"There's no way I wouldn't be alive if I had met him"

Idk why but this gave me an aneurysm for a sec. Since he's still alive, I assume he meant that he would have died if they met?
That doesn't sound quite right either... He would have said, "There's no way I would be alive if I had met him"

...help an ESL out please😭

Boy, for just having just had a number of bodies cremated the night before out of fear that they would turn undead, these people sure don't seem to have their guard up in regards to other people being undead...

Looks to me like just a matter of punctuation missing. Treat each bubble like its own sentence and it works out fine.

A way to read that whole conversion is that she is saying that He is the Blade Demon, and he doesn't even know it.

Since he is convinced he's not the Blade Demon, he went out of his way to avoid the Blade Demon in his mercenary days

I don't care how rural your village is, how slow you get new information in town, or how rare it actually is. If zombies are a real thing in your world, you KNOW what to look out for. These are tales told by mothers to their children to keep them in line. Tales kids spread to scare friends.

You're not just going to walk up to a conjugated group of listless, meandering people with terrible shape language and not instantly know those are zombies- or at the very least, some sort of charmed thrall.
