Chapter 225 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 225

The Undertaker (Go Yuir) recounts the mental exhaustion of the 244th cycle, where his comrades appeared to have lost defining traits, effectively becoming different people. He sought to identify these changes to counter a mysterious anomaly. His investigation began with Dang Seo-rin, who had abandoned her witch persona and train obsession, behaving like a generic soulless individual identified by the Undertaker as a 'Yu Ji-won' rather than the Great Witch. He then confronted Seo Gyu, who hid his hair and nerdy interests, prompting Yu Ji-won to advise the Undertaker to stay out of it. The Undertaker tested Noh Do-hwa, expecting her characteristic MZ-generation disdain for patients, but found her kind and non-discriminatory, confirming she was not her usual self. He similarly found Jeong Ye-ji uninterested in aquariums and preferring lizards, and Cheon Yo-hwa refusing to address him as 'teacher' or wear her signature white sailor uniform. Even Rika (Manyo Neko) had abandoned her cat-like speech patterns. The shock extended to subtle details, such as Old Man Scho drinking hazelnut Americano instead of his usual café au lait, leading the Undertaker to despair and retreat to the Inunaki Tunnel. There, he questioned his sanity, considering if he was dreaming or a brain in a jar. Yu Ji-won remained calm and loyal, suggesting the Undertaker wear a wig for Seo Gyu to restore his memory, but this failed; Seo Gyu interpreted the act as a request for violence. Attempts to provoke Do-hwa's anger or restore Seo-rin's witch aesthetic also failed, resulting in physical abuse or threats. The Undertaker realized his regressor mentality was cracking, not from world destruction, but from the loss of his friends' quirks. Yu Ji-won offered a rational analysis: it was more likely the Undertaker's memory was warped, making him the only one who perceived the changes, rather than an Outer God altering everyone across cycles. She suggested the anomaly was hiding traits, starting small (hair, fashion), to lull the Undertaker into complacency before hiding more significant aspects like personalities or abilities in future cycles. Suddenly, Yu Ji-won’s Mini Map ability malfunctioned; her chess pieces moved autonomously, forming a Taegeuk symbol and causing the map to float. Noting this subtle power shift despite her consistent personality, the Undertaker suspected an anomaly was attached to her. He ordered a descent into the ground to test a hunch. Digging through dense earth with Aura, they broke through to a hollow space. Peering out, they discovered a massive underground world illuminated by a sun, confirming the Hollow Earth Theory as the cycle's defining anomaly.
