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'

As soon as Kazuichi nodded his head, Ayaka clapped her hands together, her eyes smiling.

"I'll tell you what," Ayaka said, a spark of challenge in her eyes. "We'll discuss everything tomorrow. But first, let's hold some practice sparring sessions over the next few days. Lea, you look strong. I'd like to test your mettle."

"I'd be honored," Lea straightened, surprised but not intimidated.

Kazuichi and Arisu exchanged glances. They had never seen Ayaka in combat, and this would be an opportunity to witness her skills firsthand. Also, if they were going to hold practice sparring sessions, then that means they get to fight each other as well.

"You know what, that's a great idea, Ayaka, I've never seen you in combat before." Kazuichi said, standing up. "Tomorrow, we'll start with a sparring session between Arisu and me. We'll all get a chance to show what we can do."
