Chapter 255 - Zombie Player I
The patch that added the undead character creation has finally finished. All servers are up and running smoothly. There are an influx of characters that wanted to become undead both new and old.
I am a simple person. If I see a zombie option then I would definitely become one. I am currently in the character creation interface as I deleted my previous character because I really love zombies so much. That is why this game, Pandemonium, is really the best.
There are difficulties of becoming an undead as there are reports of them being automatically kicked out from their guilds because undead are not considered humans. If your guild is reported to house an undead then you will be banned from certain cities or towns.
I do not really care about that because I am not a person that plays well with others. It seems that loving creepy stuff does not bode well for others especially for girls. Anyways, I would love to play with others who have the same mindset as mine. It would be nice to not be judged for a change just because you like horror genre stuff and collectibles.
Since I picked Zombie as my undead species, I can only pick the Undead King’s faction but I am fine with that. The Arch Lich looks like my boss in real life so I do not want to choose his side anyway. A king is better because they are benevolent right?
I did not edit my character much as the base look is already beyond my imagination. The hair could be set as disheveled or bald patches. The eyes do not change much as it is the traditional sunken eyes or if you choose missing one eye. The skin color can also be change from gray to a deathly green color. You can also add patches of bruise and such to add personality to your avatar.
The zombies also walked in a cool manner. A little hunched but not so much because that would impede movement and may have repercussions on the player’s daily life. Zombies also have poisonous skin and nails so any physical contact with them can result in being poisoned which is awesome.
Once I am completely satisfied, I already selected to be transported to the Undead King. It is not like I would immediately meet the undead king anyway. I would probably meet just one of his generals. .

I regained my vision and it was a place unlike what I have seen when I was an average level player. It seems that I have been transported to a place called Terra Mortuis. I am not the only one though as there are countless others with me.
In front of me is a mighty undead with four arms that looked like they could easily crush rocks. It seems that all who are near me are zombies. It seems that your training to level ten will be different depending on the species of undead that one chooses.
“My name is Valar. It seems that you have noble and great hearts to choose to be in the service of the undead king. The Undead King will grant you audience if anyone is considered gifted enough to be beside him.” Valar stated as he eyed every zombie in his gaze.
“Just because we are undead does not mean that we are weak. We are strong because we are undead. I myself once started just like you a mere zombie but look at me now.” Valar stated as he flexed his muscles.
I am really impressed that he was a zombie before but how did he become buff like that. All zombies in my vision are lanky and absent of any form of muscle but we still have them. It seems that only us, zombies, have the capability to use great strength because we have muscles unlike skeletons and wraiths.
“That is enough for the introduction. Choose your job classes now so that you can test your mettle in the trial grounds before you.” Valar stated before he left for the huge castle that is in the distance.
I went to check what are the job classes are available. To my great surprise, all of the base classes are available. I thought that undead could not choose the priest job class but it seems I was wrong. Should I choose to become a holy zombie?
I would want to but I was a brawler in my previous character before I reset it so I might go warrior again then change to brawler. My way of releasing the stress I collected is punching the living daylights out of monsters anyway. Maybe one day, I could become like that instructor and become a muscular zombie.
I also wanted to test the summoner option but I talked to the NPC and it said that all summons will turn into an undead variant. It would be cool but we will receive 50% more damage against holy attribute spells and attacks.
Wait! 50%? I thought that undead were supposed to get double damage from holy element damage. I should check my system interface.
[You are under the protection of the God of Death. Holy attribute spells and attacks will only deal 50% increased damage upon you. You also have a shorter respawn timer that is one hour real world time.]
Amazing! But who the heck is the God of Death? Even in literatures, he is not spoken about but thank you very much. It makes sense since there is a Goddess of Life so it makes sense that there is a God of Death. Anyways, I asked the priest undead but it told me that the Church of Death has yet to emerge but we can still use the faith.
Should I become a Paladin of Death? That would be awesome but that would mean giving up becoming a brawler. I should just go with where I am good at and choose warrior.
