Chapter 115 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 115

The narrator observes that SG Net has devolved into a toxic, game-obsessed platform, reflecting a mental pollution caused by an encroaching anomaly disguised as an 'Online RPG.' Forum users post guides and celebrate leveling up against slimes, goblins, and orcs, treating real-world anomalies as harmless mobs. Sim Ah-ryeon is shown happily beating slimes to level up her healing abilities, while the narrator notes the terrifying shift: the world is becoming a game, and anomalies are mutating to fit RPG tropes. Suspecting an Outer God, the narrator consults with Noh Do-hwa and Jeong Ye-ji. Noh Do-hwa agrees to officially declare the 'Online Game' an anomaly, though he doubts the effectiveness due to widespread addiction. Jeong Ye-ji agrees to pose as the 'operator' to curb the cult-like faith in the anomaly. The narrative flashes back to explain the timeline of this regression (Cycle 134). It began with mysterious messages from a 'Constellation' named Admin of the Infinite Metagame. Jeong Ye-ji confirms she never created this constellation, identifying it as an unknown entity. The narrator realizes this 134th cycle was merely a foreshock. In the subsequent 135th cycle, the anomaly escalates. Users on SG Net begin claiming they are 'logging off' or 'quitting' the game. However, these are not digital disconnections; they are physical disappearances. The narrator speaks with Mr. Undertaker, who confirms that most awakeners have died or fallen into comas—literally 'logged out' of reality. Those who wake up are catatonic until 'logging back in,' at which point they resume activity with no memory of the void. Sim Ah-ryeon returns from a three-day 'logout,' viewing the narrator’s waiting as an 'affection level' mechanic. The narrator reflects on the inversion of roles: the addicted players, now fully consumed by the anomaly, view the narrator and Noh Do-hwa as 'NPCs' because they remain outside the game's mechanics. The chapter ends with the narrator realizing the horrifying reality of their situation, likening it to a nightmare version of the butterfly dream, where the victims believe they are the players while the survivors are treated as non-player characters.
