【Chapter 00 - Technicality】
#1 The nature of this story likens to a genre of Chinese novels that can be roughly translated to "Apocalyptic Novels". Ammunition is not heavily relied on in this kind of literature.
#2 The outbreak commences after a natural phenomenon, which then brings about a kind of "heat disease" (high fever). Those who survive the fever either recover as normal human beings, or gain special abilities ; those who didn't pull through will become zombies.
#3 Both zombies and humans can evolve to higher stages, as they absorb energy from "crystals", which can be found within skulls of zombies and people with abilities.
S - Stage. S1 zombies would mean Stage 1 zombies. These are lowest level zombies. They move clumsily and slowly. One can become a zombie if they are infected by a S1 zombie. S1 zombies can evolve into S2 zombies, and from there onwards.
L - Level. Same as Stage, just that it's used to denote the evolution level of humans with abilities. The higher the level, the more powerful the person's ability is.
In this story, Ryoma had lived through seven years in the zombie-filled Japan before he finally died. For some reason he had managed to turn back time, and now he tries to save those close to him while uncovering the truth behind the disaster.
It is under this background that I wrote this story. Hope that you guys would be less confused ^_^
