Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion

Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives.

Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction.

One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door.

And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

Shut-In Of The 'Dead'

Resembling the first auction that Kazuichi had unintentionally attended, this auction happening in Yamanashi Prefecture would also be held underground. Shig briefly informed them about the auction, but aside from it happening once a month, Shig didn't tell them much about it.


In a sense, Shig was subconsciously withholding information from Kazuichi and Tris. Even though they had traveled to the Yamanashi Prefecture together and even shared a meal, the two of them were still distant in the eyes of Shig. Moreover, he didn't want to accidentally tell them about the mysterious blood, so he couldn't be specific about his information.


Instead of going forward and entering the auction willy-nilly, Kazuichi advised that they stand their ground first and observe from afar. Although this was an auction and endangering someone's life was frowned upon due to notable guests, Kazuichi knew that cautiousness is the next best thing when it comes to preventing trouble.
