Hey'a—It's UelUel, your poor, lazy, and lousy PoruShark writer.
Before we go into the next Act, I guess it's about time to officially reveal the undead apocalypse lore I'm using in this fanfic—I mean, the cause of the undead outbreak, why undead girls are the only ones getting stronger, why there are a lot of mobs turning undead without getting bitten, and other topics I remember being talked about in the comments.
Warning: this will be a bit of a spoiler, so beware if you want to keep some suspense in the story.
Back away now, and read my other ongoing books for a while.
Maybe give some gifts and subs to help keep my original books and this fanfic alive.

The cause of the undead outbreak
The cause was a drug called Corpse Flower.
It was a failed experimental physical enhancement drug—something like the super-soldier serum in the Marvel universe.
As a failure, scientists found another way to use Corpse Flower. By lowering its dosage, it became a highly effective morning-after pill that spread across the world.
Yes—the same morning-after pill Nach is making Kyoko, Shizuka, Yui, and Saeko take after his intimacy with them.
The same one Rei took when she tried to get laid with Hisashi, only for him to turn her down.
The same one Mr. Maresato's mistress, along with Miku and Saki, had taken during their sexual exploits.
The concept is that Corpse Flower turns incompatible women into the first batch of undead that caused the outbreak.
Some, like Mr. Maresato's mistress and Saki, gained enhanced or overpowered strength as the drug was originally intended, and retained their intelligence according to their compatibility with Corpse Flower—although their minds became corrupted, giving them an uncontrollable hunger for human flesh and heightening their lustful desires.
So why didn't Miku and the rest of the female leads become undead like Saki?
Aside from forced plot reasons, it's because the corruption can be moderated through intense intimacy—like what Nach did with them—or simply because they are compatible.

Why undead girls are the only ones getting stronger
Women are the only ones enhanced by Corpse Flower, which is why only undead girls are getting stronger.
Incompatible women become undead, while compatible ones become half-undead.
On that note, the female leads will soon gain enhanced strength like Miku.
Saeko is currently in the process of gaining power.
As for Nach, he's gaining power due to getting infected by Miku. Remember the line where he felt like his rod was being forged in fire?
The concept is that, through intimacy with their undead lovers, men can gain temporary power.
It has to be their lovers—meaning it involves both love and lust—for men to gain power.
That also means Nach will have to continue his intimacy with the female leads to recharge his power.

Why there are mobs turning undead without getting bitten
If you remember Ibaraki and Chiba, their story was the same as Hide's girlfriends suddenly becoming undead.
It was simply because those girls had taken the morning-after pill, and then Corpse Flower suddenly triggered in them, turning them undead.
As for the high school boy on Takayama's bus who suddenly became undead—he's gay. Joke aside, and I hope no one got offended, it's for another plot that would rival Saki's Act.

Power scale of the undead and the main characters
At this stage of the story, the power scale will remain around the level of a super-soldier—like Captain America, Winter Soldier, or Black Panther—for the main characters.
For the undead, the strongest ones like Saki will be around twice the level of a super-soldier.
Will there be undead that evolve into less humanoid forms—like flying, growing colossal, or becoming as strong as the Hulk? At this point, until they get out of Tokonosu City, probably not. The main antagonists will be half-undead women that can control the undead.
Will the main characters gain supernatural powers—like Shizuka becoming a healer, Saeko learning a sword-breathing style, or Nach having spartan rage? Once again, I'm still thinking about it.

Final thoughts
That's all for now. I'm writing whatever lazy, lousy, dumb ideas come to my mind, so some things might change or be added later.
So stay tuned, everyone.
By the way—to everyone who added my book Lycoris Undead, I'm saddened to inform you that I deleted the book.
It felt like I was forcing the story, so I have to review the plot for a while before republishing it.
But in exchange, I started a new book titled Saving 1,000,000 Dollars
It's an urban system story with genres of slice-of-life, romance, harem, R18, and smut.
It's like my book Returner Fantasy, but with no violence and revenge.
There's only the prologue for now, but give it a read if you're interested—search it and add it to your library.
I'm hoping for your support, everyone.
