Echoterra: Rise of the Verdant King
When the world ended, Clayton Hunt was just another street survivor scavenging for scraps, fighting for breath in a crumbling society on the edge of ruin.
Then the sky cracked open, and the Genesis Protocols began.
Dragged into Echoterra, a nightmarish trial world where survival rewrites your very soul, Clayton awakens. Not as a man, but as a seed… a goddamn seed!
Stripped of his body, his memories locked behind suffocating layers, he must claw his way upward from the dirt, evolving into something far beyond human.
The first trial is brutal and simple.

Facing monstrous rivals, parasitic invaders, and the harsh reality of nature’s cruelty, Clayton battles not only to grow but to dominate; harnessing a feral, plantlike instinct he never knew lurked inside him.
Along the way, fragments of his past leak through, reminding him who he was… and hinting at the terrifying power he might yet awaken.
But survival isn’t enough. In a world where strength writes the law and weakness spells extinction, Clayton won’t just grow. He’ll thrive.
And when he finally returns to the real world, it won’t be as a scavenger.
It will be as a conqueror.
Shameless 5 stars because it's my work. It's a classic weak to strong story, but with an unconventional progression, at least to me. I poured my heart into it, it's enjoyable. Try it out and make your decision. Have any questions? Don't hesitate to throw them at me here.
amazing character motivation, love the 'push for more or lose it all' energy so far, quite aggressive mc with a reason to be lol 😆, man's got a heart though. Great choice to read and like a tree (or wine 😃) it'll only grow with age. authors done a great job. keep em coming :)
So far to me this story is amazing I need more!
This book has potential, grammar is great, story flow so far so good, MC is still somewhat human without taking much away from him being non-human, not dragged thankfully, things are looking up and hopefully the author can keep it up till then I'll be a reader
Okay, maybe it’s because I’m biased towards non-human MC’s, but this story has a lot of potential and what is already there, has me hooked! Got caught up to present in one sitting, and I’m loving everything so far! Clayton feels ruthless, but pragmatic, smart and he’s growing on me faster than mushrooms on miss (forgive the bad comparison, I wanted to put something plant related, let me have this lol) truly, genuinely excited to read more, author, lmk if you do a Patreon, I need every chapter you have, ASAP!!
A truly refreshing read. I enjoyed this one, 5 stars.
