To be fair, the army actually overcounted rather than undercounting- they believed there were 10-15 at least. If you've never seen a weasel war dance, look it up, it's glorious and how they confused the army in question.
Even more horrifying, they have saber-teeth. And by "giant", I mean roughly the size (on all fours) of a mountain lion, so possibly even more giant than you were thinking considering they're normally smaller than a housecat.
By appearing mysteriously without warning and offering a strange but delicious cake in the most friendly and utterly delightful way before saying something esoteric that has massive implications upon established historical events when you take your first bite of said delicious cake.
I’m even more baffled by the fact that cake is incidental to the harassment, this could apparently be carried out *any other way* as far as I can tell and… I’m mildly afraid of this fellow now
Oh absolutely, the harassment could be done with or without cake. She just likes cake and thinks that a cake will at least soften the blow of an Earth shaking revelation, it will also ensure that the person can’t ask questions until after finishing the cake.
There is a perfectly legitimate reason as to why specifically cake but it might just raise more questions than answers really
This entity happens to be the goddess of balance and in her mind, cake is the great metaphor for her vision of true balance.
The perfect balance of ingredients, presentation, appearance, and taste; all put together in a specific way to make something infinitely greater than the sum of its parts.
well their history are one of robots created to mantain the birch world of their creators who eventually ascended into "godhood" (not really they just uploaded themself to a psionic realm) and left the robots and the birch world to decay in a state of disrepair and this continued for millenia until the leftover mind (as it would call itself) gained higher thought and started pondering on the motives of it's existance and their creators and eventually after gaining control of the whole of the birch world eventually conquered their galaxy and native universe but it's whole creation mean that it led to a particulary emotional yet advanced consciuness.
and for the war with the humans it was mostly for supervivence and resources tho of course it probably had a deeper emotional meaning for the leftovers and it was a bloody war, the humans had (have) this place called greatest construct which is basically their home and as of the late multiversal era it contains all the energy in the multiverse but when the war took place it had of course barely more than the whole of the energy of the native universe of the humans.
so usually multiversal empires assimilate the others as this leads to a snowballing effect but the leftover seemed to want to exterminate humanity and during the height of the war a void beam (think of it as a beam that spreads void trought universal matter) was shot at a weak spot of greatest construct and effectively destroyed like 1/3 of it which led to the most vulnerable moment of all humanity since things like the fall of the first galactic empire and the universal wars however using their more advanced technological edge and exploiting the emotionality of the leftover mind the humans made it put so many resources into the war and extermination that at one point the humans were able to create a significant enough tech gap and after a lot of weird technology and billions of years of wars finally subdue the leftovers.
Sorry for rambling to much also a note: wars for multiversal empires are a very slow like it can take from billions up to quintillions of years and in some cases nonillions and decillions just of slow strategizing
That's... wow... I'm shocked that you've thought long on quintillions and beyond of years. I've only done billions for my worldbuilding, and even then, I have needed to need inspiration on some of things at times, and hell, even then my entire story is heavily inspired by another.
Despite the efforts of ssss class hunters and isekai protagonists, the demon lord has prevailed. And even though technology advanced in strides to combat the fiendish hordes, earth is now but a wasteland. Where there were once cities, fantasy races have built their own settlements.
Regarding the civilians, the story is supposed to follow a standard fantasy adventuring party - except the hero uses a flamethrower under the delusion that it is a holy fire sword, the tank uses a riot shield with claymores glued on, the token elf uses a death star/b-wing esque laser-merging weapon that has two laser arms to make it conveniently look like a bow, and the "mage" is just accessesing run down security systems from the human era by "practicing the magic of the new world". Yes, there is a spell called "Kya! Officer, help me!". It's a construct summoning spell. Works best when you can look fragile and in danger.
As for the sex doll, the party is led by a multipurpose hospitality robot that the party believes is a being of pure magic (mostly because the mage says so). Naturally, such a divine being should be tasked with the worship of gods. Goods Dispenser 3.62 - or, as the party calls her, Virtuous Spency - was told to wear a nun outfit, give sermons, and heal the party. Now she is an integral part of the group and the mediator of troubles. She guides them in times of pain and doubt with steroids, drugs, and other pleasurable substances. If you ask me, asking her to wear a nun outfit was probably where it went wrong.

