Chapter 271 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 271

In the final days before the monster wave reaches Ark City, Gibraltar, the atmosphere is festive despite the scarcity of resources. Noh Do-hwa observes the celebrations with a detached but pleasant demeanor. When prompted by the narrator, she notes that acting serious among such 'clowns' is pointless and kicks the narrator's leg, surprised to find it is made of flesh and bone rather than metal. She then wanders off with wine, signaling a desire for solitude. The narrator observes the Mount Hua sect, led by Hong Bi-cheong, who rallies his disciples with patriotic fervor, unaware that his speech triggers system notifications boosting their morale and critical hit rate. The disciples chant system sounds, activating buffs like 'Heavenly Sanctuary' and 'Mount Hua's Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Formation - Last Stand Mode.' The narrator walks through the festival, passing Sim Ah-ryeon who drinks café au lait while contemplating her final artwork, and Nenet, who is exhausted after completing 'Babel 200kg No Aura Challenge.' The narrator eventually finds Lee Ha-yul alone at the coastline. Ha-yul appears frail, using an ordinary artificial leg and crutches instead of her advanced prosthetics. She admits she simply wanted to feel what it was like to walk without them. They sit together, and Ha-yul expresses fear that they will forget each other in the next cycle, describing the prospect of starting over as cruel. The narrator reassures her, citing Plato’s myth of merged beings split by Zeus, arguing that while their bodies may reset, their souls retain the memories. He declares his love for her, stating that every smile and breath is etched into his soul and that he will always stand by her, regardless of what happens. Ha-yul clings to him, calling him 'Oppa' and 'Dad,' and asks him to tell her future self that she was the happiest person in the world. The chapter concludes with the narrator reflecting on the nature of love as the reason for his regression, affirming that he too is the happiest regressor.
