Chapter 192 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 192

The chapter opens with an exposition on the societal hierarchy in a world governed by random awakened abilities, noting a surprising trend among children under ten: the desire to become writers. This literary craze is traced back to the 206th cycle, following the establishment of the Dream Casino in the Inunaki Tunnel. Initially, the casino catered to base desires, allowing patrons to purchase dreams of food, drink, and companionship. This intervention revived workforce productivity among ordinary citizens and Awakeners alike. However, dissatisfaction soon arose due to a fatal flaw in the Dream Casino’s service: the lack of spontaneity. Patrons found that pre-scripting their dreams ruined the immersion and emotional impact, feeling more like interacting with AI than living a life. While the narrator, identified as Go Yuri, dismissed these complaints as the whining of the satiated, other Awakeners began to see a market opportunity. A specific Awakener, driven by ennui with standard whiskey dreams, notices a flyer for 'Cocktail Bar Mori,' promoted by a writer. Despite the writer’s unprofessional appearance and the high price, the Awakener pays 500 won for an unspecific dream experience. At the casino, the writer instructs the tutorial fairy to let the guest enter without specifying parameters. The Awakener dreams of arriving at a cramped, authentic Japanese-style cocktail bar in Apgujeong, Seoul. He is greeted by a Japanese bartender who serves him a perfect 'Godfather' cocktail. The experience is remarkably realistic and spontaneous; the bartender shares personal stories about his Korean wife, and the conversation flows naturally without pre-scripting. The Awakener is deeply impressed by the authenticity and emotional connection, forgetting he is dreaming. He becomes a regular, and within a month, the bar fills with customers, including his guildmates, marking the rise of a new, spontaneous dream service that challenges the status quo of the Dream Casino.
