Chaos looked at the soul of this dragon zombie with intrigue. This peculiar new companion had a completely different soul than anything he had ever seen before, it was quite peculiar, to say the least. This entire being's power was composed of death… pure and utter death.

The dragon looked at him as if it knew him from somewhere.

"Who are you?" wondered Chaos.

"Grahh…"

The dragon zombie released a small groan, as it walked backwards and then sat down.

It suddenly began to ponder who it was… until it finally gained a few memories of its past, of its previous life…

Much like Abyss, this Zombie Dragon came from that other world, the Earth-like world where an apocalypse had occurred. After the death of Chaos, there were many facilities that continued doing experiments using his Miasma and Chaos Magic in secret.

Despite how the public learned about him and there were many movements against the experimentation of magic in living beings, this never went anywhere, and any attempt at assaulting known facilities ended in the governments acting boldly against the very people, shooting them down and treating them as criminals.

Due to this, Abyss was not the only victim after this, many orphan kids suffered a similar fate, if not worse… amongst the first batches of kids that were brought into experimentation facilities and forced to be used as guinea pigs, there was one of them that had a rather miserable existence.

It was a young boy with no ability whatsoever, an excellent specimen for the experimentation of the usage of Miasma and Chaos Mana. Without powers, there wouldn't be anything getting in the way of it developing the powers of Chaos.

What the scientists in this world ultimately wanted was to recreate Chaos once more, an even stronger and more resilient Chaos they could extract the power from, an endless source of Chaos energy.

However, all their attempts had ended in a failure, and this young and powerless boy was no exception, made as a vessel of chaos as they thought he could become the perfect vessel, they slowly injected miasma and chaos mana into his body, and then saw him change, adapt, and… die.

He died right after a few hours of being experimented on, without any type of powerups in failure. He just died because his body couldn't take the energy and the miasma, it was almost about to explode but instead it died and began to decompose…

The scientists were utterly disappointed! They ended throwing him into the trash, and forgot about this failure after a few days of work in their field once more. However, the boy was somehow still "alive".

After waking up inside a bag in the middle of trash, he slowly began to crawl around, eating living beings and growing stronger, never stopping. He seems to not have truly died but he developed a new ability, becoming the first Undead in this world.

He stormed a city as he devoured the people there without any problems, he didn't knew about remorse or anything as he was never thought anything since he became an Undead, animalistic, his powers reached new heights as he ate more people.

The commotion ended causing the entire nation to chase him down, but he grew stronger very quickly, so the entire place became his dining room until he was eliminated by a deadly explosion of flare using deadly fire magic… and then it was finally over in that instant.

Or was it? Certainly, it should had died… but did it?

However, when this boy, who was given the codename of [Rot] died, his soul left his body but was caught by a mysterious dark force, an entity of unknown and mysterious powers that was capable of even influencing souls, even if a little bit now that it was weakened and sealed by chains…

The boy, who had always lived alone and spent his last years acting like a wild monster or animal felt overwhelmed by the sudden feeling of warmth and motherly embrace that this entity gave to him. A sense of fulfillment encompassed his entire being, as he felt like he wanted to stay with this darkness forever. But it could not.

This darkness gave it a special task, a task that involved helping her own son, and her own son was… someone that the boy would get to know later on, but that he had already seen and known about… it was of course, the boy who shook the world with his sorrowful story, and also the origin of the Miasma which was still being used to experiment with others.

Unlike Abyss, this boy didn't held much of a connection with Chaos nor he pitied him or something like this, in fact, it had never thought about him until he was mentioned by this motherly and embracing darkness…

"Please, could you go assist my child? He is in grave need for strong companions… You, who come from his original world… could you help him?"

"…"

The boy didn't knew how to speak, but understood her, and nodded within its soul's appearance.

"Thank you… I will make sure to give you a little gift for your journey there. It will take some time, so make sure to ready yourself."

Chaos infused a tiny part of power into the boy's soul, mutating it into a massive mass of death mana. With this, she sent him off across the cosmos, until he landed into the Summoning Artifact and became a small Zombie Dragon…

The moment he glanced at Chaos, he didn't much of his appearance, but when he felt the presence… the same presence of this motherly figure within him, he felt the need to hug and jump over him, as if he had once more meet this existence that made him so comfortable to be with.

"I… I am… Rot…" said the little zombie dragon, calling itself with the name humans once gave to him, he had now a new name, Rot.

"S-Stop licking him!" cried Abyss, as she tried to move away Rot from Chaos…
