Chapter 410 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 410

The narrator, referred to as the Undertaker or Guild Leader, is in a gallery, gently combing the hair of Sim Ah-ryeon, who has collapsed into a deep sleep after painting nonstop for a week. Sim Ah-ryeon is exhausted from completing a grueling exhibition quest, her mental fatigue finally overriding her self-healing abilities. The narrator prepares to respond to her earlier confession but is interrupted by footsteps approaching the restricted gallery entrance. Despite the late hour and a 'No Entry' sign, Go Yuri enters the space. She ignores the narrator’s initial warning, instead admiring the artworks, specifically noting the lack of frames on Sim Ah-ryeon’s piece, 'Title: Ten Legs,' which the artist painted with the intent that only the Guild Leader would view it. Go Yuri strolls through the gallery, commenting on the themes of love and death in the other paintings, before formally bowing to the narrator and the sleeping Sim Ah-ryeon. She praises the exhibition, suggesting that if the world were purely beautiful, the narrator’s countless cycles of regression would have been justified for this single moment of witnessing Sim Ah-ryeon’s art. The narrator, however, reveals a long-held secret: since the 1,000th cycle, he has been able to hear Go Yuri’s true voice, bypassing her usual mechanism of mirroring the listener’s desires. Utilizing this connection, he mentally aligns the tumblers of a metaphorical lock using the memories of his past deaths displayed in the paintings. He forces a confrontation, asking Go Yuri why she erased her existence to become an anomaly. This triggers a cacophony of fragmented voices from the paintings—echoes of past cycles, other characters like Cheon-hwa and Seo-rin, and Go Yuri’s conflicting internal monologues. The narrator edits this noise, isolating his own voice and asking if she can hear him. When she confirms, the chaos ceases. Go Yuri admits it has taken a long time. She explains that the world is not beautiful and that the narrator’s 'vacations' (regressions) are a coping mechanism to avoid shattering under the weight of responsibility for his companions’ tragic fates in other timelines. She reveals her own motivation: she abandoned her identity not to become a god, but to save people. Finally, when asked who she is, Go Yuri whispers that she is a reincarnator, a human born again and again.
