The invasion caused massive land shifts, destroying continents and contaminating the atmosphere with radiation and pestilence. Survivors now live in domed cities called Fortresses, protected from the horrors outside. To fight back, humans developed the Knight Program, harnessing a mysterious energy source that emerged during the First Invasion. This program produces super-powered soldiers, known as Knights, who are humanity's last hope against the Elder Gods. *** .Enter Huey Blade, the last heir of a ruined sword family and a returnee swordsman in a post-apocalyptic Earth. Insensitive, narcissistic, and possibly sociopathic, Huey was transmigrated to a world of Red and Decay, struggling every second to survive. After decades, Huey finally returns home, only to find Earth devastated and his family long gone. Now, as a not-so-human swordsman, he must navigate this fallen world, as a Swordsman in the apocalypse, and humanity's public enemy number two! ... "What?! No call of duty?!" ... Other name: Returnee Swordsman in the Apocalypse ––STONE GOALS–– 50 Golden Tickets = One extra chapter 100 power stones = One Extra Chapter 100 Golden Tickets = Two Extra Chapters 200 power stones = Two Extra Chapters ––STONE GOALS–– NOTE, 50 Golden tickets are also equivalent to 100 powerstones. but if there's 50 tickets, and 100 powerstones at the same time, then there'll be two extra chapters regardless to keep up with the goal. So for every 50 tickets or 100 powerstones, there'll be one extra chapter. For now. this may be revised later in the future as things progress.

Novel Timeline Explained

This auxiliary chapter will be used to revise and address the timeline and dates of the novel for future references, and to avoid inconsistencies.

I've been meaning to do this in a while because there are some really important aspects concerning the dates and timeline. I've only finally pushed myself to do so now, thanks to @ElusivBucket for pointing it out!

So, on to it then.

Beginning of the timeline is the year 2024. As of this moment, Huey Blade is 13 years old and on his way to begrudgingly begin his Family tradition.

He spends ten years traveling the world and decides to return by the tenth year.

Ten years later (2034): Huey is 23 and decides to return home. On the same day, he is spirited away to an alternate dimension, only to return over seventy years in the future

Same year (2034): Humanity discover the first washed up corpse of an Elder God (coincidence?)

Humanity flourishes for the next twenty years after that, until things escalate.

The year 2054* (this was revised in the original chapter 2): The First Invasion took place and world fell. No signs of Huey.

Seventy years later (2124)* (this was revised in the original chapter 2 thanks to @ElusiveBucket): Huey returns, and the story takes place from hence.

POINTS TO NOTE.

— Huey is over a hundred plus. 113 years to be precise.

— Humanity only flourished for twenty years before the Invasion.

— There were a number of more invasion after the first, but the First Invasion was the most notable.

— Huey spent 10 years traveling the world on the ritual. Started at 13, ended at 23 years old.

— Huey was transported to an alternate dimension of red and decay. Basically where the Elder God's are from.

— RED: Swordsman in the Apocalypse officially takes place almost 100 years in the future, taking into account the ten years Huey spent traveling the world. But only the last seventy years are mostly addressed in the novel.

— EXTRA POINT. There's a story to that too, but it'll only be prequel or side story to RED, if I can complete it. It'll explore the ten years of Huey's ritual, and a portion of the time he spent in the Red World.

And if there's anything else, it'll be added to this segment. You can also use this chapter as a Q&A means for the meantime (still no discord).

Oh, and please, help me point out anymore and inconsistencies if they a noticed through the story. I'd like to address them to the best of my abilities.
