《Tartarus- A Prison Odyssey》Prologue- The Greatest Prison
Advertisement
A young child, only five years of age, sat, watching intently at the television screen in front of him. On the hologram screen was an aerial view of the largest creation of man, not counting massive cities…
The walls of Tartarus… a super prison the size of a country, holding the worst of humanity, and on the television was a frozen image of the massive walls.
Rapists, murderers, arsonists, mobsters, thieves… if their crimes were enough, they were sent inside, never to leave again for the rest of their lives.
It had stood for 43 years, building started in 2010 and finished in 2020, the huge walls were a testament to the ingenuity of the men of past…
And all the boy could think, staring at the massive walls… was that he wanted to stand atop them.
To see what no one else could see, to stand at the border between eternal damnation, and freedom, and see all that could be seen from that point…
Of course, a normal child wouldn’t have such contemplative thoughts… then again… the intelligence of the child watching the television was much different from those of his peers in school, even during the year 2063.
The child frowned as he heard the arguing voices of his parents, panicked and hostile, even to each other, as the child sighed… it seemed they would be moving once more…
He never understood the need to move the way they did, nor did he understand why his parents seemed so strange even when they were ‘merely’ lock-smiths… not that he believed their claim.
No lock-smith, even the best in the world, would be able to live in comfort like his family did, nor would they need to constantly run from something… what it was, the child didn’t know, all he knew was that his parents were scared. He had heard whispers of fear caused by someone with white hair and red eyes…

The child frowned as he finally heard something like a slap as he stood, feeling some emotional turmoil as he considered his options… then walked to the sound of his parents shouting.
Aaron Hassan had made his choice… and it would affect everything… and little did he know it, his choice was more than just what he would do in this moment…
No, his choice had determined what his dream would be.
He would see that view, the view which no man had seen, beyond the images of cameras.
The view that could be seen atop the Walls of Tartarus…

With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield. With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further. Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm. Chapters are posted every other day at 11am and pm (gmt).Basically just selecting Gore and Traumatising Content to cover myself, profanity is guaranteed though.

the hero, the villain,and the profiteer
...*ahem*.... I have been on the site for a while and I have wanted to make my own piece of literature for this site so I'm going to do it here is what I will be making as my first one. Honestly the thought just popped into my head yesterday I rather enjoy several different kinds of stories on the site, so I found a way to do a little bit of each. I myself am a high-functioning autistic but that's only shows in my writing for the most part they look will be the occasional grammar mistake and missing apostrophes and periods I'm also using a speech to text feature on my computer that will occasionally slip up. Now for the synopsis of the story: your standard reincarnation seventh hero type deal but there is a little..... Slip up: parts of the person fractals creating several people;; A great-hearted hero, a savvy traveling merchant, and a sadist curious dungeon Lord. Critiques and people reading this is appreciated, I mostly just doing this for fun. And because this is somewhat important for some reason the cover art is not made by me I just got it from search engine. It also may change over time. im mostly following the dl becouse...i don't know.
