The world, as we knew it, will not return…Fools are those who seek to go back…Because a new law, the lord of the zombies, shall reign. After nearly a year of surviving an apocalypse under the protective mantle of a small but close-knit group of survivors, a daring and battle-hardened young man, known by a nickname he detests and which shall go unmentioned, embarks on a long, solitary journey toward one of the most famous "nations" still standing. With the goal of fulfilling an old promise or reclaiming his forgotten identity—whichever comes first—he must climb the ranks of a vast new community that seeks the same as he does: to survive the looming dangers in a world plagued by merciless, bloodthirsty creatures… and zombies, too. But how could he accomplish this if the zombies refuse to die from a shot to the head? How could he do it when a sadistic group hunts him down relentlessly? How could he endure, knowing that the very planet itself is rotting and dying day by day? But, above all that… How could he survive if he has already died?
