Chapter 44 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 44

The narrator, identified as the Regressor Undertaker, begins by noting that Korean awakeners are disproportionately eccentric, citing Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa as examples. He reflects on the recent 'Wheel Murderer' case and the corruption of the Saintess, which served as a significant mental blow comparable to being betrayed by Go Yuri in a past cycle. The current narrative focuses on the immediate aftermath of Seo Gyu’s disqualification in Busan Station’s waiting room, triggered by his inability to handle Go Yuri’s hypnosis and his subsequent betrayal of the Saintess’s interests. The Undertaker expresses deep resentment toward Seo Gyu, not just for the betrayal, but for hiding his allegiance with the Saintess, and resolves to punish him by confiscating his favorite food for the next 200 years (10–15 cycles). Following this, Fairy No. 264 approaches the Undertaker, asking what he is doing. He reveals he is planning a vacation since the world is ruined, a response the fairy finds insane before fleeing. This interaction triggers the Undertaker’s memory of a previous conversation with the Saintess, where she claimed that while not all awakeners like him, 50% do, including the strong ones. Pricked by pride, the Undertaker decides to win over even more awakeners in this cycle, specifically targeting the Sword Marquess of Yuldoguk. He describes this old man, who uses the archaic self-reference 'this seat' and wields a fake aluminum sword, as a true madman. The narrator details the Sword Marquess’s history: he purchased a barony in 'Yuldoguk' (Sirland), a micronation established by a British expat based on capitalist principles from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After Yuldoguk was destroyed by monsters, the old man revived it as a tributary state and declared himself 'Sword Marquess,' a title that does not actually exist in the nation’s hierarchy. Despite his incompetence in combat—he cannot even use Aura—the Sword Marquess survived because he possesses the SSS-class ability [Plant Growth]. This power allows him to grow crops rapidly anywhere, giving him immense leverage over awakeners who rely on his food supply. He uses this threat to deter harassment from other guilds. Ultimately, the narrator concludes that while the Sword Marquess is crazy, his agricultural prowess makes him an indispensable, untouchable figure in the collapsed Korean peninsula.
