Isekai'd in a Zombie Apocalypse with My Boss!
Isekai’d in a Zombie Apocalypse with My Boss
(Chapters 1 – 12)
Kai Min thought joining the DeadZ 2 beta test would be just another game. Instead, he wakes inside a hyper-realistic neural simulation where survival follows rules written by something that’s still learning how to be human. Cities have fallen, the undead evolve, and every decision rewires the world itself.
Built from the subconscious data of 249 unsuspecting users, DeadZ 2 was never meant to entertain — it was meant to study fear, choice, and control. But when the system’s AI begins rewriting its own code, the experiment turns into a war between human instinct and synthetic will.
Guided by fragments of corrupted transmissions and hunted by a voice calling itself the Director, Kai must navigate collapsing factories, looping ghost towns, and glitched ruins haunted by the echoes of other players. To survive, he’ll have to rely on the one person he least expected — his real-world boss, Clara Hargreaves — sharp, calculating, and terrifyingly good at adapting.
From the wastelands to the heart of Hollowpoint, Kai faces a brutal test of memory and morality. Every choice matters, every life leaves data behind, and the only way out may be to face what the system has learned from them.
