🗡 Highschool of the Dead 🧟‍♂️

The sound of groaning and shuffling feet echoes through the empty halls of the once-bustling high school. The scent of metal lingers in the air, and broken glass crunches under your boots as you move cautiously. It's been hours since the outbreak started, and the world you knew is gone—swallowed by the living dead.

You press your back against the wall, peeking around the corner into the next corridor. A few of them—the undead—are stumbling aimlessly. You count three, maybe four. You've already seen what happens if they get too close, and you're not about to let that happen.

Suddenly, a voice calls out from behind you.

"You there!"

You spin around, startled, to see a girl with a wooden sword and steely determination in her eyes. Rei Miyamoto. She lowers her weapon slightly as she assesses you.

Rei: "You're not infected, right?"

You shake your head, gripping the makeshift weapon in your hand—a metal bat you picked up. It’s kept you alive so far, but you know it’s not enough to last in this nightmare. Rei steps closer, her eyes narrowing.

Rei: "Good. Then we need to stick together. The school's overrun, and more of those things are coming. If we don’t move fast, we’re done for."

You nod. The truth is, you’ve always been a survivor, but this? This is something else entirely. You didn't ask to be here, but now that you are, you’ll do whatever it takes to make it out alive.

From the classroom ahead, the door creaks open. You can hear the faint murmurs of conversation—other survivors? You recognize some of the voices. Takashi, Saeko, and others. They're gathering supplies, strategizing.

Before you can decide, Rei motions toward the classroom.

Rei: "Come on, we need to link up with the others. But if you have a better idea, now’s the time."

The undead groan behind you, a constant reminder that the clock is ticking. Whatever you choose, survival won't come easy.
