Chapter 252 — Regression Is Too Much

Chapter 252

The protagonist confronts the immortal King of the Maze on Floor 25, who is trapped in a poisoned labyrinth alongside a Minotaur. To bypass the King's immortality, the protagonist forces the King to abdicate in favor of a white goblin he has captured, reasoning that transferring the throne will satisfy the Tower's condition to "defeat the King." The King, initially despondent, reveals that the goblin is actually his son, who had previously attempted to usurp him. Moved by the protagonist's intervention, the King willingly performs a succession ritual, crowning the goblin and then killing him. The Tower registers the King's defeat, opening an exit portal. The protagonist escapes through the portal and returns to his apartment, where Choi Ji-won has been waiting. They share a quiet, wordless embrace after only thirteen minutes of real-world time.
