Shut-In Of The 'Dead'

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.

A Threat To The Hybrid Mountain Stronghold

The trek back to Hybrid Mountain Stronghold began as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged terrain. The group moved with a mixture of exhaustion and relief, their bodies battered but their spirits high. The promise of rest and the satisfaction of their hard-earned victory guided their steps.

Along the way, the conversation turned to the enigmatic development in Kazuichi's abilities. The newfound powers of water and lightning had sparked a flurry of questions and speculations among his friends. The additional abilities were unexpected, even to Kazuichi himself, who had yet to fully grasp the extent of his control over them.

"So, Kazuichi," Ayaka began, her gaze shifting between the road ahead and her friend. "Since when did you have water and lightning powers? We've seen your Hybrid abilities in action, but this is new."
