Chapter 58 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 58

The Undertaker reflects on his 1183 regression cycles, comparing his struggle to prevent world destruction to climbing the Everest of time. He recounts the failure of the 'Revival Route,' which relied on a Saintess to monitor awakeners, Seo Gyu to manage the SG Net, and Noh Do-hwa to maintain infrastructure, all led by himself as the Undertaker. The route collapsed because Awakeners' powers are double-edged swords; without restraint, they become monsters themselves. He notes that figures like Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa exemplify this curse, where miracles are also curses. He then details his first successful strategy, the 'A Route' or 'Academy Route,' co-created with Old Man Scho (Emit Schopenhauer). To recruit talent without the stigma of a guild, they established 'Freedom Academy,' exploiting Asian cultural biases toward prestigious education over mercenary work. Old Man Scho, an art school graduate with a German background, served as Principal, while the Undertaker was Vice-Principal. In the 18th cycle, they discussed recruiting a powerful Awakener, the 'Puppeteer,' rumored to be in Fukuoka. Despite the Undertaker's reluctance due to past friction with Old Man Scho, they agreed on a trip. Old Man Scho gifted him tonkotsu ramen instructions, and the Saintess of National Salvation cheered him on via a system message. The Undertaker traveled to Fukuoka, which was occupied by Koreans from the Second Provisional Government of Korea, led by Former Mayor Jung Sang-guk. The government had renamed Fukuoka 'Busan' and welcomed the Undertaker with a massive, orchestrated cheering crowd, waving banners proclaiming him the 'Pride of Korea.' Jung Sang-guk, a former politician turned exile leader, enthusiastically greeted the Undertaker, hugging him and shaking hands with his ministers. The Undertaker felt overwhelmed by the absurdity of the situation, recalling Old Man Scho's mockery of his swordsmanship and the chaotic nature of his allies, realizing why he had disliked this assignment.
