Chapter 24 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 24

The chapter begins with the Narrator, a regressor who has completed 555 cycles, expressing boredom in the Busan Station waiting area. He decides to use [Mind Reading], an ability acquired in the 554th run, to eavesdrop on the surrounding survivors. He hears mundane, panicked, or confused thoughts from various individuals, including Lee Jae-hee, Park Ye-dam, Lee Baek, and the repeatedly disoriented Sim Ah-ryeon. He notes his inability to read Go Yuri's mind and his familiarity with all present faces, rendering the power largely useless for discovery. To alleviate his boredom, he purchases five cans of Ceylon Tea in rapid succession, drawing disgusted stares and internal criticism from the other survivors, particularly Jung So-hee and Lee Baek. His focus shifts to Oh Dok-seo, a woman in a hoodie and cap who stands out due to her calm, analytical demeanor. The Narrator realizes she is aware of her reality as a fictional character in a web novel, referencing tropes like 'Omniscient Regressor's Viewpoint' and criticizing the lack of a holographic status window. Crucially, she possesses knowledge of future events, identifying Uehara Shino as a future high-level alchemist and predicting Sim Ah-ryeon's eventual rise. When Seo Gyu curses, triggering the Tutorial Fairy Number 264 to execute him, Oh Dok-seo remains unfazed, dismissing it as a cliché. She then identifies the Narrator as the 'Undertaker,' the protagonist, and mentally pleads for his help, falsely claiming he lost his 'first love' and guild leader Dang Seo-rin in the previous cycle. The Narrator is surprised by this misinterpretation of his past, as he recalls beating the Ten Legs easily and having no such loss. Despite his internal amusement at her ignorance and the potential utility of her eccentricity, he declines to join her group, stating he will simply observe. He then loots a Silver Bell from a souvenir shop, noting Oh Dok-seo's internal fear of his terrifying voice but her determination to manipulate him for survival.
