Chapter 366 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 366

In a surreal, shifting environment, the protagonist, referred to as Undertaker, engages in a conversation with Go Yuri. Despite her usual ability to provoke intense, overwhelming impulses in him, he feels an inexplicable calm, attributing it to Cheon Yo-hwa’s hair tie, which acts as an anchor to reality. Go Yuri confirms the tie’s significance as a relic of will and reveals she distinguishes between the twin sisters Cheon-hwa and Cheon Yo-hwa, identifying more with the former. She invites the protagonist to follow her, demanding he step strictly in her footprints to avoid danger, warning that even Cheon Yo-hwa could not protect him if he strays. He agrees, and they proceed toward the ruins of Dang Seo-rin’s former flower shop in Busan, now part of Hecate’s divine realm. As they walk through the decaying city, Go Yuri explains the metaphysical nature of Anomalies, likening them to layers of an onion or a nine-fold palace. She clarifies that the Magic Mirror Yu Ji-won possesses is a degraded copy of the moon, which itself resembles a mirror because ancient concepts of utopias were modeled after them. She asserts that beauty draws such replicas, citing Yu Ji-won’s allure. Simultaneously, Dang Seo-rin appears repeatedly, warning the protagonist that Go Yuri is a trap and an Anomaly like Cheon Yo-hwa. She begs him not to follow, using emotional manipulation and feigned vulnerability to stop him. The protagonist, recognizing the manipulative nature of this Seo-rin and understanding the structural logic of the realm, ignores the warnings and continues to follow Go Yuri’s steps. Go Yuri outlines the five necessary conditions—or 'steps'—to reach the inner core of this dream-within-a-dream: the absence of Yu Ji-won, Sim Ah-ryeon, Lee Ha-yul, Oh Dok-seo, and Cheon Yo-hwa. When the protagonist asks for her role, she reveals herself as the sixth step, the 'nonexistent human' or ideal form. They arrive at the 'Dang Sect Flower Garden,' a greenhouse that appears intact despite being destroyed in previous timelines, a result of Cheon Yo-hwa’s simulation overlaying the dream. Go Yuri explains that the door to the final stage can only be opened during the 'leap year' moment—the surplus day that calendars cannot capture, symbolizing the character for 'intercalary' (a king behind a gate). She states that she has guessed the protagonist has been consulting Oh Dok-seo and insists on the 366th cycle. As they prepare to open the greenhouse door, Seo-rin’s voice screams in terror from within. Go Yuri covers the protagonist’s hand with hers, and they push the door open together as the narrative ends.
