Chapter 327 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 327

The chapter begins with a dialogue between mc_narration (referred to as Mr. Matiz by Go Yuri) and Yu Ji-won. Yu Ji-won bluntly asks if Mr. Matiz wants to date her. When Mr. Matiz asks for a reason, she claims she would never date him even if she died and reincarnated 775 times. She clarifies this is not due to her being a minor, but a genuine lack of romantic interest. She then asks if he is suffering from erectile dysfunction, which angers him. She elaborates on a bizarre hypothetical where she becomes dictator and mandates daily perfume use so people can distinguish themselves, noting that strong scents act as tranquilizers. She suggests Mr. Matiz dye his hair with contrasting colors for identification in Japan, to which he humorously agrees to look like a 'Taeguk symbol'. Mr. Matiz reflects on his physical actions—training, clearing dungeons, defeating Void—as mere mechanical routines, while his mind is consumed by the concept of 'dyeing'. He deduces that human hair, scent, and Aura are manifestations of 'dyeing' by water-bug creatures connected to Leviathan. This leads him to realize Yu Ji-won’s motivation: she suffered from congenital prosopagnosia (face blindness). The narrative flashes back to memories of her as a child, unable to recognize her parents, hearing neighbors shout that the 'brat' couldn't even identify her own family. To her, people were indistinguishable fluid lumps. Because she could not recognize faces, she developed a psychopathic worldview where humans were just wiggling insects. Her desire to 'dye' the world stemmed from a desperate need to make individuals distinct so she could remember them. Mr. Matiz walks through a looted shopping mall, gathering seven different perfumes. He questions if humanity was fundamentally flawed, lacking the mental capacity to cope with the world's horrors. He decides to bridge the void between himself and the girl he once knew. He travels to a convenience store where he encounters the 14-year-old Yu Ji-won from seven years ago. She has silver hair and acts as the shop's proprietor. She questions his entrance, noting she set booby traps, and reveals she killed the previous occupants in self-defense after they attacked. Mr. Matiz asks for Marlboro Red cigarettes and offers to pay. As she hands them over, she attempts to strike him with a hatchet he had previously given her. He catches the blade effortlessly. He realizes the swing is identical to the one she used to kill her parents in earlier cycles. He reveals his true perspective: he initially thought Leviathan's power grew with infrastructure, but now understands Yu Ji-won grew stronger in tandem with his regression. He recalls the 5th cycle, where she asked him for passage to Japan and begged him to kill her to extend her life via Time Seal, so she could relive a specific day. She claimed she would serve him loyally, hiding her true aim of finding him across cycles. He apologizes for forgetting her after thousands of years. He mixes the seven perfumes he collected, creating his unique scent, and spritzes it. He introduces himself, and she smiles, welcoming him back, confirming she has been waiting.
