《Corpse》Ch 3 - Undead
Advertisement
After days of nothing but waiting and hoping (and rotting), something changed for Catherine. She heard voices.
…
No not like that, someone was nearby!
Oh my god! Another person! They can help me, HELP! I can’t speak, I can’t yell, FUCK!
But with this new system thing, they’ll be able to tell that I’m still alive… -ish, won’t they?
Oh here he is! Damn, he’s buff. Okay, big guy, help me, please.
…
Oh hey there’s two of you, so what’s-
“The poor bastard didn’t even make it to class selection I’d bet.”
“He… or she… must have gotten crushed during the earthquake in the beginning. Not a bad way to go all considered.”
“She? Hah! Good one, Mark! See that gaming headset there? Definitely a guy.”
Yaaaaaaaaaaay stereotypes. Shut up and help me.
Wait what did he say? Fuck I wasn’t paying attention. Something about baths and movement builds?
Okay he’s carrying me, sorry for the.. Grossness. Oh gods, those were inside me???
Catherine was sure that if she could, she would have vomited at the sight of the various creepy crawlies that fell out of and off of her as she was lifted onto the man’s shoulder.
Okay so maybe he’s taking me to where someone can help.
Oh its an empty lot, a meeting place?
…
Oh no.
From her upside down vantage point, catherine could finally see where she was being taken. She was going to be put in a mass grave, already occupied by a great number of corpses in varying states of decay.
Wait, they’re saying something, please notice that I’m not dead.
PLEASE!!!
“So many died that first day, and so many die each day since…”
“I know, big guy, but we’ll remember them. We have to.”
No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no.
And Catherine fell into the ditch with the other rotting human carcasses.
No! Don’t Leave me here! Please!
Catherine watched as the two men walked away from the pit and out of her view.
C’mon Cat, it’ll be okay. Someone will come by, or something will happen, or… something… please…
Time passed without help, but just as she was losing hope, she heard voices once more, growing louder.
“Got another one for the pile, Jimmy”
“I can see that. Toss ‘em in on the left side, gettin’ a bit full on the others.”
“Gotcha Jimmy.”
Please, please, please notice me. Help me. Anything. Anyone…
And Catherine saw a face, peeking over the edge of the pit.

And then it’s cold, dead eyes plummeted directly towards her.
Oh god what-
And the newly arrived body, fell right onto Catherine, with a wet smack.
Ugh No! Ugh! EWWWWWWWWW!
OH GOD IT’S DRIPPING! IT’S GETTING IN MY MOUTH!
UGH IT TASTES SO FUCKING AWFUL I THINK I’M GONNA -
Wait.
I can’t taste anything.
It took Catherine a moment to realize that, while her circumstance was revolting even so, she couldn’t actually taste the gore that had made its way into her mouth and nose.
Ugh, oh god. Don’t think about it Cat, everything will be okay.
But everything was not okay. And as the hours passed by and more voices, and wet, sickening thumps, were heard. Catherine was slowly buried deeper and deeper into the pile of corpses in the mass grave.
And then, finally, she got a notification.
Due to actions you have performed, new Class option(s) is/are available!
Oh my god!!! YES!

Wait. “Feed From the living or a corpse”? EWWWW!
Ugh, that’s probably what gave me all of these, I guess that explains it at least. That gunk got far enough to count as eating…
I hope that doesn’t mean all of my classes are undead…

What’s with all the undead?
(Undead)
Undead is a catchall for beings that have been partially or entirely brought back from the grave (or held from death) by magic, necromancy, ritual, etc. or for bodies of the dead inhabited by beings other than the original owner. Other than a small number of rare exceptions, undead are in a constant state of deterioration, as their bodies are truly dead, and will rot away to nothing given time. Many varieties therefore replenish themselves by consuming the living, or acquiring fresh bodies.. Undead are generally weak against Light, and Soul magic.
Okay, I think I’d prefer to avoid that if I can… ugh. It sounds… less than ideal.
Name:
Ghoul Spawn
Attributes:
Str, End (2), Con (2)
Notes:
The weakest form of ghoul. While often Undead, a ghoul is simply any warped creature that subsists primarily on rotting corpses, including those of what was once their own kind.

