The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop

A LitRPG Adventure

By: X-RHODEN-X

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

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!

Entertaining

Simple but entertaining. Look forward to the next in the series. How will the MCs world continue to expand?

More please

This author seems like they love the genre but hate many of the things you find in these novels. My only complaint is so many names so early in the book left me lost on many occasions. Thanks for a straightforward approach without all the constant self doubt you find in many. If you keep writing like this, I'll keep spending the gold.

more please

i wish this was a 600hr long book, or i really hope there will be a book two.
i could easily have spent so many more loop's following this, so many skills to learn and discover.
soo many branches of loop's that could have been taken.

This one was a surprise.. Loop

what can I say... I hate books where the hero cannot die.. except this one. That's not even accurate really, he's op and a meat head... the story lacks interpersonal relationships.. and yet I loved this book. can't wait for more. I'm a simple guy, reading a book about a simple guy who just bashes his dumb head against everything brings me joy. If you like this as well it's worth a credit believe me.
