Apocalypse Redux

Isaac Thoma lived to see the last handful of survivors defeat the demonic champion. He is now alone, his past in ashes, the last and most powerful human on a blighted Earth. When an artifact hurls him back in time, Isaac has one chance to change it all — to warn humanity of their impending doom and stop the System before shortsightedness and lust for power can render humanity extinct. Facing malign deities, demonic hordes, and the unstoppable march of human greed, Isaac will give his all to prevent the end that has already happened.

Humanity might have died out once, but Isaac got a second chance, returning to the time when the System initialized. Grasping this chance, he worked tirelessly to bring his future knowledge to the masses — but even so, some disasters are inevitable. After large swaths of LA were destroyed by a Lightning Elemental, the world is reeling from the consequences, while Isaac's own actions have radically changed how the apocalypse will play out this time. Can he save the world from itself, or will he have to watch it end for a second time?

The System was intended to be humanity's salvation, but it turned out to be a double-edged sword. Following a series of successful efforts in Europe, Isaac travels overseas to spread new ways of leveling, gather allies, and gain power in the Dungeons that have cropped up. The whole affair would be manageable if it were not for the cult trying to destroy his work, the looming threat of another System Event, and the ever-present danger of humanity's darkest impulses. Will humanity stand proud and stop the first demons to emerge in this new timeline, or be swept away in a flood of hellfire?

Monsters that can destroy cities have appeared. The most highly leveled humans begin to abuse their power. And as levels rise, individuals start to rival militaries all by themselves. Isaac has seen this dance before and vowed never to allow it to repeat itself. Yet no matter what he has achieved, his work is never done. A sanity-destroying Dungeon must be hunted down, the next Event is right around the corner, and there will be no chance to rest for months on end — even as something stirs in the dark.

The enemy has been discovered, the battlelines have been drawn, and the world will never be the same. A major battle in downtown Hamburg has practically leveled the metropolis, demonstrating in the worst possible way how much power individuals can hold. The world is reeling — but more members of the cult responsible are still out there. The political response is predictably ineffective regulation that lets real monsters grow in strength while strangling efforts to save the world. Can Isaac fight against the whole world while beating the cataclysm the System has brought with it — or will he watch humanity end for a second time?

When magic came to the world, it gave humans the power to transcend all limits — but in the end, it became the tool mankind used to destroy itself. Now, one man has traveled back in time to try again. A colony has been put on the moon, the deepest seas are being explored, and new miracles are created every other day. Yet in the shadows lurks a group that has decided Earth and its inhabitants are doomed and has sold out to dark forces beyond reality. Can Isaac manage to stay on top of everything — fighting monsters, playing peacemaker between factions of incredible power, and standing against those who represent humanity's darkest impulses?

Without a common enemy to unite against, humanity teeters on the brink of self-destruction. Isaac has prevented one apocalypse, but now faces a more insidious threat: humanity itself. Grand plans for a perfect world are crumbling as superpowers prove to be no cure-all, and societies shatter under pressure. With threats lurking everywhere and global power levels soaring, can Isaac and his friends keep the world from tearing itself apart without becoming the monsters they fight against?
