Regression
The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player.
A survivor has one attempt left to finish a death game, and the final chamber requires a party.
Also known as: The Max-Level Player’s 100th Regression · 만렙 플레이어의 100번째 회귀
Why read it?
Look for what prior-run knowledge can do when survival depends on people the veteran can’t simply replace.

Plot and turning points
- The previous run reveals the actual win condition
On attempt 99, the system kills Min at the final chamber because he has no teammates with him. Attempt 100 is described as his last.
Characters and factions
- Min and his future party
Min brings experience from earlier attempts. The remaining positions must be filled by people he can bring through the game this time.
World and lore
- Survival alone is insufficient
The system enforces a five-person entrance requirement. The published setup establishes a count and the cost of violating it. Particular jobs and trust rules are outside the synopsis.
Powers, rules and limits
- Regression has a finite horizon
The second chance at the opening is explicitly the last attempt. Knowledge of the gate is a concrete gain from failure even though the original attempt is lost.

Original game concept
Core loop
Use one failed route as a forecast, allocate rescue time among potential allies, and make four credible commitments before the final departure.
- What the player decides
- Give a scarce resource to a reliable ally or risk it on a recruit whose ability covers a gap in the party.
- First playable test
- Six candidates, four openings, and one shared deadline. Show each recruit’s reason for staying and test whether different credible teams can reach the gate.
