Rune Seeker 5A LitRPG Adventure
They thought the Enemy was the worst of their foes. They were wrong.
It was supposed to end with the saving of Fallen Reach, but that was only the beginning. In an apocalyptic battle, a nightmarish monster nearly took everything from one of Hiral's closest friends, and only a great sacrifice saved her life and soul.
As the party reels from the near-loss, one thing becomes clear: they must learn more. Ancient secrets have revealed that the truth they thought they knew was twisted, and they can only save their reality by uncovering the rest of what was hidden.
The Enemy works against them. The Fallen work against them.
But are they the only factions they must worry about, or do dangers lie closer?
The truth might be hidden in the Progenitors’ secrets, and those revelations could shatter everything that Hiral knows about his world.
…and about himself.

J.M. Clarke
Long before the Mark of the Fool series became a sensation among fantasy readers, J.M. Clarke was quietly shaping the kind of stories he wanted to see in the world—tales where magic doesn't come easy, choices carry weight, and heroes grow not through destiny, but through grit and consequence. It was never about following a blueprint; it was about building a world that felt lived-in, flawed, and full of wonder.
A Canadian at heart and storyteller by instinct, Clarke didn’t emerge from the traditional publishing pipeline. Instead, his journey began during the stillness of the pandemic, when he started sharing his writing online. What began as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a phenomenon. Mark of the Fool—a progression fantasy known for its compelling magic system, emotionally grounded characters, and sly humor—racked up nearly 10 million views on Royal Road and went on to sell over 100,000 eBooks. The series didn’t just find an audience—it struck a chord with readers hungry for fantasy that balanced powerful storytelling with authentic emotional arcs.
Rune Seeker
In a world where power is etched into skin and sunlight fuels sorcery, failure isn’t just humiliating—it’s fatal. Hiral has spent his entire life beneath the weight of a single, damning title: Everfail. Born without the spark that allows others to harness the solar runes of their sky-bound society, he’s mocked, pitied, and ignored. Until the day a deadly encounter awakens something ancient within him—an achievement long thought impossible, and an invitation to enter a dungeon that no one has ever returned from.
Rune Seeker consists of seven books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
