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.

Death And Vengeance

Dark clouds loomed overhead as the final touches were made to fortify the walls of the Kazuichi Stronghold. Every Hybrid inside the settlement moved with purpose, driven by the urgency that had been drilled into them since the mindless horde became a looming threat. Metallic clangs echoed as defenses were reinforced, and the air crackled with a sense of readiness.

For the past several days, Ryuunosuke's guidance had been invaluable. Under his watchful eye, many of the Hybrids were able to unlock their elemental affinities, powers that had been dormant within them for far too long. Elements like fire, wind, and earth surged from their very souls as they trained relentlessly. Kazuichi had already mastered his water and lightning elements, but he couldn't help but feel pride in seeing his comrades gain the power they needed to defend their home.

This was it. The stronghold was prepared. They were ready.
