The Rune Wars: Book 1: The Hive King

The first book in the Rune Wars series. The Observer tells us the story of the Rune Holder, Jerrick the Hive King. Jerrick a young man with a few loose screws, has found the first Rune in millions of years. The Rune give him the power to create hive monsters to sate his bloodlust. Now he must not only fight against the Federation of Humanity that hunts him, but also those of ancient races of the galaxy trying to destroy the new Rune Holder. To add to all his new problems, he now has to deal with a Hive god attempting to manipulate and use him. I am posting this story on Royal Road under the same username. Warnings and info in the auxiliary chapter. I am not an artist, so the cover is AI art I found online. Plan to eventually pay for covers for each book.

Info

This is book 1 in the series. Each book will be between 50K-100K words. Chapters will be between 1500-2000 words. The books are told in the first person with the occasional break to the actual "authors pov". You'll understand what I mean after reading the first chapter.

This series is litrpg but it's pretty lite. The "system" is more there to show the mcs progress and aid the mc at the start of the journey as one of the "rune holders". Do not expect the "system" to be giving rewards for achievements or anything of that nature. This is not a game and overall there won't be much of the usual mechanics you see in litrpgs.

This universe is very dark. Expect things such as slavery, murder, supstance abuse and more. I do not condone such behavior but unfortunately they are very real, and I will show the darker side of this world often. This is your warning, any complaining of "dark or inappropriate" content will be ignored.

Each book in the series is about a different "rune holder". You may see previous mcs or characters from past books, but the mc will be different in each book.

This story is both fantasy and sci-fi, expect advanced weaponry and technology, as well as fantasy settings. It will kind of have cultivation, not traditional cultivation though.

I think thats everything but I may update this in the future.
