Chapter 29 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 29

The narrator, the Undertaker, introduces the Gangnam Void Crisis, where Seoul was ravaged by voids. To survive, specific buildings remained intact by harnessing void energy, becoming high-level dungeons. One such location is the 'Tower of Sauron,' a skyscraper that swallowed all previous occupants. Early military efforts to clear it, dubbed 'Operation Ariadne,' failed catastrophically when soldiers tied together with ropes were dragged inside by glass doors that transformed their lifelines into titanium. The Undertaker, seeking to avoid boredom in his regression cycle, recruits Sim Ah-ryeon for a 'staycation' at this hotel. Despite her terror, she agrees. Upon entering, they discover the interior is pristine and fully functional, defying the exterior devastation. The Undertaker explains that the void mimics reality; the exit doors are now a separate space containing a staff member, inaccessible from within. He emphasizes that voids demand adherence to their internal logic: just as soldiers in military gear were likely treated as terrorists and killed, they must act as guests. He presses the button for the 79th floor to check in. As the elevator ascends, he warns Ah-ryeon that understanding the void's 'personality' is key to survival. The chapter concludes with the elevator doors opening onto a lavish, smiling lobby, confirming the void's deadly, deceptive hospitality.
