“……Mercenary group?”41db885436b8cae6

The ‘Red Lion Mercenary Group’ was the group the player belonged to before the original story began. Although it wasn’t mentioned often in the game except for the beginning, I played the early parts so many times that I remember the name clearly.938a09ebb0db944f

<Infinite Regression High School Senior Hero>was a be19dd1a06 19+ horror 3d8ebaf490 game. It depicts the epic 3008791d89 journey of a loser 993c15533d protagonist who endlessly repeats 1228f73e0f his senior year of b2ffe2e1a5 high school to achieve 67c07882b4 a perfect score on a840f9e5c3 theCSAT, fulfilling his deceased parents’ wish….19c5b91b982f9696

I got goosebumps for a moment. No matter which character I’m possessed by in that game, it’s a no-win situation. If I’m the protagonist, I’ll suffer endlessly, and if I’m a side character, I’m one of the villains who bullied the protagonist.7c32333bf6b79644
