This is fanfiction story of Power vacuum. An adult visual novel by What?Why?Games on patreon. The original work involves incest, manipulation, impregnation and skippable NTR. This is the story of Sterling who tries to save his loved ones from falling for a devious, monstrous creature that ever stepped foot on media. It's his grandfather Hunter. I recommend you to play the original visual novel. It's the funniest visual novel I've read. Here the lik to the original game: https://patreon.com/whatwhygames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_link The original story has NTR (skippable) as non canonical part of the game. Which means that you can see the outcome of NTR choices but they don't happen in the main story. You get to sabotage the Ugly bastard's plan and watch him fail where you conquer. My take on this fan fiction is to make some changes in some of the character's personality. Also I'm resurrecting his dead father David. I want to make the NTR part skippable here but in novel system, that's going to be a issue. So, the story will be divided into three volumes. These three volumes aren't connected to each other so the readers can read what they like and skip the others. 1. Harem: MC gets a Harem and takes revenge on his father too who made his life miserable along with hunter. Here the MC is buff and well trained fighter from rhe beginning. He can go toe to toe with Hunter who has simple but efficient fighting skills. 2. Netorare: I'm going to make some of the NTR elements as Canon to move forward in way that would make sense. 3. Netorase: MC and his enemies have equal advantage in this volume.

The novel follows the twists and turns of revenge, lust and the developments of two members of a Spec Ops squad surviving a Zombie apocalypse. Mick cn (Iron Mouse) is Vice Team Leader of the Iron Hounds Katarina cn (Iron Snake) is Team Leader of the Iron Hounds, a squad specialized in tracking, retrieving and extracting high priority targets from dangerous situations. The story begins with a mission to retrieve an influential VIP trapped in a high rise during the spread of the apocalypse Author here, Im trying my hand at combining my favourite genre (Zombies) with Dark Romance I intend to include vigorously detailed R-18 scenes inspired by my current partner in crime who is an avid reader of the Romance genre. I need to read up on Webnovels rules regarding those so a lot of the scenes might have to get cut from the Webnovel version but if the Novel is successful I have plans to publish uncut chapters in the future. (I intend to try to release about a chapter daily and I have a rough draft of the story built up around the previously mentioned R18 scenes the only real work is fleshing it all out Chapter 1-3 have complete outlines, and I intend for the whole novel to be a similar length as most paperback books, so it might not quite extend as far as most novels on Webnovel however I do have ideas for further volumes depending on success and my own attention span in regards to the story.)
