Chapter 389 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 389

The chapter opens with the Undertaker trapped by Noh Do-hwa’s Puppet Thread, attempting to use his aura in frustration. Noh Do-hwa calms him, teasingly questioning if he would break a grand pact just for personal comfort, before Cheon Yo-hwa violently interrupts the seating arrangement. Cheon Yo-hwa, displaying intense protectiveness, orders the seats next to the Undertaker cleared, using judicial authority to force Noh Do-hwa to move. This sets the stage for a formal proceeding regarding the "side contract" of the Regression Alliance. The Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) presides, calling Oh Dok-seo to testify via a laptop connection to the Infinite Void. The evidence revealed is a laptop screen filled with internet memes, establishing a humorous, chaotic tone. Oh Dok-seo, acting as the "Grand Writer," presents the side contract drafted in the 925th cycle: a pact prohibiting any active romantic involvement with the Undertaker (Go Yuir) until the world-ending threat is resolved. The contract was proposed by Oh Dok-seo herself to prevent emotional instability from shattering the team during their endless regression runs. Jeong Ye-ji explains that they plan to pass this agreement to their next-run selves. However, the meeting devolves into debate when Yu Ji-won questions the exclusions, specifically noting Dang Seo-rin’s absence because she is not a core Regression Alliance member. Jeong Ye-ji justifies this, fearing it would be cruel to bind Seo-rin. The group then discusses enforcement; Oh Dok-seo cynically suggests that if love inevitably blooms, it should be managed through cycles of relationship and subsequent amnesia to maximize "despair," referencing Schopenhauer’s philosophy. She argues that hiding these feelings causes internal rot, so they must delay romance until the Void is purged. Oh Dok-seo confronts the Undertaker directly, admitting she revealed this fragile truth to shock him into clarity. She explains that while waiting twenty years is bearable for regressors, it destroys non-regressors, and forcing him to choose a partner now is cruel. She concludes by addressing his internal grief, asking if the final words of his tenth-run Dang Seo-rin can finally be laid to rest, urging him to move past his lingering attachment to the past version of her.
