The world ended suddenly, but Jaehyeon was already locked inside his home by choice. When disaster struck, his curse—being unable to leave his apartment—turned into the one thing that kept him alive. Monsters roam the streets, but Jaehyeon’s apartment becomes a fortress thanks to strange system abilities that awaken in him.
Backed into a corner, Jaehyeon begins to evolve. He forms connections with neighbors, installs traps, and uncovers truths about the event that turned the world into a nightmare. His introversion becomes his armor, and isolation turns into strategy. But as more people seek refuge and food grows scarce, the real threat may come from within.
Plot of The Ultimate Shut-In
Chapter 26 may bring a new level of chaos inside the building. A stranger who knows about the system might breach Jaehyeon’s sanctuary, claiming to be a survivor from another complex. Their knowledge could rival Jaehyeon’s, creating tension about trust and dominance.
This chapter may also go into Jaehyeon’s internal struggle. While he wants to protect his family, the loneliness and pressure of leadership may weigh on him. An unexpected betrayal could shatter the delicate balance he’s maintained within the building’s survivors.
An underground section or a sealed storage area might be revealed, possibly holding rations, weapons, or even another survivor who’s been in stasis. These elements would add layers to the worldbuilding, showing how much was planned before the apocalypse.
As threats evolve, so do the monsters outside. Chapter 26 may introduce a mutated beast capable of adapting to building defenses. The line between staying hidden and making a stand might begin to blur for Jaehyeon.
