Chapter 1- Alive once again

It has been a weird night for me, why? Well, I am meant to be dead or so as I remember. I looked at myself again for the umpteenth time, all I see is a hand-mixed with flesh and skin held by hooks. I am wearing what seems to be a mix of a jumper and a radioactive suit? I still feel like me but not me? I don't know what's worse, me not being dead will I am meant to be dead, having this body or not breathing or even having a heartbeat. Yes, you heard me, unable to breathe and no heartbeat.

When I woke up I realised that I felt stronger but a bit empty. And I did not freak out which was weird for me so I tapped my body and found out that I have no heartbeat and I don't even breathe. My body felt like a dry and rough surface and by the look of my hands, I agree with myself. I don't know why I still had my senses but I do.

I woke up in what seems to be a wide underground grave but with screens here and there and broken test tubes all over the floor. The place looks old and it has either been a long time since it has been abandoned or this place is naturally dusty. I walked out of the place and saw a cemetery so I sat down on one of the gravestones to think about what was going on which lead me to then walk around.

And here we are now, I feel nothing now that I am alive? Dead? Undead, yap undead. Anyways I should find a way to die again, nothing good will come out of the idea of undead walking around.

I walked out of the cemetery and followed the road I saw by the cemetery gate. I kept on walking and walking and walking. I did not even get tired after walking for like an hour straight, I am not out of breathing though I cannot breathe in the first place. I did know some lore about undead but I cannot start applying them to myself but it seems I don't get tired easily so let's run.

I have been running for what felt like 2 hours and I am nowhere tired so I increased my speed more, all the way to the maximum. I saw as the world was passing, well I am not as fast as a train or a car, maybe a bicycle or something. It is not that fast but it way faster than a normal human's top running speed.

Soon I saw a town in the distance, the road is leading to it but it seems the sun is out without me knowing. I looked at myself and I am not burning or getting purified so it seems I am immune to the sun. I left the road to the woods, Why? Well, it might get busy so I am going to wait the day out.

I soon found a nice rock to sit on so I did. Okay, let's just find a way not to be bored in this situation. Time will pass by faster.

Or so I thought but I could still see the sun. I have been counting the leaves on the forest floor. I counted up to 300+ before I changed to trying to find out what I could do. I am stronger than normal people in all aspects, I don't need to consume anything to survive, I don't use stamina so I don't get tired or sleepy and so on. Just check your phones to see all the positives of being undead and I might have them all.

Weirdly I don't get bored, I have been lying down on the floor looking up until I saw it was dark. I stood up and walked back to the road. As I got there a car passed me, it is going to the town so I did not start running but I walked towards the town.

After what felt like 2 hours of walking I got into the town but I took a quick detour to the gas station, I want to ask the person there where this place is. The station is empty and some of the lights are blinking, the place is quiet and I could see the receptionist from here and he is a dude.

I walked into the store and made contact with the clerk and I saw him freeze. Why did he do that? I wanted to ask my question and then he screamed, fell and when I looked over the counter I saw him passed out.

I guessed why that happened but let's find out with the mirror near the counter. What I see is a true horror film, my face is burnt and I can see my teeth. My eye sockets are empty and I can see pieces of skin here and there. No wonder he passed out poor guy.

I left the store and walked to a random location, soon I found myself in a busy street so I made a beeline to the back alleys, I knew someone well screams and call the cops and maybe a priest or something. Sure I want to die but I don't want more people passing out on me.

As I walked deeper into the alley, I felt something come into my body? And then it happened again and again. I felt no pain, just a weird feeling of something coming in and out of my body. I looked over my shoulder and I saw a man holding a knife. So I was stabbed?

When he saw my face he dropped the knife and tried to run but he fell. So I ran towards him and grabbed him. I turned him over and opened my mouth to say the common sound for a good scare

"Boo"

My voice sounds normal but a bit deeper but the man passed out so I guess that's good. I dropped him on the ground and walked over to the knife. I picked it up and I saw small stains of blood or something on it. It would have been cool if I had something like a special power like those main characters in the novels I read.

I turned it over my hand and suddenly the knife kind of bent and turned to liquid which entered my body through my hand and then I gained or unlocked something in my head. It seems I do have ability.
