Chapter 441 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 441

The chapter opens with a flashback to the aftermath of the Saintess's surrender. Ignorant onlookers mocked Jeong Ye-ji for collapsing within a week, unaware that she had actually endured the full seven days, outlasting all other challengers like Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa. Lee Ha-yul, having orchestrated this outcome through 'killing with a borrowed knife' by directing all aggression toward Sim Ah-ryeon, secured her position to live with 'Mister' (Go Yuir). Ha-yul reveals her manipulative plan: she didn't care if Mister ended up single or with someone else, as long as she remained the favorite, declaring 'Sayonara' before moving in. Back in the present, Oh Dok-seo (LiteraryGirl) calls Go Yuir to the recollection room. She attempts to confess that in a past cycle, she illegally wrote side stories. Mister, whose Complete Memory was removed due to Udumbara infection and who now suffers from fading recall, agrees to a request to bundle future side stories into one episode. However, Oh Dok-seo pushes for permission to write detailed romance side stories featuring Mister with various heroines. When Mister refuses, citing he never had such romances, Oh Dok-seo reveals a dark truth: he *did* live these cycles, but Go Yuri manipulated the timeline to ensure Mister would never remember. Go Yuri fixed the regression coordinates so that if Mister gave up, the cycle would reset, but his memory of 'giving up' would be erased, leaving only the memory of trying. This meant Mister had been repeating cycles 1 through 146 countless times, potentially nearly 3,000 cycles total, effectively trapped in a loop of despair that Go Yuri designed to keep him going. Overcome by this revelation of Mister's endless suffering, Oh Dok-seo feels a mix of grief and satisfaction that he cannot remember. She reveals she has prepared a drug using Uehara Shino's pre-infection alchemy items to reverse Mister's C-rank status back to S-rank. She then puts Mister into a deep slumber, takes out her laptop, and activates the final 'Side Story Creation' authority. Using the remaining canvases, she begins writing 'bad endings'—true events that were erased from reality—while marking the remaining routes as 'falsehoods' to be written as fiction. The chapter ends with Oh Dok-seo grinning, ready to force Mister to play through the 'true ending' of 100% completion, manipulating the narrative to give him back the happy endings he lost, even if they must be written as lies to be true.
