The Raze are coming. And Hiral is not prepared.

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.

Now, the only chance the world has lies with the brightest and most dangerous minds ever to grace the world: The Fallen.

If anybody had a plan to stop the Raze, it would be them. Too bad they’ve never been the most cooperative. To get the Fallen’s answers and have a hope of fighting the Raze, Hiral and his companions will need enough strength to face the storm they know is coming.

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

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.

J.M. Clarke

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.

Clarke’s writing is marked by a deep love for world-building and an unwavering focus on character development. His protagonists aren’t flawless champions—they’re scholars, outcasts, and reluctant heroes learning to navigate their own power. His background, which includes working with children, volunteering in hospice care, and, by his own admission, failing to master the bass guitar on three separate occasions, lends a quietly human touch to his work—one that resonates through every spell cast and every choice made.

In addition to his solo success, Clarke has collaborated with author Carter J. Thompson on the Rune Seeker series, continuing to explore the blend of high fantasy, adventure, and personal stakes that defines his storytelling style.

At the core of his growing library is a simple idea: fantasy can be both epic and personal. J.M. Clarke writes not to escape reality, but to reimagine it through characters who rise slowly, imperfectly, and bravely. And in doing so, he’s earned a place among the most compelling new voices in progression and LitRPG fantasy.

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 carves its own path in the progression fantasy and LitRPG landscape with a setting that feels both alien and familiar—levitating isles bathed in harsh sunlight, arcane dungeons stitched with forgotten lore, and a system of magic that rewards those who dare to bend the rules. But the heart of the series isn’t in its world-building alone—it’s in Hiral himself. He’s not just trying to survive. He’s trying to rewrite the very definition of strength.

As the story unfolds, so does a deeper mythology—one that blurs the lines between divine legacy and human will. Through battles both physical and internal, Hiral must navigate evolving skills, cryptic rune mechanics, and the heavy burden of choice. His transformation isn’t sudden, and it’s rarely clean. But that’s what makes it resonate.

For readers drawn to underdog narratives, richly structured magic systems, and the slow burn of becoming something more than what the world allows, Rune Seeker offers a layered, immersive experience. It's not just about leveling up—it's about breaking free.
