Chapter 196 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 196

The narrator, identified through the speaker registry as the Undertaker, reflects on the limitations of typical regression narratives where protagonists focus on training a small elite group. He argues that true systemic change requires a massive, scalable social infrastructure, comparing the scale of impact to Apple’s 150,000 employees rather than a small business owner. Consequently, he announces a heavy investment in the 'Kingdom Project,' a virtual reality simulation developed by Dream Musicians (DMs), to the Regressor Alliance. The alliance includes Noh Do-hwa, who expresses skepticism about the industry's morality but acknowledges the project's potential as a VR world for experience accumulation. Jeong Ye-ji raises concerns about the risks of transplanting real anomaly data (such as the Ten Legs) into the simulation, warning of potential void expansion and new anomaly generation. The Undertaker accepts these side effects as manageable risks compared to the benefits. To address the resource allocation for the Kingdom Project, the Undertaker convenes Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa, who immediately engage in petty, pride-driven banter representing their respective magical disciplines (Cursed Song and Necromancy). The Undertaker intervenes, revealing that both leaders currently employ excessive personal DMs (totaling 46) for leisure. He proposes a mandatory reduction in their private DM usage to staff the Kingdom Project. In exchange, guilds that actively report anomaly exterminations to the National Road Management Corps will receive priority draft rights to recruit talented players who emerge from the simulation. Recognizing the strategic advantage of accessing pre-vetted, high-level talent, both leaders agree to the terms, leading to a broader industry-wide reduction in private DMs and the consolidation of 120 skilled DMs under the National Road Management Corps. Writer A is appointed as the project manager, with the Undertaker guaranteeing her authority against internal dissent through violent enforcement. Two years later, the Kingdom launches to explosive public success. Participants praise its immersive realism, noting that it surpasses pre-apocalypse commercial games. Crucially, the simulation uses real-world data, making the NPCs’ struggles against the 'Ten Legs' raid boss eerily accurate. Participants, possessing the meta-knowledge of the apocalypse like regressors, optimize their playstyles to save the simulation’s population. The narrative concludes with Cheon Yo-hwa reporting the exceptional quality of new recruits generated by the simulation, marking a significant acceleration in the Korean Peninsula’s power growth through this scalable training system.
