I Became A Zombie Chapter 6-2

Chapter 6 – 2: Kijin’s True Power (Orc Guard’s Perspective)

~ Orc Guard’s Perspective ~

I was born as an [Orc Guard] in this dungeon. I don’t know how long it has been since I was born but that kind of thing didn’t matter.

From the beginning, I knew how to cooperate with the other orcs born with me, how to play my role, and how to kill intruders. No one has ever entered this room, but if someone enters this room, I can use any means or method to kill them.

Everyone here simply understood that it was “natural to do so” without anyone telling them to do so. If I couldn’t do that, I thought that I, as an individual, had no value. That was, until a few minutes ago……

That man suddenly appeared. He walked in with a faint smile, as if he came for a walk.

I stared at the man and waited for instructions to kill from the general.

I can assure you that I never took my eyes off him. Yet when the man whispered something, he instantly disappeared.

……I felt as though the wind had blown past me. Immediately after that, a thunderous roar echoed from behind. When I turned around, the general was stuck in the wall.

I had no idea what happened. While I was still confused, the man muttered again. Then the mage’s head exploded, and the swordsman who was supposed to be nearby disappeared. When I looked in the direction of the second thunderous roar again, the swordsman was also dead by the wall.

……What? What’s going on? Emotions I have never felt swirled within me before the incomprehensible situation. My hands tremble. My legs tremble. I couldn’t move. Still, I couldn’t take my eyes off that man.

The man spoke while walking towards me. For some reason, I could understand “all” of the man’s words.

『Come at me. I killed your comrades, you know? I’m going to eat these guys, you know?』

「Bumoo… (I’m gonna, be eaten…)」

『Hey? Don’t you feel frustrated? Don’t you have pride in being an orc? Come at me. You’re a man, right!』

「Gumo? Gubumoo…(Frustrated? I…)」

『…Haa, it doesn’t matter… I’ve cooled down. Tremble and run for the rest of your life, pig bastard.』

「Fugo, guu… (pig, bastard…)」

When I was talking to this man, I finally understood what this “feeling” was. Fear? Dread? No, it’s not that! This was admiration, respect, affection, and worship. In other words, it’s admiration and respect for the absolute strong! I even felt envious of my comrades who were killed! I understand it now. I want this man, this “being”, to “eat me.” I want my existence to be nourishment for this person!

But… that person was gone. I can’t allow such an inexperienced and small existence such as myself to become sustenance for that person. I have to burn his appearance, his voice, his precious face, and his scent into my brain!

……That’s it. I must get out of the dungeon and become stronger. Learn the outside world and become smarter. And someday, be eaten by that person!

And hopefully, convey this one thing to him.

「I am… a female pig.」
