World Reset

World Reset — A betrayed survivor restarts eight years earlier to change the outcome of a reality-warping game launch.

Eight years after the neural-immersion game ECLIPSE replaced reality with lethal rules, Ethan defeats the world-tier boss Nidhogg and obtains the Dragon Core, an artifact capable of rewriting the world. His closest allies Marcus and Rachel murder him for the Core, but the item rejects Marcus and activates an unknown power that rolls the entire world back to the hours before ECLIPSE launches. Ethan awakens with full memory of the coming collapse and resolves to claim the Founder's Chip first, secure critical resources ahead of rivals, prevent past tragedies, and expose the secret agenda of NEXUS Corporation.
