Chapter 211: Rot (1/2)
-----
Chaos looked at the soul of this dragon zombie with intrigue. This peculiar new companion had a completely different soul than anything he had ever seen before, it was quite peculiar, to say the least. This entire being's power was composed of death… pure and utter death.
The dragon looked at him as if it knew him from somewhere.
”Who are you?” wondered Chaos.
”Grahh…”
The dragon zombie released a small groan, as it walked backwards and then sat down.
It suddenly began to ponder who it was… until it finally gained a few memories of its past, of its previous life…
Much like Abyss, this Zombie Dragon came from that other world, the Earth-like world where an apocalypse had occurred. After the death of Chaos, there were many facilities that continued doing experiments using his Miasma and Chaos Magic in secret.
Despite how the public learned about him and there were many movements against the experimentation of magic in living beings, this never went anywhere, and any attempt at assaulting known facilities ended in the governments acting boldly against the very people, shooting them down and treating them as criminals.
Due to this, Abyss was not the only victim after this, many orphan kids suffered a similar fate, if not worse… amongst the first batches of kids that were brought into experimentation facilities and forced to be used as guinea pigs, there was one of them that had a rather miserable existence.
It was a young boy with no ability whatsoever, an excellent specimen for the experimentation of the usage of Miasma and Chaos Mana. Without powers, there wouldn't be anything getting in the way of it developing the powers of Chaos.
What the scientists in this world ultimately wanted was to recreate Chaos once more, an even stronger and more resilient Chaos they could extract the power from, an endless source of Chaos energy.
However, all their attempts had ended in a failure, and this young and powerless boy was no exception, made as a vessel of chaos as they thought he could become the perfect vessel, they slowly injected miasma and chaos mana into his body, and then saw him change, adapt, and… die.
He died right after a few hours of being experimented on, without any type of powerups in failure. He just died because his body couldn't take the energy and the miasma, it was almost about to explode but instead it died and began to decompose…
The scientists were utterly disappointed! They ended throwing him into the trash, and forgot about this failure after a few days of work in their field once more. However, the boy was somehow still ”alive”.
After waking up inside a bag in the middle of trash, he slowly began to crawl around, eating living beings and growing stronger, never stopping. He seems to not have truly died but he developed a new ability, becoming the first Undead in this world.
