The Defiled Expanse

The Defiled Expanse

After nearly a decade of suffering on Revonance Grant finally returns home. The trials and tribulations that Grant faced on Revonance destroyed the happy young man he once was and forged him into an untrusting savage brute of a man. Having finally earned the right to return home, Grant had hoped to redeem himself and live out the rest of his days peacefully. But things rarely go the way we dream and Grant quickly discovers that things are far from over. Earths inhabitants are suddenly thrust into the gods and goddesses sadistic games for nothing more than their own entertainment when they find themselves in The Defiled Expanse. Can the experience he gained and the situations he faced on Revonance, help him to protect the ones he loves? Or will he face the same agony and despair as before? Follow Grant on his journey as he fights and kills his way to the peak. Will he be able to enact the vengeance that he seeks or will he fall short on his journey? Tags: Overpower MC, Harem (Not traditional: explained below), Kingdom building, Game elements, Fantasy, War, Betrayal, Face Slapping (Others not Grants), Redemption, Game Elements, System. ---------- A/N (Sorry It's a lot of information but I want to get it out of the way): This is more of an anti-hero story than anything. Grant's personality is chaotic and undefined for the most part. After years of suffering he has become selfish and egocentric so he will focus only on the things he cares about and what it takes to protect them. #1 question I always get asked when I write stories is: will this be harem, solo love interest, or no love at all? Answer: Most likely harem. But not a traditional harem because Grant has become so emotionally distant that it is difficult for people to truly break through to his 'heart'. Maybe late into the story one or a few will succeed, but you'll have to read to find out. I also plan on adding R18 chapters when they feel appropriate. They will not in any way dominate the story so don't expect them to be every other chapter. Probably spaced out over 10-20+ chapters depending on where we are in the story. I welcome criticism, comments, questions, concerns, etc. I am doing this because I enjoy writing and I want to provide the best story possible to my readers so do not hesitate to comment. I will answer all of your questions and comments as quickly as I can. I'm aiming for two chapters a day but I have a full time job and a family to take care of so some days it may only be one. I will set goals for power stones and, if ultimately contracted, I will also add goals for gifts / golden tickets, which will of course result in more chapters. (Contract is probably a long way off, if at all, since this is a new account and their is no precedence for it set with this account. I will never personally request a contract and will only consider it if it's offered directly too me so it's even less likely. So enjoy the free reading and I hope you like the story!) (Don't ask about my other stories, I don't like to promote between them because I want my stories to stand on their own two feet.)

Long ago, precisely 124 Duo-Septuaginta-Sescentillion (or 1.24 × 10 ^ [to the power of] 2021) years ago, a magical researcher hoped to survive the big collapse. Anything with a start has an end. Matter can not be created nor destroyed. Through deductive reasoning, it is believed that the universe has an infinite cycle of big bangs and collapses. A scholar extended his life using a self created immortal technique. Immortals have always dreamed of godhood, and if there ever was a god; they would have merely been someone who can survive one universe's death and live in the next. No more, no less. How many times have the universe experienced this big bang though? I, the author, personally think time is infinite and has always been. However, If it was possible, wouldn't the universe be covered in gods from the infinite amount of time that has already passed? Becoming a god is impossible. Living forever is impossible. However, what about an idea or information? The once simple scholar had a dream to live forever, however, it changed. The magical researcher's idea was to transmit knowledge to the other side of the abyss. One might think that the simple scholar was now a philosopher questioning life, but the law of parsimony simply says '*The simplest explanation is usually the right one*'. --- A/N: I have been brain storming and writing the premise of this story for about 5 days on my computer. I decided I would post some chapters online, and saw a tycoon contest going while I was inputting my story into the Inkstone system. I decided to change gears and intent of my story from a empire building story into a more tycoon focused one. Ended up re-writing before I uploaded this story. I think it will end up more realistic this way after thinking of the competition others who want to build an empire and what not. It will be profits first. Empires need to crush competition for a monopoly, but my end goal is now a tycoon who only cares for profits and not the territory outside the fence or border of his domain. The vetted interests in a tycoon are different from a mayor or emperor. You could say there are similarities to an empire and a tycoon, but the goal and focus are different. If an emperor runs out of space, he needs to conquer and care about respect and his people. A tycoon can just build up and down and layer things as they please. All tycoon construction is done through a controlled and planned economy, while an empire typically uses a branching distribution approach. Growth is usually organic or independently controlled from branching units or power in empires. Nothing stops the tycoon, not when you have a tycoon that invades all fronts, even the monster and alien economies. Everyone is a target, even bugs have meat to eat, and all intellectual creatures will be an audience in the tycoon's targeted ad campaign.

In a way, they have some similarities, but overall, Telltale games are more like interactive story-driven adventures rather than traditional visual novels. They often focus on action and quick decision-making rather than the text-heavy and static nature of visual novels.
