Keeper of Totality

Infinityphoenix

B60/100
The death of the Hero reset the timeline — not what Lucy had intended when she made that last soul attack while dying. Returned to Earth, she attempts the obvious: use her knowledge of the future to dominate the System's five realms. Except things go wrong immediately. A Shard of Totality is now lodged in her eye, her Status is broken, and the Hero remembers everything — and has his own agenda involving her other identity, Adrianna Riftmire. She may be doomed. But as a master of soul magic and former Archmage, she is far from defenseless. This might just be her best chance to permanently defeat the Hero of Light, whose powers distort destiny to ensure his success.

Pyresouls Apocalypse

James T. Callum

C59/100
When the virtual reality game Pyresouls could not be beaten, it turned very real, unleashing an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. Years later, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth, where only ancient Guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from the game. When an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time falls into his hands, Jacob takes the plunge into the past of Pyresouls itself — armed with knowledge of game mechanics, secret loot, and well-honed swordsmanship. But every choice he makes has long-reaching ripple effects on the timeline.

100th Run: A Regressor's LitRPG Adventure

Flossindune

C58/100
The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens.

Anthony Franklin had a secret: he had lived through this exact series of events ninety-nine times in a row. Drawing on centuries of accumulated knowledge — every play, shortcut, and strategy — he must save as many lives as possible. He will contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever-watching eyes of the system administrators, and guard his back from scheming players with their own agendas. With every individual carrying their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Win or lose, his 100th run will be his last.

This time, he's not being anyone's hero.

Saving The Lich Queen

Matizu

C57/100
Thirteen years ago, the Lich Queen was merely Kai's quiet, awkward classmate at Lokora's Magic Academy. He should have defended her from her bullies. Luna's lich transformation killed thirteen people, burned the academy to disbandment, and left Kai in a coma — waking with an odd power: the ability to witness traumatic events through the eyes of the victim. When Luna returns to Lokora, Kai's power offers an unexpected opportunity: to return to the past, into the classroom where Luna is still a fourteen-year-old despised prodigy sitting alone at lunch. This time, Kai sets out to stop her transformation — until he learns that bullying alone may not have been what pushed her to darkness.

But fate has a way of forcing you to face your destiny.

Unknown magic flings him back in time, and he avoids the explosion. While unraveling the mystery of this unexpected second chance, his new gifts lead him to the magic academy.

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.

C51/100
When Aiden and a group of people are summoned to another world to stop the Demon King, the last thing he expects is for his brother to become the Demon King himself.

Armed with past experiences and knowledge, he has a second chance, and he has no intention of letting his brother become the Demon King again. The only problem: he doesn't think he's the only one who came back.

Healing and protection won't be enough to stop the apocalypse. He must abandon the sanctity of his old magic and embrace something far darker. Every choice reshapes fate. And every decision draws him closer to redemption — or ruin.

Luck Lockyer

But the death of everyone close to you can affect even the most stoic person.

It was then that Luck Lockyer, the Devil of the Cards, the Bloodless Hand, the Amber Demon, was answered by a being from another world.

System of Nil

Tim Paulson

C46/100
Nathan Cheng, known as Nil, is a game developer with four consecutive game jam wins — but a gaping hole in his heart from his sister's untimely murder. When he wakes up in an arcane world with a familiar System, he's given one mission: defeat the dark king, or die. Success means returning home on the day before his sister was killed. Only Nil's knowledge of the System — and his perfect memory — can let him advance fast enough to avoid being overwhelmed. The mechanics are far more complex than they appear, with thousands of hidden secrets waiting to be exploited. It'll take more than just brains. He'll need a mountain of grit and guts.

Fate Alchemist

Felix Taylor

C45/100
The demons won. The world ended. Wulf, one of the last survivors, is sent back forty-one years to prevent the apocalypse — starting over as a first-year at Istalis Academy with his advancement reset. There's a catch: he's been given a seemingly useless crafting class instead of his former fighter abilities. No one can know, or he'll be expelled. But the more Wulf learns, the more he suspects the class change is no accident — perhaps what mankind needs isn't just his future knowledge, but someone whose legendary class can change fate itself.
