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.

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and keep note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever feels right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. /Extra/ "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know what exactly is going on."

"From the grave rise two men without eyes, Holding a heart in their hands. And I weep over my brother, Is this my blood, or his?" In a land once ablaze with the flames of glory, a bloody uprising turned everything to ashes, giving rise to a fanatic regime founded upon the religion of Firinic. Yet amidst the ruins, one soul has sworn to one day return to this forsaken land and reclaim their stolen rights with blood, rising from the fire and ashes. 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."