Returned
Permanently adds the (Revenant) modifier to your race
have died and be nonliving
have returned from death (or not have moved on)
perform one of the following actions as testament to your resurrection: walk, talk, stand, eat, drink, breathe, blink, or cast magic.
!!! THAT’S!!! Nope. same class, just some modifier. Cool.
Hmmm.
Honestly, Ghoul seems the best. This is difficult though. What does this actually do? Does it replace my class? Add a new one?
You have the following class evolution options:
Corpse (Revenant), Husherwitch
You have the following classes available as a primary or secondary Class:
Feral Undead Vampire Spawn, Ghoul Spawn, Ghoul Spawn (Undead), Cannibal
Selecting the secondary class Ghoul Spawn will make certain class evolutions (Corpse (Revenant)) and additional classes (Feral Undead Vampire Spawn, Ghoul Spawn (Undead), Cannibal) unavailable from this point.
Damn. That means I can’t get multiple if I choose the undead ones… except Husherwitch, but I’m not willing to be immobile forever.
The rest were mostly similar. Except:
Selecting the class evolution Corpse (Revenant) will replace your current class Corpse and will make certain class evolutions (Husherwitch) and additional classes (Feral Undead Vampire Spawn, Ghoul Spawn (Undead)) unavailable from this point.
So I can grab that and still be able to get the non-undead version of ghoul spawn, but then I’d be a “Revenant” isn’t that just a type of undead?
(Revenant)
A revenant is one who has returned from death or perhaps never left, by sheer force of will or otherwise.
Hmm. That actually seems fine. “Never left” fits me. Fuck it, I like that better than being a ghoul, even if not undead, so let’s try it first.
Your Class is now Corpse (Revenant)!
Your Race is now Human (Revenant)!
You have class option(s) available!
Well, it didn’t seem to do anything. I still can’t move. Guess I’m becoming a ghoul. Ugh. I hope I don’t regret this.
You have 1 secondary class slot open. Become a Ghoul Spawn?
Yes/No
Talk about a no brainer. Well, Here. We. GO!
You have gained the class Ghoul Spawn!

Blue Screen Blues
When Ryan Glasser, (an emo kid by heart) kills himself after having a good day at school turn horribly bad, he is forced to stand before his maker for final judgment of his soul. With Ryan Thinking life was just a game he could just end and throw away without any consequences, he is offered a deal to live his next life in a real-life RPG world full of swords, magic, misery, memes, and Mondays with nothing to help him along the way but a magical cellphone full of his music to get by in his afterlife. A real-life RPG you say? That sounds like perfect place to spend eternity! What’s the catch? Well first of all, this “Server” is in a nightmarish beta stage that has two trapped goddesses engaged in an everlasting brutal holy war between each other that has recently turned into a stalemate. Ryan is supposed to kill one of these goddesses somehow. (Technically there is a third goddess, but no one really cares about her) Secondly Ryan can’t die in this world without completing his mission here. If he does, straight to hell he goes. Thirdly, right from the start of spawning into this world, he has an annoying clingy emo/scene cat-dog rogue girl fall in love with him. This would be great in all If Ryan didn’t hate furries. Ryan will realize no matter how hard he tries he just can’t lose this clingy disaster. Forth: Living in an RPG world is great and exhilarating but when the class you choose to roll seems to be just as emo as you are, interesting things are going to happen. You better hold on tight; destiny holds in store for Ryan a Twisted Romance, tons of betrayal, a life full of dark twists and turns, and an adventure that will make or break him in this strange new world. Welcome to Lectioterra Adventurer! (Please DO NOT buff the Raid boss) (Please note i am quite aware that book one was written with quite a few thousand errors. I took a break from writing for ten years and had to relearn a lot of things. I learned quite a lot from writing 100+ chapters so far. I will go back and edit book one’s chapters after I get book two finished. If you all want to point out the errors in the earlier chapters I will gladly edit those things ASAP)

God knows what they're injecting her with but I'm glad they're not doing the same to me."Give her the next dosage. She can take it" the older one says and I look away as I see them plunge the needle again into her arm. She screams and an unfamiliar sound comes to my ears. My wolf awakens at the sound as well and I stand to look at her.She's shaking like crazy and gasping as if she could even breath in the first place. It can't be?
