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'

<p>The group continued their trek back to the stronghold, the dawn's first light casting long shadows across the battered landscape. The remnants of the storm lingered in the air, a cold, damp chill that seeped into their bones and reminded them of the ordeal they had just survived. But as the clouds dispersed, revealing a sky slowly brightening with the promise of a new day, the Hybrids found themselves more focused on the questions left unanswered than on the relief of having survived the night.</p>

<p>Kazuichi walked in silence, his mind racing with thoughts he couldn't quite pin down. The storm had been no ordinary trial—it had been an experiment, a controlled display of power that left him uneasy. The Hybrid Mountain Stronghold had always been shrouded in mystery, but now it felt as though the very ground beneath them was shifting, revealing cracks in the foundation that no one had dared to look at before.</p>
