I woke up with a to-do list and then, instead of all that, spent the afternoon fixing a theremin from a yard sale

Rynelle is a struggling magic student until she infuses with the Viridian Sphere, an enchanted relic. Combined, Rynelle gains impressive magics, and Viri experiences life through her. But thieves and monsters abound... can they return the relic to their rightful champion? #bluepit #📖 #NA #F #W

A woman holding an enchanted sword, smiling confidently. The text reads:

The Viridian Sphere is a fantasy novel
narrated by the magic relic, Viridian.
The relic's unique perspectives gives
a different angle to a familiar fantasy
setting, and as Viridian's powers grow,
they gain new perspectives on the
champions they aid and those who
would oppose them.

Viridian knows only one thing for
sure: they are in control of their
own destiny.

The Viridian Sphere features:

* Aro/ace protagonist
* Magic shapeshifting relics
* Relics infusing with people
* Second first chances
* Fighting monsters
* Running away from monsters
* Searching for an identity

An aerial view of a magic city with the magic academy in the upper right corner. The text reads:

Stolen from their original champion, the
Viridian Sphere is taken to Berindal Academy,
the apex of magic study in the Central
Kingdoms.

In order for a chance to return
home, they agree to assist Rynelle, a
struggling elementalist, on a research project
deep into a dangerous swamp teeming with
monsters in search of the ruins of Llowyn.

Legend says there may be hints
to the origins of the Silvallan
Spheres kept there...

A view of the shore of a lake surrounded by trees in green and orange, with a crumbling stone structure partway in the water. The text reads:

All Rynelle wants is magic equal to her peers.
All Viridian thinks they want is to return home, until they experience life through Rynelle's eyes.
Maybe one more side quest together wouldn't hurt...

A woman with a serious expression holding an enchanted sword surrounded by green magic.

The Viridian Sphere, an enchanted necklace, augments heroes with vast magical power. They transform heroes, become weapons in their hands, and more. But Viridian is conscious, and wants something more than being anchored to another's heroism. They want their own destiny. #bluepit #📖 #NA #F #W

An infographic showing different stages of the Viridian Sphere's evolution. Text: I am the Viridian Sphere, an echanted relic searching for my champion and an answer to why I was forged. I take on many shapes.

An infographic showing monsters of the Relicverse. Text: My job is to aid my wielders in times of great need. I don't have to be just a sword, but it comes in handy a lot...

An infographic showing other relics and secondary characters of the Relicverse. Text: I'm not alone, there are others like me. Cerulean and Amethyst claim that our ultimate technique, 'infusion', augments our champions. I'm not sure I'm ready for the consequences though... Infusion combines a relic with their wielder, granting new skills and new strengths--but also combines the conscious minds of both.

An inforaphic showing characters from the town of Quinn's Peak. Text: All I really want, though, is to get back to Janine, my first champion. We saved her hometown together, and we were going to do legendary things until I was stolen. I'm doing everything I can to return to her... I miss her.

The Viridian Sphere is a fantasy adventure narrated by the titular relic themself as they develop their powers, aid champions in combating monsters, explore ancient ruins, and seek an identity of their own. Finishing my latest draft this year, then will be seeking editors! #bluepit #📖 #NA #F #W

Still getting a feel for Darktide and I know barely anything about 40K lore, but I do enjoy the religious robofolk Anyway, here's mine, her name is PR-4YST4T-1ON and she has a squeaky voice and likes looking at machines and stuff

A Warhammer 40K Darktide character, a Skitarii with red robes and hood, armor, and a facemask with green glowing eyes. Her name is PR-4YST4T-1ON, pronounced 'Pray-Station'.

I've been around a while, I just don't say much..! I pulled way back from social media after a buffoon brought a sink to the offices of his new acquisition, but I couldn't stay away I guess

Satra is responsible for my favorite versions of my story's main character Rynelle, and everyone should check out all her art and maybe get some too!

New Relicverse page! 9.02 - The Chronomap relicverse.net/library/viri... Like any good fantasy story, there has to be a map! This one is just a regular map though. The one on the page itself has an animation, as tracking flying cities is no easy feat. #writesky #webnovel

A fantasy map of the Relicverse continent. The major kingdoms, such as Berin and Cascalia, are located near the center, with lesser kingdoms like Jaegrius, Vallis, and Dia on the outer regions.

