Title: THE APOCALYPSE ADMIN The System thought it could delete him. It was wrong. Ethan Cross spent ten years fighting in the apocalypse. He saw humanity fall, his friends die, and the world burn. In his final moments, standing against a Titan-class monster, he didn't pray for salvation. He prayed for a glitch. He got one. Ethan wakes up ten minutes before the System initializes. He has his memories, his combat experience, and one crucial secret: The coordinates of a Developer Node. By touching the Node before the servers go live, Ethan grants himself Administrator Access. Now, while other players are struggling to kill Level 1 Goblins, Ethan is editing the code. Need a base? He spawns a fortress. Need a skill? He grants himself a banned Unique-Class. Need money? He crashes the global economy before it even starts. But playing God comes with a price. His unauthorized access has triggered an anti-cheat protocol, and a mysterious "True Admin" is watching his every move. Worse, he isn't the only one who came back. The Apocalypse is cancelled. The Administration has begun.

In a brutal, dark reimagining of Tolkien’s world, heroes fall, destinies rot, and Gollum’s journey toward Moria draws the attention of an exiled Elf who sees in him something the Elves never gave her: truth, power, and hunger without restraint. Chosen kings. Broken vows. Obsession born in moonlit blood. Middle-earth is cracking—and something terrible is answering the call. Oh and Gollum accidentally ate the ring and now he is the ring.

Eliana “Lia” Javier was the worst spoiled in the entire empire Spoiled rotten by the Emperor, despised by her brilliant brothers, and married off to a duke who looked at her like something he’d scraped off his boot, her only legacy was selfishness. Then her brothers voted to send her to rule the Empire’s doomed northern fortress—a frozen hell overrun by monsters. She died there three years later, alone on a crumbling wall, her only regret that she hadn’t been better. She should have stayed dead. Instead, she woke up in a modern world with her memories intact—along with her three equally traumatized, equally silent brothers. They lived a second life as elite soldiers, drowning in regret and too emotionally stunted to say a single word about it. They died (again) without ever breaking the silence. Now, two cosmic IT Administrators have shoved them back in time with a System, a party chat, and a mandate: “Fix your family drama and save the North, or we’re deleting your save files. Permanently.” Reborn in the carriage carrying her to exile, Lia has three hours until she reaches the teleport temple. Three hours until her doomed life begins again. This time, she has a HUD, a psychic link to her brothers, and absolutely zero patience for anyone’s bullshit—including her own. Armed with modern tactics, 21st profanity, and the grim skills of a soldier who’s already died twice, Lia is done being the spoiled princess. The North is falling, her brothers are racing to catch up, her cold husband has no idea what’s coming, and the System Admins are watching. One wrong move, and it’s game over. For real this time.

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness. This is the story of Louis Drakeheart and his journey through madness and enlightenment as he claims his true title: the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince". What to Expect: -A death loop where the main character returns to fixed points in time after each death, retaining all the power he has built up. -Deep world-building and a vibrant, living world that feels alive and immersive. -A unique power system: the Spiral of Madness/Incarnation inspired by Lord of the Mysteries Sequences and Metaphor Refantazio Archetype System. -Powerful, near impossible to defeat antagonists that will force the MC to accumulate strength across multiple lives to finally defeat them. -Strong focus on weapon techniques, cultivation, magic, and familiar bonding. -A romantic subplot that develops across multiple lives. -Dungeon crawling combined with fast-paced progression. -Countless mysteries, multiple worlds to explore, kingdom building (later down the line), and much more. -High stakes and emotional storytelling mixed with great side characters.

"Disaster comes from the sea. Behold, this is the truth behind your prosperity..." "I am the emperor! Why can't I have a golden palace?" "Let the flames burn a little longer! Hmm, isn't this a form of purification?" "Hmm! I'm not interested in history or anything like that, but you seem to lack some proper respect for the emperor?" … Mary Geoise, a red figure stood on the throne. "For your hell, let us give you a thousand thunderous cheers!"

After the Forsaken War, the heroes stood victorious. The Hollowed Ones were destroyed. Their leader was slain. The world was saved. What followed was meant to be a Golden Era—an age of peace promised by blood and sacrifice. But the war did not end when the battles stopped. It lingered in the minds of the victors. Paranoia replaced hope. Fearing the rise of another catastrophe, the heroes began to interfere with fate itself. They sealed powers, altered destinies, and justified every sin as necessary. In their desperation to prevent another war, they made choices that could not be undone.

Shawn was bitten by a zombie on the very first day he arrived in the world of The Walking Dead. Just when he thought he was finished, he unexpectedly awakened the “7 Days to Die” system. In this apocalyptic world overrun by the undead, he wielded a massive warhammer, striking fear not only into zombies—but also into the hearts of the surviving humans. From Quarry Camp to the Prison Fortress… From Southeast Atlanta to the entire United States… With the system in hand, Wu Shou crushed everything in his path, climbing to the top step by step on a mountain of corpses. Yet sometimes, even he felt confused. "Weren’t zombies supposed to be endless?" "So why do there seem to be fewer and fewer the more I kill?"

