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 Second Literal Shut-In, Left For Dead, Oikawa Reshiru

"Dements... that's what we're called." Ayaka cut right to the chase. "We belong to the fourth Hybrid type which is more resilient and balanced compared to the other three. However, this gives us a short fuse, a fitting exchange for our power, if I may say."

"No one knows about this, only a handful of people. The only reason why I started looking into this topic was after meeting Kazuichi. I thought I was the only one but as it turned out... there's a handful of us." Ayaka then jerked a thumb at Suzu and the lady on the gurney. "Who would've thought that four of us would gather in the same room though? In any case, that's the general gist of it."

"Ayaka, have you ever been bitten by other Hybrids? I thought that one bite from a different type would increase the chances of becoming a mindless infected." Tris asked since she clearly recalled Kazuichi being bitten by two different types on two different occasions.
