Chapter 108 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 108

The Undertaker reveals that the Inunaki Tunnel, a continental-class anomaly that previously claimed hundreds of lives across five regression runs, has been converted into an exclusive café hideout at a depth of 1200 meters. While the tunnel remains deadly to intruders, the Undertaker utilizes a specific strategy to navigate it safely, sharing only limited, segmented access codes via 'invitations' to trusted acquaintances. He invites Noh Do-hwa, the National Road Management Corps Chief, to inspect the facility. Noh Do-hwa initially scoffs at the notion of privatizing an anomaly and feigns indifference, but the Undertaker demonstrates the café's atmosphere: a meticulously designed Baroque space featuring artificial waterfalls, mutated aquatic plants, and comfortable seating, all shielded from the tunnel's lethal dangers. He explains that invitations are graded by depth (100m, 200m, etc.), with deeper levels offering better amenities and serving as a motivational tool for awakeners. He proposes cultivating coffee beans from void-infused plants, requiring land allocated by the Sword Marquess. Noh Do-hwa reluctantly agrees, citing the need for luxuries and the potential for improved morale among the Corps, though she remains skeptical about the land use. The café quickly gains popularity, with awakeners competing to reach deeper depths for better coffee varieties. Public discourse on SG Net reveals a hierarchy based on invitation depth, with Baekhwa Girls' High members receiving default 200-meter access. The Undertaker refuses to upgrade Sim Ah-ryeon's grade despite her requests, fearing she would demand ever-increasing privileges. Later, the Undertaker invites Jeong Ye-ji, the Saintess, to the deepest level. He reveals he has created a direct tunnel connection from her home in Yongsan by manipulating the Inunaki anomaly to infect abandoned Han River tunnels. Upon arriving at the 1200-meter mark, they walk through a stunning glass aquarium tunnel filled with starlight jellyfish and void creatures. This environment, an inverted universe of light and water, deeply moves the Saintess, who has long viewed the world as hell. She expresses profound gratitude for the beauty and privacy of the space, marking a significant emotional moment for her. The Undertaker notes that this café has become a regular stop on her morning walks.
