100th Run
Flossindune
100th Run is a Regressor LitRPG / System Apocalypse progression fantasy following Anthony Franklin, who has lived through the apocalypse 99 times and now has one final chance — his 100th Run — to save humanity. The world is devolving into chaos as a game-like system reduces the population to statistics and screens. Unlike everyone else struggling to survive, Anthony retains full memory of 99 previous loops — every play, shortcut, strategy, dungeon, boss pattern, and system trick. He must use that knowledge to gain a powerful class, unite fractured factions, outwit vindictive system administrators, and defeat escalating world bosses before his last chance expires.
Progression: System Apocalypse + Regressor Time-Loop Progression: A game-like System overlays reality, converting people into statistics, screens, classes, skills, levels, and leaderboards. Dungeons, raid bosses, scenario bosses, world bosses, and tower climbs (e.g., Emperor's Ascent in the Empire State Building) provide structured advancement. Anthony Franklin is a regressor with 99 loops of foreknowledge, allowing him to exploit optimal class choices, dungeon routes, and guild/leaderboard mechanics. Additional structured systems include: the Dealer's weapon-forging quests, Patron/Zodiac avatar factions (tower climb to win Patron favor), safe-zone tournaments (Chaos Cup), world events (Vespae invasion, Pitt undead labyrinth, Star Spangled Shadow Invasion battle royale for top 50 MVPs), and an apocalyptic final boss (Dalogro, Demonic Emperor) guarding the Hall of the End. System administrators actively surveil and alter rules to counter Anthony's foreknowledge, forcing adaptation and mastery of new skills under time pressure. Each book escalates scale from city defense (Etson) to cross-country quests, guild formation, and Hell incursions, with clear rank/level and gear progression central to survival.
