Chapter 331
Dok Su-hee confronts Michael Zetter in a meeting room, using a lie-detecting notebook to expose his claim of having lost his emotions. Zetter calmly admits his empathy has declined but argues that his rational, machine-like composure makes him a better leader. He turns the argument around, asking who else could replace him, and the teammates quickly side with him, dismissing Su-hee's hypothetical concerns about his future decisions. Zetter then invokes their team contract to punish Su-hee for lying, threatening to extract her memories. Su-hee refuses, declaring she must escape to warn Kim Jun-ho. Zetter stops her, revealing his Adaptation trait has hardened his body, and prepares to use lethal force to prevent her from reaching the regressor.

Chapter 332
Dok Su-hee and Michael Zetter engage in a tense confrontation inside a meeting room. Zetter warns her not to use poison gas, knowing his Adaptation renders it useless, and catches a bullet aimed at his eye. He repeatedly tells her to give up, confident that his completed Adaptation makes him nearly invincible against conventional and even unconventional attacks. Dok Su-hee, however, endures his overwhelming force and spam of blankets, waiting for a single opening. She triggers a complex, simultaneous assault involving a minigun, grenades, silicone oil, and spikes, but Zetter effortlessly counters each gambit with his inhuman speed and body manipulation. Cornered, Zetter offers her a chance to surrender, but Dok Su-hee fires a Desert Eagle bullet infused with lightning via her hidden Synthesis ability, believing it is the one attack his Adaptation cannot predict or counter.

Chapter 333
Dok Su-hee fires a lightning-charged bullet at Michael Zetter, temporarily paralyzing him and believing she has won. However, Zetter reveals he had adapted by carrying a partial Elixir capsule in his mouth, which he swallowed upon impact to instantly heal his nervous system. Realizing her attack failed and Zetter is recovering, Su-hee attempts to flee through a portal to Floor 1. Zetter, operating in slowed time, anticipates her move and throws her into the portal while simultaneously summoning a fake nuclear warhead onto the floor. He orders his team into portals to escape the supposed blast, then returns to Floor 1 to find the warhead was hollow. Zetter orders his team to seal the room and set traps, deducing Su-hee will head to Floor 26 to find Kim Jun-ho. He calmly debriefs his team, including Mahesh, and prepares to wait out the situation.

Chapter 335
World leaders convene to discuss the existence of a regressor, Kim Jun-ho. The US President explains the necessity of sharing this information to prevent international conflict and proposes an Escape Contract to ensure all nations refrain from interfering with or exploiting the regressor. The German Chancellor questions the motive, while the Korean President notes his prior efforts to shield Choi Ji-won. After debate, the leaders agree to the contract, prioritizing stability over risky intervention. Following the meeting, the President and Michael Zetter discuss a plan to use the Book of Truth to find the fastest way for the regressor to climb the Tower, requiring massive sacrifice and a subsequent regression to undo the cost. The discussion is interrupted by news that Dok Su-hee has appeared on Floor 26, prompting the President to leave while Zetter continues to refine his strategy.

Chapter 336
Michael Zetter waits in a broadcast room for a remote negotiation with Dok Su-hee, but Mahesh reports it failed because the assigned 'Young Master' acted greedily. The Young Master attempted to trap Dok Su-hee with a fake non-aggression contract to gain leverage over the Association, but she, mentally exhausted and cornered, attacked him with poison gas instead. The incident drew bystanders and resulted in her expulsion from Floor 26. Upon returning to his lab, Zetter is confronted by the US President, who is furious and accuses him of sacrificing American lives to the Book. The narrative reveals their close cooperation stems from a staged conflict strategy: Zetter and the President are orchestrating a public clash between the Association and the government to justify purging bureaucratic leadership and rebuilding the Association under player control, while the Young Master's stunt accidentally triggered part of the trap.

Chapter 337
The President conducts private research with his doctors on the Book's conditions, questioning the value of purity and the possibility of human sacrifice. When he asks the Book directly, it reveals that sacrificing a person permanently binds their soul to the Book, stripping them of any afterlife. This revelation horrifies the President, who realizes the moral line cannot be crossed. Zetter arrives, and the President confronts him about the mark on Kim Jun-ho. Zetter defensively argues that sacrificing a death row inmate's lifespan and afterlife is trivial, shocking the President with his warped morality. The President orders Zetter out, their relationship irreparably broken. Zetter reflects on his isolation and the damage caused by his echo chamber of advisors. Meanwhile, Martin reports to Zetter that he successfully turned Choi Ji-won against the government using the President's false rumors. The President, aware of Zetter's growing influence over the regressor, orders his secretary to hack the regressor's Wi-Fi to monitor his movements. Mahesh informs Zetter that he has contacted Choi Ji-won and advises him to travel to Korea immediately.

