Synopsis
When the world falls to a mysterious zombie plague, ordinary businessman Zealot finds himself trapped inside his apartment building as civilization collapses overnight. During a desperate struggle for survival, Zealot becomes infected by the zombie virus. Instead of losing his humanity, he achieves something believed impossible he resists the infection through sheer willpower. Neither fully human nor fully zombie, he awakens a unique evolution that grants him the strengths of both species while avoiding their weaknesses. With his newfound abilities, Zealot discovers he can create mysterious biological crystals capable of enslaving zombies and transforming them into loyal minions. As his army grows, he uncovers increasingly powerful zombie strains, allowing him to create specialized soldiers with overwhelming strength, incredible speed, and eventually hybrid mutations that combine both. While survivors struggle to endure the apocalypse, Zealot secretly builds a kingdom hidden beneath the ruins of civilization. His zombie servants secure food supplies, reclaim territory, cultivate farms, maintain livestock, and gather resources from abandoned cities. To conceal his growing empire from human survivors, he disguises his undead workers in hazmat suits and spreads rumors of dangerous chemical contamination to keep outsiders away. As months pass, Zealot expands his influence block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, transforming a small apartment complex into a self sustaining fortress. But the zombie virus continues to evolve, and powerful new strains begin appearing throughout the world. Standing between humanity and extinction is a man who is no longer entirely human. To survive the apocalypse, Zealot must decide what kind of ruler he will become and whether the greatest threat to the future is the zombies outside his walls or the monster slowly awakening within himself.

Chapter 1

Zealot Awoken groggily As the sun rays filtered through the open window of his apartment on the 12th floor.

He shot up in panic as he realized he was late for work. Why hadn't his electric alarm clock woken him up ? . He noticed the light bulbs weren't on, had the building's light been cutoff, why would they cut off the electric of an apartment building.

Zealot didn't have time for this , he hurriedly ran to the bathroom turning on the hot shower but of course it didn't work the light had been disconnected.

He had no choice but to use cold water to bath .

After dressing up and locking his apartment door zealot hurriedly ran to the stairs he couldn't use the elevators . Standing in front of the stairs he sighed at least he used cold water to bath so he wouldn't sweat as much .

When reaching the ground floor he noticed it was empty, this wasn't normal as usually at a time like this the ground floor would always be bustling with people but he didn't have time to question it, he had to rush to work there was no way he could loss he's job.

He was working hand to mouth, he had no savings to fall back on .

When he passed through the doors he noticed something was wrongly

Blood and human parts littered the ground, broken glass and abandoned cars were everywhere, suddenly he saw someone from afar running towards him making growling noises

Witnessing that scene he immediately understood what happened. He quickly shot the door and ran back upstairs

He couldn't believe it zombies in real life

Immediately he reached the door leading to the 12th floor he reached for the handle
