and started their patrol. Victor contemplated whether or not to follow them. He could move on his own now, so he didn't have to follow, so he went the opposite way.
As he walked, he noticed that he had a limp in his steps, so he checked and saw the huge dent on his ankle and heel. 'How am I even able to walk? Guess being a zombie has its perks.' He fantasized about what would happen when he met humans countless times already, but the only outcome he could visualize was being attacked on the spot.
Just as he was still in the thought of what would happen and what to do if he met another monster, he heard footsteps coming from a distance. 'It seems to be coming from that chamber. Should I go there or just run?'...
As he got to the front of the small chamber, he saw four people inside that had their backs turned against the entrance. 'People! I would be good if I could talk to them, or at least say something that would keep them from attacking.'
"Zombie!! It's a Zombie! Shoot it now!" One of them said as soon as he saw Victor.
'No! wait!'

'No shit, some low-rank zombie is what I am. Leveling up should fix that right? But being one of the weakest monsters in this dungeon, how am I supposed to do that if I die on the first shot!'
Following that incident, he died about twenty more times. After his 20th death, he had the best Idea he had thought of since he arrived in this world. Since he was the weakest monster in the dungeon, it would be impossible to level up, basically a fool's errand. Instead, he would attack his fellow weak zombies, truly genius.
'The next time I die and get respawned, I'll carry out this plan. Let's check what the system was about earlier, a notification popped, but I couldn't read it.' Victor said in his head as he stood there on the spot he just spawned, this time just him. This time, without speaking and just thinking about it, the system panel appeared.
