Chapter 109 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 109

The narrator, known as the Undertaker, reflects on his abilities during the 173rd regression cycle. While the Time Seal is his foundational power, he relies on Complete Memory to recall past lives, though a tiny 0.01% of his memory remains blank, leading to unpredictable events caused by the Butterfly Effect. In this cycle, the Butterfly Effect manifests unusually when the Saintess of National Salvation begins speaking in a cat-like manner, greeting awakeners with 'meow.' The Undertaker finds this deviation amusing rather than threatening, filing it away as a new memory before resuming his duties. However, the consequences of unchecked variables soon become grim. The Undertaker discovers the corpse of Noh Do-hwa at the National Hospital rehabilitation center. Unlike previous runs where she survived the early apocalypse, Noh Do-hwa has died in a looter and anomaly attack. Her body is fresh, indicating a recent death, and her usual protective role was bypassed due to the chaos. The Undertaker mourns silently, recalling their past interactions where he gifted her expensive Pu'er tea to gain her trust and secure her leadership of the National Road Management Corps. He remembers her final request to be left unembalmed and unseen, a wish he honors by not inspecting her body. After paying respects, he tracks down and eliminates the looter cell responsible, noting with satisfaction that Lee Baek was among them, proving that people rarely change. He then proceeds to Beijing to suppress the source of the Butterfly Effect. With his usual second-in-command for the National Road Management Corps dead, the Undertaker turns to his backup choice: Dang Seo-rin, the Great Witch. He presents her with a PowerPoint presentation titled '101 Reasons Why You Should Lead the National Road Management Corps.' Dang Seo-rin is initially overwhelmed by the excessive flattery regarding her leadership skills, governance of Busan, and dedication to the public good, causing her to panic and beg him to stop. Embarrassed but convinced, she accepts the role. The Undertaker notes that he cannot tell Dang Seo-rin he is a regressor due to a binding curse from a previous run, which forces him to maintain a facade of normalcy. Despite this constraint, Dang Seo-rin proves to be an exceptional leader, quickly expanding the Corps' influence and developing new strategies, such as using 'Equivalent Exchange' magic for dispute resolution and recording her Cursed Song Incantation to improve public morale. The chapter concludes with the Undertaker observing her innovative contributions, validating his decision to explore this new political path in the face of tragedy.
