Cultivating Kîller-plants (Taekook)
Prologue
When the apocalypse arrived, Kim taehyung, who hadn’t awakened any supernatural abilities, bound a system with its own space.
Under the system’s guidance, he began planting within the space-----except… why were the things he grew becoming more and more unusual?
One day, Kim taehyung arrived at a large base. The people there, upon learning he had wood-type abilities, couldn’t help but look down on him.
After all, among all supernatural abilities, wood-type was the most common and the weakest, typically limited to catalyzing plant growth.
That was until the base was suddenly attacked by a horde of zômbies. Kim taehyung released a red plant...a delicate, “willowy” grass that swayed even in a gentle breeze.
[Everyone thought: Is he here to joke around?]
But then the red grass suddenly expanded, bûrst into flàmes, and trànsformed into a massive firèball that rolled wildly across the battlefield.
Wherever the fireball went, zombies were reduced to ashes.
[Everyone: Holy shît, since when is this wood-type ability?! ]
Later, they discovered that Kim taehyung didn’t just have grass that could turn into firebàlls....he also had plants that could shôot ice blàdes, transform into balloons to carry people through the air…
[Everyone: We’re done for! ]
Picked up a dyìñg puppy. Soft-hearted, he decided to take it in.
But even the dog he raised turned out unusual....since when could a dog grow as tall as a person?
Kim taehyung: (It’s great! With temperatures dropping to -30 or -40 degrees Celsius at night in the apôcàlypse, burying myself in ××××’s long fur is pure bliss!)
Until one day, he woke up to find that the one he was holding had turned into a handsome, dark-skinned man...and his face was buried in the other’s pectoral muscles.

Chapter 1
Beneath kim taehyung’s feet was a one-meter by one-meter(1×1) patch of dark soil. Based on his upbringing in the countryside, he judged it to be exceptionally fertile.
So fertile, in fact, that if his parents saw it, they would undoubtedly be unable to resist planting something.
But his parents were unlikely to see it, for the land beneath his feet belonged to no real-world location. To be precise, he wasn’t even in real space at the moment.
All of this had begun a week prior. Even now, the events of that day felt utterly surreal.
It was an ordinary weekend, indistinguishable from any other. As a fresh-faced corporate drone, kim taehyung cherished his rare days off and had planned to luxuriate in bed, ideally until noon.
But in his sleep, he was jolted awake by a loud *bang*, like the sound of something heavy toppling over.
The noise seemed to emanate from downstairs, so kim taehyung dismissed it, rolling over to resume his slumber. Yet, no sooner had he pulled the covers over his head and closed his eyes than a sharp, piercing scrèam echoed.....human-like, yet unsettlingly not.
Goosebumps instantly prickled kim taehyung’s skin. He glanced at the time: 7 a.m., just after dawn.
After a moment’s hesitation, he swung his legs out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and hurried to the window to investigate.
His apartment wasn’t high up...only on the fifth floor...affording him a clear view of the street below.
On the sidewalk stood a person beside an overturned tràsh can, likely the source of the earlier commotion.
The individual wore a bright orange sanitation worker’s uniform, clearly identifying them as such.
They walked forward with a stiff, tilted head, their movements twisted and èerie, like a rusted, broken machine operating on instinct alone.
Why did kim taehyung think that? Because he watched as the person repeatedly collided with a pillar directly in their path, yet showed no sign of pain, continuing to bump into it mindlessly.
Kim taehyung
Frowning, Kim taehyung muttered to himself, “What in the world is going on?”
At that moment, he was more inclined to believe the person was sûffering from some medical condition.
After a moment’s thought, he picked up the cell phone he’d instinctively grabbed and prepared to call the police.
But just then, something unexpected happened. Kim taehyung watched as someone approached the sanitation worker, only to be bîtten moments later, letting out a blôodcûrdling scrèam.
Not long after, the person who had been perfectly fine began moving with the same stiff, twîsted gàit as the sanitation worker. The two "people" then started wandering aimlessly.
A chîll ran down kim taehyung’s spiñe as he finally realized the gravity of the situation. He tried calling 110 multiple times, but no one answered.
What was happening? Shouldn’t the emergency line be staffed 24/7?
He tried several more times, and during those attempts, several more distôrted figures appeared downstairs. Those people… they seemed like zômbies!!!
