After the End: Serenity

Lillene

C51/100
At the end of everything, the Final Reaper won — but it was a hollow victory. Having killed everyone who wronged him or his people, he was left utterly alone. When Order's Voice offered a chance to reset the multiverse to an earlier time in exchange for most of his power, the choice was easy: start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. Landing in his old body, the Final Reaper becomes Thomas again — and chooses a new name for a new life: Serenity. He has ten years from the moment the Voice arrives to prevent Earth from losing the second round, as it did before. It will require a group effort, which is difficult for someone who has been alone for longer than he can reckon. A system apocalypse story designed so that a large percentage of humanity can survive and prosper — if they work together.

Mage Among Superheroes

Halosty

C49/100
Turlough is a mage — and an orc, generally considered less intelligent than humans, born with the Curse of the Barbarian that limits him to leveling only through combat. In his home world of necromancers, dragons, and invading armies, that would be manageable. But an unprecedented peace reigns across the land, leaving little opportunity to advance. When he spots a portal in his master's study, he steps through hoping to find a horde of demons. Instead he ends up in a modern city full of skyscrapers and people in colorful outfits: superheroes — and, of course, supervillains. What dangers and opportunities await him in such a strange world?

Digital Rebirth Chronicles

Robert Hinshaw

C49/100
Noah didn't expect much from entering the VR world of Asgard's Fall. Even the experimental full-immersion technology didn't deter him — it beat living in a nursing home and offered a chance to feel young again. But something is wrong with the game. The gods running it don't behave like AIs, and some players act as though they know secrets Noah doesn't. Forced to use skills abandoned a lifetime ago alongside new digital abilities that resemble ancient magic, Noah must unravel the mysteries of Asgard's Fall — and confront an ancient threat that has forced a hidden world into the light.

In the second, he became a knight fighting in a war against a callous enemy. There are others like him — thresholders, always in opposition — and it's becoming clear that hopping from world to world is going to be his way of life. Now he finds himself in a place doing its best impression of Victorian London, facing a new enemy that will test all the knowledge and power he has accumulated so far.

With nothing left to lose, he gambles everything on it — fighting his way up through academies, guild politics, and rising threats, skill by skill and battle by battle.
