For hours, Zane kept swinging his broadsword, his arms moving with unwavering momentum. He had long lost count of the number of zombies he had cut down. The battlefield was drenched in decay and silence.

Zane dropped to one knee, using his sword to support himself. He panted heavily, chest heaving, sweat streaking down his blood-smeared face. His entire body was sore, his muscles screaming.