As absurd as the idea seemed, kim taehyung had a growing, chilling suspicion that his guess was probably correct.
His fingers trembling slightly, he decided to stop dialing the emergency number and instead called his mother.

Chapter 2
Fortunately, after a few rings, someone picked up. Even though it was only a little past seven, kim taehyung’s mother was already up and busy.
Kim Min-ah
She sounded surprised to hear from him: “Oh, tae-ah, why are you up so early today?” she asked.
Hearing her familiar voice eased some of kim taehyung’s profound unease.
Kim taehyung
He let out a sigh of relief and quickly asked, “What about Dad and eun?”
Kim Min-ah
"Your dad’s brushing his teeth and washing his face...he just got up. eun's still asleep. It’s the weekend, let her sleep in a bit longer,” she said.
Kim jieun was kim taehyung’s younger sister, currently a sophomore in high school.
Hearing that his father and sister were safe, taehyung relaxed slightly.
He was about to tell his mother about the strange occurrences downstairs and warn her to be careful when a loud noise erupted from the other end of the phone.
Kim Min-ah
His mother muttered, “Who could that be, bànging so early in the morning?”
Kim Min-ah
Then, she called out to taehyung’s father, “Old kim, go open the door.”
taehyung’s father acknowledged and moved to answer the door.
Kim taehyung
But just then, taehyung urgently exclaimed, “Don’t open the door!”
The sound wasn’t like knocking...it was more like… banging. At that moment, any shred of hope taehyung had clung to vanished completely.
Kim Ji-eun
The banging continued, and kim jieun’s voice came through the phone, sounding like she’d just woken up: “Mom, Dad~, who’s banging? It’s so annôying…”
Kim taehyung
"Jieun! Listen to me!” taehyung immediately called his sister over and explained what he had seen that morning and his tèrrifying suspicions.
Kim Ji-eun
“Bro, are you joking? Did you not wake up properly? Aren’t zömbies just in TV shows?” kim jieun laughed, clearly not buying it.
Cheng Zhiyu’s parents were also confused. They didn’t watch much TV and had no idea what zômbies were.
Kim taehyung
Kim taehyung’s tone turned dèad serious: “I wish I were wrong, but… jieun, we have a surveillance camera at the front door, right? Don’t open the door. Check the camera first.”
Kim jieun wasn’t smiling anymore. She had a chilling feeling her brother wasn’t joking. The bañging at the door hadn’t stopped since it began, and throughout, there had been no other sounds.
How was that possible? If it were a person knocking, wouldn’t they say something after such a long time without an answer?
There was only one explanation… whatever was outside the door wasn’t human.
When kim jieun checked the surveillance footage and saw what was happening, her worst fears were confirmed.
As a teenage girl, the sight of the pale, expressionless zömbie with rōtting wounds terrified her, and her face instantly turned ashen.
Kim Min-ah
"Good heavens, what disèase is this?” taehyung’s mother trembled, recognizing the person outside as someone from their village whom she had spoken to just the day before. How had they become like this?
Kim taehyung
“Mom, it’s not an illnèss.” Worried that his family might open the door out of ignorance, kim taehyung forced himself to stay calm and carefully explained what zômbies were.
Kim taehyung
“Whatever you do, do not open the door. Zômbies will bîte people uncontrollably. If you’re bîtten or scràtched, you’ll turn into one too. They’re not human anymore…”
Hearing this, kim taehyung’s parents thought about how close they had come to opening the door. If they had done so unprepared… They shuddered, not daring to imagine the consequences.
Kim jieun, having regained her composure, was sharp and immediately thought of her brother living in the city, where the situation was likely far worse.
Kim Ji-eun
Anxiously, she asked, “Bro, what about you? There are definitely more people in the city, unlike our village, which has few people. We can stay indoors...we have plenty of stored food that’ll last a long time. But what about you? You probably don’t have much food…” she asked.
As she spoke, her eyes welled up, tèrrified that something might happen to her brother in the city.
Hearing this, kim taehyung’s parents also grew añxiously worried.
Kim taehyung
sighed to himself and lied to reassure them: “Don’t worry, the situation here isn’t that bad. The government reacted quickly and has already started organizing rescue efforts.”
His family all sighed in relief. What they didn’t know was that the zômbie virûs had struck too suddenly.
Many people in key positions had been iñfected, throwing the system into chaos. Even the government was caught off guard.
