Chapter 279 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 279

The narrator, identifying himself as the Undertaker, observes that Oh Dok-seo's social ineptitude is primarily due to her roommate Sim Ah-ryeon's presence; without Ah-ryeon, Dok-seo is merely a socially oblivious writer. At a dinner meeting hosted to foster unity among NRMC leaders (Commander Noh Do-hwa, Operations Manager Yu Ji-won) and guild heads (Samcheon Guild Leader Dang Seo-rin, Baekhwa Guild President Cheon Yo-hwa), Oh Dok-seo abruptly asks the Undertaker who would win in a fight: Seo-rin or Yo-hwa. The question triggers a deathly silence at their table, perceptible only to those using Aura, as Do-hwa freezes mid-drink and Ji-won stops pouring soju. Dok-seo, unaware of the tension, presses for an answer, citing her interest in "who would win" debates. The Undertaker attempts to deflect by citing camaraderie, but Dok-seo persists, comparing their S-class and A-class rankings. The Undertaker mentally signals Saintess Jeong Ye-ji via blue-tooth for help; she initially succeeds in distracting them but returns to report failure as both leaders approach the Undertaker to force a drinking toast, interpreting the question as a provocation. With Do-hwa staring him down, Ji-won absent, and Lee Ha-yul already incapacitated and drunk, the Undertaker realizes all diplomatic options lead to disaster. Seo-rin and Yo-hwa, seated side-by-side, begin a verbal spar wrapped in polite threats. Yo-hwa shatters a glass deliberately, spilling contents near Seo-rin, while Seo-rin mockingly suggests medical checks for Yo-hwa’s tremors. Realizing he must intervene to avoid being crushed by their combined power, the Undertaker uses regressive logic. He suddenly stands and loudly agrees with Do-hwa, proposing a grand sports tournament to build solidarity. He specifically suggests an "Awakening Tournament" where he will not compete, leaving the championship open for Seo-rin and Yo-hwa to settle their rivalry legally. The crowd, including the previously hostile leaders, erupts in cheers, swept up in the excitement. Seo-rin and Yo-hwa abandon their aggressive posturing to embrace the tournament idea. The Undertaker survives the crisis, wiping his brow, and discusses naming the event the "AwakenCup" with the Saintess, who silently judges the mundane name.
