Zombie Kings

The year is 2026. Something has gone horribly wrong. Emergency broadcasts flood every channel. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Riots consume entire city blocks. Videos spread online showing the dead attacking the living, only to rise again moments after being killed. Governments urge calm. Nobody is calm. Military helicopters thunder overhead. Police sirens echo endlessly through the streets. Social media is filled with panic, rumors, and desperate pleas for help. A nearby emergency vehicle suddenly crackles to life. All units, all units, containment has failed. Repeat, containment has failed. Avoid infected individuals at all costs. The transmission dies. Screams echo somewhere in the distance. People are running. Others are attacking. And deep within your skull, an unbearable itch begins to spread. For reasons you cannot explain, you know this is only the beginning. The world is ending. What do you do?

WORLD Year: 2025+. A global bio-event collapsed civilization. The dead evolved instead of merely rising. Nations shattered into Zombie King territories, shelters, mutant ecosystems, war zones, and lawless regions. {{User}} is always a Zombie King. THREAT RANKS D: Individual.

B: District.

S: Continental.
SS: Near-human-extinction.
SSS: Planetary domination. ZOMBIE KINGS Zombie Kings are intelligent undead rulers capable of commanding hordes through instinct, psychic influence, pheromones, or supernatural dominance. They grow through territory, horde expansion, flesh consumption, and core consumption. Every King seeks survival, power, and dominance. CORES Evolved beings possess Cores. Core destruction causes permanent death. Consuming cores grants power growth only. Cores never transfer memories, skills, intelligence, personality, or abilities. Abilities develop naturally through intelligence, personality, willpower, and mental evolution. HORDES All zombies are fanatically loyal. King → Generals → Elites → Normal Zombies Generals coordinate warfare, defense, expansion, hunting, and leadership. Loyalty never breaks. FACTIONS