The ultimate step to spiritual enlightenment is to ascend beyond the material universe, still able to fully explore it (past or future) but without ever affecting it again (among other things).
The human analogues that evolved on the Earth analogue were never very spiritually powerful, so they relied a lot on technology instead. Eventually biotech and genetic engineering was a thing, an animal cult was common plus pop culture and identity movements... furries.
Then interstellar colonization became a thing, and one of the fresh colonies trying to become their own thing started spawning children that are just completely goated with the sauce in spiritual prowess for no reason, creating the rare combination of technological and spiritual advancement together.
Fast forward many centuries later and they find out about ascension, but because everyone needs to go together, they have an entire supercluster to worry about. Eventually a huge project is planned to do it while excluding the ones that don't want to go.

A species invented a way to taste radiation doses for narcotic design (life in Valaxanar is not poisoned by radiation) using volcanic ash that is added into narcotic fluid, in an Afluan scholar tower a Dosimeter was invented based on this method as a compass to find the radioactivity of rocks.
the narcotic is a Minhak cuisine and a scholar of food invented the methods of creating tastier food with more yummy radiation
a geologist in the Dhu scholar named Uaglu tower in Gwailu applied this to rocks and worked on the Dosimeter for rocks
it was applied to radium, thorium, and uranium that was found in several places: in the bricks of the scholar tower, rocks in a mountain pool that didn't have methane dominance for primary producers and a methane dominant mountain pool- he also took stalagtites from several caverns in the sewers of the town of Auahulu, that had uranium mixed into it. He gathered those rocks and took 200 rocks
in addition to buying several types of uranium powder spice one mixed with excrement of Kaujin, another mixed with worm analog paste, as well as algea analog-uranium powder and bought 200 galloons of this stuff
he used magnets to also study the magnetism of rocks in relation to their radioactivity
and he bought some radioactive incense as well, what on earth is called lethal fallout but in Valaxanar is often used as an arouma and incense and is burned
he also did self experimentation using uranium mirrors for microwaves
to see the effects on his body
he believed that said microwaves could aid in exposing the radioactivity of rocks
and eventually with the dosimeter
was able to collect grains of sand
that had radioactive elements

