Chapter 106 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 106

The narrator, operating under the alias Mr. Undertaker, reflects on the conclusion of a protracted strategic war against the Inunaki Tunnel anomaly, which had consumed all tunnels in Japan and monopolized their associated fears. Viewing the conflict as a chaotic chess match, he notes that while the anomaly had countless 'pieces' (stories/fear), humanity possessed only 72 pawns. However, the narrator leveraged 145 cycles of regression, treating each failure as data to refine his strategy. He systematically eliminated threats and updated the 'Inunaki Tunnel Strategy' logs based on death row inmates' final moments. In Cycle 145, with no inmates remaining, he ordered the final push, instructing Yu Ji-won to monitor maps and leading Magical Girls Manyo Neko and Phantom Blade into the tunnel. Inside, the group faced psychological traps; the anomaly mimicked voices of deceased comrades and mentors to lure them back. Manyo Neko nearly broke under the weight of a broken promise to a lost friend but was steadied by her own logical deconstruction of the promise's vagueness. They reached the exit, where the tunnel’s name reverted to its original, uncorrupted form, Soroji Tunnel, revealing a mass grave of Magical Girls’ corpses. The subjugation was marked complete. The epilogue reveals that while other tunnels healed, a fictional undersea tunnel connecting Korea and Japan remained active, hinting at future complications. In a subsequent timeline (Cycle 146), the narrator returned early to farm the anomaly and encountered a younger, uncorrupted Manyo Neko and another Magical Girl. Using snacks, he befriended them to secure their cooperation in blocking the tunnel entrance. Upon leaving, he took a picture of the blocked tunnel, which developed to show the message: 'Welcome back. This is the seventh time, isn't it?' This implies the anomaly remembers a regression cycle that does not exist in the narrator's known history, suggesting a missing or altered timeline.
