I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl Chapter 5 – Leveling Up, Nearly Dying, and the Intelligent U

Day three.

I sat behind the shattered display of an eyeglass store, staring at my faint reflection in the cracked glass.

My right arm was still trembling from the earlier fight against a small horde of zombies. I counted... around twenty Rank 0 creatures? Not hard when you've got Claw Lv 5 and muscles like rebar. But still... this body, strong as it was, wasn't human. Stiff. Slow. Strange.

I wanted to rest. Not because I was tired. But... I just wanted to pause. Sit down. Be alone. Reflect on life—or death, in my case.

I stood up and started walking again, dragging my feet through the dark aisles of a supermarket, hoping to find that one last creature to push to Level 10.

And then—

ZRAAK!

Sothing burst out from behind a pile of collapsed shelves. Fast. Heavy. It slamd into and sent flying into a freezer wall.

Cracks spread across my body. Cold seeped in.

"Ugh... damn it..."

My eyes caught it. Over two ters tall. Muscles bloated beyond reason. Half its face torn off, but one eye glowing red.

A Rank 2 Zombie.

"Why do they always show up when I just wanna take a break?!"

I stood—slowly—and took my stance. It didn't wait. It lunged and punched straight at .

BOOM!

The punch obliterated the fridge behind . But I survived. Barely. My left claw blocked its arm, and my right claw slashed at its neck.

[Claw Lv 5 – Critical Hit]

Black blood sprayed, but it didn't stop. It only went wilder.

I dodged. Leapt behind a shelf. Grabbed a glass bottle and hurled it at its eye. Not to hurt it—but to buy ti to think.

This body was strong... but I wasn't a natural fighter. I was just... an ordinary person who happened to beco a zombie girl with an RPG system.

"Think, Sylvia! You were an office worker! No way you lose in a logic ga against a walking pile of at!"

I started moving to the other side. Lured it into a trap between fallen shelves, pinning it down for a few seconds. Then—

[Bite Lv 2 – Neck]

I bit its neck with all my strength. My fangs hit bone, then pierced through.

It thrashed. But it was enough.

With my final burst of power, I tore into its chest, stabbing deep with my claws. And finally—

[Zombie Rank 2 – Eliminated]

I collapsed onto the floor.

Not from exhaustion.

But because... I won.

Alone.

Against sothing that should've killed .

"I'm still... here."

With stumbling steps, I returned to my little hideout. A place where I could feel—even just a little—like myself.

And when the status screen appeared again...