Chapter 338
Michael Zetter teleports into Choi Ji-won's house to speak with her and Kim Jun-ho. He admits his past certainty was flawed and confesses that he has already cleared Floor 29, surprising Jun-ho. Zetter explains that he realized his arrogance in trying to control everything and believes Jun-ho and Ji-won are far more suited to lead humanity against the coming invasion. He asks them to keep climbing, grow stronger, and protect the world, offering them a Medal as a token of his support. He admits he delayed telling them because he believed he could resolve the conflict alone, a delusion he now acknowledges. When Ji-won angrily questions his silence, Zetter apologizes and continues his account, revealing that he attempted to meet the President at the White House but was turned away because the President and Ronald had already departed for China to use the Book of Truth. Zetter orders a full assembly of Team Alpha to locate them, concluding his report to the protagonists.

Chapter 339
Michael Zetter struggles to locate the US President, who has gone dark in China with other world leaders to consult the Book of Truth. The regressor, Kim Jun-ho, summons Zetter to question him about Dok Su-hee's actions on Floor 26, which Zetter deflects with careful lies. Later, an emotionally exhausted Zetter visits Jun-ho, confessing his loss of faith in his own leadership and asking for reassurance. Meanwhile, in an underground Chinese warehouse, the US President and global leaders prepare massive sacrifices of wealth and eventually criminals to force the Book of Truth to reveal how to strengthen the regressor. Despite escalating the offerings to include all serious offenders and state-determined citizens, the Book initially remains silent until the leaders' desperate, blind faith in the regressor's power finally prompts a response: the regressor grows stronger the more people depend on him. Seizing this revelation, the President orders the creation and dissemination of a video to publicly cultivate that dependence.

Chapter 341
Kim Jun-ho explains to Choi Ji-won that his Hero trait layered power over his soul rather than strengthening it, causing his mana to leak uncontrollably across the Earth. This uncontrolled mana broadcasts his emotions and forces him to endure immense pressure. He expresses deep anger at the President and Zetter for exposing him, which subjected him to global scrutiny and unwanted expectations. Ji-won notes a man typing hate comments who suddenly collapses from respiratory failure due to Jun-ho's emotional mana spike. Jun-ho decides to enter the Tower to adapt to his power in slowed time. Ji-won questions whether this forced growth was what he truly wanted, and he confirms it was not. She embraces him, urging him to try doing something, restoring his hope.

Chapter 342
Kim Jun-ho and Choi Ji-won discuss his unstable mental state and the political fallout from the President's actions. Jun-ho outlines his plan to negotiate with the Hero, Zetter, or the President, but realizes companion regression is impossible due to his own emotional volatility and Zetter's detached nature. He decides to stay on Floor 1 to meditate and control his mana. After a week of training, Ji-won suggests an unconventional method to calm his mind: petting wild animals in Africa. Jun-ho finds the therapy effective, and once his mana stabilizes, they prepare to leave Floor 1 to confront the President.

Chapter 343

Chapter 344
Kim Jun-ho adapts to his strengthened body and cautiously approaches Choi Ji-won's tent on Floor 29, where she warns him not to pick a fight. He explains his forced strengthening and is acknowledged by her. Back in reality, he dismisses Michael Zetter, who already knows about his regression. Confused by the President's lack of memory, Kim Jun-ho visits the White House and demands an explanation. The President is genuinely confused, having no recollection of their previous meeting. Kim Jun-ho takes him to the Book of Truth and asks why joint regression failed on him. The book reveals the President's soul belongs to it, which is why the regression didn't trigger. Realizing the President is immune, Kim Jun-ho considers having someone else regress to deliver his message, weighing options like Dok Su-hee, the Grim Reaper, Park Cheol-jin, or Kang Chan. He decides to regress again and then approach the Hero to ask for her confessions.

