Synopsis
When the world fell to the undead, Raven didn’t just survive—she led. With a group of misfit classmates, a van full of sarcasm, snacks, and weapons (and maybe one bottle of vodka too many), they take on collapsing malls, chaotic friendships, and something darker hiding in the shadows.But even in a world crawling with zombies, the scariest part might be feelings...This isn’t just the end of the world. It’s the beginning of their story.Dead City: Beginning of the End — chaos, survival, loyalty, and one hell of a kill count.

Chapter 1 - Class dismissed

We see a girl sitting in a circle with 7 people with a candle in the middle as she is about to speak a flashback to....☀️ A bright blue sky.

Text fades in the corner:

Three Weeks Ago.--- Inside a quiet neighborhood. A modern home. Inside,a tuition class.

HAHAHAHAHA— The same girl

Her laughter could shake the walls. She didn't care. The math sum was too dumb and friend was too funny.Raven! the teacher snapped in a chill tone. Have you done that sum or not?She grinned. Yes, ma'am. Page 12, question 4. Solved and slain.🫡😎That's Raven. Unbothered. Chaos-certified.Suddenly, the door opened and a boy walked in—Late. Again.Orion, the teacher sighed. You're late. Again.Sorry ma'am,he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. 😅There was an empty seat next to Raven.Sit there,she instructed.Now Orion was on the left, and Virin—a fellow chaos goblin—was on the right.🕒 Time skip – a little later Everyone started packing. Class was almost over. Orion and Raven were about to leave when—Raven, Orion. One second, the teacher called.They paused. She needed to tell us something.But then—Groaning.Quiet at first.Then again.Louder.Closer.She frowned. Shhh… you hear that?They went still.More groaning. Lots of it.They turned toward the stairs.And saw them.Three zombies.Eyes blank. Jaws slack.Then—they ran.Run! She yelled.She grabbed Orion's hand and pulled—he tripped and landed on top of her. Get off—!she whispered, and slammed the door shut with her foot just as the zombies reached it.They pounded against the door.She sprinted up, pushing against it. Orion helped. Two other boys joined them.Think, Raven. Think.Then she remembered.Ma'am had a knife.She'd been cutting apples earlier. Raven grabbed it.On the count of three, she shouted, Open the door. The rest of you grab chairs—anything you can swing!One…Two…THREE!SLASH The door opened.I slashed.They fell.Every zombie—down.But a few had already gotten in.And turned others.So she did what had to be done.Silence fell.The air smelled like blood and antiseptic.Raven turned to the shocked room.Go home. All of you. Meet here again in two days. No earlier. No later.Everyone looked shaken, but nodded.Okay, someone whispered.Raven grabbed her bag, ready to leave—Wait, Orion said.He gently caught my arm.Your home's far. It's dangerous out there right now.He looked at me, eyes soft but firm. Come with me.Another groan echoed through the halls. Rave didn't argue....Okay.
