Chapter 73 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 73

The narrator, identifying himself as the Undertaker, reflects on his history as a mastermind who established the National Road Management Corps, SG Net, and various front organizations. He admits that his narrative is defined more by colossal failures than successes and uses this context to recount a specific blunder involving the creation of a cavalry unit, inspired by the 'Charge of the Rohirrim' in *The Lord of the Rings*. He recalls acquiring the film after being scolded by Sim Ah-ryeon for not having seen it, a decision that sparked his obsession with cavalry. During a Regressor Alliance meeting, he proposed raising horses as a fuel-independent transport solution, citing rapidly depleting fuel reserves. Noh Do-hwa, commander of the National Road Management Corps, questioned the logistics of breeding horses in a void-infested world. The Undertaker clarified that he did not want ordinary horses but genetically mutated, superior creatures capable of endurance and combat, to be created using void anomalies. He presented a presentation where he outlined the plan to use Gremlins as an alternative, but when Do-hwa expressed skepticism about horse breeding, he revealed his intent to use the void itself to accelerate evolution. Sim Ah-ryeon intervened, noting that the Undertaker had previously proposed a 'Howl’s Moving Castle' style steampunk fortress, which made the horse idea seem relatively more acceptable, and advised Do-hwa to concede. The Undertaker then proceeded to establish 'Idea Ranch' near Daesan-myeon. He cleared out local anomaly hybrids, the 'Slogoblin' and 'Goblime,' and personally ferried over 200 horses from Jeju Island using an aura-coated oar, accepting only 500ml of oil from Do-hwa. He also negotiated with the Magical Girl Association in Japan to import four high-quality racehorses, rowing back across the East Sea without fuel. He invited Noh Do-hwa, Seo Gyu, and Sim Ah-ryeon to inspect the ranch half a year later. During the safari truck ride, the mood was tense; Do-hwa appeared mournful, likely due to the Undertaker's fabricated excuse that Sim Ah-ryeon had a cold, preventing her from attending. The group arrived at the ranch, and the Undertaker activated the truck’s horn, mimicking the cavalry charge sound effect. As the horn blared, Do-hwa whispered her resignation, saying, 'God damn it,' acknowledging the inevitable, albeit chaotic, success of the undertaking.
