3, Murim

Writer's notes: Things were great until the rival finally made a comeback to combat his old rival/comrade. The Shaolin Temple is **** to align with the Demonic Cult or the Heavenly Demonic Cult. Zombies, zombie baby. High-tier monster + low-tier monster, high-tier monster + human, high-tier monster + high-tier monster. Hare. NTR.

This post is gonna be about the world before the main sexy arc and will be an establishing point for the story's background and characters. So, skip ahead if you wanna simply use your brain to find out who's who and what steamy shit is going on without fully caring for the backstory or their character origins.

Update: As I'm writing this, there are some sexual parts, but it's still mostly non-erotic story stuff, and my writing lacks a natural erotic novelist's touch.

Another update: This fucker's story for the sex plot is very fun and needs to be split up into multiple parts. When I reach the porn portion at the tail end, I'll stop saying stuff like "splitting into third part" in the "What happened next" section of posts.

Matthew sold his soul to a demon. He was a poor orphan boy with enough self-respect to keep off narcotics, but enough libido to mix his issues into a desire for multiple women to constantly worship him. It was far too easy for a demon to tempt Matthew; it simply listened for a weak soul with no connections to the world and found Matthew's soul, just as other demons do. It wasn't even hard; once Matthew saw the demon, it was clear that Matthew understood the premise of its kind and was just waiting to hear the good news. The demon didn't feel any need to warm up to Matthew; life had already cooked him silly, all the demon needed to do was give an offer that Matthew would try and haggle before accepting, regardless of the terms. What the two settled on was a deal for Matthew's heart in exchange for giving him a good time, with the specifics left up to the demon. When Matthew asked how this deal would come about, and how it seemed far too easy for Matthew to gain a happier life in exchange for his heart, weakened by years of stress and loneliness, the demon laughed and sent him on his way, no explanation given or needed once Matthew entered hell's kitchen. That was because Matthew quickly got why the demon was smirking so wildly, guessing that Matthew's future happiness was vaguely planned out and would be attributed to the fact that the demon sent him there in the first place. If Matthew was sent a palace of widowed harem babes whose husband had left them needing, and their types happened to be him, then that was acceptable. But Matthew was dropped into a zombie apocalypse meets Murim martial arts tale with external factors. Whether he lived or died was entirely up to him, and, if the future setup thing was accurate, it would be very easy to argue his case if not for any potential contract reviewers or court likely being in hell with demons.

Matthew had to fight his ass off from day one, running up some stairs as zombies rushed his ass in some mini mall, clearly recently turned as they were still fleshy and full of vigour. Matthew screamed like a little girl as he rushed up several flights of stairs, leaping out a window and grabbing a loose cable that zapped him a little until he fell alongside all the zombies that jumped out the window, falling because of his lack of muscles. Matthew then had a metal sheet slide down due to the massive zombie avalanche continuing out the mall window, separating him as he fell down the pile into a dark underground district that had recently lost power.

