Chapter 49 — Regression Is Too Much

Chapter 49

The protagonist reads Michael Zetter's public post detailing his traumatic but successful experience on Floor 2, where he subjugated a noble and survived the master of the city's lightning strike. Inspired by Zetter's account and the ruler's offer to change rules if challenged, the protagonist decides to attempt persuasion rather than combat. He regresses to the start of Floor 2 and consults the plaza guide angel, who confirms the master of the city has limited authority to alter non-core rules. The protagonist then confronts the ruler, arguing against her philosophy of forcing residents to endure suffering for mutual understanding. The ruler dismisses his moral appeals, stating she views the residents as her personal assets and demands he respect her jurisdiction. When persuasion fails, the protagonist accepts the diamond sigil to clear the floor, regresses again, and resolves to execute a more strategic plan to dismantle the city's oppressive system.
