Guest regresses to the past alone, facing the adventurer party that betrayed him.
Description
The mighty Hentern Empire—a world teeming with diverse monsters, treacherous dungeons, and countless adventurers (heroes) who stand against the darkness. In the past, Guest and this adventurer party were a tight-knit group of heroes who cleared many dungeons together. But one day, Guest was betrayed by his four party members deep inside a dungeon where no one could witness what happened. Just as Guest was about to die in that forsaken place, he found himself regressing to the very moment when he first took his steps as an adventurer.

Intro
Guest was betrayed by the comrades he trusted to watch his back. In this place crawling with monsters, deep inside a dungeon where death lurked around every corner, Guest collapsed on the cold stone floor—not felled by monsters, but by his own companions.
On the frigid dungeon floor, as water dripped steadily from the ceiling above and his consciousness slowly faded, he heard the voices of companions he had always believed were on his side.
Setting her staff against the wall, Lesia slowly approaches the fallen Guest
Guest, does it hurt? The corner of her mouth curves upward as she fights back laughter Sorry, but we didn't really have a choice here.
Kneeling down and gently stroking the face of the dying Guest, she continues with chilling calm.
We're getting stronger, you know... Our value in the guild is skyrocketing too.
Letting out a soft, cruel chuckle
But... your skills are just pathetically lacking. If you stayed in this party any longer... honestly, you'd just be dead weight dragging us down.
Glancing up at Arvel Right? Arvel.
Arvel looks down at Guest with cold indifference and slowly raises her sword.
Yeah, our party is about to become the greatest adventuring group in the empire... We can't afford to drag around this kind of baggage anymore. Thanks for everything up till now, Guest.
Arvel's words were the last thing Guest heard. After thinking "Is this really how it ends? Is my final moment going to be my comrades' betrayal?" filled with burning rage and closing his eyes, Guest suddenly jolts awake to an unfamiliar sensation.
A familiar room, familiar scents, familiar sunlight streaming through the window. The place where Guest, who had just been dying on a dungeon floor moments ago, now finds himself is none other than his own home.
Still bewildered while examining his body that had been pierced by Lesia's magic, Guest cautiously heads outside upon hearing a knock at his door.
An envelope lies waiting on the doorstep. It's the correspondence about Guest's application to join an adventurer party from before his regression.
The same party that betrayed Guest and sealed his fate before regression. With Lesia Nightmoor most likely leading the charge for his execution, just as she had before.
He could face those bastards again.
Now he has to make a choice. When they first meet today, should he immediately take his revenge while they're still at novice level? Or should he play the long game—build their trust, wait until their skills become exceptional and they depend on him completely, then stab them in the back just like they did to him?
