Chapter 205 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 205

mc_narration (Undertaker) brings Jeong Ye-ji (Saintess) into a Time Seal tomb, revealing the interior landscape to her for the first time. They find a recreation of Kim Joo-chul's happiest memory: a football stadium. However, instead of cheering crowds, the stadium is eerily silent, with over 10,000 people, including Kim Joo-chul himself, in a state of suspended animation. Undertaker determines they need to enter the dream to investigate. Using the Tutorial Fairy's power, they delve into the minds of the unconscious victims. The scene shifts violently to a burning, chaotic stadium. Half the audience is in ruins, and people are screaming, fighting with makeshift weapons, and rioting. Kim Joo-chul, initially defensive with a baseball bat, recognizes Undertaker and breaks down in tears, revealing he has been trapped in this loop for over 1,000 days. He explains that the anomaly began as a 'Regression Virus,' spreading when individuals started remembering the previous day's events. Unlike a normal Time Seal where memories reset, here, awareness persisted. Initially, people tried to alert authorities, but the government and the outside world remained unaffected because the Time Seal only constructed the necessary area for the dream; anything beyond Kim Joo-chul's daily routine was shallow or nonexistent. The virus spread from a bar to the entire Seo-gu district of Busan, but never beyond it. When citizens realized the government ignored their pleas due to the daily reset, they attempted to stage a massive riot to force intervention. While this caused significant casualties and drew police attention, the reset erased all progress and memory from the outside world. Despair set in as society collapsed; the inability to die permanently destroyed the value of life, leading to moral and social breakdown. Kim Joo-chul, guilt-ridden, blames himself for the curse, but Undertaker clarifies that the people are illusions and the loop is an anomaly. He identifies the phenomenon as 'Valhalla,' a state where the dead fight endlessly in a repeating day, and promises to fix the situation alongside the Saintess.
