The Regressor series by Wolfe Locke blends tower-climbing LitRPG with apocalyptic storytelling across six books. Tower of Ruin and its sequel set up the premise, while the four-volume Third Apocalypse arc expands the stakes to world-ending proportions. The regression element — characters reliving events with knowledge of what’s to come — adds a strategic layer to the progression.
Published between 2021 and 2023, the series is one of Locke’s more ambitious works, combining multiple sub-arcs within a single overarching narrative of survival and power growth.
