Chapter 381 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 381

In a dream state, the protagonist, a highly disciplined and intellectually rigorous young woman, engages in a prolonged dialogue with an enigmatic shadow entity. The shadow, referred to as 'Mr. Undertaker' by a second, silent shadow, begins by analyzing her standards for romance. The protagonist defends her high expectations—arguing for fitness, wealth, compassion, philosophical depth, and a balance of stillness and energy—as merely reasonable for a modern capitalist society. The shadow critiques her for overestimating human capability and demanding perfection, suggesting her standards are the problem, not her. Despite her defensive posture, the shadow delivers a prophecy: she will come to like a specific person who is not 'special' but ordinary, and through this connection, she will learn to cherish herself, develop new hobbies like reading 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', and gain new abilities. The shadow grants her a 'miracle' by instructing her to clasp her hands, awakening her powers of telepathy (sending messages to known Awakeners), shared vision, and time stoppage. The entity claims it will wait until it 'becomes her again.' The protagonist wakes up in her bed, confused by her praying posture and the lingering warmth in her hands, dismissing it as a dream induced by sleeping pills. However, she soon discovers that speaking or thinking aloud causes floating letters to appear in the air, which vanish when she touches them. Realizing her hands are clasped in the praying pose, she tests this, confirming the letters reappear. Over the course of the morning, she experiments with her newfound ability, realizing she has effortlessly awakened powers that take others years to master. The chapter concludes with her unaware of the term 'Awakening,' noting that while others struggle with trial and error, her ease is inevitable, and hinting that by summer, she will fall in love with someone.
