Chapter 449 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 449

The chapter opens with Sim Ah-ryeon appearing in a grotesque state, missing an arm and a leg, which the Undertaker mistakes for a deliberate 'cosplay.' She claims to use this mutilated appearance as a psychological filter to identify those who harbor sufficient hatred to attack her, noting that about sixty percent of visitors to the Necromancer fail this test by hesitating. The narrative then shifts to a ten-year retrospective: the Undertaker engineered a global campaign to frame Sim Ah-ryeon as the 'Necromancer,' blaming her for every major disaster (Ten Legs, Meteor Shower, etc.) using the authority of the Infinite Metagame and the Saintess. This fabrication unified humanity against a single evil, culminating in her alleged subjugation. Rather than executing her, the Undertaker persuaded the angry populace to keep her alive as an outlet for their rage, placing her management under the cold, ruthless Yu Ji-won to ensure controlled torture over two years. Returning to the present, Yu Ji-won reports a critical anomaly: Sim Ah-ryeon’s healing ability, previously depicted as infinite, had actually run out of 'battery' due to daily torture, explaining her crippled state until the Undertaker’s arrival. Yu Ji-won warns that Sim Ah-ryeon may be deceiving them all. Though the Undertaker acknowledges the possibility of deception, he dismisses Yu Ji-won and retreats into his own doubts, recalling the Saintess’s similar concerns. Sim Ah-ryeon heals her limbs instantly and changes into a concealing cloak. At the Azit, the Undertaker serves her tteokbokki he prepared himself. Sim Ah-ryeon eats voraciously and then casually burns her own arm with his cigarette to demonstrate pain, maintaining a playful smile. When the Undertaker demands to know why her powers fluctuate, she reveals the core truth: she feeds on the emotions of others, specifically the intense hatred directed at her. However, she reveals that the Undertaker’s own emotions—mixed with love, guilt, and confusion—surge most violently when he looks at her. She mocks humanity for blaming her for deaths the Undertaker orchestrated, comparing them to fish in a tank who don't realize their environment is artificial. She concludes that since she feeds on people, and the Undertaker is the only person left with intense feelings for her, her power is strongest around him. The chapter ends with the Undertaker stifled by this realization, his heart beating wildly under the weight of his own complicity.