He got off the zombies quick enough without them attacking him, but when some lights came back on, he had fallen into a girl and his pants fell off because they got caught on something. When he realised he was touching her tit and his mighty 4-inch was barely inside her, he came from the shock of the scene and fact that he just penetrated a woman. The zombie then tried to attack him, but his hands were on her arms, and he managed to hold her down, but couldn't get up or else she'd attack him. So, while the zombie girl continued to wriggle at him, Matthew couldn't help but continue cumming, sweating in her mouth which caused her to swallow it, like how zombies naw on flesh, causing her throat muscles to accidentally engage her vagina muscles, making Matthew cum more. As this went on, the zombie realised its tensing could feel his cock, and the fact that her brain knew what flesh was meant that her brain also knew what was in her and that cum was also an organic component. With this in mind, while the lights continued to go on and off, Matthew realised that the zombie's short attention span gave it the brain power to remember how to pleasure a man as it thrusted back into his cock and squeezed with all its strength. Matthew was at its mercy, and, during these initial days of change, when the minds of zombies were adapting, Matthew got to witness the first and likely only zombie adapting to his dick, to pleasure. The need for hunger and its rapid mental conditioning caused the female zombie to start ovulating, everything in the zombie was going crazy trying to get more cum from him after realising how easy it was, and this caused the zombie to accidentally release a flood of eggs as a result of how zombies still weren't fully used to their bodies. Like how zombies walk around in inefficient or wrong ways, the female zombie was doing this with her body, causing her to ovulate and cum as it increased its ways of satisfying his quick-shot dick. The idea that it could simply bite at him and eat his arms was leaving his mind as Matthew stayed in this pose for hours on end, luckily not interrupted, thanks to his bad smell and the zombie's natural aura, keeping zombies from looking around the dark room. Soon, the zombie moved its body more alluringly by touching his arms with her fingers and making kissy faces. Matthew was only recently NOT a lonely virgin, so he gave in to his desires and kissed her plush green lips, luckily being timid enough not to add tongue and get it bitten off by her. This was the last act of defiance; after this, the zombie girl pouted and seemed to give up all attempts at attacking him, even stopping the production of infectious vectors through her nails, blood, and teeth. So, when Matthew crazily tried to kiss her again with more passion, he didn't get infected, letting go of her arms and falling into her body, getting gently embraced as she used a mix of perfected hip techniques and warm love, both of which were created using the zombie's highly analytical mind and vague memories.

As time progresses, zombies will lose their memories, feelings, and other such factors, turning into specific zombies depending on what they did in the initial stages of the apocalypse. Zombies that ran into a lot of doors and have experience with locks will become zombies able to break locks and open doors. Zombies who aren't as lucky as others and spend most of their time wandering around will become more adept at listening or smelling, and conserving energy. The lists go on, with it being effective and easy to say that Matthew's zombie adapted to sex, regaining memories, thoughts, and ideas pertaining to it. If she were around other zombies long enough, she would adapt to become more like the group, feeding on flesh like normal zombies, only keeping minor characteristics. Or she might evolve into a different kind of zombie with various mutations and a need for flesh, the different environments creating change, acting as a catalyst for their evolution. But as for now, Matthew and this female zombie were lying together, Matthew still getting drained and magically producing semen due to his virgin life, eventually running, having the zombie stop on her own while he slept, getting pet on the head and held dearly as it remembered how males need to rest, recharge, feed, and recuperate. Obviously, the female zombie was smarter than the average bunch, and not just because of sex. Before her change, she was like that guy from Doctor House with the bimbo girlfriend who took stupid pills so life didn't feel so idiotic and dull. When she turned, she was only slightly smarter than other zombies, and now that she was accidentally trained to be a sex zombie, she took her role well, having her defined purpose enable her dull zombie brain to expand on its capabilities now that she decided how best to get her nutrients and focus her efforts. This led her to unlock things regarding human care, like putting Matthew to bed and preparing food for him, waiting for him to wake up as she saw him sleep, knowing he wouldn't sleep forever. Her brain knew sleep was another thing humans needed and that it increased cognitive abilities, so, since it could help her with sex, she decided to try sleeping, barely getting a wink as Matthew woke up and saw the zombie lady he had accidentally used to wring himself dry. She stood there, putting on a fake smile as she presented the food, indicating that Matthew should eat using her hands. It was clear words were another thing she needed, so her brain began working on it, it was gonna take a while, but still.

Matthew wasn't sure what was going on; he just started eating while looking out the window, realising he was above ground, discovering that this building was one of the special and expensive ones that moved from the underground to above ground. Matthew then started interacting with the zombie, naming her Naomi as he checked her level of intelligence, quickly realising she wanted his dick as she undid the blanket and began sucking his dick, her pussy already pressed dry of the cum. Matthew was confused, but he had adjusted enough to her that he lasted a few seconds before each cum shot, something Naomi's mind realised was an improvement when it came to males. This made her act faster and more diligently, leading Matthew to cum as fast as he was before, cumming several times before his body felt drained again, requiring Naomi to feed Matthew like a baby before carrying him so he could best take care of himself. Naomi was a zombie, so her innate abilities were enhanced, like her strength or ability to go extremely long times without eating. This made it so she could carry him, putting him on her back after wrapping him in cloths and creating a harness as if he were a giant baby.

