Nothingness. What is it to completely grasp the concept of nothingness? Nothingness came from Empty, Absence and Void. So being that, Nothingness is being the state of death. For within Life is Abundance, Presence and Flesh. In all these aspects, it is simply being nothing is also being devoid of life. A husk, an empty shell.

And here we start our story.

The story of a man who against all odds, rose from being Nothing.

Chapter 1

He wasn't born to be great. He was just a blip in the radar. A man who all will forget after a day or two. He was just the man who wants to live. But it seems like Fate has grand things waiting for him. None of it was kind or gracious. It was hell. Never let it be known that Fate cares. For just as it is in the cosmos, this man is just but a speck of dust beneath it. So in its everlasting arrogance, it dismissed the man's presence and moved towards to more shining prospects.

What It did not know is that It created something.

A being far more dangerous the Universe will ever know.

*Present day: Year 2017, January 3*

Here I am. Walking down the starry night. Yesterday was a disaster. I flopped on my work. I have committed the greatest sin as a nurse. I have harmed my patient. But wait that was unintentional. Still my fault though.

I heaved a great sigh. It was even my birthday and I was so happy the day before. Now it had become a depressing affair.

That day I was so busy in my rounds. Lots of patient needing my attention. But then it happened. I gave my patient an expired medication. Immediate after drinking it, my patient came to a coughing fit. I called our resident doctors immediately. They assessed the patient and determined the cause. Thank all that is Holy that it was just due to the water that was drank. That was the only reason I wasn't jailed. The cold water had triggered the coughing fit. Still I confessed my sin. The doctor then reprimanded me and had me submit an incident report regarding the incident.

It was humiliating even more as the one who called out to my sin was the relatives themselves. They saw the blister pack of the medicine that it was expired. Right then and there I wanted to die. It was so embarrassing that I as a medical practitioner have flopped like I did. A person like me making a mistake? I curse that day. Such a disgrace to my ever pristine performance.

I resigned there and then. I showed up to my superiors and I requested to resign effective immediately. I couldn't bear the shame. The relatives even spread it to the social media. They named me and called me many degrading names. The comments there after crushed me. It was even on news. They called me incompetent, low-life scum, fraud, stupid, useless, a mistake. By the time I made it home, I was peppered by insults. I am not really that hurt by the words as I grew up in a quite harsh home, but still it kinda bothered me as I wanted to call out to all of them as hypocrites. Failure will always be part of life and as a semi-perfectionist, even I accept that.

Being always connected to social media, the place I grew up in immediately knew what happened. It was only them that comforted me. They even went out of their way and visited me to check if I was okay. My heart soared for the people I grew up with. They are such nice people.

My family is an exception. They never brought it up. We never talked about it. They went on with their lives not acknowledging what happened. After all, why bother with someone you don't care about. Since the day my consciousness became capable of understanding, I knew that I was alone. Though I thanked my mother in my heart so many times that she didn't simply discard me to the streets like other unwanted children. You see, Mother has always been a person driven by her obligation. Even if she hated some of her siblings with a passion, she provided for them. She gave them food, clothing and education. She believed that once she did her obligations then good fortune shall come. So even if really don't like her youngest child, she will give him everything he needs till the day he can provide for himself.

And here look at me, walking down the night sky thinking of my past. I should be thinking of something else. Like how the hell do I live now. Since I have work, I lived on the hospital in secret. Being friendly with all the staff can make that happen so I have free lodging. For food, I just buy cheap food that can be filling. Just a few coins can make a stomach full.

Just I was storming up ideas on how am I supposed to survive in the normal way, I heard a gunshot in the horizon. That came from the neighborhood I lived in with the family!

I ran towards the noise. Now that I am nearing the place I can hear frantic screams. Just what the hell is happening?!

As I rounded on the corner, I stood there terrified of what I am seeing across the street.

Monsters. Monsters in human flesh are trying to kill my neighbors. They walked slowly and their bodies twisted in different directions. Their bodies soaked in their blood and of their victims. I can see them marching like they are walking in the moon. Slow but you can't help feel terrified as whatever stand in their way are devoured.

In my mind I am screaming and retching as I see these foul beasts. But now I knew. Yes, this is it.

This is the beginning of the end.

The start of the Zombie Apocalypse.

AN:

So here it is. This is my first officially released fic. I have been writing for the longest time but I was kinda scared you know? This is a first that I will have my writing criticized. It was due to my fears that I haven't been able to post my stories in Fanfiction even though I have been a member for quite some time. With all the renowned authors out there, it was so hard to compete. So I would kindly like your input in this. I am quite eager to hear your thoughts.

But so just you know this is a fanfic. But unlike any other. This is a fanfic but at the same time it is not. Why? Well actually the first chapter I have planned to be short. Somewhat in the 900 level. Because this a prologue to a greater series. What I have actually planned is an honest to goodness original story. Everything here is OC but how can I make this a fanfic? Well I added the elements of the anime or books that I will attach this story too. For example, this current fanfic is a zombie inspired fic. So the tags will be then, zombies right? So I can just choose any of the Categories that will fit to my choosing. But even though its original, the concept that I will incorporate to it is as the tag will say.