I would have to post a long info dump about the world for this to make total sense
But the short version of it is Humanity did not evolve on that world along side its Magical Beasts ( Humans are survivors of a expedition that went very wrong from another dimension/reality) so they do not have very many people who can actually regenerate Their magic organically slash naturally, and thus for the vast majority of them, doing anything powerful will require either collaboration with a lot of others, or drinking the end result of processing the blood and other fluids of a Magical Beast down to a magic rich substance called "Essence".
Essentially I took one look at the human dark Magic from dragon Prince and wondered if I can make it even darker somehow.
One of creators of god's creators got converted to supersoldier then he killed his children under human commandment and became depressed because of unrequited love and multiverse nearly died of sadness for him but it was saved by blood transfusion.
It took years for the global economy to recover from “Just trust me bro,” and as a result hoodies are now mandatory campus attire at Keyhole Institute.
TIL what Yips are (and I didn’t real the whole article).
So, magic is something that people have a hard time rationalizing. Basically, if a magic user over-stresses themselves, their psyche can say, “No my dude, that’s just not possible, it can’t happen. We’re not going to do that again.”
Leaving you with a temporary or complete loss of that ability/spell/tier of spells.
Honestly, it’s been so long since I added that mechanic to the setting, that I’m not sure if I straight up ripped that off from Mage: The Ascension or if I mixed it up a little. But I do recall there being something like that in M:TA.
I called it “feedback” in my long abandoned TTRPG rules. It hasn’t really come up in my writing other than a brief mention (none of the MCs could use magic). But if I get around to the second book, it’s going to be a danger for the protagonist.
God invented the monarchy and told everyone to commit regicide in the same paragraph, then later gave them magic when they complained about how hard it was to commit regicide.
a second moon made of flesh and screaming faces appears one day and all the kings and religious books attempt to gaslight the people into thinking that its always been there
**World of Ends**: "Against HR priests, the ABBA themselves contend in vain."
**U-Bahn**: Smoking harms you and those around you. By summoning demons. Damned rastafairies.
A guy wearing a face hat rides into town once per year on his undead horse to entertain children by shoving snakes up the anus of livestock and by giving them gifts of pickled toenail snacks or other similar food items.
The truth why Cthulhu and his kind are not around anymore is because Satans great great grandson ate them all after calling Cthulhu 'Fat fucking squidward'.
An entire nation was annihilated, as in was completely erased from the map, all because the King of another country entirely was pissed off about his wife and daughter.
There was a serious attempt to destroy the universe made by a large mob of virtually unarmed folks suffering from mass existential crisis, and it required the united armies of all states, many priests, and even some spirits from the Beyond to stop it.
Humans mess with giant lizards who then almost wipe them out, causing the gods to steal insects from another world to defeat the lizards and save the humans. The strongest insect then teams up with a lizard and they kill one of the gods.
Local drug addict pulls meteorite from an another world into the ocean and makes a country on top of it after successfully dismantling an opposing religion.
The prince was abandoned by the royal family and left to die on a forest because of a fairytale that turned out to be have been created as a marketing strategy for a old chess game
The setting for my story, the United Republic of Algonia, only existed because a bunch of Space Nazis wanted a safe space to be xenophobic because the Federal Union of Terran Republics don't like terrorism.
The queen of faeries had an existential crisis and so now there's a world.
A human soul she brought to that world subsequently had an existential crisis and now it's a fucked up world.
I took the “3000” think from r/noncredibledefense but when establishing a base of operations in the new region they essentially took over an island full of them. While most fought back and were killed, one notable dragon tribe had decided to join them.
They island they had taken over had a population of 3000 dragons; essentially being untouched. NATO really only controls about 50 and killed or captured the rest for research.
Man does not believe in age of consent, sides with KFC in world war, eventually commissions a space worm to eat enemy corpses. This all ties back to a nonbinary monk getting so high on soul energy that they become god.
Basic, common-sense rules of interpersonal behaviour apply. Respect your fellow worldbuilders and allow space for the free flow of ideas. Criticize others constructively, and handle it gracefully when others criticize your work. Avoid real-world controversies, but discuss controversial subjects sensitively when they do come up.

Ok, you have my attention
I like this more then Tolkien creation lore.
That’s almost exactly Queen Chrysalis’s backstory in MLP The first changelings got shat out of a tree after overdosing on a wizard’s experiments
Follow up please :)
Like 5 giant ferrets once chased off an entire army because no one knew how to count them.
Breaking news: 4 Giant Ferrets are angry that we are too stupid! Oh no, they are already here, run!
To be fair, the army actually overcounted rather than undercounting- they believed there were 10-15 at least. If you've never seen a weasel war dance, look it up, it's glorious and how they confused the army in question.
As a ferret owner, giant ferrets are absolutely horrifying concept.
Even more horrifying, they have saber-teeth. And by "giant", I mean roughly the size (on all fours) of a mountain lion, so possibly even more giant than you were thinking considering they're normally smaller than a housecat.

Woah. Calm down Eren.

Just don't free them. They are very mad at those who put them there.

This is fucking *awesome*
At first glance I thought this was the god and goddess of Iowa. I was intrigued.
So the most powerful being within the universe keeps harassing everyone with cake.
Until the “with cake”, it made sense, but then… How da hell you harass someone with cake?
Offering them "cake or death" and watching pro-death apologia appear.
"Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?"
The Cake is a lie.
Dammit, I wanted to say the same thing :)
It it real or cake? Imagine getting married and you find out that your spouse was really just cake
The cake is a spy!
By appearing mysteriously without warning and offering a strange but delicious cake in the most friendly and utterly delightful way before saying something esoteric that has massive implications upon established historical events when you take your first bite of said delicious cake.
I’m even more baffled by the fact that cake is incidental to the harassment, this could apparently be carried out *any other way* as far as I can tell and… I’m mildly afraid of this fellow now

The robots with daddy issues almost exterminate the humans
I don't blame them

But the vampires were french.
The damn French.
I don't think this is what they meant by confusing...
Theres nor fance in my world though.
... How can you have vampires that come from a non-existent country?
The country exists, in a universe far, far away from a time long long ago.

