Post-apocalyptic

Ah! Aythryn City. Truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something. 

Then enter me: a poor thief turned investigator just to make enough for end’s meet. Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go down. Now though? Now I’m caught in several shit storms between stealing from one of the Big 7 to a weird interface telling me what to do. I just hope I can survive long enough to get out of this cursed city with enough Rayn to make a better life.

Outrun will be a long run, heh, with plenty of post-apocalyptic/cyberpunk world building sprinkled in.

Lucas Grey was an orphaned child, raised by his army veteran grandfather after his parents and older brother were taken from him by a drunk-driver while he was too young to even be able to spell his own name. His roughneck grandfather made it his mission to teach Lucas whatever he could; survival skills, self-defensive combat, basic automotive maintenance, and, most importantly, how to be a good man. Lucas has two goals in life, make his grandfather proud and have a happy family with lots of children. Then the unthinkable suddenly crashed into reality. The first bombs fell while he was driving home from university, erasing the mountains on the horizon and sending a wave of fiery annihilation racing his direction. A searing white flash is the last experience of Lucas’ short life. Then the pain begins. A post-apocalyptic survival harem 300 years after the collapse of civilization. The women are fierce, the wildlife is monstrous, and life is brutal. More importantly, the men are scarce, being only 10% of the known population.

NOTE: There will be smut as the story progresses, but all adult content depicted will be consensual and absolutely no NTR. Relationships will primarily be romantic and long-term. MC will be an adult mentally, but his teenage hormones will affect his better judgement sometimes. This story is written with a clear ending in mind, but reader input may lead to alterations in the process of reaching that end.
