Chapter 122 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 122

In the first cycle before becoming an Awakener, the narrator (Undertaker) reflects on his past morality, noting he never gambled despite re-rolling his life over 1,000 times. He stands with Lee Ha-yul outside a casino anomaly in the void. Ha-yul expresses curiosity about entering, but Undertaker first tests the threat level by slashing the building with his cane-sword, Do-hwa. The structure collapses, causing panic among the occupants. Tiny creatures, identified as Tutorial Fairies (avatars of the Fairy King), rush out in terror, blaming each other for the 'earthquake' and fearing purging by comrades. Undertaker captures all 27 fairies using Ha-yul’s spider silk. He interrogates them, demanding to know why they exist, as they were thought to have been destroyed when Infinite Void was sealed. The fairies reveal a shocking political truth: they are not subservient to Infinite Void but were oppressed by a puppet dictator, the Fairy King, created by Infinite Void. After Infinite Void’s defeat, the fairies liberated themselves and formed a revolutionary faction, operating the 'Dream Casino' to fund their cause and build an independent community, disguised under revolutionary rhetoric. Ha-yul, eager to explore, coerces the fairies into giving a tour. They discover the caravan’s missing members sleeping in the hotel above. The fairies explain that guests trade 'time' for 'Fairy Coins' (1 hour = 1 coin) to gamble for dream experiences. A detailed menu shows escalating tiers: basic dreams (10 coins), enhanced senses (50), location control (100), dream companions (1,000), relationship/identity manipulation (2,000-3,000), VVIP perfect lucid dreams (10 billion), and VVVIP time-dilation (100 billion). Maximum daily exchange is 9,000 coins. Undertaker questions their true nature. They admit to being Baku, Dream Eaters (Succubi/Incubi), whose powers were stifled by the Fairy King’s rule. Ha-yul impulsively buys 9,000 coins. Suddenly, a middle-aged man from the caravan stands up, vacant-eyed, muttering that he lost his full loan in baccarat and must now work for the 'Fairy Revolution Club' for ten years. The fairies cheerfully confirm this debt slavery. Undertaker concludes the casino is an insane breeding ground for anomalies.
