Chapter 65 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 65

The Undertaker recounts the catastrophic history of the meteor shower, describing it as a top-class anomaly that caused total devastation. Upon touching the ground, starlight instantly evaporates all organic matter and most monsters into beautiful pure white ash, creating a 'Territory of Ashes' that expands globally over six years. By the fifth cycle, Seoul is wiped out, and the entire world becomes an ashland. The Undertaker, a regressor, reflects on his past failures in cycles 25 and 26, where he died witnessing the apocalypse. He realizes that hiding or escaping is futile; the habitable zone shrinks until no surface remains safe. Consequently, he adopts a strategy of endurance, repeatedly dying and resetting to gather intelligence, viewing the Korean Peninsula as a literal hell during the seventh year when the World Tree 'Udumbara' blooms and Cheon Yo-hwa attempts to create an academy city. He notes the spread of a cult worshipping the 'New Buddha' who claim belief grants immortality. Finding the difficulty insurmountable alone, he bides his time. A turning point arrives when he meets Oh Dok-seo, who claims the constellations and the Saintess are her creations. This alliance allows the Saintess to use her overwhelming awakening abilities—specifically Clairvoyance, Telepathy, and Time Stop—to turn the tide. The Saintess impersonates the constellations, issuing a global quest warning of the meteor shower's arrival in six years. The quest frames the reward as 'Survival' and failure as 'Death.' The Undertaker guides the Saintess to manipulate public perception by leaking information gradually through 'special' quests and hidden rewards, such as supply warehouses. Cheon Yo-hwa aids the deception by creating NPCs portraying themselves as refugees from destroyed worlds, warning of a song preceding the starlight. Their combined efforts—including the Saintess's psychological manipulation and the Undertaker's strategic resource distribution—successfully prepare Korean awakeners. A 'Meteor Shower Board' forms on the SG Net, fostering guild cooperation under the leadership of Dang Seo-rin. By the end of the year, all awakeners are unified and prepared for the impending attack, setting the stage for the regressor's final counterattack.
