Chapter 231 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 231

The narrative shifts to the SG Net, the sole online community for Awakeners, which is depicted as a chaotic mix of ages and experience levels dominated by the administrator Seo Gyu. The Undertaker (mc_narration) posts an anonymous video titled 'Surviving the Ice Age - Day 1,' documenting the National Road Management Corps' expedition to Sinuiju. The video quickly gains traction, revealing key figures like Noh Do-hwa, Yu Ji-won, and the Saintess of the North (Cheon Yo-hwa). Viewers react with shock to the presence of these high-ranking officials and discuss the severity of the -120°C Ice Age Anomaly. A user named LiteraryGirl speculates that Noh Do-hwa and the Undertaker are a couple, a theory that spreads despite the characters' silence on the matter. Inside the Statue of Liberty, which serves as the Anomaly's lair, the group reveals their counter-strategy. The Undertaker explains that the Ice Age Anomaly is an 'otaku type' that cannot distinguish between imagination and reality; therefore, the live broadcast is treated by the entity as a genuine report of the Corps' destruction. By broadcasting a narrative where the team is wiped out, the Undertaker aims to convince the Anomaly that its victory is absolute, trapping it in a loop of perceived success rather than reality. Yu Ji-won and the Saintess prepare to 'escape' while Noh Do-hwa volunteers to stay behind with the Undertaker to simulate freezing to death, arguing it preserves her image as a heroic Commander. The team executes the plan: Yu Ji-won and the Saintess leave, and the Undertaker films the collapse of the miniature Statue of Liberty model, which triggers a real-world structural collapse due to the Anomaly's distorted perception. Trapped in the rubble, the Undertaker uses his Aura to simulate freezing while protecting Do-hwa. Do-hwa places her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, in a moment of quiet intimacy as snow falls around them. After filming the 'death,' they upload the final video. The internet erupts in panic over the perceived deaths of Do-hwa and the Undertaker. Once the engagement peaks, the Undertaker locks the videos, trapping the Anomaly within the digital archive. The chapter concludes with the two enjoying a vacation, followed by a call from Dang Seo-rin, who questions a kiss shown in the fabricated death scene, which the Undertaker struggles to explain as merely Anomaly-induced fiction.
