[Ding.....Initializing....]
[Awakening Host....Host awakened]
"Ugh, what kind of knockout was that? What about the countdown? And what about...." Malorn upon realizing that he's awake he sits up. "Woah," he states as he sat up quicker than he thought. "System can you show me my new status?" Quickly a small window pops up in front of him.
[Name: Malorn Shadowheart]

[skills: Undead Body(basic)]
His attributes went up a bit and his skills from before did indeed disappear. His skills were replaced a new skill called, Undead Body. Tapping on the skill he reads what the skill does.
[Undead Body| You have a body of the undead. You feel no pain, have no fear and need no sleep, food or water. You remain ageless. Your body heals quickly from wounds in places of death and decay. Extremely weak to light, fire, divinity. Cursed: can only move in areas of extreme death.]
"Eh? Cursed!?" Reading the description Malorn understood that was basically the normal basic zombie he thought except for two things. He was weak to divinity and he was cursed. As far he understood there are no gods and no such thing either. The curse in particular concerned him as it was a hard limitation that totally screwed him over.
"Why do I have a curse! How did I get cursed! System, Answer this now if you would."
[Host's body of the dead was being evolved during a small catastrophe that due to it's influence left a curse effecting the host's body permanently. By spreading a deep aura of death host can expand his movement area.]
Upon reading the response he understood but also hated how it's a permanent thing. After all how was he to expand the area if he couldn't leave it in the first place. After thinking of that, he wondered what small catastrophe he was evolving during. "How long was I evolving?"
[3 years]
"Holy fuck that's a long time!" After that Malorn left his room walking down the hall. While walking he noticed that there was no sound coming from outside except for an odd sound of the wind. Upon coming to his front door, he noticed it was in pieces on the floor and on the hinges. Looking outside, Malorn was shocked at what he saw.
The grass was dead, as were the trees and all kinds of metal like fences, lightpoles, and cars are extremely rusted and falling apart. But the most surprising thing was the skeletons and zombies shuffling around aimlessly everywhere. He saw them of people and animals.
"What happened to this area? Looks like it does back at the ancestral home, but why? Looks like a cleansing but who was the target or did a family member of mine here die?" Malorn, not realizing he was the cause pondered to himself. Then he thought of something... "These people were going to be my first experience points upon awakening! Easy kills with my new form but it's all gone!"
