Chapter 12 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 12

The narrative opens with the Undertaker (Go Yo-il) being directed by the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) to locate a user known as 'OldManGoryeo.' The Saintess confirms the identity via Clairvoyance, noting the user's alias on SG Net. The Undertaker views Sim Ah-ryeon as a minor character, essentially 'ExtraB' in his survival hierarchy, recalling her as a weak 2-star healer from previous regression cycles who was expendable. He initially feels little attachment, though he notes her journey from Busan to Pocheon with a hint of sadness. The Undertaker knocks Sim Ah-ryeon unconscious and brings her to his living room, where Lee Ju-ho enters and expresses shock at seeing the 'Healing Angel'—a local celebrity known for healing illnesses and caring for children—involved in online trouble. Lee Ju-ho clarifies that Sim Ah-ryeon is a school nurse and guild member who has been curing serious conditions like cancer for a year, contradicting the Undertaker’s memory of her as a mediocre healer. He asks if she is indeed the troll OldManGoryeo. To wake her, the Undertaker throws a soda can at another captured individual, OldManGoryeo, who is actually Sim Ah-ryeon in disguise or dual-role. She awakens, and the group confronts her. Lee Ju-ho hypothesizes that she became an internet troll to vent stress from her demanding healing duties. Sim Ah-ryeon denies this, explaining her power is not just standard healing but a unique ability called 'Grudge Orb.' This ability converts hatred and curses directed at her into enhanced longevity and healing power for others. In the previous world, lacking a platform for mass hatred, this power was dormant. However, SG Net provided a perfect environment for generating aggro, turning her into a potent healer. The Saintess observes, confirming she did not realize the connection between the healer and the troll. Sim Ah-ryeon apologizes for unknowingly cursing Lee Ju-ho’s father but justifies her actions by her need to accumulate resentment to help patients. Lee Ju-ho accepts this, deciding to let the matter rest. The scene shifts to SG Net, where OldManGoryeo continues to troll, posting provocative comics about Lee Ju-ho’s father. High-profile users like the Sword Marquess and CookingQueen respond, while others mock a previous antagonist, ZERO_SUGAR. The Undertaker observes the chaos, noting the efficiency of her strategy in gathering aggro. Finally, the Undertaker attempts to log in via a secondary account to investigate the trolls further, but the Saintess warns him against it, ending the chapter with his restrained frustration.
