Rune Seeker

A LitRPG Adventure

By: J.M. Clarke, C.J. Thompson

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

The Everfail will rise. His enemies will fall.

Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior. Studies longer than any scholar.

But all his people are born with magic powered by the sun, flowing through tattoos on their bodies. Despite having enormous energy within, Hiral is the only one who can’t channel it; his hard work is worth nothing.

Until it isn’t.

In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a special instruction: Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward.

It’s his first—and maybe last—chance for real power. Just one problem: all dungeons lay in the wilderness below the flying islands that humanity lives on, and there lay secrets and dangers that no one has survived.

New powers await, but so do new challenges. If he survives? He could forge his own path to power.

If he fails? Death will be the least of his problems.

Don't miss the next progression fantasy series from J.M Clarke, bestselling author of Mark of the Fool, along with C.J. Thompson. Unlock a weak-to-strong progression into power and a detailed litRPG system with unique classes, skills, dungeons, achievements, survival and evolution. Explore a mysterious world of fallen civilizations, strange monsters and deadly secrets.

If you loved Mark of the Fool you will love this

I really enjoyed the process of the main character growing into his powers, and the benter of the party members was my favourite part

Exceeded my Expectations

Picked this up on a friends recommendation and because I enjoy another series by one of the Authors. Going in I thought it would be a light read that followed along the usual paths. The dungeon bits dragged on a little but the world built is so engrossing the story was hard to put down.

pretty darn good

it's been a while since I heard a book by Ralph lister and he nailed this book. it was easy to follow and I appreciated the progression pace, I just wish the second book was out now to continue the story

Enjoyed it immensely

The 22 hour book was very difficult to put down, enjoyed the story and the reading! I would recommend the book for all readers of any age

ok book

ok book . . . good narrator. . . will probably not get the next book in the series.

Basic and predictable

Story is very basic and I could predict most things that happen next very shallow. They did not explain anything about the crystal golem. The whole part about the ending seems very forced just to make another story.

Ok story i guess

The narrator should have at least changed the voice for female characters, they all sound the same, hard to tell them apart

Good story

Liked the story and the world building. Plot is slow paced because of constant fighting which I understand and it didn’t ruin the story for me.
Narrator was hard to get used to with not a lot of difference in character voices

Alright I guess...

I'm about 3/4ths through the book and I felt like making a review now as I don't think it will change much at the end. The narrator is okay, I have a tough time distinguishing which character is talking at times which hampers the story. Also, the MC has really taken a back seat at times in the overall narrative which took away from my initial impression. They became too meek in my opinion, and the rest of the party talks over them all the time. It's them talking their decisions, They truly lack the drive and hunger I want to see in a fighter/academic.

Also I love in dangerous moments,... They. Keep. Talking. like if you're trying to be stealthy, yes, please keep discussing the issues or grievances instead of being quiet. It is minor, but really is a pet peeve for me,

I like the idea for the world, the power system, and dungeons, and I think they really should have double downed on that. I don't know if I'll buy the sequel.

well that's a story about a complete Mary Sue.

if you like a main that is the best at everything all the time and the only flaw is he can't use the same power as others because he has a more powerful magic no one else even knows of...

if you like a main that is stronger, faster, smarter, tougher, luckier, and all around better then everyone before getting a broken powerful power set...

this Mary Sue story is for you. it's a simple story with easy comprehension. before the first half the book out 'hero' goes from almost as strong as higher level characters to the strongest man in town. maybe by the 2nd book he'll be standing on gods... not that I'm going to bother trying to sit through another of these... soo drawn out trying to be a LitRPG stuck on the game style, been done better in other books and been done worse in some books... so it's ok. mid rate story overall, better only because the narrator reading it is good at his job!
