Honkai: Star Rail: Mr. Blacksoil of Penacony

(Original setting + multiple heroines + mastermind behind the scenes + villain protagonist + rather cold-blooded)

(Slice of life, slow burn, nearly invincible protagonist. The early plot will focus more on Firefly and the Corporation. The first map is an entirely original setting, so feel free to skip ahead to after Chapter 14 for the Space Station main storyline if it’s not your thing.)

How far must a person travel

before they can find their way back to who they were at the beginning, at the end of time...

Fang Yuan, a visitor from beyond the stars, only wanted to live a peaceful life with his younger siblings. But when an Aeon set its sights on the “Origin Stream” in his possession, he had no choice but to flee beyond the borders.

After striking a deal with the [Clockmaker], this weak, helpless, and pitiful little group finally put down roots in Penacony.

Bai Ye, the kind-hearted bookstore owner; Boss Han, the affable messenger in yellow; and Mr. Heitu of the Dollhouse, Penacony’s most generous man.

“Brother, I...”

“Stay home and wait for me. I’ll be gone for two days.”

One day, he accidentally discovers that his younger sister Firefly has contracted the so-called “Entropy Loss Syndrome.”

Should he hold her and weep, or remain forever immersed in Penacony’s dream?

Why not try researching an Emanator of Abundance?

(The setting and background aren’t very rigorous. In a sense, it’s an original spin-off setting. You can just read it for fun. There’s no heartbreak, though it may feel a little bleak.)
