He encounters the first man-made structures and approach them eagerly, but what he finds are not humans, but rather a humanoid species developed similarly to humans but with stark contrasts, such as oversized heads, noses, large green eyes, and abnormally long torsos. Stiff attempts to speak to these humanoids, but they speak in a different language, characterized by a variety of incomprehensible hums. Deciding that he'd take what he could, he enters one of the humanoid homes and discovers a bed, where he tries to sleep, before being kicked out by an angry humanoid who lives there. Nightfall is coming, and not a single humanoid is outside. Confused, Stiff explores the town to see if any houses were unoccupied, until he sees the first actual human. Composed of rotting flesh and red eyes, it shuffles towards him with evil intent, Stiff is frightened by this, and realizes that this infection must have made every human extinct in this universe. Taking a rock, he bashes the zombie's skull in, and runs as a group of zombies begin following him. While trying to hide, he finds an abandoned shed made of rock, and hides inside, and sleeps cautiously until morning. | He encounters the first man-made structures and approach them eagerly, but what he finds are not humans, but rather a humanoid species developed similarly to humans but with stark contrasts, such as oversized heads, noses, large green eyes, and abnormally long torsos.

He then uses the wood to make a statue of the Prime Leader of Caldera to remind himself of home. Then, to keep the zombies out, he constructs a makeshift wood wall around the statue, and goes out to the humanoid village to see what they have to offer. He notices that they have established farms, so he steals some seeds, and he takes a bucket of water. He continues to search for an abandoned house, of which he doesn't find, but he finds a religious chapel that appears to not be used. He takes a chair from it, and brings all of his newfound goods to his statue where he plants crops, waters them, and takes a sip for himself. The final things he needs, are a ceiling, and a bed. He takes his axe and chops down another tree, than uses the logs to start a ceiling over his walls, and he continues to do this for hours, cutting down trees and placing their logs on his walls. While pulling up the final log, he notices something miraculous, a cow and a sheep had begin to watch him work. Taking his axe, he kills both the cow and sheep, and starts up a campfire to cook their meat. After eating them, he notices that the leather from the cow would make a good blanket, while the wool from the sheep could be a mattress. With these, he constructs a bed and almost finishes his house. He had been working all day, and was forced to retire to bed, however, during the night, zombies began to dig their way through his dirt floor, penetrating his house and trying to attack. Using his axe, he defends himself from the zombies and clears his house, realizing that he needs a floor, he stays up the remainder of the night cutting down trees, fighting zombies, and laying down wood under his house to act as a floor. | ||
In the morning, his axe has broken, and he realizes that he needs to start gathering stronger materials as well as a place to construct items easier. Taking some wood, he fashions a workbench for himself, and constructs a door to his house. Then, he makes a pickaxe, and goes outside to start a mine alongside his house. | In the morning, his axe has broken, and he realizes that he needs to start gathering stronger materials as well as a place to construct items easier.

Plans for sequels were made immediately after the success of the film, and came in the form of ''Meine Kraft Nach'' (2007) and that film's sequel, ''Meine Kraft Nach 2'' (2009). Both films were successful, and a spin-off, ''Meine Kraft Crona'', released in 2012, but critics complained that ''Meine Kraft Crona'' was too much of cash grab, and didn't feature any of the excitement of the first film, romance of the second, or the political turmoil of the third. After it's failure, Kino der Todrein announced it would not make any more films, but sold two video games based off of the films; ''Meine Kraft Verlies'' (2013) and ''Meine Kraft Lengenden'' (2016), both of which reached heights of popularity and were acclaimed for survival and combat. Since the last release two decades ago, a third game has been discussed to be in development. | Plans for sequels were made immediately after the success of the film, and came in the form of ''Meine Kraft Nach'' (2007) and that film's sequel, ''Meine Kraft Nach 2'' (2009).
