Chapter 390 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 390

The chapter opens with a flashback or internal monologue from the Regressor (Undertaker), who reflects on his greedy nature and inability to sacrifice the present run for a future one, fearing he would burn remaining lifespan on current indulgences. He resolves to survive until the final crisis. The scene shifts to the Tower of Babel terrace, where Sim Ah-ryeon (the Saintess) and Oh Dok-seo have adjourned a tense conference for thirty minutes. Sim Ah-ryeon observes that Dok-seo, despite her quiet exterior, is a dangerous force and only shows vulnerability to Undertaker. Below, a massive, fanatical crowd from the Eastern Holy State, Baekhwa Girls' High, and Samcheon World chants for the Saintess to tear down the Tower, accusing the Saintess of hiding a 'shameless unbeliever.' Sim Ah-ryeon notes that Dok-seo likely acted alone without consulting Ah-ryeon or Lee Ha-yul, intending to force both herself and Undertaker to confront reality and their own obliviousness. Sim Ah-ryeon admits that seeing Undertaker 'date' Noh Do-hwa startled her; she had analyzed it logically as an anomaly or disguise, realizing later she misunderstood her own feelings. She confesses to Undertaker that she likes him and will wait for his answer, explaining that understanding oneself requires overlapping the direction of understanding another. Meanwhile, Yu Ji-won (Mr. Matiz) serves coffee to attendees, deliberately doing so himself to improve relations with Seo Gyu, whom he views as easily swayed by small kindnesses. As Yu Ji-won walks with Undertaker back to the conference room, she displays perfect synchronization with his stride, a habit learned from a past meeting with a man named 'Matiz.' She asserts that the romance between Noh Do-hwa and the Regressor was impossible because Do-hwa would never date without losing her mind, and Matiz would never date without consulting her. When asked if she would kill a partner for Sim Ah-ryeon, Yu Ji-won states she is not the type to regret the 'optimal state' they share. Undertaker, burdened by Complete Memory of countless deaths, asks if she is happier now. Yu Ji-won redefines happiness not as a fixed concept but as a blank space to be signed individually. She claims to have signed hers with 'Matiz' and, sensing Undertaker's scent, confirms her love. She smiles and states, 'I am happy now, Mr. Matiz,' resolving the chapter with a moment of profound, quiet connection.
