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.

Eating A Meteorite Ore

Kazuichi's victory over the Gigantic Omega Zombie was thunderous. The earth trembled beneath the weight of its fallen corpse, a monstrous hulk that lay still at last. Around him, the battle raged on, but for a fleeting moment, the sight of Kazuichi standing victorious with his blood-stained blade drew the attention of friend and foe alike. He felt the familiar surge of power coursing through him, but he knew that this was just the beginning.

His gaze fell upon the meteorite ore lying beside the zombie's body—a chunk so massive it matched his own height in sheer size and weight. Its dark, iridescent surface glowed faintly, the veins of power shimmering with an unearthly light. This was no ordinary prize. If he could absorb its essence, it would grant him a strength he could only dream of. But Kazuichi's vision was clear: he was prepared to push his limits to break this endless cycle of war.