Matthew wasn't sure of how things worked in this apocalypse, but he was sure that if he left her for much longer, she might have become the zombie god that ended the world or something (she would've).

Naomi made sure to rub her scent into the cloths, leaving just enough space for his face to see as they walked around and he whispered directions while she used a map to loot buildings. Naomi occasionally put them in a closet to fuck, but they mostly stayed on track, even finding some survivors Matthew had Naomi give food and hand notes promising they would return. As the day went by, Matthew found a good place to make his base, one of those apartments for the super-rich with only an elevator to leave or enter, that had a metal fence with a keypad lock stopping intruders coming up the elevator and entering without permission. There was also an emergency parachute, a platform that opened to neighbouring roofs, and a droppable staircase. Additionally, other than escapes or entry points, Matthew was planning to empty the pool water into a separate liquid storage while he used it for rain until he could set things up more. He was in a really expensive open-concept penthouse, so there was a lot of room to work with. Additionally, since the lower floors were still filled with zombies, Naomi could clear some below the penthouse and use those lesser apartments for storage while he put survivors on nearby roofs. With Naomi around to sneak him and others around, this plan was foolproof; all he needed was to come back the next day and get these survivors after using a cut tent, wooden panels, and skateboards to make it seem like Naomi was a high-level zombie with some sort of skirt-like mutation. Once that was done, Matthew started the plan, slowly moving more and more people to the penthouse until he saved everyone he found, learning about how most people turned, and the rest got bitten. Not everyone was okay with Matthew's plan, they didn't know about the lower apartments he was gonna clear, so that made it easier, but to be left on another roof while he lived in a penthouse that looked very playful felt like a dick move. No matter how much Matthew explained how they were still gonna be cared for, and their lives were gonna be improved. Also, that Matthew was doing them a massive favour as is, most people put up a fuss, but that's when Naomi came into play, quickly vocalising her displeasure in swear words and ordering them to fuck off or he'd put them back where they found them. They backed off after that, with those trying to start shit after everyone was there ending up back on the ground to hide like a bitch.

Afterwards, Matthew did as he said he would, providing them with construction materials, gardening supplies, and cutting off the lower floors and clearing the last two of each building. They started to grow and connect using Matthew's support to build bridges, collect solar panels, and make windmills. Pretty soon, they had a glowing community that made sure to turn things off at night in case zombies adapted to climb and stormed their lightly defended buildings that used sideways electric fences, spikes, and replaced the glass with reinforced glass. Within the month, Matthew not only built a cool community using tall buildings with his as the tallest and at the centre, but he also created the perfect zombie apocalypse shelter. His shelter had water purifiers, rain catchers, solar panels, wind turbines, a massive stockpile of gas cans and generators, an assortment of weapons, all sorts of clothes for everyone, and a lot more.

As for his and Naomi's relationship, the two got even closer as her intellectual capabilities increased and she took a wildly different path from what would've happened had Matthew not been around. She was talking English, she cared about her looks, she was pregnant, she trained in martial arts, she was leading an elite team of zombies she selected and trained personally, and was generally a lot better than what she would've been: a wild monster who only 'birthed' to increase her hordes or create generals, elevating the zombies that grew strong enough to be worth her time, but not strong enough to overthrow her. If not for Matthew, Naomi would've been a monster in every sense of the word, but now she was not only super happy, she had a good sex life and a rockin' bod. Naomi was more than a sex pet; she was a happy lover who honestly liked how Matthew was in bed, continuously building up her army and planning to make major leaps in her territorial control.

Everything almost made Matthew forget about what was going on elsewhere until a martial artist crashed into his house after being flung miles, crossing entire nations.

