Ed

Ed is the contestant and the protagonist of the game.

History
A few months ago, Ed won the silver medal in a "Candy Fun Marathon“. Unfortunately he died a few minutes later from a heart attack. For more than 4 days nobody found his body, rotting in a nearby field. As fate willed and for reasons unknown, Ed became the first undead. For days he aimlessly wandered around, finally being found by a young boy named Ben.

In the Game
Ed is assigned with competing as the first contestant in Hans Showmaster's newest gameshow Rundead. Ed is tasked with completing several obstacle courses to reach Ben at the end.

The final round of the game is a race between Ed and Hans, during which, Hans is knocked off the course. Ed reaches Ben at the end and appears to hug him, but proceeds to eat him, revealing that Ed never considered Ben to be his friend, just his lunch.
