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?

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.)
