'What is my purpose?' He thought as he gazed at the carnage that surrounded him. With every step he takes countless perish, with every action countless mourn.

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.

(some chapters are r18) Who would have thought that holding an arranged marriage benefits me so much? I have been planning to get out of my own family, and thanks to the head lady of the house who always wanted to kick me out after my mother passed away. "I have to live with you? I don't want to be under any other people's rules anymore." "No, you will live freely as you want. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to." "I don't want to be involved with your business...I don't know exactly what you do, Mr. Kaiza, but I don't want to be involved with anything like my father does." "I understand." I pick up the glass in front of him and try to raise it, but he puts his hand on it to cover the top of the glass. "Hmph." I make a sound and pout my lips I put my upper lip on top of the glass, touching his finger and bottom lip at the outside edge, and raise the glass as the liquid runs through his fingers into my mouth. And I look at him. His eyes are slightly startled, but I barely see it through the red light on him. He slightly pulls back his hand. "This girl..." He's mumbling. I lick the liquid on the edge of my mouth. "Yes, it's a deal." "Are you going to treat me well, Mr. Kaiza?" I speak vocally this time. What is this drink? "Yes." "Treat me nicely like your real fiancé, alright?" Suddenly, my head is too heavy to carry on my neck. He uses his hand to hold my face before I hit the table. And he moves himself to sit next to me. "You are my real fiancé." He gently touches my hair and puts it behind my ear. I barely open my eyes. "But first of all, I need to take care of the guys who kidnapped you here." And that is just the beginning of a significant change.