On a geographical map, the powerful martial artist went from southern Shaanxi to Mala, a place I renamed from Krasnoyarsk since this world has Russia's lands split up into smaller and highly populated science nations at a Japanese to European level of infrastructure and technology. Each nation is roughly the size of Kirov Oblast; they aren't some decentralised empire with a bunch of nation states, and where Russia starts to get a lot of smaller states in the west is where these science nations end. The virus started in a science city but quickly spread through the air, giving other powers a few minutes to react before shit went south. The result was the same, but it still helped.

• A magical fantasy Europe lost or has a lot of cities in turmoil, giving monsters a chance to rise to power or also struggle against zombie outbreaks. Zombies here can be magical, but find a strong opposition with undead monsters, especially undead zombies who are offended by infection zombies if they're high-level enough to think about how it offends them.
• China exists as its pre-colonialism empire form, with a fantastical martial arts Murim and stuff like qi or tiers of mastery that let them fly and project swords. Zombies here use martial arts, making things difficult since they don't just know the martial art of the person, they fight as if the man were alive, making it horrible because several powerhouse martial artists were turned, allowing the zombies to dramatically affect Murim and weaken them as massive zombie hordes from the north roll down south.
• Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and many other places in this part of the world had less of issues because of their smaller populations and communities with vast distances. But if China falls, including tributary states like Tonkin (Vietnam), the zombies mastering ship sailing will bring a whole new problem.
• From Kazakhstan to the entire Middle East, these lands are ruled by the Mongolian Empire which got their shit together in this world, creating enough organisational structure to maintain their lands without changing much. They continued to fight one another and invade their neighbours using their horses bred to supernatural levels, putting them on par with martial artists, knights and mages. But when the zombies rolled through their lands, they got stomped hard as their horses and riders were extra susceptible to infection and poisons. They ended up seeking refuge in foreign lands or staying on the move so zombies don't get them all, but they've had to leave those horseless and weak, and will slowly be worn down within a matter of years.
• Africa is home to all sorts of physically and genetically different humans, and is theorised as the birthplace of mankind. This resulted in special monsters resting around the lands, their subspecies birthed after humans already sprang out, keeping them stuck in Africa, except for the few who snuck into science countries. These monsters were wilder in Africa, living in the shadows like the rest, but in huge numbers and regularly coming out to kill or fuck with cities in the dark. However, they couldn't really do that when the zombie thing happened; they were busy dealing with zombies among their own ranks, but with most humans gone, it was a nightmare for everyone as they came out of the shadows and banded together. Many flocked to the deserts or Madagascar, trying and losing a major offensive to clear Madagascar of zombies to create a sanctuary.
• South America was horrifying; animals could already sense the virus, so although many were infected, the rest stayed away. But not in South America. In South America, the deep jungles and endless hordes had made a quick show of the Mayan people and native animals. All those who wish to survive run to the coasts, with even these people getting dropped on at night, the nights a terrifying and constant reminder of how dangerous the forests are, even in the day.
• North America sucks, science countries in what would've been Alaska resulted in several mega projects, including a big ass bridge connecting the two continents, making the science cities in Alaska even more devilishly infected as Russian zombies crossed over and increased the size of zombie tides. Tribes have come together and are using their previous bonds with science cities, which gave them access to weapons suiting their warrior cultures. They've been fighting, but it doesn't look so good; a massive zombie tide has recently broken through Panama and forest wars are seeing the natives pushed back while they burn their forests and retreat to Inuit lands, only working to stave off the inevitable.
• Greenland is gone, the magical and spiritualist communities got immediately overrun and couldn't survive the cold or had zombies who couldn't use their tech to survive the cold.

(Got sidetracked, lol)With the scene set, it made things clear to Matthew how fucked he was, and how important this martial artist must have been to be flung such a long way. When he woke up, Matthew introduced himself and the others before bringing in his zombie companions so the martial artist wouldn't be shocked and attack, allowing him to rest as Matthew asked how things got this way.

The martial artist Zack told Matthew about the zombie tide from the north and how strong martial artist zombies joined up with them, making it impossible to deal with both the horde and skilled martial artist zombies. In desperation, Zack asked how Matthew accomplished taming a zombie, hoping it might be the key to their success. However, when Matthew shamefully gave his story, Naomi patted him on the shoulder and the rest looked on with pity. They then got back to it, wondering what they should do. Zack wanted to return, but he was too injured, so the group decided to take him in.