Kim Jun-ho devises a plan to have Choi Ji-won climb the Tower to find Dok Su-hee, hoping to use her as a companion regressor. While Ji-won climbs, Jun-ho explores extreme environments and avoids public contact to maintain his mental stability. He meets Ronald, the owner of the Book of Truth, a seemingly ordinary high schooler. After a brief, polite exchange, Jun-ho leaves, grappling with the immense pressure of public accountability and his fear of losing himself. Concluding that finding Dok Su-hee is too uncertain, he considers his final, dangerous option: using the angel-given ring to erase the Book's trait and undo his Regression entirely.

Chapter 347
Kim Jun-ho and Choi Ji-won debate how to handle the crisis of his identity leaking to the American President. Ji-won strongly opposes using a trait-erasing ring to remove his Regression ability, fearing he could become permanently trapped in a regression loop or that the ring's effects are uncertain. She advocates waiting for Dok Su-hee to recover and return. Jun-ho counters that time is critical due to the impending monster invasion in six months and his refusal to bear the crushing responsibility of being Earth's guardian. He considers regressing the President or using a companion regressor but deems them impossible. Ji-won then suggests using a Floor 24 transformation mask, possibly worn by Park Cheol-jin, to approach the President and negotiate a companion regression. Jun-ho acknowledges the plan's potential but ultimately decides to bypass Ji-won's caution and go directly to the Book himself, choosing to trust his own judgment over her protective instincts.

Chapter 348
Kim Jun-ho and Choi Ji-won travel to America by plane, where Ji-won attempts to persuade Jun-ho to consider alternative solutions before he decides to ask the Book about using Raphael's ring to erase Ronald's trait. Jun-ho remains resolute, explaining his plan to simply ask the Book first. Upon arriving at an underground research facility, they meet the President, who warmly greets Jun-ho and agrees to facilitate the Book's cooperation as a favor. Alone with Ji-won and the Book, Jun-ho asks if using the ring on Ronald would erase the Book's existence and undo past events. The Book confirms it would, but then demands Jun-ho hand over the Elixir he carries as a favor in return. After Jun-ho agrees, the Book opens to reveal a dense, flickering page showing the future Jun-ho would have chosen, pulling his consciousness into the vision.

Upon arriving at an underground research facility, they meet the President, who warmly greets Jun-ho and agrees to facilitate the Book's cooperation as a favor. Alone with Ji-won and the Book, Jun-ho asks if using the ring on Ronald would erase the Book's existence and undo past events. The Book confirms it would, but then demands Jun-ho hand over the Elixir he carries as a favor in return. After Jun-ho agrees, the Book opens to reveal a dense, flickering page showing the future Jun-ho would have chosen, pulling his consciousness into the vision.

Chapter 350
Kim Jun-ho frantically searches for Choi Ji-won after discovering she no longer remembers him. He calls her phone, and she answers politely, addressing him as "Jun-ho-nim" with genuine concern but zero romantic or shared-history recognition. Overwhelmed, Jun-ho flees and regresses to Floor 29, where he spends days in a depressive haze, crying and neglecting himself. Recovering enough to think, he recalls the Book of Truth's warning that severing the connection to the World's Center would erase companion regression. He realizes destroying the book severed his bond with Ji-won, rewriting the timeline so they never truly connected past Floor 3. Though devastated by his own fault, he resolves to prepare for this future, finding a sliver of hope in knowing the outcome beforehand.

Chapter 353
Kim Jun-ho regresses to the moment before the Book vanished, waking up in his studio apartment with Choi Ji-won. After a brief, awkward confession of love, they discuss the implications of the Book's disappearance and the severed connection to the World's Center. They realize that companion regression is impossible in the current state, yet Jun-ho somehow ended up with Ji-won in the vision. Over the next month, they rest in a remote jungle while Jun-ho retraces the steps of the Kim Jun-ho from the vision, deliberately seeking fame and strength. During a public interview, Jun-ho observes a man reading a web novel about a character who dies and regresses repeatedly. This sparks a realization: the solution to his problem lies in focusing on the past and embracing regression itself. Jun-ho accepts that he must regress for the first time to find the answer, shifting his strategy from trying to fix the present to altering the past.

