Solitude

In the midst of swirling possibilities, a question lingered in the air like an unspoken promise: "If you were given the chance to reset the beginning, what path would you tread?" Option One: To revel in the simple joys of life, finding solace in the embrace of solitude, for the paper-thin figure is the epitome of true love. Option Two: To journey into the realm of cultivation, seeking the secrets of immortality, striving to become a legendary sword immortal. Option Three: To immerse oneself in the world of martial arts, carving out a path as an unparalleled grandmaster, destined to reign supreme over all sects. Option Four: To traverse the realms of fantasy, experiencing rebirth as a formidable entity, ascending once more to the pinnacle as a divine sovereign. Option Five: To venture into the dark realms, mastering the arts of sorcery as the esteemed leader of the demonic sect. Option Six: To ascend the throne and rule over all, commanding an empire in the realm of fantasy, for in the divine dynasty, the desire to reign as emperor burns brightest.

Chu Yuan retorted, his resolve unyielding. Silence greeted his response, an acknowledgment of his unwavering determination. "Congratulations, host, on selecting Option Six: to reign over all, in the divine dynasty of the supreme emperor." [Divine Destiny Selection System is launching...]

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.

But when a mysterious letter arrives at his cabin—telling him to “Meet me where the fireflies dance”—Jack’s curiosity gets the best of him, pulling him out of his solitude and into a strange encounter he never could have anticipated.

"You're the one who kicked our butts, aren't you?" "This.... is not the time for that. Can't you see I'm in a tight spot here,"he replied, jumping around, trying to dodge Athena's relentless attacks. Thanks to his speed and jump boost, he was a little fast otherwise without them, he would have been toast a long time ago. " "I didn't know you were utterly stupid. For someone who tamed a red dragon alone, l gotta say, I'm disappointed,"Sharia mocked, folding her hands below her chest as she watched Flynn struggling to save his butt. "Would you shut the fuck up? As a matter of fact, l tried using the taming spell on her but it wouldn't work. So come and help me take her down, since you look confident in your skills." "And why the fuvk would l help you. The last time l checked, you guys defeated us, stole my dragon, and then kicked me into prison. So why the hell would you think I'll waste my precious time saving y'all." "You look too beautiful to be cold hearted, princess Sharia. I want to take you out on a date after this, but l won't be able to do that if you let me get killed by a werewolf in front of your eyes." Her cheeks turned red, but she quickly put on a straight face. "I ain't going on a date with a cute prince of the kingdom of our enemies, so forget it." Prince Flynn smirked. "Ngh... so you think I'm cute?" "I didn't say that dammit...shit, look out." Before he could react, the werewolf striked him across his face with a thunderous slash that sent him flying across the room. "Flynn! Are you okay? She asked, but he couldn't respond. In that moment, her eyes turned silver together with her hair, and her expression turned into anger!" "Now you've done it, dog. I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!"
