Chapter 64 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 64

The narrative opens with the protagonist, the Undertaker (Go Yuir), in the 25th cycle of his regression, reflecting on his previous failures. He realizes that his elaborate defenses, including the fortress train and poison surveillance, were useless against an unconventional enemy. Recalling the events of the 24th cycle, he remembers a conversation with Dang Seo-rin during a meteor shower. He had suspected the stars were a threat but kept it secret to avoid revealing his regressor knowledge, causing tension between them. Determined to survive this time, he positioned himself atop Bongrae Mountain in Busan, surrounded by trap lines set by the Puppeteer, Lee Ha-yul, to detect any intrusion. As he watches the sky, the meteor shower persists far longer than natural, intensifying into a heavy downpour of starlight. The protagonist identifies the phenomenon not as meteors but as monsters. Phase 1 begins as starlight descends; he notes that impacts in Gyeongsangnam-do are fatal, predicting the end of humanity. Phase 2 introduces an ethereal melody broadcasting a lullaby, specifically "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," which resonates with modern human DNA, causing widespread confusion and trance-like states among the populace. The protagonist recognizes this as a weaponized biological rhythm. The situation escalates as the starlight converges over Busan, forming a bright white arc. The protagonist rushes to the Samcheon World guild headquarters. Dang Seo-rin initially dismisses the threat as a natural phenomenon but quickly adapts upon hearing the protagonist's explanation, demonstrating her sharp intellect. However, it is too late. The lullaby triggers a [Forced Sleep] effect, causing guild members and citizens to collapse unconscious. The protagonist, having resisted or avoided the full impact, verifies that the victims are asleep, not dead. He urges Dang Seo-rin to escape the city to report the anomaly, but the sky turns blindingly white, signaling Phase 4, the final attack. As the light overwhelms them, Dang Seo-rin acknowledges the protagonist's prior suspicions, apologizes for her earlier irritability, and they embrace. Overwhelmed by the heavy eyelids and the distorted, static-filled lullaby, both fall unconscious. The world is engulfed in white light, marking the protagonist's 25th annihilation.
