Chapter 419 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 419

The chapter opens with a bored speaker questioning the quality of novels and author productivity, before shifting focus to Oh Dok-seo, the 'Possessor' and miko of the Admin of the Infinite Metagame. Dok-seo discovers a novel titled 'The Slowest Prophet,' which is actually a prophecy detailing the apocalypse on June 17th, where sixteen billion people die. Initially treating it as fiction due to her cynical view of reality, she is shocked when she realizes the protagonist shares her exact name and Hanja characters. This coincidence clears a condition, causing her to fully recognize the prophecy as real and awaken with the First Ability, 'The Fastest Prophet,' granting her foresight of the coming calamity. Overwhelmed by the realization that June 17th is imminent, she panics about her lack of power and questions why the Undertaker chose her. She then unlocks 'Absolute Defense,' an ability that nullifies physical damage by treating world events as fictional, though its duration is limited to roughly one minute. Realizing she cannot access a status window because the Admin of the Infinite Metagame has sealed it away, she communicates with the Outer God residing in her laptop. The Admin, appearing sarcastic and self-deprecating, explains that Dok-seo’s power stems from her refusal to accept the world as real. However, using the Admin’s power will weaken her abilities by turning her into a 'character' in the fiction she denies. Dok-seo deduces a unique loophole: if she becomes strong enough to defeat the anomalies and 'rewrite' the story so the apocalypse never happens, the resulting reality will no longer be fiction, thus preserving her humanity and power. Unlike other mikos who become corrupted, she can remain human until the day the prophecy is averted. The Admin reveals that the Reincarnator and the Regressor (Undertaker) have already sacrificed their autonomy, entrusting their fates to Dok-seo. The Reincarnator shared his 'fire' of awakening with humanity, and the Regressor willingly became a mere character in her narrative. The Admin urges her to demote these figures to characters and rule the world, but Dok-seo refuses, valuing the human act of entrusting one's life to another more than godhood. She declares her intent to recruit key allies before June 17th. She plans to use the keyword 'Mr. Matiz' to coerce Yu Ji-won, the Leviathan sacrifice, into cooperation. Next, she intends to rescue Lee Ha-yul, who is confined in Busan, and persuade the Saintess, Jeong Ye-ji, by appealing to her logical nature. Finally, she plans to crush Cheon Yo-hwa’s cult. Dok-seo reveals a strategic insight: if she dies, the Undertaker will simply regress to restart the timeline, guaranteeing her another chance. Embracing this safety net, she optimistically believes her path to victory is on 'Easy' mode, while the Admin remains skeptical, witnessing the birth of a new kind of hero.
