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.

Preparation

Silence cloaked the stronghold like a heavy shroud as Kazuichi walked through the gates, each step slow and deliberate. His mind raced, thoughts spiraling as he tried to piece together a plan, but every solution seemed to slip away like sand through his fingers. The battle against the mindless Hybrids had left him shaken. For the first time in a long while, Kazuichi felt truly uncertain about what to do next. They needed to prepare—that much was clear—but against an enemy that had evolved beyond mindlessness, could they even stand a chance?

Tension lingered in the air as he passed by fellow Hybrids, their faces etched with concern. Whispers followed his wake, hushed conversations filled with worry. Normally, Kazuichi carried himself with unshakable confidence, but today, his troubled expression betrayed his inner turmoil. Despite their shared anxiety, none dared to ask him what had happened. No one wanted to press him for answers—not yet.
