I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl-Chapter 59 – The Awakening of Morteluna

Roughly twelve hours had passed since Sylvia lost consciousness during her evolution process...

Ssshhhhhh...

The sky above the villa was now bright and clear. The sun hung high, bathing the ruins and open fields in its warm light. Yet, that light seemed to halt at the villa’s boundary. A thick, black aura still cloaked the decaying building, repelling daylight and casting a shadow as if from another world.

Upstairs, in the room where the evolution took place, silence reigned—dense and heavy. Residual death energy lingered in the air, swirling like thick fog. The once-radiant magic vortex around Sylvia’s body had faded entirely.

DING!

[EVOLUTION COMPLETE][WELCOME, MORTELUNA]

"Ugh..."

Sylvia groaned softly, opening her deep crimson eyes as a dim glow returned to them. Her vision blurred for a moment before focusing on the cracked ceiling above. Her body felt light—yet different. As if a new kind of energy now flowed freely within her.

She slowly sat up.

"Did I... evolve for about twelve full hours?"

Tchkk...

Suddenly, a small laugh echoed in her mind.

"Fufufu~ That’s right. And now, we can talk much more freely."

Sylvia froze, her spine straightening instinctively."W-Who?!"

"Hah? Did you forget me already? It’s me... Alicia."

Her eyes widened. "A-Alicia?!"

Before she could process anything else, another voice rang out—nearly identical, but sharp, rough, and dripping with sarcasm.

"Hmph... I’m still here too."

Sylvia’s body tensed."...Faker?!"

"WHAT?!"The voice exploded in fury."WHAT DO YOU MEAN, FAKER?! I’M YOUR TWIN! MY NAME IS—STACIA!!"

Sylvia froze."E-Eh...?"

"Fufufu~ Don’t be mad, Stacia. She didn’t know," Alicia said calmly, like a patient older sister.

Alicia continued gently, her voice soft as a midnight breeze. "The three of us... we are soul twins. Three beings in one body. I maintain your balance. Stacia—though harsh—pretended to be your ’dark side’ to keep you from losing yourself in chaos and death."

Sylvia fell silent for a moment, bowing her head slightly."...Thank you."

"Hmph." Stacia grunted but didn’t argue.

Alicia chuckled softly. "Now, look at your new status. You’ll like it." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Sylvia nodded and took a deep breath.

"Status."

But before the screen fully appeared—

DING!

[Element ’Fire’ is incompatible with race: Morteluna][Processing element update...][New Element Acquired: Nether Flame!]

"...Nether Flame?" she murmured in confusion.

Then the full status screen opened before her—a crimson projection shaped from black mist and blood-red light:

"Wooooaaah..." Sylvia gasped, her eyes sparkling. "So... it’s the Soul Resonance passive that lets you two talk to me now."

"Fufu~ See? You won’t be lonely anymore," Alicia replied gently.

Sylvia gave a small nod. A faint smile formed on her pale lips—a rare warmth that didn’t require a blush.

Curious again, she tapped on Nether Flame to read its full description.

[Nether Flame – Spell Rank 7] Flame Ball conjures black fire from the depths of the Nether. This flame bypasses physical barriers and ignites the target’s soul. Victims suffer spiritual torment before death.

"...Fire that burns the soul?" Sylvia’s eyes widened, then narrowed with a pleased glint. "Perfect for me."

She stared at her palm. A faint black mist curled around it, flickering like a phantom in the air. Her breath was calm... but filled with the thrill of new power.

But then her eyes drifted to the top of the screen—

"LEVEL 1 OUT OF 100?!"Her face darkened. "How long is it going to take to reach a hundred?!"

Alicia just giggled. "Fufu~ Don’t be upset. There’s always the portal. Why not dive back in and explore?"

Sylvia nodded slowly. "That’s true... and I do want to test my new powers."

Suddenly, she paused. "Wait... where’s that wyvern from earlier?"

One... two... three seconds passed—and then she realized something else. Her eyes widened again.

"I... I can talk?"

No growling. No distortion. Just a cold, elegant voice—her own.

To confirm, she said softly ,"I am Sylvia, the most beautiful girl."

And indeed, it came out clearly, silky, and with a touch of arrogance.

"Hmm~ Sylvia, really are the most beautiful," Alicia teased flirtatiously.

Sylvia averted her gaze slightly, embarrassed. Unfortunately, her pale complexion no longer allowed her cheeks to blush.

Still...

She smiled.

After confirming her body had stabilized, Sylvia rose from the bed. Her steps were light, yet carried a newfound presence that felt impossible to ignore. Her black dress swayed gently as she descended the stairs and pushed open the villa’s front door.

Creeeak—

As sunlight spilled in, what awaited her outside wasn’t serenity.

"...What is this?"

The once peaceful garden of her villa had turned into utter chaos. Piles of bloodstained armor, jagged weapons, and broken shields were stacked haphazardly like war trophies. Some were still dripping with dried blood. Others were stabbed directly into the earth as if it were a battlefield graveyard.

Sylvia’s expression darkened.

"...Them."

With a slight click of her tongue.

—Tyrant. All of you, come here. Now.

Within two minutes, ten monstrous figures appeared from various directions—some leaping from rooftops, others crawling down walls or casually walking forward as if nothing was wrong.

Tyrant was the last to arrive, lowering his head the moment he saw Sylvia’s unreadable expression.

"LADY QUEEN!!" one of the evolved Lickers shouted with a cheerful wave, blissfully unaware of their blunder.

"Did you..." Sylvia massaged her temples. "...turn MY GARDEN into a battlefield junkyard?!"

Silence.

The ten exchanged glances like guilty children caught scribbling on the walls.

Tyrant alone stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"We apologize, Lady Queen. We didn’t mean to ruin it... We were just... too proud of our loot."

Sylvia let out a long sigh, choosing restraint over wrath. She pointed to the vacant villa next door—the one she used as an improvised warehouse.

"Move everything there. Now."

"Yes, ma’am!!" they chorused in panic and immediately began transporting the heap like frantic ants.

Sylvia sat down on the old rattan chair on the front porch, legs crossed, back relaxed. From her pocket, she pulled out a pouch filled with crystals gathered from the orc village.

She began counting, calmly.

One, two, three...Ninety-seven, ninety-eight...One hundred and twenty red crystals. fifteen blue crystals.
