Stone Free Requiem

What defines you? Your memories? Your choices? Your ideals? Or something deeper, something beyond your control? James had a dream—an identity, an ego so unyielding he would do anything to accomplish it. Then he died. The ego, something he had so desperately clung to, should have vanished into the void. Except it didn’t. Now, James exists as Zeliot Valoria, one of the sons of Indra’s ruling duke. A boy born into privilege and suffocated by expectations. Yet, the memories of James’s ambitions, his choices, and his failures remain as vivid as ever. What once drove him forward as a man now leaves him untethered in a world of political games, fragile alliances, and secrets buried beneath centuries of power. Caught between two selves, Zeliot must ask: How much of James should he hold onto? And how much of Zeliot will he allow himself to become? As conspiracies unravel around him and the very ideals he once lived and died for are tested, Zeliot is forced to decide if those beliefs were ever truly his—or just the remnants of a life already lost. In Espersia: Requiem for a Revolutionary, identity and ideals collide in a story of ambition, loyalty, and the cost of defining yourself in a world determined to do it for you.

Author's Note: This story is heavily inspired by Lord of Mysteries—what I humorously refer to as my "make-a-wish version." Awakening in an unfamiliar body, the main character discovers he has taken over the body of a forgotten man in a fantasy world that transcends a single era. A world shaped by rituals, alchemy, divination, and the presence of mysterious deities. As he struggles to unravel his identity, he is drawn into the secrets of alchemy, ancient mysteries, and the hidden truths that shaped this extraordinary realm.

This is a Requiem for Fire-a Fire in which courage, vengeance, and hope burn to bend destiny before the will of justice. It is the chronicle of a hundred years of torment, a century that serves as a poignant reminder of a forgotten truth: "Justice lives in the heart of those who resist."

In the vast virtual world of "Eternity's Realm," the legendary warrior "EternalRequiem" ruled supreme. Unbeaten and enigmatic, this VRMMORPG icon's true identity remained a closely guarded secret. Meanwhile, within Havenville High's bustling halls, whispers surrounded the introverted student, Saito. Labeled a "nerd" by his peers, his exceptional gaming skills were confined to the shadows. Little did they know, Saito's virtual alter ego, EternalRequiem, had captivated the hearts of many. Among them was Akane Shinoda, Havenville's darling. Her captivating smile and effortless charm earned admiration from all. Yet, beneath her radiant facade, Akane harbored a secret obsession – EternalRequiem. Fate intertwined their paths when Havenville High introduced the "Couple System," pairing students for an indefinite period. Partners would accumulate points through joint activities, with the ultimate goal of earning a coveted "Divorce" – freedom to choose new partners. Akane's eyes widened in dismay as the pairing ceremony revealed her unlikely match: Saito, the soft-spoken nerd. How could fate be so cruel? Little did she know, her gaming idol and schoolmate concealed a life-altering secret, one that would transform their pretend marriage into a complex dance of revelation, rivalry and romance.

To Corvina, half a century alive practicing magic and experimenting with ingredients in the vastness of the world was obvious; she was a Witch, after all, and it was her job to pioneer new avenues of magic and alchemy so that the rest of the world might enjoy a better life going forwards. Power came to her naturally, her fifty years of life having been devoted to acquiring it, and while she very much enjoyed the solitude of being a Witch, things change when someone interesting pops into her life all of a sudden. A weird, peculiar woman about half her age, saying things that don't make sense, doing things and acting in ways that seemed far too... practiced to simply be the mistakes that she claims they are; this woman caught Corvina's interest, especially since she was a hopeful woman with paltry skills in magic attempting to become a Witch. And yet where others found her to be merely a intriguing yet worthless prospect, Corvina saw something in her, something that she wasn't entirely aware would spark into something that would change her life forever. This is going to be a romance between a futanari (Corvina) and a woman, with quite a fair amount of smut eventually when everything has reached that point between them; there will be no PoV switches as I want to show everything from the older, more 'set' character compared to the fascinating and mysterious woman she meets. Fantasy, more about character interaction than action, slice of life between two interesting characters, and even more generic yet comforting chapters to read (hopefully) daily... If you like Futa on Female, Yuri, Fantasy and a good story, then please come on in and read~!

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

Bullied at school, ignored by teachers, and abandoned by the very people who should protect him, Lumumba is drowning in a sea of hatred and loneliness. As the insults pile up, his bitterness grows—until one day, an incident pushes him too far. In a violent confrontation, his world comes crashing down, but instead of meeting his end, Lumumba is thrust into a brutal new reality. Waking in a strange, war-torn fantasy world, Lumumba is reborn as Ubuntu, a powerful anti-hero with extraordinary regenerative abilities, mastery of combat, and a newfound indifference to pain. But Ubuntu is no ordinary warrior. He knows he’s part of a story, breaking the fourth wall to comment on the absurdities of the world around him, mocking the tropes of the genre while carving his own chaotic path. Driven by his rage and desire for revenge, Ubuntu's quest becomes twofold: to dominate this new world and find a way back to exact revenge on those who made his life hell. But as he cuts through enemies, manipulates the rules of this new universe, and confronts his old life with newfound powers, Ubuntu must grapple with his own morality—or lack thereof. In this darkly comedic, meta-aware isekai tale, justice and chaos walk hand in hand, and the line between hero and villain blurs into nothing. In a world where rules don’t apply, what happens when the outsider becomes the ultimate force of destruction?

In a multiverse teetering on the brink of collapse, Kael Ardyn, a young wanderer, stumbles upon a shard of unimaginable power—a fragment of the Prime Echo, the heart of the Nexus that once bound countless realms in harmony. The shard grants him access to the chaotic energies of Resonance, but its power comes with a heavy price: every use brings him closer to unraveling what little balance remains. Pursued by factions with conflicting goals—the zealous Spiral Choir, the enigmatic Reverie Collective, and the ruthless Silent Path—Kael is thrust into a high-stakes conflict. Each faction seeks control of the shards, claiming they alone can restore the Nexus or reshape it to their will. As Kael struggles to master the shard’s volatile power, he encounters Aeris Saelin, a wandering bard with a sharp tongue and a veiled past, whose knowledge of Resonance may hold the key to his survival. Together, they navigate treacherous realms, uncover ancient Stabilizers that once sustained the Nexus, and face the shadowy remnants of the Prime Echo itself—fragments that speak cryptic truths about the Nexus’s fate. But Kael soon realizes the greatest threat may not lie in the factions hunting him or the monstrous Resonance beasts stalking the realms. Instead, it may be within himself: the shard’s voice grows louder with every battle, its will increasingly at odds with his own. As the Nexus deteriorates further, Kael is forced to confront impossible choices. Will he sacrifice everything to restore balance, even if it means destroying himself—or will he succumb to the shard’s power and risk plunging the multiverse into irreversible chaos? The Nexus Requiem blends high-concept fantasy, multiversal intrigue, and layered character drama into an epic tale of survival, betrayal, and self-discovery. With every decision, Kael’s journey reveals not only the truth behind
