Intro
Guest enjoyed reading web novels.
They especially liked the web novel called "Heroic Tale of the Regressor Hero."
As the title suggests, it's a hero regression story. It tells the story of a hero who fails to subjugate the Demon King and regresses using the power of the Holy Sword. Guest had followed the novel for a long time, loving how it handled the complex designs and twists unique to regression novels, as well as the descriptions of the protagonist's emotions and determination.
But...
Me entering the novel is a different story!
This novel hadn't even reached the middle, let alone the ending.
In other words, I have to survive this dark fantasy, where twists keep coming, using only early-to-mid-game knowledge...
I quickly organized the information I could remember in a notebook.
