About this listen

An action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Mother of Learning, Primal Hunter, and The Perfect Run!

Fight. Grind. Grow strong enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death.

Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again.

In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front of him, going around is not an option. Instead, he'll batter it thousands of times until either the wall breaks or he does. And gain skill levels along the way.

Until, maybe one run, he'll grow powerful enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Experience this fast-paced LitRPG Adventure about Orodan and his progression toward becoming extremely overpowered using a time loop. The series features a detailed system, loads of skills, varied progression paths, deep worldbuilding, cultivation aspects, and a heroic character you can't help but root for!

After the 1st few chapters you're thinking "how's he going to make this book last another 25 hours?" it's so fast paced.

Buy it!! You'll love it if you love litrpg. On a par with Nova Roma series for story, but not much out there to give it a run for your money unless you commit 16++ credits to The Wandering Inn.

You think it's groundhog day...but you're wrong

Never runs out of steam...million mph

X-RHODEN-X knows exactly what they wanted to write and they smashed it out the park for a home-run with this excellently craftedly time-loop weak to OP MC Lit-RPG splendour.

It's rare that I will remain keenly tuned and actively listening to most of the audiobooks that I consume, but the cinematic magic, Daniel Wisniewski ever masterfully performance and narrative flow of this story hits on all levels.

There's so much room accounted for, when we are first introduced to our simple bullheaded protagonist, doing what most of us are likely to do in a time-loop or when gearing/levelling in our choosen RPGs - repeat/repeat/repeat until levelled-up or geared-up then push on with the story or join the raid for even more grinding.

Orodan embodies that mentality all hardcore gamers possess, it helps that his willpower is established to be mythical at the outset.....then the story opens up and the grandeur of this world starts to unfold and at this moment I knew I was onboard this ride until the very end.

This is exactly what I was looking for after The Perfect Run, Mother of Learning and Apocalyse Reborn.....Book 2 can not come soon enough.

For anyone thrown at how asinine our protagonist is in the early chapters - trust the author, trust the story and most importantly enjoy the journey....this one is all about the journey, the lore, the mysteries, the skills and the grandeur.
