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.

The Final Line Of Defense

The quiet moments after the battle were always strange, like the calm before another inevitable storm. As Kazuichi and the others made their way back to Hybrid Mountain, a tension hung in the air. They had won, or at least they thought they had, but something gnawed at the back of his mind. He had seen the massive Omega Zombie fall, its body collapsing in a heap of destruction. But that unease didn't fade. He couldn't shake the sense that this fight wasn't over.

As they neared the stronghold, the air grew thick with an oppressive heat. Smoke began to curl through the trees, rising into the sky like dark clouds, a warning of something far worse to come. Kazuichi's heart dropped, his instincts screaming that something had gone wrong. His gaze darted to Ayaka, who met his look with a grim nod. The others felt it too.

Jurou's voice broke the silence. "That's not normal. The stronghold's too far off for there to be smoke like this. Something's happening."
