    In Taoyundao, there exists a particular zombie since the ancient era. She is powerful but nameless. She ever had her own heart, but it was very cold and tough, like a stone. Because the nameless zombie was emotionless, a evil wizard had the chance to manipulate her through sending his own motivation into the zombie's heart. The zombie became the evil wizard's subordinate and did bad things for him.

    One day, the nameless zombie met a female battle exorcist. They fought all day long, and finally the exorcist won. As the victor, the exorcist didn't destroy the blasphemous zombie thoroughly; instead of that, she tried her best to fix the zombie. The exorcist held the zombie's inanimate heart in her hands and prayed for the zombie. She sent her innocent love into the zombie's heart, and finally she activated it successfully. Later, the exorcist repaired the zombie's damaged body parts and reassembled her into a whole, then the exorcist gave that revived heart back to the zombie as the most valuable gift.

    The nameless zombie began to really have a heart. It was strong and kind, stuffed up with the exorcist's noble affection. She lived with the exorcist for a while, then she departured for experiencing the world independently. Of course, the zombie often came back to visit the exorcist. She really enjoyed her new life in those days.

    However, the shining happiness did not last long. The exorcist lost her life in a tough battle. When the zombie sensed the death of the exorcist, her heart got ashed because of the tremendous sadness. This time, she totally lost her heart. Her body got split into pieces since she didn't had the spiritual power for integrating them as a zombie. Her parts fell into a weird pit where many imps and inferior monsters lived. The broken zombie stayed in the pit for years like a dead body. However, even she gave up herself, her best friend didn't despite she was gone.

    One day, the zombie's body parts got activated again. Although she didn't have a heart, one object was emitting gentle emotions to her parts instead of her heart. The zombie was curious (she could be curious again!), and she let her head search for the source. Soon she found that her emotions came from a cross, the one which the exorcist gifted her.

    "Oh... I miss her, I miss her so much, my best friend..." The zombie murmured. She realized that her best friend's spiritual power still resided in the cross for blessing her. It's the pledge of their friendship.

    The zombie integrated herself, the most powerful and nameless zombie came back from the hell. She picked up the cross, then she open her chest. The space where her heart should be there became empty, but it didn't matter. The zombie put the cross into her chest. With her friend's tenderness, she would Inherit the exorcist's will to live.

    The zombie became a legend in the future. She fights the evil to protect the weak, and she is always very kind to the people. Though she is famous, she is still nameless; she doesn't need a name.
