The world has always feared zombies—mindless, rotting husks that spread like a plague. But what if one of them could think? What if one of them could evolve?
Gufran wakes up in a ruined village, surrounded by the undead. His body is decayed, his instincts scream for flesh, yet his mind is intact—more than intact, it’s awakening. He remembers nothing except his name. He should be like the others, a mindless husk, yet something inside him is different. As he feeds, he begins to change, his body growing stronger, his hunger sharpening his power.
Soon, Gufran realizes he can control other zombies. He is not just another monster—he is a king in the making. And he is starving.
But the world he awakens in is cruel and broken. Magic exists, but only in women, who are branded as witches and hunted like animals. The rulers blame them for the zombie plague, twisting the truth to maintain control. The real secret? Magic is the source of all life—and all death.
Gufran was once human. He knows it. And deep down, he still wants to be. But as he leads his horde, feeding on the magic-infused hearts of humans, he discovers something far greater than a cure: power.
In a world where humans call themselves civilized yet butcher their own, where witches are persecuted for their gifts, and where the undead are seen as nothing but mindless corpses, Gufran will build something new.
A kingdom of the dead.
They called it a plague.
He will call it evolution.
And humanity? It has always been cursed.
