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!

First of all, Daniel Wisniewski did another outstanding job as the narrator of this book. He is one of the best and gets so much out of the characters. As for the book, I love the power system. The characters does not primarily get stronger by increasing their strenght stat, instead they have to increase their physical fitness skill by increasingly harder exercise. This makes the book a breath of fresh air and the time loop theme is well executed. I strongly recommend this book to litrpg enjoyers and i cannot wait for book 2!

Great start to the series!

If you like OP MC's then you will love this. It's quite unique with the time loop mechanic and it's done very well. Lots of action, and a brutish MC. He is very lucky but it sort of plays into the story. Also very quick paced and easy to follow which I know with some other time looping books can be difficult to get right.

Well worth a credit and honestly can't wait for the next one!

Really Good

Now mother of learning ruined most time loop stories for me as none compared but I have to say this has honestly taken its own approach and I loved it I’ll be looking for the 2nd audio book thank you to both narrator and author very good job.

The Narrator made this book realyl come alive for me. The story was amazing, the character build up and power-ups of the MC was amazing. The whole concept of a time loop is sooo good, I am absolutely in love with this and I hope we get another audiobook when Book 2 uis released in August 2025!!

Stunning

The narrator is exceptional. I’ve listened to over 300books at this point and he’s easily one instantly in my top 5.

Superb
