Stormborn Ascendant: A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure

By: K. H. Nulls

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland

They measure mana in drops. Tyler wields an ocean.

Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given. His reward? Constant agony and six figures of medical debt.

Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes up in the midst of alien ruins, barely able to stand and faced with a swarm of vicious monsters. He must accept a Curse just to survive—forever sealing his magic within his body and rendering most forms of power completely inaccessible to him. But with the upside of an enormous mana pool, Tyler finds himself thriving—even if it’s only with the force of his relentless physical might.

After all, most humans can barely train for an hour a day before their mana runs dry. With the potential for a body that never tires and a mind that never dulls, combined with the near-infinite pool of magical energy coursing through his veins...

Tyler will grow faster than the legends about him can form.

An action-packed blend of LitRPG Apocalypse and Isekai, featuring a weak-to-strong protagonist and a cultivation-heavy magic system. Perfect for fans of Road to Mastery, Defiance of the Fall, and Unbound.

Third time’s still a charm.

I’ve read this book on Royal Road, kindle, and now in audio and it is just as good the third time around. Something really sticks out about this series. Big fan of what K.H. Nulls is bringing to the genre. Worth your time in my opinion. Enjoy a rich and new take on LitRpg with more than a splash of cultivation. A genuine pleasure to read.

Summary is explicitly incorrect

he is stranded on an island (inexplicably) spends essentially 7 months training every waking moment with his nigh inexhaustible mana supply, compared to the supposed hour a day that everyone else can do at that time...
when he gets back to civilization he is barely a hair above average in a "backwater" area.
also the whole might makes right cultivator style behavior just felt way too abrupt and forced.
literally is just weak until the last 10 minutes of the book at which point he goes sudden god mode for the storyline.
