Chapter 283 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 283

The Undertaker reflects on Yu Ji-won’s true nature, realizing her type is not merely 'power' but the 'manipulation of will.' Ji-won explicitly states that her loyalty is gender-neutral and entirely dependent on the Undertaker, viewing his companions as resources to be managed. She demonstrates this by greeting Lee Ha-yul with excessive politeness, explaining that respecting those the Undertaker cherishes is the logical path to his approval. The narrative then shifts to a flashback from the 703rd cycle. The Undertaker discovers Ji-won brutally training Sim Ah-ryeon by cutting her finger with a blade to test her healing regeneration. Ah-ryeon, in pain, hides behind the Undertaker, claiming Ji-won is torturing her for neglecting training. Ji-won defends her actions, arguing that maximizing Ah-ryeon’s healing speed is essential for the upcoming Eastern Holy State project. The Undertaker realizes Ji-won misinterpreted his playful, teasing dynamic with Ah-ryeon as contempt, leading her to mirror this perceived hierarchy with harshness. He corrects her, explaining that Ah-ryeon views rough treatment as intimacy. Ji-won attempts to adapt by apologizing and bowing to Ah-ryeon, though she struggles to understand the concept of goodwill detached from utility. The Undertaker reassures her that he does not judge her harsh methods, but he must teach her nuance. The reflection concludes with the revelation that despite their mutual efforts to improve, their combination led to a catastrophic outcome in that cycle, triggered by the Saintess's death.
