All Chapters of The Little Zombie Who Longed for Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Talia Silva’s face turned green.She spent half an hour sitting by my bed, checking my breathing one moment and prying open my eyelids the next.I was more than happy to cooperate.I folded my hands over my chest, wore a peaceful expression and used the time to browse my reincarnation options.I was not asking for wealth or status. I just wanted to be alive.An hour later, my stomach growled. The tissue in Talia’s hand fell to the floor.“Why aren’t you dead yet?”Unfortunately, that was a question beyond my area of expertise. I sat up and rubbed my completely unresponsive stomach.“Maybe the dose wasn’t strong enough.”Her lips trembled. Afraid of discouraging her enthusiasm for the job, I hurried to offer some encouragement.“For your first poisoning attempt, you did pretty well. At least the flavor was spot-on.”Talia looked as though she had seen a ghost.Strictly speaking, even seeing a ghost might not have been half as shocking as seeing me.She stumbled backward,

I was fine after falling into the pool. Talia, however, ended up in the hospital that very night.According to the doctors, she had a congenital blood disorder that had suddenly worsened. She needed a hematopoietic stem cell transplant as soon as possible.As luck would have it, I was the only person in the entire family who was a match. The Silva family gathered around my hospital bed, each wearing an expression more solemn than the last.Matheus appealed to the bonds of blood. Victoria reminded me of the eighteen years she had spent raising Talia. My three older brothers took turns reminding me that Talia had been there for them for eighteen years.After listening to all of them, I arrived at one simple conclusion. She had taken my place. Therefore, I owed her half a life.No wonder the wealthy played by different rules. Even their accounting was more extravagant than everyone else’s.Byron handed me the consent form. “We’re only taking a portion. It won’t put your life at ri

When the countdown reached three, James finally broke down the warehouse door.He charged into the flames, kicked the fallen beam out of the way and dragged my charred body from the rubble.Unfortunately, he was still too late. My soul had already floated up to the warehouse ceiling.In the first minute of being separated from my body, I took a moment to check my limbs.My arms and legs were still there, and my head had not sprung a leak from being dropped one too many times either. The after-death service was more thorough than I expected.James knelt on the ground, frantically slapping my face. “Bianca, wake up. Quit pretending. I’m here to take you home.”I floated over beside him and kindly offered a word of advice. “Stop slapping me. Any harder and I’ll start shedding pieces.”He could not hear me. Instead, he pulled me even tighter against his chest. The charred flesh of my body stuck to his shirt, but he seemed not to notice.The ambulance finally arrived, far too late.

The Grim Reaper’s family name was Fern.He explained that the reincarnation system needed seven days to clear the corrupted data because I had overstayed my time in the mortal world.During those seven days, I was free to go wherever I pleased. My first request was to visit a burger restaurant.Fern rejected it outright. “Ghosts can’t eat.”I refused to give up.“What about just smelling the food?”“Smell it too much and you’ll develop an attachment to the mortal world. Keep that up and you’ll turn into a vengeful spirit.”After some thought, I decided to stay at the Silva residence and watch the drama unfold.After all, they were crying louder with every passing minute. It was more entertaining than any TV show.The police soon took Talia into custody. She clung to Victoria’s legs, refusing to let go.“Mom, I’m the daughter you’ve raised for eighteen years. I didn’t know Bianca would actually die. She did it on purpose! She knew that lock would kill her. Why didn’t she tell

My ashes were never brought back to the Silva family.Victoria wanted to bury me in the Silva family cemetery, but James found a list of my final wishes in the notes app on my phone.There were only three things listed.‘First, scatter my ashes wherever. Don’t take up the cemetery space. Paying a mortgage while dead is a terrible investment.’‘Second, don’t waste your money burning fake cash for me. Once I’m reincarnated, there’s no guarantee I’ll recognize that currency.’‘Third, I’d love to have a burger with extra cheese, and some fries. You can set it in front of my grave, but preferably eat it right away. Don’t waste food.’The Silva family spent the entire day arguing over it. In the end, Matheus bought a plot of land overlooking the river, while Harriet took charge of ordering the burger.When the delivery driver arrived at the cemetery, he looked thoroughly confused.“Who ordered the deluxe cheeseburger with fries?”I was immediately offended. Why would anyone order a
