I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl

Chapter 488 - 485 – Level 200 and the Peaceful Market

Even though Sylvia had displayed a glimpse of her terrifying absolute authority in front of the Crown Prince bluntly delivering a cold warning so that the man would never disturb her privacy again she knew very well the psychological characteristics of arrogant nobles. The Crown Prince’s arrogant, narcissistic, and ego-driven personality would undoubtedly make him ignore every single one of her warnings. A man like him, who had been accustomed since birth to obtaining everything he desired with just a snap of his fingers, would never willingly back down simply because of a verbal threat from someone he considered nothing more than a foreign adventurer.However, for Sylvia, all the political intrigue and minor threats from the imperial palace were merely low-level external disturbances with no real tactical weight. If the time came, she could annihilate the entire empire whenever she wished. While the empire possessed a strong military foundation and respected elite knights, all that accumulated power was simply no match for the Primordial Zombie Queen, who had now successfully tamed and gained full control over an ancient monster entity created by Tiamat like Mušmaḫḫū.

When noon arrived, not long after finishing a light lunch on the ground floor of the inn, Sylvia began to feel a faint sense of boredom clouding her mind. Inside the suite room, her two sisters, Alicia and Stacia, were still in the recovery phase of their mana circulation after yesterday’s intense battle in the dungeon.

Stacia appeared to be enjoying her leisurely time, curled up comfortably on a soft velvet sofa near the large window overlooking the city street. Her delicate hands held a thick volume of a new adventure fiction novel, and a small smile occasionally bloomed on her beautiful lips whenever her eyes found an interesting plot twist.

Meanwhile, Alicia sat quietly behind a small wooden table, continuing her sewing work with extraordinary precision. She was manually transforming a piece of pure white silk fabric into a spare dress, carefully weaving fine protective rune structures into every inch of the thread using her pure spirit mana. The small Qilin slept peacefully curled up in Alicia’s warm lap, while the golden cat Sol occasionally peeked lazily from behind Sylvia’s shoulder.

"I’m going out for a bit to the central market area," Sylvia said in a low, flat tone as she shifted her standing position. "Staying cooped up in the room for too long is starting to make my mental focus feel a bit stagnant."

Stacia gave a lazy wave with her right hand without shifting her gaze from the lines of text in her thick novel. "Be careful out there, Sylvia. And please, try not to cause any new scandals or mass commotion again."

Alicia looked up for a moment, giving a gentle smile full of pure serenity. "Take Sol with you as a traveling companion. The two of us will use the rest of the afternoon to perfect our energy circulation recovery."

Sylvia gave a faint nod in response, then stepped out of the closed room alone. She headed toward the inn’s stable area in the back courtyard. As soon as her silhouette was detected by their sense of smell, her pair of personal zombie horses let out happy snorts filled with warm greetings.

Their glossy black outer coats would appear to ordinary eyes as high-quality riding horses, but the faint glow of their blood-red eyes in the darkness indicated the absolute loyalty embedded deep within their undead souls.

Sylvia began moving various trade commodities from her system dimensional storage into the rear compartment of the horse carriage bags of rare spices from dungeons, rolls of magical silk fabric, various small household items, and several low-rank equipment pieces she had collected from previous dungeon explorations. The carriage had a very ordinary and simple appearance, a perfect visual camouflage to blend in with the civilian merchant class.

She then gracefully and efficiently leaped onto the wooden coachman’s seat. Following her movement, the golden cat Sol nimbly jumped from the ground and took a comfortable curled position on Sylvia’s lap.

"Let’s go back to playing the role of ordinary merchants for today, Sol," Sylvia murmured softly as her pale fingers gently stroked the fine golden fur of the sacred cat.

Hearing the instruction, the pair of zombie horses in front let out synchronized energetic snorts, then began moving their legs in a slow and steady rhythm, pulling the wooden carriage away from the inn’s back courtyard.

The journey to the central market area didn’t take long. The city streets during this afternoon period were very busy and crowded, filled with the movement of traveling merchant convoys, civilians shopping for supplies, and several fully armed adventurer groups who had just completed exploration quests from outside the city borders.

Sylvia guided her carriage toward a horizontal trading stall slot that she had secured some time ago. With quick, trained, and systematic hand movements, she began unloading and neatly arranging all her merchandise on the wooden board table, organizing spice bags by aroma type, hanging pure silk rolls to best display their patterns, and arranging minor artifacts in visually appealing layouts.

After all the stall preparations were complete, Sylvia sat down relaxed on a wooden folding chair behind the stall table. Sol immediately jumped back onto her lap, curling into a warm ball of golden fur while letting out a rhythmic soft purr. Sylvia moved her pale fingers to gently stroke Sol’s back, enjoying the sensation of warmth that contrasted sharply with the constantly cold deathly temperature of her undead body.

The gentle afternoon breeze carried a mix of appetizing street food aromas, the dynamic sounds of haggling between merchants, and the cheerful laughter of children playing actively around the market corridors. The atmosphere here felt so peaceful, calm, and simply a complete contrast to the memory of the brutal, life-and-death battle they had faced in the underground dungeon cave the night before.

Suddenly, in the midst of that tranquility, a flash of memory crossed Sylvia’s consciousness. "Ah... I just remembered that since we finished clearing Mušmaḫḫū yesterday, I haven’t had the chance to check and review my personal system status," she muttered in a very low voice, almost like a whisper on the afternoon wind.

With a single mental visualization, Sylvia instructed her internal soul system to project the status screen into her mind. As soon as the magical text manifested and emitted a faint blue glow, the dark red eyes of the Queen of Death widened slightly in a rare tactical surprise.

One line of numerical parameters at the very top of the status column displayed astonishing data:

[Level: 200]

From her previous level limit of 110, her power index had skyrocketed vertically straight to 200 in a single system leap. The massive accumulation of experience points (EXP) gained from eliminating and executing the ancient legendary monster entity created by Tiamat in the primordial era had manifested in a volume far beyond normal calculation.

Not only had her level parameter undergone a quantum leap, but all her basic supporting statistics had also experienced significant structural increases: physical attack power, absolute cellular resistance, mana capacity, and regeneration limits were now at much higher parameters. Her Abyss holy chains and zombie manipulation skill capacities now manifested with far more solid, refined, precise, and many times more lethal energy frequencies according to the laws of the world.

"The sheer volume of EXP points generated from a single ancient specimen is truly this massive..." Sylvia whispered with a tone full of pure, objective admiration.

A thin, cold yet captivating smile slowly formed at the corner of her pale lips. A new tactical ambition suddenly became crystal clear in the depths of her consciousness: the activity of hunting, eliminating, and consuming the remaining existences of ancient monsters and primordial creatures still hidden across the various corners of this world now felt like a highly interesting and valuable journey agenda.

With this achievement of reaching Level 200, the gateway to the next major evolution phase was now within much closer reach. Her undead body was certain to transform toward absolute perfection, bringing her power level steadily across the dimensional boundaries of god-like strength.

Then Sylvia looked at her status, which she hadn’t checked in a very long time. She wasn’t surprised because her stats were already so high that the numbers had been summarized.

Sylvia slowly closed the status screen visualization in her mind with deep satisfaction.

Sol looked up, as if sensing his master’s joy. Sylvia stroked his head more gently. "We will become even stronger, Sol."

That afternoon passed peacefully. Several customers came, buying spices and fabrics at prices Sylvia set quite high but still reasonable. She served them politely, but her mind remained on her new status. Every time she checked the stats she had long ignored, she became more certain that their journey had just entered a new, more dangerous and enjoyable phase.
