The Dream Land Story

The Dream Land Story is an 87-chapter long Kirby fan fiction. Yes, you heard me right.

Written by GameTrekker, this story follows a young Dreamlander named Popopo, who lives a peaceful life in Vegetable Valley. Unfortunately, he is forced to flee his home when a evil force called Dark Matter possesses most of its inhabitants, including King Dedede. Aided by a mysterious, unseen man named Gooey, he is forced to embark on an epic adventure that slowly transforms him into a Star Warrior.

After adopting the alias "Kirby", he travels across Pop Star, searching for the shards of the broken Star Rod, the only weapon that can banish Dark Matter. But the Eldritch Abomination is slowly possessing the entire planet, and it's only a matter of time before Pop Star is lost...

When this story begins, it is written in an extremely simplistic style, but slowly grows in complexity and quality as it advances. It is currently being revised (link).
