Jester’s Requiem: The Fool’s Death — Deluxe Edition (Arc One Complete, Includes World Map)
📘 About the Book
Jester’s Requiem: The Fool’s Death presents the complete Arc One in a premium paperback format, expanding the core reading experience with an official world map that reveals the fractured lands shaped by the Dimensional Collapse.
Mocked. Powerless. Disposable.
Renzo was never meant to matter. He served as the kingdom’s fool—kept for laughter, tolerated for convenience, and ignored when danger arrived. That fragile existence ends with a deadly dungeon breach that annihilates seasoned adventurers and leaves Renzo as the only survivor.
Survival does not crown him a hero.
It binds him to something far worse.
🃏 The Harlequin System — Power Through Performance
Renzo awakens under the Harlequin System, a progression path that rejects strength, honor, and tradition. Advancement is earned through performance, trickery, and creative slaughter—where spectacle and psychological impact matter as much as the outcome.
Progression rewards:
- Deception over direct confrontation
- Improvisation over rigid builds
- Theatrical execution over efficiency
In a world that once mocked him for entertaining others, Renzo is forced to perform again—this time on a blood-stained stage.
🏰 Dungeon Guilds, Monster Raids, and Fear
The kingdom is ruled by dungeon guilds that monetize survival and weaponize hierarchy. Power is bureaucratic, failures are erased, and anomalies are hunted.
Renzo’s growth does not follow accepted rules.
His class does not fit guild doctrine.
And his presence threatens the balance that keeps the system profitable.
The class no one respected is about to become the most feared.
🩸 Arc One — Complete Edition (Deluxe)
This Deluxe Edition collects the entire Arc One, spanning five seasons of Renzo’s origin story—from powerless fool to world-shaking anomaly.
Included in this edition:
- The full Arc One narrative (all five seasons)
- Early dungeon survival and system discovery
- Escalating conflict with guild authority
- The moment Renzo stops surviving—and starts choosing
🗺️ Exclusive World Map
This edition also includes the official world map of The World of Jester’s Requiem, offering a deeper look into regions reshaped by the Dimensional Collapse and the forces that govern them. The map contextualizes locations, factions, and the scale of the world Renzo threatens to upend.
🎭 Tone & Themes
Jester’s Requiem embraces a dark, restrained tone with themes that include:
- Dehumanization and hierarchy
- Performance as identity
- Power born from ridicule
- Violence as expression rather than conquest
Victories are earned. Growth has consequence. And laughter curdles into fear.