OKAY SO a reader of Viridian Sphere 3D printed one of the sword variants the relic can transform into and it is amazing!! I didn't expect to have "fan 3D print" on my author bingo card but it's all I can think about right now, wow

New Relicverse Page! 8.12 - The Strategist It's been hard to find time to write, with work being crazy and only ever getting crazier. But only a couple more pages to the end of the chapter, then only a couple chapters left for book one! relicverse.net/library/viri... #booksky #webnovel

I didn't label it as LGBT, but I think The Viridian Sphere has a few trans metaphors embedded in its fantasy design. As someone who decided to not transition, it's my outlet story in a way. And I hope to make my fantasy world welcoming while others have become unsafe. #BluePit #BluePit📖 #W #F #NA

Juno@juno· Jan 13

The Viridian Sphere offers a unique perspective for a fantasy tale, through the lens of an enchanted necklace grappling with agency and identity in a world that doesn't understand them, until they find an unusual magic student with similar struggles. #BluePit #BluePit📖 #W #F #NA

An infographic with the protagonists of The Viridian Sphere, Rynelle and Viridian. Text:

Current draft readable at https://relicverse.net
WIP status: 75% (word count 118K)

The Viridian Sphere starts as just an observer, experiencing things vicariously through their champions. But as they uncover more powers, their magic lets them combine with Rynelle, becoming a spelcasting knight with a slight identity crisis...

Features:
Conscious magic relics
Heroic stands
Magic academies
Ancient puzzles
Exploring identity through another's eyes
Aro/ace protagonists
Cozy towns
FISHING
Lighthearted friendships
Industrial magic

A magic relic narrates their own trek across the Central Kingdoms in the hands of various champions. They wish to return to Janine, their first wielder. But then they infuse with Rynelle and experience life as more than just a magic sword, thing get... complicated. #BluePit #BluePit📖 #W #F #NA

New Relicverse page! 8.07 - Ancient Guardians I appreciate @rally.luckyraven.cc for going into a relicverse art session cold, I say "hey I need a clockwork ant that I can stick magic on" and the design ends up being a total banger an hour later relicverse.net/library/viri... #writesky #webnovel

A mechanical ant with a magic circle eye motif in front of its head, a magic wand for a stinger, and a larger magic circle as the background.

New Relicverse page! 8.06 - The Hidden City More mysteries, more orbs... the heroes have a whole underground chamber below their ruins to explore, and it was nothing like what they expected. Really excited for the back half of this chapter! relicverse.net/library/viri... #webnovel #writesky

New Relicverse page! 8.04 - The Lily Tower I think I skipped a few update announcements, but it just means more to read! Image is unrelated to the page (art by @satrathai.bsky.social), but it's Rynelle enjoying a festive treat. Happy holidays! relicverse.net/library/viri... #webnovel #writesky

New Relicverse page! 8.01 - Second Awakening New chapter, new location, and some time to explore the consequences of infusion for Viridian: experiencing the world in a new way from living eyes, combined with Rynelle into an entirely new being. relicverse.net/library/viri... #writesky #webnovel

Juno@juno· Nov 23

New Relicverse Page! 7.08 - The Last Gasp I had one final page to wrap up a chapter, I'm all hyped from WIPPIT, and the animation came out nice, so I thought... why not finish it out before holiday chaos begins? relicverse.net/library/viri... #writesky #webnovel #amwriting

Juno@juno· Nov 23

A conscious magic relic, the Viridian Sphere, narrates their own journey to return to the champion they were stolen from. They fight, they transform into swords, they form symbiotic links with their wielders, and they do hero stuff! About 70% written, looking to edit next year! #WIPPIT #NA #F

New Relicverse page! 7.07 - Night Weaver There are monsters in the dark... As always, @rally.luckyraven.cc did an amazing job with the art for this page! It gives me chills. And almost wraps up this chapter! One page to go... relicverse.net/library/viri... #writesky #webnovel
