Hiral and his raid group have achieved A-Rank and conquered the Cradle of Tomorrow, but there’s no time to celebrate. Closing the Black Gates won’t be enough, the Raze will still overwhelm all of Genesis.

Ultimately, their only chance is to do what nobody has done before. Achieve the pinnacle of power. Achieve S-Rank.

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 six 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.
