Chapter 62 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 62

The chapter opens with the Undertaker reflecting on his memoir’s title, seeking input from the web novel otaku Oh Dok-seo. Oh Dok-seo harshly critiques his proposals, such as 'The Regressor's Epilogue' and 'The Infinite Regressor's Daily Café,' dismissing them as cringe-inducing. Frustrated by the generational gap in taste, the Undertaker concedes, promising not to interfere if Oh Dok-seo provides the final title, a decision he later regrets due to Oh Dok-seo’s questionable judgment. The narrative then shifts to the death of Jung Sang-guk, the former Mayor of Busan, who is revealed to be Lee Ha-yul’s biological father. The Undertaker intervenes just as Lee Ha-yul prepares to commit suicide out of grief or guilt over her role in his death. He persuades her to redirect her lethal talents toward protecting humanity from anomalies, arguing that her survival is crucial. Lee Ha-yul accepts this condition, provided the Undertaker makes no lies. He agrees, noting his own aversion to marriage and fatherhood makes the promise easy to keep. She joins his guild, and the text details her recurring recruitment across multiple regression cycles, where she serves as an A-class supporter. Initially, she resides in the guild hideout, though the Saintess refuses to host her, citing incompatible personalities. Around the 54th cycle, the Undertaker brings Noh Do-hwa, the Master Artisan, into the fold. He requests a prosthetic leg for Lee Ha-yul, who lacks physical legs entirely but suffers from phantom pain and curses. Noh Do-hwa, known for her blunt demeanor and unique ability to perceive lost body parts, examines Lee Ha-yul. Despite her usual impatience, she professionally measures the missing limbs and agrees to craft metal prosthetics. After a rushed five-day turnaround—shorter than the estimated month—Noh Do-hwa delivers the legs in a box engraved with Lee Ha-yul’s name. Upon fitting them, Lee Ha-yul stands for the first time since infancy, expressing profound gratitude to both Noh Do-hwa and the Undertaker. The chapter concludes with a reflective tone, noting that while Lee Ha-yul often used a wheelchair, there were moments, like watching a meteor shower, where she stood freely, destined to die as a human rather than a doll.
