⚰️ Chapter 2: Undead

I stared down at the lifeless corpses around me.

They were once desperate survivors.

Now... just hollow shells with empty eyes.

I didn't feel pity.

Only opportunity.

Suddenly, a system window flickered into existence.

[Plunderer System – Undead Summoning Activated]

—Name: Tri Lac

—Status: Undead

—Skill: None

—Name: Van Vinh

—Status: Undead

—Skill: Strategy

—Name: Vien Tri

—Status: Undead

—Skill: None

What the hell is this?

Three names.

Three bodies under my command.

Only one of them caught my eye:

> "Van Vinh – Skill: Strategy."

Strategy?

Can a corpse… really think?

I didn't know how it worked yet—

but I knew one thing:

They can get stronger.

---

In the distance, a lone survivor limped across the ruins.

I pointed.

"Attack."

Two zombies rushed forward, grappling the man from both sides.

The third one moved in, twisted his neck with a sharp snap.

---

[Target Eliminated.

Undead Unit Leveling Up...]

The system's voice echoed cold and clear.

I smirked.

> Perfect. They grow stronger through bloodshed.

---

But then—

Hunger hit me like a wave. My body trembled.

I looked down at the corpse on the ground.

The wound was still warm.

—No… I'm not eating humans...

I knelt beside him and placed my hand over his chest.

The system responded.

---

[Undead Summoning: Complete.]

—New unit added to the horde.

---

My hunger didn't fade.

I staggered… and another interface opened.

---

[Inventory – Temporary Unlock]

—2 Buckets of Water

—1 String

---

What is this junk?

Then it hit me—

Memories from my Minecraft days.

My mind shifted gears.

I punched a dead tree and gathered some wood.

Crafted a crafting table.

Used the string and stick to make… a fishing rod.

Dug a hole.

Poured the water.

Dropped the line.

Snap.

A cod tugged the bait.

I made a campfire.

Cooked the fish.

Then I took a bite.

> Still alive.
