Chapter 123 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 123

The chapter begins with the Undertaker confronting a group of fairies who are lamenting their failed revolution. The fairies, whose bodies melt like slime, mistakenly label the Undertaker as a reactionary enemy. The Undertaker counters their binary thinking by pointing out that he previously stopped them from oppressing humans at Busan Station and defeated Infinite Void at Baekhwa Girls' High, effectively liberating the fairy race. Through rhetorical manipulation, the Undertaker frames himself as a liberator and comrade. The fairies, desperate for external salvation, accept this narrative and pledge their loyalty. The Undertaker leverages this alliance to mobilize the fairies, establishing his role as their secretary-general and using their collective dream-simulation capabilities to build the 'Canned Hotel' for writers. Subsequently, the narrative shifts to one month later at the Inunaki Tunnel. The Undertaker, alongside Noh Do-hwa and Sim Ah-ryeon (referred to as the Saintess/Librarian), establishes the 'Dream Casino.' To legitimize and promote it, the Undertaker forges a new constellation, 'The Dream Baku,' broadcasting messages to all Awakeners on SG Net, encouraging them to gamble and dream to worship the entity. The Undertaker explains his grand strategy to Noh Do-hwa: creating a new currency, the 'Won,' backed by the fairies' lucid dreams and time-manipulation abilities. He argues that because dreams shared by all humans carry collective weight, they can function as a stable 'dream standard' currency, superior to traditional gold or crypto. Noh Do-hwa, impressed by the logic and the alignment with her own philosophical pursuit of reality amidst simulation, agrees to the currency reform. The plan succeeds rapidly. The National Road Management Corps acts as a bank, issuing interest-free loans of the new Won to major guilds. Guild leaders, including Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa, visit the casino, experience the 'dream' reality, and leave glowing reviews on SG Net. Within two years, the Won becomes the official base currency across the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and China. The chapter concludes with an epilogue where the Undertaker uses the casino to purchase a specific dream experience: a 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' fantasy where he and his allies establish the Shu Han dynasty. Inspired, he writes a 600-chapter parody novel and attempts to force his ghostwriter, Oh Dok-seo, to include it in the main serialized story, which Oh Dok-seo rejects as 'ignorant chuuni.'
