Chapter 282 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 282

In Chapter 282, the narrator, identified as the Undertaker, opens with a philosophical rejection of the idea that people cannot be changed. Motivated by his regressor status and the ability to pull life’s gacha, he asserts his belief in human improvement, citing his past success in reforming Seo Gyu and OldManGoryeo. He introduces Yu Ji-won, a silver-haired psychopath he has encountered in the 703rd cycle. Upon entering a convenience store she has usurped, the Undertaker confronts her. She initially attempts to attack him with a hatchet, but when her weapon shatters against his skin, she seamlessly pivots to seduction, pledging loyalty to secure her life. Recognizing her chaotic genius, the Undertaker spares her but announces a new, ambitious side quest: rehabilitating Yu Ji-won from a pure psychopath into a human with genuine emotions, a project he dubs the "Silver-haired Psychopath Understand the Human Heart? Yu Ji-won Rehabilitation Project!" He presents her with a series of psychological tests to gauge her baseline. When asked what she would do upon finding a suicide victim and their dog, she states she would kill the dog for food. Regarding companionship in a wine cellar, she assumes her peers intend to poison the group to hoard spoils. She describes killing as merely tedious waste disposal and defines love as a rationalization tool for self-satisfaction. Despite these grim answers, she attempts to flatter the Undertaker by claiming nobility and aligning with his preferences in historical factions. The Undertaker confirms her psychopathy, labeling her a "Silver-haired Psychopath." He then tests her reactions to virtuous acts, such as saving orphans, but she views it as a waste of time since the victims cannot take responsibility for themselves. He suggests romance is the missing piece, prompting her to agree to date immediately. However, real-world attempts fail to elicit any romantic interest. Turning to Fairy No. 264, they construct a dream simulation to find her ideal partner. They summon archetypes: a handsome man, an educated gentleman, and a powerful warrior. In each scenario, Yu Ji-won’s heart rate remains flat. Only when the simulated partner possesses absolute power, despite being morally bankrupt and weak, does her heart rate rise significantly. The Undertaker notes this reaction is identical to her response to his own presence, hinting at a deeper, unexplained connection based on power dynamics rather than attraction. The chapter concludes with the rehabilitation project ongoing and fraught with failure.
