Requiem of the Forgotten: Surviving in a Fantasy World
I’ll keep it simple. This is a dark-fantasy journey with Slavic vibes, a rules-heavy magic system, and a plan that stretches 500+ chapters. It’s built on slow, earned growth and long-term payoffs.
Aleks is a typical 16-year-old—introverted, stuck in his head, dealing with the usual problems and feeling smaller than he wants to admit. Then the world shatters: the earth gets hit by strange creatures, and angels step in—not to save it forever, but to move the survivors to another world. Humans arrive together with elves, dwarves, and others. They get six months to prepare, because those creatures will return, and next time the angels won’t.
Arc 1 is different on purpose: it’s learning to live, build, and watch each other’s backs when everything is unstable. Along the way, small bits of foreshadowing show up—old ruins, leftovers from a civilization that still remembers what this planet was before anyone was teleported here.
Spoiler to hook you god has vanished. The creatures aren’t “monsters”—they’re the absence left behind after he vanished. Heaven doesn’t know where He went, and that absence is spreading. At the end of the first arc, an angel seals himself inside Aleks—Uriel—and still has a task to finish ten thousand years later. Aleks chooses to be sealed for those 10,000 years so he can return and complete Uriel’s purpose. From then on, Uriel lives in his head. When Aleks wakes up after those 10, 000 years, there are real nations, religions, cultures, politics—and a magic system called Essence.
From there: there will be many different arcs—like one at a magic academy. There will also be romance, written in a subtle, slow-burn way without ever overtaking the novel. Aleks’ personality will develop with every chapter, and so will the reader’s connection to him. At the start he is weak, insecure, and far from a hero, but step by step he grows stronger, later unlocking the sealed powers of the angel within him and rising to the top. This will be a long adventure, full of emotion.
Another spoiler: the planet they’re on is Eden—the first creation of god. If you want to know what happened there, why the Maker left it, and why other worlds were made after, that’s the road this story takes.
What to expect
Slow-burn, weak-to-strong progression (no instant OP).
A hard magic system with real costs and an essence economy.
Slavic-flavored myths, bleak forests, stubborn cities, and messy politics.
Character-driven arcs: found family, rivalries, grief, small wins that matter.
Foreshadowing that pays off dozens or hundreds of chapters later.
Mature themes, violence, psychological depth, profanity. No game screens.
Give it a chance—read what’s out. If it’s not your thing, all good. If it clicks, welcome aboard.
