Chapter 418 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 418

The narrative reveals the true nature of the story's 'I'. While the Undertaker is the protagonist whose life is being recounted, Oh Dok-seo is revealed as the ultimate author and editor, having lived through countless cycles to refine his tale. The Undertaker confronts Oh Dok-seo, explaining that both he and Go Yuri are anomalies—beings so powerful they risk destabilizing reality by monopolizing their own existence. To prevent this, Go Yuri proposed a strategy of isolation and separation: the Undertaker must be stripped of his anomaly status and remembered only as a human. The narrator, who is revealed to be the Undertaker himself speaking from a future or alternate perspective, explains that he has been dreaming Go Yuri’s dream while Oh Dok-seo observes his. He asks Oh Dok-seo to seal him by writing his story as a mere human, complete with trivial traits like loving old classics, rather than a god-like regressor. He entrusts this to her, acknowledging her role as his 'shamaness' who must sway the gods. A prerequisite for this plan is subduing the Admin of the Infinite Metagame, who threatens to interfere. The Undertaker realizes Go Yuri orchestrated his regression and his encounters with key figures like Schopenhauer, Cheon Yo-hwa, and Yu Ji-won to forge him into a human strong enough to carry the weight of this sacrifice. He reflects on the suffering of these figures and the beauty found in their resilience, affirming his love for Go Yuri and his trust in Oh Dok-seo. The chapter concludes with the Undertaker accepting his fate, asking Oh Dok-seo to love and then forget him to sever his ties to the anomaly state. The narrative then rapidly cycles through timestamps, showing Oh Dok-seo awakening on April 29th and dying repeatedly over the following days, illustrating the painful, repetitive nature of the regression loop required to seal the Undertaker and stabilize the world.
