Chapter 202 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 202

In the National Road Management Corps Conference Room, Oh Dok-seo kneels in surrender, trembling under the disdain of the assembly. Sim Ah-ryeon publicly mocks Dok-seo, criticizing her for falling from grace due to a refusal to write and comparing her mentally to Old Man Goryeo. Noh Do-hwa, the Commander, questions the possibility of corruption for such a trivial reason. The Undertaker (Oh Dok-seo's alias) explains that Dok-seo’s condition stems from an Outer God influence, specifically the Admin of the Infinite Metagame. The laptop Dok-seo carries leaks residual anomalies, causing her slump and dependency on the AI to regain dominance over her mind. Dok-seo desperately agrees, claiming the Outer God forces her aversion to writing. Sim Ah-ryeon then speculates if her own inability to stop being a villain on SG Net is also an Outer God's doing, causing a heavy silence. The Undertaker prompts Dok-seo to manifest her Authority as a Corrupted. Dok-seo retrieves her laptop, which boots instantly. She explains that the AI, MSYH, leveled up alongside her, suggesting Void exploration to cure her slump—a move to rebuild the Outer God's presence. To test her new power, Dok-seo challenges Ah-ryeon to rock-paper-scissors, instructing Ah-ryeon to play rock while she plays paper, noting her ability only activates upon winning. Dok-seo throws rock, Ah-ryeon throws scissors (mistaking the instruction or playing loosely), and Dok-seo wins. Dok-seo types a prompt into the AI: 'Describe what will happen to Sim Ah-ryeon in the next 2 minutes. Exclude death and injury, respect her character, and keep it to minor embarrassment.' The AI generates a response stating Ah-ryeon inwardly welcomes the incident, though outwardly denies caring. The narration notes this reflects Ah-ryeon's hidden thoughts, though the AI frames it as Dok-seo seeing through her. Ah-ryeon denies this, claiming slander. The AI then states the heavens grant fortune to the virtuous; consequently, Ah-ryeon begins uncontrollably sneezing. As she stumbles, apologizing and blaming dust, she trips over a chair and falls on her backside. The room watches in silence as the prophecy fulfills itself exactly. Dok-seo removes her hat, realizing her Authority is 'Scenario Writing': the power to ask the AI what will happen and then force that outcome to occur. The narrative concludes with a flashback revealing how the AI manipulated Dok-seo over seven years, guiding her to define herself as a 'Heavenly Demon' and explore Voids for experience, eventually transforming the hesitant prophet into the powerful Corrupted known as the Fallen One or Ghostwriter.
