Chapter 152 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 152

The chapter opens with a narrative analysis of Oh Dok-seo’s character, describing her as a 'literary girl' who rejected the harshness of reality—defined by betrayal and forgetfulness—in favor of the consistency found in fiction. Her extraordinary memory led her to view real humans as 'carnivals' that consumed themselves by forgetting their actions, causing her deep disillusionment. She sought solace in fictional characters, who possessed the integrity and memory that reality lacked. This mindset set the stage for her encounter with the novel 'Omniscient Regressor's Viewpoint' two weeks before being summoned to Busan Station, which was revealed to be a deliberate gift from the Admin of the Infinite Metagame to appoint her as his apostle. In the present, the narrator (Oh Dok-seo addresses him as 'Mister') explains the nature of their conflict. The Admin designed the novel to make Oh Dok-seo wary of the narrator, viewing him as a ruthless regressor based on data from his early cycles (up to the 4th). The narrator clarifies that while the Admin possesses extensive data on his past, the slow update rate (covering only the first 33 cycles despite the current 593rd cycle) means the anomaly cannot understand his current self or his evolved morality. He reveals that he knew Oh Dok-seo was an apostle for some time, evidenced by the novel's increasing updates, yet chose not to kill her upon regression. He argues that betrayal is negligible for a regressor with infinite resets; he trusts her because he remembers her loyalty across hundreds of cycles, even if she betrays him in the current one. This reassurance resolves Oh Dok-seo’s anxiety about being manipulated into becoming his enemy. She realizes the anomaly’s plan relied on their inherent distrust, which failed because the narrator defied the predicted outcome. Deeply moved by his trust and acceptance of her potential betrayal, Oh Dok-seo makes a solemn promise to save him from the 'damned world.' The narrator accepts this with his typical wry humor, noting he has heard similar promises many times before but affirms his trust in her. The chapter concludes with the pair preparing for a full-scale operation to confront and defeat the Admin of the Infinite Metagame directly.
