Necrotic Apocalypse	comment	Digby Graves was just an ordinary man in 12th-century England, maybe with a few too many petty crimes under his belt. Until the day he entered a haunted castle and found a magic ring that granted him incredible power, magic spells, limitless potential, and immortality.He died less than an hour later.Eight hundred years later, Digby the zombie is found in a melting glacier and brought to Seattle. When he unthaws, he is in a ravenous state and immediately attacks three people. He kills and eats two of them, but the third escapes, turns into a zombie, and starts the apocalypse.He does feel bad about that. But, well, he has other things to worry about now. As a magic zombie from the past, he has to rediscover his lost memories, find out exactly how his powers work, and navigate his way through this new world. Along the way, he has to deal with zombies, private military contractors, drone pilots, and lost children.A LitRPG series by David Petrie. The series consists of: Ravenous Revenant Rend

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_1522d74	comment	Technically-Living Zombie: In the second book, the zombie virus is modified to produce "revenants," which are still technically alive. For Digby's purposes, this means he can feed without murdering humans.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_28b2f93a	comment	Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Digby quickly points out that Skyline's practice of buying children, raising them as employees, and keeping them locked up in a Gilded Cage until they're needed for missions, is blatantly slavery. He is disgusted; during his time, slavery was outlawed in England.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_2b726e19	comment	Ring of Power: "Heretic rings" provide access to the Heretic Seed, a system that grants the power to control the magic around you and grow stronger, with a side benefit of Immortality just to get you started. "Guardian rings" are an intentionally hobbled system based on the Heretic rings with more limits.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_4dbd3706	type	Clap Your Hands If You Believe
Necrotic Apocalypse / int_4dbd3706	comment	Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Living things naturally have a mana system, and can sometimes unconsciously create powerful magical effects when enough people believe something strongly enough. However, these effects are universally either subtle or completely irrelevant to daily life. Churches have a sanctuary effect that changes the local mana balance and keeps certain monsters out, but since no one can access their mana and monsters didn't exist until recently, no one noticed. Digby loots the Cloak of the Goblin King from a display for Labyrinth and finds that it provides a passive mana buff, which again is irrelevant to anyone who doesn't have their mana enhanced already.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_60414102	comment	Zombie Apocalypse: Of course. Digby, in his ravenous state, attacks three scientists. One survives, and by the time Digby regains his mind hours later, the entire city is infected. And it's already spreading to other cities across the world. Rebecca realizes that Skyline is deliberately dropping zombies around the world to break quarantine.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: "Autem" is a Latin word that means "church," with some connotations of marriage. The Autem Empire is a fascist theocracy that has an initiation ceremony like a marriage.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_729c69f3	type	Politically Incorrect Villain
Necrotic Apocalypse / int_729c69f3	comment	Politically Incorrect Villain: Henwick seemed misogynistic even back when Digby was alive, focusing on how especially horrible it was that a woman was threatening the town. In modern times, he's retained that, seeming especially insulted when Rebecca dares to speak back to him (but only amused when Digby does worse). His secretary is also forced to wear extremely conservative clothing.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_796fa10c	comment	The Ageless: One of the first benefits of a Heretic ring is immortality, so that the Heretic can live long enough to reach their full power. Notably, the Guardian rings lack this, at least at lower levels. The Heretics immediately deduce that Henwick didn't want his Guardians growing too powerful.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_895ec17	comment	Only in It for the Money: Bancroft is a businessman who joined Henwick due to owing him a debt; it should be no surprise that he commanded Skyline largely as he would any other company, and had little interest in the religious side of things. He eventually defects when he realizes that there is no way he is going to survive Autem purging Skyline, and the power Digby offers is a far better alternative. His personal guards, likewise, are the same, and defect with him on the promise of Heretic rings.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_8ba9512b	type	Our Zombies Are Different
Necrotic Apocalypse / int_8ba9512b	comment	Our Zombies Are Different: The common zombies are standard shamblers, with one major difference: Anything they eat goes to a bottomless void, and those resources can be used to mutate into more powerful forms. Mindless zombies just mutate the first time they hit the requirements for anything, but Digby can pick and choose his mutations due to his intelligence. The curse is modified in the second book to produce "revenants." If someone is bitten at night, or has an existing bite when the sun goes down, they will turn almost instantly. Revenants are faster, stronger, and have a moderate Healing Factor. They also drink blood, meaning that nearly all of their victims remain intact enough to turn as well. Mason's entire squad is turned in minutes. They can mutate as well, though the exact requirements aren't spelled out. They are also alive, which is one of the reasons they are weaker during the day; they don't have the pure Death mana to counteract the shift in the environmental mana that the sun causes. Plus, zombies can still eat them.

Necrotic Apocalypse / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: Digby was a thief and a jackass when he was alive, and now he's also an undead abomination that eats people. Still, he's not willing to attack people who have done nothing to him (and initially hesitates to attack some people who are actively trying to kill him), and only eats people who were dead when he found them. He's also quite protective of children, and absolutely refuses to work with Skyline after he witnesses them execute a young Zombie Infectee without even trying to find a cure.

The exact changes are not examined in depth, but several scenes from the perspective of Guardians has them with a normal reaction to something horrible, only for them to think of a way to dismiss and justify it.

Rebecca is able to dismiss watching soldiers murder a teenage boy because she just assumes it's for the best. Manning sees nothing wrong with making the Zombie Apocalypse worse because he is certain that his superiors know what they're doing.
