Dandy's Kingdom: Rings Of Glory

by TheTrueKleos

Summary:

Once upon a time existed a timeline. In it, Toons lived in an era way back from the present time - middle of the 18th century. Back then was the time when kingdoms still existed, yet these ones had a special surprise to them. Ten rings were scattered across the entire world, capable of giving immense powers to its rightful owner. But this time, questions seem to overflow through everyone's brains: Where did these rings come from? How do they decide the "rightful owner"? Are they really a blessing of glory, or are they a curse blinded by power? Uncover the hidden mysteries of this world and dive deep into the story to find answers to all of these questions. We welcome you with open arms. And always remember: with rings of such power, you'll never be alone ever! :)

Chapter 1: A New Fable

Why hello there, dearest reader! From where did ya come? TikTok? Or did you just find this fanfic while scrolling through AO3? Doesn't matter as much. Especially if you're here from TikTok, you might wanna take another look at this.

See that date? Well, for me personally, that day has come. And now, I'd love to introduce you all to my newest creation. Welcome to Dandy's Kingdom: Rings Of Glory. This is a fanfic written by me, TheTrueKleos, and my greatest friend Mackwack (_mika132 on TikTok). Now, some of the characters here actually have official designs. How about we take a quick look to make sure we won't have any further questions?

(Huge thanks to _mika132 on TikTok for the artwork. More designs will be uploaded later on) The story takes place in somewhere around 1750. However, a few things will be brought from way further in time into the AU. Please be aware of this and don't get surprised. Now then, how about a quick explanation? The story of this fanfic covers a world of different kingdoms, each one wielding a ring that contains immense power. Meant to be called Eternal Saviors, they preferred a much more simple name - Ring Owners, and there's a reason (one that I'm not spoiling). But these rings, everything that they control and everything that spreads through them: none of it is normal. None of it is ordinary. Some different type of energy seems to be stored in each one. It's there, and it's not useful. It's sick. It's malevolent. It's corruptive. Without this, there is still so much to find out about this world: Where did the rings come from? How are the chosen ones even "chosen"? Are these rings truly a blessing of power, or are they secretly the heaviest curse? And most importantly, what's this weird, rippling energy that almost threatens to consume a Ring Owner whole? All the questions will be answered. Every answer will be found. Horrifying or not, the truth will be revealed. Interested yet? Hopefully so! This is all due to the fact that we are about to dive into this story. An important factor here is that there are 10 main characters. Everyone will have a lot of mentions and parts, but most of the story will be centered around Gourdy, Vee and Sprout. They are the main main characters. Without further ado, lets begin.
