Chapter 320 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 320

The narrator, an Undertaker with over ten thousand years of regressive experience, reflects on his approach to companions' trauma, noting that he rarely digs into their pasts because human memory is unreliable and actions over time prove character more than words. This monologue transitions into a flashback of him observing 14-year-old Yu Ji-won during a photo shoot in her youth. Ji-won, described as a "born psychopath" and professional model, displays a flat, expressionless demeanor while posing, though she offers polite, albeit unnatural, compliments to the photographer. The narrator reveals that Ji-won comes from a squalid background in a slum, living with an alcoholic, abusive father, a mother involved in a shady religion, and a grandmother with dementia. Despite this miserable home life, Ji-won manages to support herself through modeling, carefully shielding her face from her father's violence to maintain her appearance and career prospects. The narrator, hiding via stealth, witnesses these interactions and pieces together her reality: a child who views her tragic backstory as a minor inconvenience rather than a source of sympathy. He also discovers that his past self, as a young college student, lived in the same neighborhood, confirmed by finding an ID card with his own face in a nearby apartment, though the name was glitched. This discovery sets up the narrator's current mission: to intervene in Ji-won's past to "imprint" the idea that she is destined to be Leviathan's Miko, thereby securing her loyalty for the current timeline's fight against the Outer God. He realizes he must forge a natural bond with this 14-year-old Ji-won, deciding that helping her with her commute and work is the most believable way to connect. A week later, he approaches her in an alley, introducing himself as a neighbor. Ji-won is skeptical of his offer to give her a free ride to Uijeongbu in his old Daewoo Matiz, correctly identifying the offer as suspicious and potentially stalker-like. She summarizes his proposal with cold precision, pointing out the logical inconsistencies and danger, leaving the narrator staring in silence as their first meeting ends in failure.
