Chapter 114 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 114

The narrator, operating as the Undertaker, initiates a public relations campaign on the SG Net forum to warn awakeners about the 'Status Window,' labeling it a harmful anomaly that weakens human intuition and obscures the true nature of the void. He argues that relying on quantified data prevents genuine growth and that the 'white mist' of ignorance is essential for narrative and personal depth. His warnings are met with ridicule; users mock his stance as outdated, comparing it to historical figures who opposed convenient infrastructure. Even the Sword Marquess supports the Status Window, albeit for flawed reasons, further isolating the Undertaker. Conceding defeat in the battle for public opinion, the Undertaker shifts strategy. He collaborates with the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) to hijack the anomaly's credit. At the precise moment the Status Window activates for all Korean awakeners, the Saintess broadcasts a false narrative that the system is a gift from the Constellations, specifically herself. This deception succeeds; the public attributes the Status Window to the Saintess's benevolence, directing all faith and gratitude toward the Constellations rather than the anomaly. The Undertaker considers this a strategic victory. However, the victory is short-lived. Sim Ah-ryeon bursts into the hideout, excited rather than distressed. She reveals that the Status Window has evolved beyond a simple stat check; it now displays damage numbers, experience points, and a leveling system. Sim Ah-ryeon demonstrates by striking a slime, triggering a 'DAMAGE!' notification and a level-up sound effect. She proudly announces her ascent to Level 14. The narrator realizes his earlier victory was premature; the Status Window was merely a preliminary phase or aftershock of a larger, more insidious anomaly. The true nature of this new development is identified as an RPG (Role-Playing Game) system, which fundamentally alters the mechanics of combat and progression, far exceeding the simple quantification he had tried to combat.
