Author here, I got some bad news for anyone who wants to get into this series. This is not meant to be anything but the flimsiest of hobbies for me to unleash some creative juices. I like to think of stories in my head but I cant write them down quick enough or competently enough to be satisfied as an author. As such there will not be any regular updates to this. Maybe you will get a chapter every week, maybe there will be years between, I dont know.

Furthermore this is just based on taking a concept and running with it. I have no plans for a story arch beyond a few planned encounters and set pieces. If this story somehow actually becomes something I will go back and re-write it with a better vision of what it should be. Take this as the rambling scribbles that they are and nothing more.

In regards to the content warnings I do not intend to write about any hanky panky simply because I am really bad at it but I intend to keep both strong language and gore open simply because I want to be able to add it without feeling restricted and not because I actually intend to aim towards that type of content. <<less

Unrelated stories at first, but they'll come together later.

Edit 1: Changing a few things for consistency later in the story
Edit 2: Strong language cuz I want more freedom with word choices, gore cuz there might be some in the future.
Inconsistent schedule cause I write this for fun.
Edit 3: Hey future me here, just wanna say this writing style is fucking cringey.
Once again, I don't own the cover art. <<less

Essentially this is a spinoff of Mapleshade's Vengeance because that was just tragic and I liked the idea of exploring how afterlives worked. I wanted to explore the idea of a character finding their way into StarClan, a *nice* afterlife, after they ended up in the Dark Forest first. I realise that later Warriors books *have* said that there can be a court to decide who gets into StarClan but respectfully that's boring and my idea's better.
All characters are original save for Thistleclaw, Whitestorm and Bluestar who only crop up as minor characters, and this story takes place in an original Warriors spinoff world that is detailed more on https://warriors-diversity-roleplay.fandom.com/ <<less

After a decade of reconstruction Flammin had gone through to become as powerful as those who destroyed her home, the Relic Queen Nike takes the former living paintbrush to complete the final stages of her training: flying. For a small moment, Flammin had an epiphany of Nike, the divine living trident and mentor who bonded with her throughout the rigors of her transformation into what she is now.

This short story is part of my worldbuilding xenofiction project, World of Relics. This project encompasses a world of living objects and relics that came to rise shortly after the Inversion Event, an event that killed both mortals and their gods, stole their souls, and remade them into living objects. You can see more about this project here: worldofrelics.carrd.co

Since this is the first story I published online, critique is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Note: Must read to set your expectations
-There will be NO harem and NO echi. This is NOT a horny teen story.(Period)
-Characters here can and may have mental breakdowns and they can or may get themselves into pathetic situations where they just want to cry in the corner. And no, they are not cool edgy characters, they are people with emotions and feelings and can feel hopelessness and pain.
-This is NOT a story about human supremacy and ego. This is a story that avoid as much ego about human supremacy above other creatures.
-This story have humans as A PART of the ecosystem and not rulers of it.
-Humans will soon turn into monsters.
-NO humanoid monsters.
-NO nonsensical fanservice sexy monsters.
-NO human-like monsters intelligence because being intelligent is not a privilege of humans and being intelligent doesn't mean thinking the same way as humans.
-Lastly. NO things like 'Lions are rulers' and things like that. You will never find lions being rulers here or wolves being really strong. This is about an alien ecosystem, not an earthly one. Don't think a pride of lions or a tiger can kill a heavily armoured tentacle abomination. <<less

In a mess of flashing lights and blaring alarms, an entity enters a portal to another world.This new world was different from their old one, with its blue skies and floating islands.... more>>

One thing led to another, and the entity became the companion of an adventurer. It lived a laid-back life as it traveled two new worlds and learned the beauty of it all.

But everything has to end.

Beasts meant for grey soil and yellow skies, objects with strange properties, men as broken as the world they came from, and life that was not alive.
When the old meets the new, people get hurt.
When the broken meets the fixed, destruction follows.
And when the flames of cataclysm rise once more, something new may rise from the ashes.
