《Corpse》Ch 1 - Corpse.
Advertisement
Catherine stared at the option presented before her.
… Corpse?
I’m dead? But if I’m dead, why the hell can I select a class at all? This explains why I can’t feel anything but I have so many questions.
If I choose “No”, do I die for real? Do I stay like this forever? I don’t want to be stuck like this!
Calm down Cat, It’s gonna be okay. Maybe this class will let me move at leaset It doesn’t say that but… well I don’t see a better option.
Fuck it.
Class Accepted!
You are now a Corpse!
…

Well?

Effects (1)
Rigor Mortis (State)
You are dead. Body and movement attributes are 0, and charisma is halved. Unless action is taken, this effect upgrades to Decay (state) over time.
Okay, I get it. I’m dead. You don’t need to keep rubbing it in.
So most of my stats are useless, and I don’t seem to be able to move. Great. Seems like nothing changed
Catherine kept attempting to find something in her status that could save her, and struggling to move a muscle even just to look a different direction or inhale. But nothing worked. Minutes turned into hours, which very much felt like days or longer.

I think I’m going to go crazy like this. I’d do anything just for something to change. I’ve re-read all my stats and info so many times, I can recite it all from memory. Not that there's much of interest.
And as hours dragged by and the sun set and rose, soon days had passed and still no sign of change.
Oh good, my status effect changed, yaaaay. She sarcastically thought.
Effects (1)
Decay (State)
You are dead. Body and movement attributes are 0, and charisma is -10. You emit a disgusting stench..
Maybe selecting this class was a mistake, what if I could have gotten a different one somehow? What, by sitting on your ass you idiot? No, it said there's a way to get classes normally but I doubt I could do so like this. Maybe someone will come and find me and help me evolve my class? Or at least finish me off…
Further days passed and she could do nothing but watch as flies buzzed around her, landed on her, burrowed into her.
Please, if I can’t do anything, at least let me die. If there’s a god listening, or anyone, or anything.
And then just when she’d given up hope… No, that’s wrong, she’d given up hope quite quickly, and then forced herself to hope again, and lost all hope again, over and over for days. But nonetheless, just as she was giving up yet again and cursing who-or what-ever was responsible for her plight, something changed.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
