Master Hunter K
From Hell
Without warning, humanity is transported en masse to a colossal extradimensional stadium — a deadly arena where every person is armed and ordered to fight. In this System Apocalypse, survival depends on clearing sequential Raids against hordes of powerful monsters with strangers chosen at random. Billions die in moments, but a glimmer of hope remains: if even one person completes every raid, humanity will be redeemed and restored. With no saves, revives, or retries, one man discovers an exception to the game's rules — the ability to retain knowledge from a failed timeline — and uses regression, raid mastery, and hunter growth to challenge history repeating itself, even as selfish Trolls sabotage the salvation of mankind.
Progression: System Apocalypse Raid-Trial progression: All of humanity is displaced to an arena dimension and given weapons/abilities. Progression is measured by sequential Raid clears of escalating difficulty against monster hordes (including Trolls and boss-tier entities). Hunters grow stronger via combat experience, ability gifts, and tactical mastery; failure is permanent (one life, no retries). The protagonist Master Hunter K adds a Regression/Time-Loop layer — retaining memories of a prior failed run — allowing foreknowledge exploitation, optimal raid pathing, and incremental power growth. Allied trust and raid teamwork vs. monopolistic betrayal drives the ladder. Explicit LitRPG elements: raid tiers, hunter/Monster levels, ability awakening, and trial completion as the quantitative advancement metric.
