A world destroyed. A lone warrior. A chance to start again.

Ever since he was little, Merrick had been blessed by the Great Spirits granting him an unusually strong connection to the Song of the World.

With his Warrior Ceremony approaching, Merrick was sure his greatest wish was about to come true, never expecting he was going to be thrown into a torrent of change that would threaten to sweep away his whole world.

Invaders from another world were beginning to creep into his people’s land, intent on devouring every resource they could find, and when Merrick offers to act as a guide for a rich young prospector’s group, he finds he may have bit off more than he can chew.

Fierce wolves stalk the dark, and poisonous insects hide under every leaf, but the true danger lurks in the hearts of his companions as he ventures out into the untamed wilds to seek a treasure he knows nothing about.

Armed with a Guardian Spirit he doesn’t understand and strange knowledge of the future, it will take every ounce of courage and fortitude Merrick can muster to make it out of the mountains alive.

Soul Caller

The series

Full series details →

In a world where silence can kill and sound holds power, Soul Caller draws readers into a hauntingly lyrical tale of survival, spirit, and sacrifice. It’s not your typical LitRPG fare—this series moves with the rhythm of the earth itself, layering progression fantasy mechanics into an immersive, slow-burning journey where magic isn't flashy, but rooted and alive.

Read full series description

Merrick doesn’t start as a warrior or a chosen one. He begins as a young man listening to the Song of the World—a force few understand and fewer still can hear. But when a sacred rite thrusts him into a wilderness expedition, what should have been a test of endurance becomes a brutal unraveling of everything he’s known. There’s something wrong in the world. Something ancient. And Merrick’s quiet gift might be the only thing standing between balance and collapse.

What sets this series apart is its atmosphere: brooding forests, bone-deep tension, and a magic system that hums beneath the surface rather than shouting from the rooftops. It’s a tale about inner growth as much as outer challenge, where leveling up means not just gaining power, but learning the weight of it. With each chapter, you’re pulled deeper into a world that feels as worn and wild as myth—earthy, dangerous, and alive with old secrets.

For readers who crave LitRPG storytelling grounded in emotion, nature-based magic, and character-driven progression, this series offers something rare: a fantasy that listens more than it speaks—and still leaves echoes long after the last page.
