Chapter 116 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 116

The narrator, identifying as the Undertaker, reflects on the nature of anomalies as 'bewitched' entities that reside within names and words. He explains that using aliases prevents anomalies from gaining a fixed 'home.' He identifies the current global phenomenon as an anomaly he named the 'Logout Game.' The narrative shifts to the desolate state of the SG Net forum, where only a few users, including the persistent Sim Ah-ryeon (playing as 'OldManGoryeo'), remain. The Undertaker, Noh Do-hwa, and the Saintess have retreated to live by the Han River after abandoning their headquarters, finding solace in each other's company amidst a world where most awakened ones have logged out and become petrified or dead. The Saintess volunteers to test the anomaly, entering the game to investigate the fate of the missing players. She successfully logs in and presses the 'logout' button, but instead of returning, she freezes completely. The Undertaker and Noh Do-hwa wait for agreed-upon intervals (ten seconds, three minutes, and finally, a lifetime), but she does not return. The Undertaker concludes she is dead, informing a frozen Noh Do-hwa before leaving her body behind. He spends the next day mourning and preparing, realizing the game has turned reality into fiction. The next day, a message from the Admin of the Infinite Metagame appears, claiming an emergency patch fixed a bug. The Undertaker realizes this is a lie. He decides to expose the anomaly's true form. Over the next 11 years, he systematically destroys dungeons and monsters to force another 'patch.' When that fails to reveal the anomaly, he continues his rampage for another 37 years, destroying cities and villages. The world becomes static and broken, with time flowing only in his memory and space existing only within his body. The narrative concludes as the Undertaker reflects on his endurance, waiting for the outer god to drop its mask, knowing he is the only remaining 'impurity' in the void. The final timestamp notes 212 years have passed.
