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 Labs and the Huge Meteor

Later that evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the stronghold in a soft orange glow, the group gathered in a secluded corner of the training grounds. The air was cool, the wind whispering through the trees, carrying with it the scent of pine and earth. It was a peaceful setting, a stark contrast to the tension that hung in the air.

Kazuichi leaned against a tree, his arms crossed over his chest as he addressed the group. "We need a plan. If we're going to find out more about the meteorite, we have to be smart about it. We can't just go snooping around and hope we don't get caught."

Jurou nodded, his expression serious. "We need to figure out where they're keeping it. It's got to be somewhere secure, somewhere they can monitor it closely."

Arisu looked thoughtful. "The labs, maybe? They've always been off-limits to trainees, but I've heard rumors that they're conducting all sorts of experiments down there."
