Chapter 319 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 319

The narrator, Oh Dok-seo, and Yu Ji-won discuss Cheon Yo-hwa's status as a 'defeated heroine' frozen in time. Dok-seo argues that Cheon Yo-hwa lost because her love cannot be realized in the present timeline, but the narrator corrects her, explaining that Cheon Yo-hwa deliberately chose to inhabit the 'past' to conquer his regressor timeline. Suddenly, Cheon Yo-hwa appears in a black sailor uniform within a surreal classroom where four seasons are visible through the windows. She greets the narrator as 'sunbae' and playfully claims they kissed before her Time Seal, which the narrator denies. Cheon Yo-hwa dismisses this, insisting their past will 'change' to reflect her claim. She introduces herself to Yu Ji-won, who has been brought along for protection. The narrator outlines the strategic situation: Leviathan has become an Outer God, and the plan is to make Yu Ji-won its 'Miko' (agent) due to her resistance to mental corruption. Cheon Yo-hwa points out that Go Yuri views Leviathan as a rival anomaly, both manipulating perception, and notes that Go Yuri is using the narrator to eliminate Leviathan. The narrator agrees to focus solely on defeating Leviathan. Cheon Yo-hwa questions the narrator's trust in Yu Ji-won given the risks of an Outer God's influence, but the narrator affirms his confidence in her loyalty. Cheon Yo-hwa then reveals her true intent: she will use her power to rewrite history so that Yu Ji-won was always Leviathan's Miko, even before their current timeline began. Yu Ji-won agrees to this erasure of her original past, stating she has no attachments and recalling only killing people. The narrator accepts this change. To pay for Cheon Yo-hwa's power, the narrator consents to three 'prices': a kiss to seal the deal, the insertion of a romantic confession and kiss into their shared history, and a second kiss because Cheon Yo-hwa 'liked it.' While kissing the narrator, Cheon Yo-hwa traces words on his chest with her nails: 'Actually, a long time ago, I wanted to tweak our timeline so that we stole a kiss back when you tutored me. That was my mistake. I couldn't hold back. I feel kind of underhanded too. After all, I'm going to forget this in a day, anyway. Silly me, right? But at least you'll remember it, sunbae. That's not so bad. Off you go, sunbae. Here's a little hint: Make use of perfume.' The classroom dissolves in bright light. The narrator finds himself in a narrow, scorching summer alleyway. A polite girl with black hair and trash bags asks him to move. He realizes this is a rewritten past where Yu Ji-won is alive but younger and unknown to him as an adult. He asks her name, and she introduces herself as 14-year-old Yu Ji-won, a middle school student. The chapter ends with the narrator realizing Cheon Yo-hwa has transported him too far back in time.
