[You are a '1st turn' Regressor.]
The first time he chose to go back, he thought that he was given a great opportunity – an opportunity to survive the scenarios by possessing more information than everyone else.
[You are a '2nd turn' Regressor.]
When he chose to go back for the second time, he began thinking that this life wouldn't be as easy as he thought.
And, after witnessing his comrades die over and over again….
After losing the person he loved so much….
….He finally realised that he was destined to experience the same pain many more times in the future. As the price for possessing more information than anyone else, he had to lose his precious comrades many more times.
[You are a '3rd turn' Regressor.]
During his third try, he thought that maybe this was a curse.
「Just how many more lives like this one am I supposed to go through?」
He realised that, if he were to get to the end of all the scenarios, he needed to kill off his emotions, that he must not live his life. And so, he decided to become not 'Yu Joong-Hyeok', but the 'Regressor', instead.
The fourth time, fifth…. The timelines that he might've had experienced, but a certain someone's unexpected words stopped him from regressing again.
– Being able to regress at any time is the same as having no meaning in 'dying' anymore. However, there being no meaning in dying is the same thing as the value of living disappearing, too.
– Yu Joong-Hyeok, you need to wake up. What I'm saying here is that, don't mistakenly believe that things will get better by repeating them over and over again.
That was why Yu Joong-Hyeok chose not to regress. He gave up on several new 'lives' where he could've started off from a higher vantage point while possessing more useful information than before.
[You have entered the 'Middle Island No.3'.]
Along with the blinding rays of light, he finally arrived on the 'Middle Island No.3'. Participants who had arrived alongside him looked around and murmured to themselves.
[What is this place?]
[Weren't we supposed to head straight to the 'Main Island'?]
Yu Joong-Hyeok simply unsheathed his sword.
[Hidden scenario – 'Snatching Modifiers' has begun!]
And then, the slaughter began in earnest. The rampaging storm of crimson-coloured sword light sliced the heads of the Constellations off. There was not one shred of hesitation in Yu Joong-Hyeok's blade. He carved out the hearts of the Incarnations and smashed apart the backs of the escaping Constellations' heads.

[You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Beachfront Tactician'.]
There were a few supposedly-tough enemies here – enemies that would've been difficult to fight against were he in the original 3rd turn of regression. However, Yu Joong-Hyeok was able to defeat them rather easily.
「The weakness of 'Birch Tree's Scorpion' is located below its tail.」
「You must attack the 'Sovereign of the Crescent Moon' repeatedly until the starlight on his head fades away.」
The Yu Joong-Hyeok of the original storyline wouldn't have known that information. Indeed, he'd only get his hands on them after going through the 4th, 5th, 100th, even 1000th regressions.

[You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Sovereign of the Crescent Moon'.]
The Yu Joong-Hyeok of the 3rd turn knew all those information of the future he hadn't yet lived already.

Icy-cold rage thickly permeated that voice.
And I knew that voice better than anyone.
