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'

"You're leaving?" Kazuichi yawned as he slowly dragged his entire body to his living room couch. The sun was yet to rise, that's why he felt a little bit sluggish.

Well, Kazuichi had always felt sluggish. It's just that these last few days he had reverted into an evident version of his shut-in self. Of course, why wouldn't he when he was in the comfort of his own home?

"Yeah, I need to return to my stronghold. My vacation's running due. Besides, it would be bad if something happened while I was gone."

From the second floor, a click was heard, followed by a soft pitter-patter of footsteps scaling the flight of stairs.

Another yawn was heard, then Amaya appeared on the scene, sleepwalking towards Ayaka before collapsing on her stomach.

With a sigh, Amaya returned to sleep, hugging Ayaka as she did so.
