The cool night breeze rustled the diamond-like leaves, casting a surreal, shimmering glow across the damp forest floor.

The girl stood frozen, her breath catching in her throat as she looked at her surroundings. The contrast was jarring: a dark, suffocating forest, a towering, silent apartment complex that looked entirely out of place among the trees, and right in front of her, this impossibly beautiful, sparkling tree with sparkle leaves that look like diamonds...shining and sparkle.

For a fleeting second, the brilliant reflection made her forget the danger.

Then, the weight of reality crashed back down on her.

She was inside *Zombie Sanctuary*. The comic book was no longer just ink and paper; it was her immediate, terrifying reality. Her mind raced back to the sequence of events that had brought her here.

AS it was a dark surrounded night... A girl was chased by some masked members... She brilliantly escaped from them.....and hide at top of a tree.... after they left, she started to run swiftly and reached a certain place.

She was assigned a mission...so to complete it....she sneaked into a building.... INSIDE THE BUILDING, a young boy....was waiting for her..... As soon as she enter.....he tells her with a scary tone " WHY ARE YOU LATE? I AM WAITING FOR YOU".... She didn't get scared despite of his voice and confront him..... she asked boldly....how did you know my name?....welll......that's not important now..... I am here to ask you something..... the boy changed his voice to a normal tone. And said , yeah...ask me anything ......except me.....lol..... she gets irritated.....and ask how can i go inside this comic....... okay.....i will definitely tell you the method.....but you have to do me a favour.... You have to get me some things from there and give it to me..... And that is ****(whispers in her ear)*** They prepare themselves and started some rituals... FIRST you have to close your eyes....and i will put some magic upon you and i will OPEN the magic door of the book and you will jump inside it..... SHE GETS READY AND JUMP INSIDE THE BOOK NAMED "ZOMBIE SANCTUARY"........

She remembered the dizzying sensation of falling through space before she was lying unconscious in a dark forest.......as soon as she wakeup she kept walking.... And finally saw a tall apartment.....and near the apartment there is a big tree with sparkle leaves that look like diamonds...shining and sparkle....

She reached into her pocket to check if she had brought any of her gear through the portal, but her hand brushed against something entirely unfamiliar.

Pulling it out, she found a small, blank comic panel grid drawn on a piece of ancient, weathered parchment.

It throbbed with a faint, bioluminescent blue light. The boy’s final, parting words before she jumped through the magic door flashed through her mind: *“The comic adapts to its characters. If you want to survive, you have to learn how to write your own escape.”*

A sharp, snapping sound broke her concentration.

From the pitch-black shadows surrounding the base of the tall apartment building, a low, guttural groan echoed through the trees.

It was a sound devoid of humanity—hollow, hungry, and raspy.

The shimmering light of the diamond leaves caught a silhouette dragging itself into the open. Then another. And another.

Their clothes were tattered, their skin a mottled, sickly gray, and their eyes reflected the brilliant sparkle of the tree with a horrifying, vacant stare. The inhabitants of the *Zombie Sanctuary* had smelled living flesh.

Her pulse skyrocketed, but the adrenaline didn't paralyze her. After all, she was the girl who had just outsmarted a gang of masked pursuers in the real world.

A bunch of slow-moving undead wasn't going to stop her now. She looked up at the towering apartment complex.

It was ominous, but it offered high ground, choke points, and potentially the very items she had been sent to find.

Steeling her resolve, she gripped the glowing parchment tightly, took a deep breath, and sprinted toward the apartment’s main entrance, leaving the sparkling diamond tree behind in the dark.

The first chapter of her survival story had officially begun.