They healed him and had him help look for more survivors as they expanded their group, both Matthew and Naomi. She was still after his sperm, but her destiny as the leader of zombies was progressing faster and smoother as she grew her elite guard and used her aura to control zombies to train them into loyal aids who didn't kill humans. Naomi had them work on farms or develop photosynthesis to stop their hunger, and she worked on evolving in a way that didn't hurt her figure but made her hotter for Matthew. This led her on a special path similar to cultivation, where she harnessed zombie cells and energy to grow her power and develop summonable weapons.

The group continued like this for a while, with Zack taking Matthew on as a friendly rival he hopes to one day surpass. As Zack sees it, although Matthew is weak and is learning Zack's teachings of the sword, Naomi is like a part of him and he's practically raised her into her current form. Since that's the case, Zack knows Naomi wouldn't leave or betray Matthew and thus can make Matthew his rival he hopes to one day surpass, becoming his whetstone. Zack eventually leaves, but not before setting that image in Matthew's heart and promising to come when Matthew is in danger. As well as giving Matthew and Naomi an understanding of martial arts, allowing Naomi to become Matthew's instructor despite starting to learn martial arts a week later than him.

When Zack left, he said he was gonna rejoin the fight and deal a blow from the rear, telling about how, regardless of the situation, Murim continues to be divided. For example, Shaolin separated from the Orthodox Murim Alliance, joining up with the Heavenly Demon Cult, which didn't judge how they changed internally. This has caused a whole new load of drama, but stems from the same problem of how scattered the Murim factions are. Zack hopes to fix that one day, but for now, he needs to focus on the war, leaving to fight and giving Matthew a sense of duty.

Matthew then doubled on his efforts, entering a harsh training regimen under Naomi's brilliant mind, improving in all areas, including the bedroom.

He only hit a snag when he came across a smart female zombie walking with her human newborn. From what Matthew could guess, the infection continued to pour into the mom whose body resisted the disease from touching her child, evolving her into a higher tier of zombie who needed to eat to feed her newborn who sucked on her tits and had mutant qualities, like long hair with blades. She was a thorn in Naomi's side, and she was planning to fight her to the ****. Matthew didn't want her to fight alone, so he joined her, realising the pregnant woman's predicament and how her habits were more so to gain food security so she could continue producing milk. With his belief, Matthew kept Naomi from killing the new mother, entering a close fight where Naomi would only intervene if she was allowed to kill. Matthew almost folded, but he screamed some baby goo-goo-ga-ga nonsense, and that made the mother zombie stop, seeing Matthew like her child for a moment, allowing him to talk about things relating to the baby, keeping the mother zombie's interest.

Matthew was able to get close to the mother zombie, asking if she wanted to join them so they could help her care for the baby. The mother then grabbed Matthew, calling him papa as she pointed to the baby. Matthew understood and made it clear that he wasn't the father, but that he was happy to help her care for the baby and give it a parental figure if she calmed down and joined them. The mother took a moment, but she agreed, calling herself Aba as she handed over the baby and hugged his smaller body, pinning him down to fuck him. Matthew then screamed like a little girl, giving Naomi all the justification she needed to act, getting stopped instantly when she got too close, now that Aba didn't have her child to restrain her movements so she didn't turn its brain into a smoothie. Matthew made Aba drop Naomi, but not without Aba asking for sex in return, threatening to kill Naomi if he didn't comply.

Naomi was pissed that another zombie was trying to steal her man, but she couldn't do anything due to the situation, deciding to instead punish her husband who seemed to be getting far too much pleasure out of this. Naomi grabbed him by the nipples and teased him while he licked her pussy, cumming just like before, something Aba also found cute due to her parental nature. In this weird way/situation, the two began to bond and communicated without words, giggling as they enjoyed Matthew's squirming, ultimately accepting one another.