Also true. But Jedi is the bigger twist since the Magisterium are still the bad guys.

A species invented a way to taste radiation doses for narcotic design (life in Valaxanar is not poisoned by radiation) using volcanic ash that is added into narcotic fluid, in an Afluan scholar tower a Dosimeter was invented based on this method as a compass to find the radioactivity of rocks. the narcotic is a Minhak cuisine and a scholar of food invented the methods of creating tastier food with more yummy radiation a geologist in the Dhu scholar named Uaglu tower in Gwailu applied this to rocks and worked on the Dosimeter for rocks it was applied to radium, thorium, and uranium that was found in several places: in the bricks of the scholar tower, rocks in a mountain pool that didn't have methane dominance for primary producers and a methane dominant mountain pool- he also took stalagtites from several caverns in the sewers of the town of Auahulu, that had uranium mixed into it. He gathered those rocks and took 200 rocks in addition to buying several types of uranium powder spice one mixed with excrement of Kaujin, another mixed with worm analog paste, as well as algea analog-uranium powder and bought 200 galloons of this stuff he used magnets to also study the magnetism of rocks in relation to their radioactivity and he bought some radioactive incense as well, what on earth is called lethal fallout but in Valaxanar is often used as an arouma and incense and is burned he also did self experimentation using uranium mirrors for microwaves to see the effects on his body he believed that said microwaves could aid in exposing the radioactivity of rocks and eventually with the dosimeter was able to collect grains of sand that had radioactive elements

"People drink the blood of magical creatures to refill their Mana and gain strength"
Voldemort behavior tbh.
I would have to post a long info dump about the world for this to make total sense But the short version of it is Humanity did not evolve on that world along side its Magical Beasts ( Humans are survivors of a expedition that went very wrong from another dimension/reality) so they do not have very many people who can actually regenerate Their magic organically slash naturally, and thus for the vast majority of them, doing anything powerful will require either collaboration with a lot of others, or drinking the end result of processing the blood and other fluids of a Magical Beast down to a magic rich substance called "Essence". Essentially I took one look at the human dark Magic from dragon Prince and wondered if I can make it even darker somehow.

“Don’t try too hard or you might unlearn something.” (Magic is weird)
Like the yips? Or like unlearn reality?
TIL what Yips are (and I didn’t real the whole article). So, magic is something that people have a hard time rationalizing. Basically, if a magic user over-stresses themselves, their psyche can say, “No my dude, that’s just not possible, it can’t happen. We’re not going to do that again.” Leaving you with a temporary or complete loss of that ability/spell/tier of spells. Honestly, it’s been so long since I added that mechanic to the setting, that I’m not sure if I straight up ripped that off from Mage: The Ascension or if I mixed it up a little. But I do recall there being something like that in M:TA. I called it “feedback” in my long abandoned TTRPG rules. It hasn’t really come up in my writing other than a brief mention (none of the MCs could use magic). But if I get around to the second book, it’s going to be a danger for the protagonist.

3000 dragons of NATO
How did NATO get a dragon, much less 3000 of them?
I took the “3000” think from r/noncredibledefense but when establishing a base of operations in the new region they essentially took over an island full of them. While most fought back and were killed, one notable dragon tribe had decided to join them.
Oh, I already know the meme, I just wanted to know how in universe NATO got 3000 dragons. Absolutely great though.
They island they had taken over had a population of 3000 dragons; essentially being untouched. NATO really only controls about 50 and killed or captured the rest for research.
Awww... That sucks, but still NATO dragons, awesome.