Offending a deity was my biggest mistake… but sending me to this world will be theirs. Thomas was a programmer until the day his life ended. His true ordeal began in the afterlife, when his insolence provoked a deity. His punishment? He was sent into the body of Zelyn, the illegitimate daughter of a Demon King. Being the fruit of the union between a Demon King and a common demon is a physical sentence. Zelyn's lineage is too dense for her body; it is high-level software trying to run on faulty hardware. When she tries to manifest her fire, the flames are not projected, but instead cling to her skin, consuming her alive. However, for a programmer, a curse is just a bug in the code. Thomas does not see magic; he sees variables and logic. While others limit themselves to inheriting power, he analyzes it. Understanding that he cannot project fire without destroying himself, he uses his knowledge to manifest cold flame: a low-temperature, pale blue fire that acts as an insulating barrier. By covering his hands with this almost invisible combustion, Thomas creates a safe zone that allows him to hold the real fire of his lineage, transforming a deadly weakness into gloves of lethal flames. Without allies, without privileges, and rejected by her own blood, Zelyn must survive in a world that expects her self-destruction. "If this world insists on crushing me with its rules, I will use my logic to break the system."

When a devoted fan of A Song of Ice and Fire opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Westeros. Not as a king. Not as a lord. He became Suleiman, a nameless minor knight under the impoverished Daddings family, living by the muddy lower reaches of the Green Fork in the Riverlands. No gold. No soldiers. No influence. The family ruled over barely fifty peasants and held a status so low they were nothing more than silent figures in the corners of noble banquets. Before him stood the crushing weight of eight thousand years of aristocratic hierarchy. Yet in a land torn by war and shifting tides, this outsider from another world began his climb. From the mockery of “Sir Stinky Castle” on the edge of a swamp… to the throne of the Trident itself. In Westeros, even the smallest pawn can become a king.

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too deep into the planet. By breaking the planet seal, the Domains from another dimension began to emerge. The Deep that destroys cities with a tsunami, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the girls into Witches. They became existences that could reshaped the world at the cost of going insane. In their rampage, they destroy the world and then began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing. The salvation of Celestia. “Fuck off.” Was what Aether said to all of them. “You bastards thought you could tear me from my world, and make me your obedient weapon?” Aether then laughed. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your schemes. But instead, I will love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he continued laughing without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And he stepped into the new world with a smirk. “And I plan to make sure. No Witch escape my love.”

He learns to adapt and rebuild, carving out a future from the remnants of a fallen empire.

The world is a masterpiece. To Elara, it’s a masterpiece full of typos. In the Empire of Aetheria, magic is a divine gift—a shimmering tapestry woven by the gods. But where others see holy light and unstoppable spells, Elara sees the Fraying. She sees the knots that shouldn't exist, the unstable ripples in space, and the fundamental errors in the "code" of reality. Born as a lowly servant in the High Mage’s manor, Elara lived a life of silence, watching as the elite fumbled with their "perfect" spells. To them, a fireball is a manifestation of will. To Elara, it’s a poorly optimized sequence of heat and friction. When a catastrophic "Reality Glitch" threatens to erase her city, the High Mages fail. Their prayers and chants do nothing. In the chaos, a simple servant girl steps forward. She doesn't chant. She doesn't pray. She simply reaches out and plucks the thread. Now, on the run from an Empire that fears what it cannot control, Elara must navigate a world that is slowly unravelling. She isn't here to learn magic. She’s here to debug it. What to expect: Logic-Based Progression: No heavy stat-sheets, but a deep, consistent magic system based on understanding and manipulation. Competent Female Lead: A protagonist who wins through observation, intellect, and exploiting the "bugs" in her enemies' powers. World Mystery: Why is the world glitchey? What lies beyond the Fraying?

Napoleon Bonaparte shaped Europe with wars, treaties, and new laws. His name filled maps, thrones, and textbooks. His son had none of that. Born in a palace, raised behind guarded walls, he never commanded armies or held power. He lived under supervision, watched by diplomats, used as a symbol, forgotten by history. The father became an emperor. The son became a rumor. A modern engineer opens his eyes in a dim royal nursery in 1811 Paris. Turns out, he was reincarnated as Napoleon the Second. And he knew the fate of the child of Napoleon, about his short-lived life, or if there was a life for him at all. Refusing this fate, he would alter the course of history using his modern knowledge in history, politics, and science.

Four years ago, a God-like being descended upon Earth and passed its judgment on humanity. Pollution. Mass extinction. A planet on the cusp of irreversible damage. Humanity was deemed guilty. As punishment and atonement, the human race were forced into the Trials. Batches of 1000, randomly chosen humans were brought to an unknown area and forced to fight until they either won or… didn’t. After four years, None had managed to pass the 22nd trial. That was, until Gabriel Lucien