Chapter 354
Kim Jun-ho contemplates true regression to the Tutorial to fix his mistakes, recalling how he bypassed Floor 17's mana shock to trick the system. He devises two methods to trigger regression: resisting the floor-entry judgment signal, or taking damage at the exact moment of entering the Tower. He discusses the plan with Choi Ji-won, who immediately identifies the critical flaw: the Heavenly Demon would retain his memories and could slaughter everyone on Floor 28. Jun-ho considers using a ring but rejects it as morally equivalent to his past self's actions. He resolves to find a way to neutralize the Heavenly Demon using the Hero's past methods, ultimately deciding to execute the plan despite the risks.

Chapter 355
Kim Jun-ho reflects on his regression strategy, realizing that wandering stems from a lack of clear direction. He formulates a plan to gain widespread fame and public trust by appearing on media platforms, believing this will strengthen his Hero trait. As he pushes his body to its limits to activate the trait, he suffers severe internal damage and bleeds from his nose, prompting Choi Ji-won to rush to his side. Despite her concern, he regresses to reset the cycle. In the new cycle, Ji-won encourages him to trust his instincts, reassuring him that they have ample time to find the right path. Kim Jun-ho then attempts a new, grueling method: repeatedly detonating his mana to self-injure and trigger rapid regressions, meticulously timing the delay between damage and the floor transition. After countless cycles of vomiting and exhaustion, he finally achieves a perfect synchronization of damage, consciousness fading, and regression, successfully returning to Floor 28 instead of 29, where he is immediately confronted by a guard.

Chapter 356
Kim Jun-ho successfully regresses to the past, arriving on Floor 28 just as the Heavenly Demon regains control of Guntar's body. After briefly checking his own condition and confirming the regression's success, Jun-ho prepares to execute his plan. The Heavenly Demon, now conscious, senses an overwhelming threat approaching and confronts the intruder. Kim Jun-ho enters, deliberately projecting an aura of immense power and adopting a condescending, angelic demeanor to deceive the demon. He addresses the demon directly, claiming to have watched him and noting his progress, while the demon grows suspicious of this unfamiliar, powerful presence. Concluding the encounter, Jun-ho delivers a final angelic declaration before detonating his mana to trigger a forced regression back to the moment of his initial entry on Floor 28, leaving the demon thoroughly misled.

Chapter 357
Kim Jun-ho successfully deceives Heavenly Demon Guntar by pretending to be his past self, buying time to initiate a regression. After Guntar agrees to rest, Jun-ho endures the grueling, luck-dependent process of turning back time, relying on Choi Ji-won's support to stabilize his mind. He regresses through multiple floors, carefully managing his focus and memories while reflecting on the psychological toll and the advantages of his Regression trait. Upon reaching Floor 27, he checks in with Ji-won, confirming her memories survived the shift, though Tower events feel hazy. He notes that Dok Su-hee's memories also carried over, but she is unreachable. Pushing further back to Floor 6, Jun-ho makes a final, intense effort to regress into the past, sinking deep into his core until he awakens back at the Tutorial, realizing he has successfully reset to the very beginning.

Chapter 358
Kim Jun-ho regresses to the Tutorial clearing, initially panicking when Choi Ji-won does not recognize him. He quickly realizes her memories only return after Floor 4, so her amnesia is logical. He approaches her, introduces himself, and reveals their future relationship to gain her trust. Despite her initial hostility and confusion, she listens to his plan, which requires her cooperation. Jun-ho also tests whether his Hero trait activates while hiding his identity, confirming it does. He concludes that he can operate secretly while Choi Ji-won publicly plays the hero, solving his vulnerability to exposure.

Chapter 359
Choi Ji-won and Kim Jun-ho review their plan to clear the Tutorial by having her act as the Hero while he handles hidden threats. Ji-won addresses the crowd, instructs them to stay in the grass, and vanishes into it. The grass is instantly sheared to an even height. Ji-won returns, denying responsibility, which confuses but ultimately impresses the players. She leads them to a sealed Minotaur, asks for time, and steps forward. Kim Jun-ho, meanwhile, confronts and kills a Goblin Shaman. Ji-won appears to have defeated the Minotaur instantly, earning the crowd's awe and the system's achievement notification. She directs everyone into the portal. Afterward, exhausted and mortified by the absurdity of the situation, Ji-won mutters to herself and her sword. Kim Jun-ho reflects on the plan's success and decides to explore the Tutorial further before regressing.
