Another End

At first, earth was a planet blessed with an overabundance of mana and sentient species, all connected to an interplanetary world system. That is until a drunk Goddess of Birth, Origin, and Beginnings, Ardvite, showed up. In her drunken haze she created a race that absorbed mana to evolve themselves at an incredible rate – Humans, after which she promptly passed out drunk and took at 12,000 year nap.

Without mana to support them, 90% of all life on earth was extinguished and almost all traces of their civilizations crumbled into dust over time. Now in the modern era, Ardvite wakes up and tries to get rid of her hangover while fixing her mistake without alerting the other gods, who would furiously mock her for ending something.

After getting humans to drop mana filled bombs on each other, both restoring diversity and mana to the planet while also culling the human population. Mana mutates the earth’s inhabitants, changing the race of some, granting some magic or mana induced powers, or for the most part just violently killing them.

Now a boy who was turned into one of the only 5 legendary beast kin, the kitsune, decides to set out to get to the homeland that he always dreamed of returning to in his small town in rural Washington.

This is my first attempt at writing a story, so I would greatly appreciate any comments, question, concerns, or feedback on my writing. Thanks, and (hopefully) enjoy the read.
