Chapter 294 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 294

Under a half-moon in a pine forest, Kim Ji-soo collapses, weeping without tears, her soul breaking from the weight of her memories. The narrator, the Undertaker, wraps his Aura around her to ward off the chill, attempting to comfort her as she stares blankly at the sky. Ji-soo recalls the truth behind her savior, Yu Ji-won. Once, Ji-soo belonged to a pack of orphaned wanderers in a Forsaken Village after an Anomaly wiped out their community. Yu Ji-won, an agent of the National Road Management Corps, arrived amidst the charred remains and saved only Ji-soo. Yu Ji-won asked if Ji-soo would dedicate her life to revenge, and Ji-soo agreed. Yu Ji-won then took Ji-soo's name, renaming her 'Ji-soo'—derived from 'ji' (pond) and 'soo' (marsh)—describing her as a place where hatred pools and grows. Ji-soo later realized the horrifying truth: Yu Ji-won likely allowed the Anomalies to destroy the village, intervening only to save a single promising survivor to serve her own purposes, effectively recycling human waste into tools. The Undertaker acknowledges this, explaining that Ji-won’s ambition was instilled by him. He reveals that in previous cycles, Ji-soo was destined to die because wanderer groups lacked Awakeners, but Ji-won’s intervention in this cycle broke that pattern. The Undertaker offers Ji-soo a choice: he can grant her a comfortable life in Busan, train her to fight Anomalies without torture, or share his regression knowledge. He emphasizes that he is a regressor and Ji-won remains his lieutenant across cycles. After two months of contemplation, during which Ji-won noticed Ji-soo’s distracted demeanor, Ji-soo returns with resolve. She admits she has killed people seeking revenge and realizes she and Yu Ji-won are alike. Rejecting the wish for personal happiness, she asks a shocking question: since Yu Ji-won values being the Undertaker’s lieutenant above all else, Ji-soo requests to take Yu Ji-won’s place as his lieutenant, thereby depriving Yu Ji-won of what matters most to her. She asks for help in replacing Godmother Yu, seeking to inflict the deepest possible loss on her tormentor by usurping her position.
