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'

There was a deep silence in the midst of the crowd. Ayaka and Kazuichi looked at each other as if they weren't going to get defeated. Seeing their reactions, Hinokami greedily raised his hand for the last bid.


"Three hundred and fifty million!" He screamed.


One of his subordinates looked at him with eyes almost bulging out of his sockets. "Sir! You can't do this. We won't have enough money for..." The subordinates let out a hint of panic. He couldn't believe that their stronghold leader once again fell for Kazuichi's tricks.


At the back of his mind, the subordinates hoped that Kazuichi or Ayaka would bid an even higher number. He didn't care whether it was a couple hundred thousand or so... he was just hoping that Hinokami wouldn't burn more money than he could afford.


Meanwhile, Hinokami also hoped that one of them would bid again. He got overly excited once again, and when it came to auctions, that was always a bad idea.
