Chapter 357 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 357

In the seasonal-less city of Utopia, Dang Seo-rin sits motionless on a beach bench, surrounded by blooming flowers despite her intense phobia of them. She remains silent as her companions suffer Corruption, appearing entranced by the surreal, timeless environment. The Undertaker (mc_narration) approaches and sits beside her, initiating a quiet conversation. Seo-rin acknowledges the pain she caused during the week Ah-ryeon was Corrupted, admitting she was shocked by her own feelings and the realization that she was merely one failure among the Undertaker's 999 previous cycles. She expresses guilt for not foreseeing the cruelty of his quest for a 1,000th life, where she would be a burden. The Undertaker dismisses her self-reproach, affirming she is not a burden. Seo-rin reveals a past incident where the Student Council President, Cheon Yo-hwa, attempted to kill Oh Dok-seo while Seo-rin was isolated, but Dok-seo blocked the attack with an Absolute Barrier. Seo-rin probes the Undertaker’s priorities, noting his immediate focus on saving the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) in the 267th cycle when the world became a 'bonus stage.' He confirms this, revealing he carries a silver bell from Busan Station as a constant reminder. Seo-rin expresses her own contradictions: wanting him safe from pain but also wanting him to think of her, even if it means thinking of her death. The Undertaker accepts his own weakness and contradictions. Seo-rin then offers him a flight on her broom, a rare gesture of intimacy. They ascend through the atmosphere, bypassing hostile auroras that part ways for the Undertaker. They reach space, where the Earth below is unnaturally flat, a result of the Outer God Nut’s contamination. Upon landing on the moon, which is described as a pristine, mirror-like silver platter rather than a cratered rock, Seo-rin asserts their privacy, noting even the Saintess’s Clairvoyance cannot reach them. She confronts the Undertaker with her deductions: Nut, the Night Goddess, behaves differently in this cycle because the Monster Wave did not destroy Utopia, yet Nut still attacked them before the wave arrived. Seo-rin points out that Nut can enter his sealed Time Seal while others cannot, and that Leviathan reacted violently to Nut’s influence in the Pacific. She concludes that Nut feeds on the Regressor’s time just as she does, and asks him if Nut is essentially just like her.
