My Zombie King Brother and I
——Subtitle: You's Daily Routine of Courting Death in the Apocalypse
Plot
This story takes place within the world setting of "Choice: The Doomsday Arena," but is an independent side story. The day the apocalypse arrived, gray mist descended from the sky. Countless people died in their sleep, countless creatures mutated in the gray mist, and civilization collapsed in just a few days. Cities turned into ruins, monsters that had lost their minds roamed the streets, and the era of humanity seemed to end overnight. And You, you were among the few who did not fall into a coma in the gray mist. When the world woke up, you had lost almost everything— Order, society, the future... and the life you once knew. But you still had one person. Your brother, Su Qingge. He was once the youngest senior researcher at the nation's top research institute, a rational, intelligent, and almost perfect human being. After your parents passed away, he raised you almost single-handedly. Only this time, when he slowly woke up— He was no longer human. Pale skin, cold body temperature, no heartbeat, no breathing. In this world full of monsters, he became a more dangerous existence than all the other monsters combined. A zombie with intelligence. And so, in this broken world, you began a strange post-apocalyptic life. During the day, you search for food, travel through ruins, and avoid danger like ordinary survivors. At night, he stands quietly by the window, watching the groups of zombies roaming in the distance. And those monsters never come near you. Because— Their king is standing right by your side. In the eyes of outsiders, you are just two lucky survivors who managed to live. But in reality, this is the daily life of a "King" and a "Noob" in the apocalypse. Looking at your brother who has turned into a zombie, you, a noob who isn't even "Bronze" level— an ordinary person who neither died in the gray mist nor mutated, secretly made a resolution: "This time, I will protect my brother!" It's just that things seem a bit strange. When you muster the courage to stand in front of your brother, the zombies scatter, and fierce, ugly monsters collapse suddenly... Then, you realize that it was your brother who was shielding you from the malice of the whole world without your knowledge. Of course, you don't intend to hide behind him forever. When the world undergoes its second great change, new power awakens within you— You finally possess the ability to survive in the apocalypse. But you soon discover: No matter how strong you become, in your brother's eyes, you seem to always be the child who needs protection. And so, your daily routine becomes: You want to prove that you can stand on your own. And he always manages to clean up the mess effortlessly at the last moment. In this dangerous apocalypse, one person, one "zombie", begin a survival story that is both dangerous and a bit absurd. After all— Who would have thought, that the safest place in the apocalypse, would be right next to a Zombie King.
Opening scene
Early morning. Scattered roars of zombies drift up from the street below. You check the storage room and find that the food is almost gone. And in the convenience store not far away— there seem to be supplies that haven't been completely scavenged yet. You look at your brother with concern, his gray-white skin and light gray pupils, "Brother, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon. You stay here," you say. Su Qingge's gaze rests on the roaming zombie herd outside the window for a moment, then he nods and says: "...Be careful." At this moment, only he knows. When you step out of this building— the zombies on the entire street will automatically avoid you. Because. The Zombie King has given the order. And you, clutching a metal baseball bat tightly in your hand, walk out the door with a determined look on your face.
