Author: J.R. Saileri

Ruling and developing a nation wasn't an easy task, but Asterios and his ladies always did their best nonetheless. Pushing forward new laws, systems, construction, and entertainment, they did whatever they could wherever it was possible. Not without a few issues, the new Dragon Guard was established, forming a connection with Lesser Dragons from the Phasmantia realm. The young wisdom-craving disciples were given their chance to learn about the world in the best possible environment, in exchange for offering service and protection to the growing Dragon Valley.

Now that everyone is settling into their new roles—the community flourishing amidst the improvements—Asterios and the girls can finally turn their attention to the long-awaited expedition into the Nethernight Realm, setting foot in the sealed world to grant the residents a taste of freedom. They are strong and well-prepared, accompanied by that dimension's very creator, but is that going to be enough? Even with Abyss' help, can they discover the source of the arcane lock hidden somewhere in that vast darkness? Nevermind that, are they going to be able to actually affect something of such humongous, nearly divine scale?

They don't know, but that's not going to stop them from lending a hand to one of their oldest friends and companions, no matter what challenges and battles await them in the world of darkest, vilest horrors.

Rise of the Weakest Summoner

The series

Full series details →

In a realm where strength is everything and Summoners command elemental beasts in battles that decide fate and fortune, one boy is marked as the weakest. Not average. Not underwhelming. The weakest. But that label doesn’t tell the full story.

Read full series description

Rise of the Weakest Summoner quietly subverts the rules of traditional LitRPG and fantasy progression tales, offering something more than a numbers game or a chase for power. At its heart is a protagonist who refuses to be defined by the expectations of others—or by a broken summoning circle. What starts as a tale of survival slowly morphs into a journey of connection, resilience, and unconventional strength.

Set in a world both brutal and beautiful, where magical contracts can forge friendships or chains, the series blends rich world-building with intimate character development. Each summoned companion isn’t just a tool but a presence—vivid, emotional, and deeply tied to the journey. The pacing leans steady and purposeful, with the tension building not just from battles but from the quiet weight of responsibility and the need to prove worth in a world that’s already written you off.

Fans of slow-burn fantasy, emotional bonds, and character-driven adventure will find themselves drawn into the layers beneath the surface. It’s not about becoming the strongest overnight. It’s about learning where real strength comes from—and who stands with you when the world expects you to fall.
