Chapter 273 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 273

The Undertaker reviews a manuscript detailing the suffering of the Saintess in the 267th cycle, revealing that she endured nearly two millennia of isolation after confining an Outer God. He shares this with Oh Dok-seo, who confirms her hallucinations are actually loops of these past cycles. She explains that her newly Awakened ability, Side Story Creation, allows her to possess characters she writes about, initially experiencing their pain as a form of 'Divine Illness' until she channeled it into writing, which alleviated the suffering. The Undertaker identifies the figure before him as the Saintess of the 267th cycle, possessing Dok-seo's body through this empathy-based possession. The Saintess explains that while she retains the personality and memories of the original character, she is technically an interpretation powered by the Admin of the Infinite Metagame's enhanced resolution. Convinced of the ability's fidelity, the Undertaker commissions Dok-seo to write a side story about Noh Do-hwa of the 668th cycle to gain access to that cycle's experienced leader. Dok-seo completes the story instantly. They travel to the National Road Management Corps headquarters, where the Undertaker forces Dok-seo to possess Noh Do-hwa, resulting in two identical, irritable Noh Do-hwas glaring at each other. The Undertaker revels in the chaos, noting the utility of creating multiple doppelgangers for amusement and strategic consultation. He spends the next week isolating himself in the tunnel, constantly consulting with possessed versions of Dang Seo-rin, the Saintess, and others to solve problems and brainstorm. The Saintess, watching via Clairvoyance, grows increasingly concerned about his reclusive behavior, comparing him to an internet addict and pleading for him to leave the tunnel. The chapter ends with the Undertaker realizing he has been holed up for over a week, acknowledging his addiction to these virtual consultations despite the Saintess's sorrowful reminders to get fresh air.
