Chapter 332 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 332

The narrator, previously known as the Undertaker and now referred to as Mr. Matiz, reflects on his dynamic with Yu Ji-won, noting that while he has changed his persona, she has remained constant, preserving a deep personal connection symbolized by her use of his past title. The scene opens in the National Road Management Corps headquarters, where Yu Ji-won greets Mr. Matiz with intimate familiarity, offering him chamomile tea and recalling his past insomnia. This public display of closeness draws the attention of Cheon Yo-hwa, who asks why Yu Ji-won uses the alias 'Mr. Matiz' instead of a formal title. Yu Ji-won dismisses the question as an expression of exclusive personal connection, akin to Yo-hwa calling the narrator 'Teacher,' though she teasingly notes her seven-year advantage over Yo-hwa in establishing this bond. The tension in the room, where other alliance members like Noh Do-hwa and Seo Gyu watch, is lightened by Oh Dok-seo’s whispered excitement about the 'rivalry' between Yu Ji-won and Cheon Yo-hwa. Noh Do-hwa interrupts the banter to resume the meeting, outlining the crisis of the Hollow and the limitations of the Alliance's funeral rites. She introduces a new Missing Persons Board on SG Net, facilitated by Seo Gyu, which utilizes memorial portraits by Sim Ah-ryeon. The meeting then shifts to a letter from Venerable Seok-hwa, a renegade monk seeking to conduct a 'Trans-Korean Joint Funeral Service.' The narrator provides extensive exposition on Seok-hwa’s history. In previous cycles, Seok-hwa led the massive New Buddha Church, a cult worshipping the Udumbara virus that spread across East Asia, rivaling even Dang Seo-rin’s influence in Busan. The monk’s power was initially unassailable until the narrator, as the Undertaker, discovered the virus's source in the 41st run, exposing the cult as a fraud. Simultaneously, the rise of Mo Gwang-seo, a literal resurrecting 'Jesus' figure, siphoned away most of Seok-hwa’s followers who preferred flashy miracles. Finally, the appearance of Sim Ah-ryeon, a healing entity, decimated the remaining faithful. Stripped of his power and wealth, Seok-hwa now resides in a shabby hermitage. The narrator visits him in the 802nd cycle, where the once-arrogant monk grovels in gratitude for the visit. The narrator confronts him about the funeral procession, ending the chapter with the realization that Seok-hwa’s current misery is a direct consequence of the narrator’s existence as a regressor who dismantled the monk’s empire.
