Chapter 149 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 149

In the 593rd cycle, the narrator, known as Undertaker (Go Yuir), immediately initiates a plan with Oh Dok-seo after extracting her from the Busan Station Tutorial Dungeon. He bypasses social pleasantries, acknowledging the inherent tension caused by his regression knowledge and her status as a 'Book Possessor' with foresight of the original story. He introduces the concept of 'speedrunning' to explain his goal of defeating the Outer God, 'Admin of the Infinite Metagame,' as quickly as possible. He presents a laptop displaying the constant query, 'What is this world?', which serves as the battlefield against the Outer God's definition of reality as a game. Undertaker explains that the Admin defines the world to bewitch its inhabitants, forcing them to accept its rules, such as logout mechanics. He notes that Sim Ah-ryeon resisted this because she fully immersed herself in the SG Net system, whereas he resisted by refusing to accept the game definition. The conflict is a stalemate: the Admin cannot delete him without cause, and he cannot force the Admin to accept his view. Undertaker argues that Oh Dok-seo’s unique position as a 'Book Possessor'—an exception in narrative structure—allows them to bypass this stalemate. He types his proposed answer into the laptop: 'This world is a speedrun game livestream.' He illustrates that a livestream features both the game character (the protagonist) and the player (the streamer). By defining the world as a livestream, he posits that real humans (players) coexist with anomalies (characters), thereby negating the Admin's claim that the world is *only* a game where logout equals death. He warns Oh Dok-seo that the upcoming tasks will be terrifying and difficult, but she agrees to follow his lead, shaking his hand and declaring they will clear the 'trash game' together. Immediately, the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) contacts Oh Dok-seo via telepathy, announcing the start of the 'Logout Game' speedrun. Undertaker deliberately kept Oh Dok-seo unaware of the Saintess to maintain the illusion of a constellational livestream for her. The Saintess praises Oh Dok-seo’s potential as a speedrun candidate and officially initiates the fastest speedrun in the world.
