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.

Training For Meteorite Absorption

Kazuichi and Himeno decided to separate during their hunts before they tackled the nest of Aberrants or Omega Zombies. And after a couple of hours, the two of them meet up on their usual spot once again. 

The air in Sector 12 hung thick with a heavy stillness, broken only by the faint hum of distant machinery and the occasional rustling of debris beneath Kazuichi's boots. The sector had become his hunting ground, a place where his powers could be tested and honed. Today, though, it would be something more. Himeno would be joining him, and they had a new mission: absorbing the virus from the meteorite ores he had collected.

Kazuichi's sharp eyes scanned the crumbling industrial landscape ahead as he spotted her waiting in the distance. Himeno stood near an old warehouse, arms crossed and a curious glint in her eyes. She had been expecting him, but not for this.
