Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife



  It was just as Severus had said, the pain was enormous and Scarlet felt as if her entire body was tearing itself apart and then being reshaped. Her soul felt as if it was being ripped from her body one piece at a time. 

The sheer volume of power being forced upon her was enough to break her apart so much that she would never be able to recover.  Just as the process stopped and she sighed in relief, it would begin again, even more painfully than it had been before. 

When the temptation to give up became so strong, the name Ulysses rung in her mind and she pushed on. The words useless and stupid also rung in her mind and he just kept on pushing. 

In the middle of the night when all was silent , loud nightmarish screaming was heard in the house coming from Scarlet's room. Dorian, Mega and Adler jumped out of their beds and raced to Scarlet's room. Adler wasted no time in kicking the door open and Dorian pushed his way inside. They discovered Scarlet on the bed, sweat was dripping from every pore of her body, she was pale, burning up and there were traces of blood on her mouth. 

They were not the only ones to hear these screams, all the way from where he was, Esong heard them too because he was still awake, boiling with fury because Scarlet had deceived him. She was supposed to come to him tonight but he had waited for hours and not even her shadow had passed by his spaceship. When he heard the scream, he left the spaceship very quickly, and he pounded on the door of the Su family's house. 

This loud pounding woke up the rest of the family members that were sleeping. Everyone knew that something had happened.  In their house there were only two reasons for his possible commotion, either Mega was going into labor or Scarlet was having a fit of rage again.

It was Elroy that opened the door for Esong and when he entered, he saw Dorian carrying an unconscious Scarlet to the med bed. 

"Where is Justin?" Adler asked Elroy. 

"He is sleeping with Halley and the pets." 

"Go and stay with them, make sure that he does not come out and see her like this." Adler grabbed Elroy's shoulders and stared at him intensely as he said this. 

"Y...…Yes." Elroy replied nervous. 

Esong who had finally grown impatient grabbed Adler's left hand from Elroy's shoulder and he asked him sternly in a loud voice, "What happened?"

"Keep your voice down." Adler told Esong. "You will wake your son and if he sees his mother in this condition he will be frightened. Just follow me to the treatment room." 

They walked with hurried steps and found Dorian, Mega and Carolyn hovering over the med bed with worried and grim expressions on their faces. Mega Su was already crying and she was holding Dorian's arm tightly.

  Esong bent over and looked at Scarlet through the transparent casing of the med bed. Other than the blood on her mouth and her pale face, she looked peaceful. It was almost as if she was just sleeping. None of them even noticed that Severus had followed them and he lay down beside the med bed.

"What happened?" Esong asked in a deep voice. He did not take his eyes off the med bed even once. 

"She must have overworked herself during the day." Dorian said.

Mega let out a few small loud sobs, "I should have  checked in on her when Elroy told me that she had a headache. What kind of mother does not do something as simple as that for her sick child?" 

Dorian squeezed her arm with his free hand. "It's not your fault." He told his wife. "It's not the first time that our daughter has gone to bed exhausted or saying that she doesn't feel fine. She is going to be fine, this is just like last time when she whipped those maids with a rope and she spat out blood." 

"Fuck!!!I saw her whipping a beast in the forest today." Esong said. "I knew I should have dragged her out of there." His voice held a bit of self blame. 

Adler glared at Esong as if this was all his fault then. "You should have done something if you saw her fighting a beast, she is weak and stubborn but you are sensible, you should have known better. Or were you hoping that she dies so that you can remarry a woman your family approves of." 

"Adler, stop that." Dorian yelled. 

Esong and Adler were glaring at each other from a distance. The air in the room was charged with hostility.

"I was there to help where were you? Your little weak sister with the lowest level of mental strength is running around hunting for mutated beasts in the forest to make money and give you a better life. You should be ashamed of yourself." Esong retorted. 

Adler growled like an injured beast and he lunged at Esong but Dorian caught his son. "You are the reason why she is here on this cursed planet you son of a bitch, you and your fucking royal family condemned us to this place. We have been working from morning to night to feed this family long before she met her teacher and returned to her senses. Which black eye of yours saw me sending her to the forest to hunt for mutated beasts?  If she is hunting for them to make money, the only one to blame is you."

He was struggling with all his might against his father so that he could just one punch on his sister's ignorant husband's jaw.

While all this was going on Scarlet was unaware and she was smiling happily. She had managed to skip the establishment level and the foundation level thanks to Severus's blood. 

It had burned her, tortured her and almost torn her apart but she had successfully refined it and somehow her soul power increased so fast that she found herself on level two of soul cultivation at the beginning stage. One drop of Severus's blood had saved her hundreds of crystals that she would have needed to use. 

Just before the sun came up, she delivered the many souls and two soul eaters that they had captured.  She was the last reaper to deliver her souls so there were no other reapers around to notice that her level had gone up abnormally and she had delivered two soul eaters. 

Finally she purchased some pills and purifying water and when she did open her eyes, Esong's fierce black eyes were the first thing she saw.
