Requiem of the Forgotten

"Requiem of the Forgotten" is a dark-fantasy saga with Slavic influences, featuring a complex, rule-heavy magic system and an expansive narrative planned for over 500 chapters. The story emphasizes gradual character development and long-term narrative payoffs. The novel begins with Aleks, a typical 16-year-old, whose world is disrupted when strange creatures attack Earth. Angels relocate survivors, including humans, elves, and dwarves, to a new world, granting them six months to prepare for the creatures' inevitable return. The initial arc focuses on adaptation, survival, and community building amidst instability, with subtle hints of a past civilization embedded in ancient ruins. A divine mystery unfolds: God has vanished, and the attacking creatures are a manifestation of this absence, which Heaven cannot explain or halt. At the conclusion of Arc 1, the angel Uriel merges with Aleks, who voluntarily agrees to be sealed for 10,000 years to fulfill Uriel's unfinished mission. Upon awakening, Aleks finds himself in a world with established nations, religions, and a magic system known as Essence. Future arcs will explore themes such as a magic academy, slow-burn romance, and Aleks's personal growth from an insecure youth to a powerful figure by unlocking Uriel's latent abilities. The planet they inhabit, Eden, is revealed to be God's first creation. The narrative will delve into the reasons behind the Maker's departure and the subsequent creation of other worlds. Readers can expect a weak-to-strong progression, a hard magic system with real costs, Slavic-inspired lore, character-driven arcs, profound foreshadowing, and mature themes.
