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 an uproar after Shig excused himself, but he didn't bother listening in to what it was. Instead, he really cooked rice for everyone.


More than an hour later, the blood transfusion for both patients was done, and Kazuichi couldn't feel any better. He was dizzy, and the loss of blood just added to his discomfort. He felt light-headed, and no amount of food helped him.


"Once again, thank you so much. I'm glad that I waited in the middle of the city." Shig exhaled. His younger sister was already feeling better, and her injuries were slowly healing thanks to her normalized regeneration.


Suzu also bowed her head and thanked Kazuichi on her bed. Although she tried so hard to sit down and bow her head towards Kazuichi, she just couldn't do it. Then again, Kazuichi wouldn't want her to overextend, that's why he assured her that her thanks were more than enough.
