Chapter 400 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 400

The narrator, currently inhabiting the persona of Cheon-hwa (formerly Infinite Void and various other identities), addresses the reader while reflecting on five years spent within a simulated dream world at a pseudo-religious cult’s grand mansion. She waits for her senior, the Undertaker, to arrive, complaining about his delay while interacting with her younger twin sister, Cheon Yo-hwa. Their dynamic reveals a history of forced formality by their father, contrasting with their current informal banter and mutual teasing. The narrator secretly manages the dream’s infrastructure, coordinating with Tutorial Fairy No. 264. She orders the fairies to prioritize maintaining Yo-hwa’s identity over her own, planning to dive deeper into the dream layers to access Go Yuri’s memories, which she believes have contaminated Yo-hwa’s dream data. The goal is to use these memories to heal Yo-hwa’s psychological void, even if it means risking the narrator’s own sanity or identity stability. As the dream progresses, the narrator observes the stagnation of the environment, noting that the sky remains unchanged for four years as resources are pruned. The narrative shifts to a flashback or parallel timeline within the dream regarding their upbringing. Their father, the cult leader, praises an outsider who passed the CSAT by claiming to believe in Taoism, using this to bolster his own prestige and challenge the growing faction loyal to Cheon-hwa. The father attempts to assert authority by favoring Yo-hwa. The timeline advances to a tutoring session where their teacher, Go Yuri, announces her resignation due to a family matter. She introduces her successor, noting they also achieved a perfect CSAT score. One week later, the successor arrives. The narrator recognizes him instantly as the Undertaker, the missing person she had failed to locate in the real world and only glimpsed through Yu Ji-won’s past data. The Undertaker greets them professionally, acknowledging their excellent records and noting the unusual nature of their school situation, before beginning the first class. The chapter concludes with the narrator’s realization that the Undertaker has finally appeared before her.
