Chapter 77 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 77

The Undertaker, Go Yuir, reflects on his unique awakening ability, [Time Seal], which traps targets in their happiest day forever, serving as a final sedative for humanity during the end of the world. He introduces Yu Ji-won, a woman with rare SR-grade silver hair who approaches him seeking a way to escape the pain of life. The narrative shifts to recount how Yu Ji-won joined his inner circle during the 5th cycle. Yu Ji-won, then a subordinate to Guild Leader Dang Seo-rin, impressed Go Yuir by sharing his deep appreciation for *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* and related strategy games. Despite Dang Seo-rin’s skepticism regarding her lack of traditional merit, Yu Ji-won demonstrated her utility by citing her Latin major, which allowed her to translate lyrics and documents, prompting Go Yuir to promote her as his aide. Her primary asset is her 'Minimap' ability, which manifests as moving chess pieces on a map to track known enemies and allies. However, the ability has strict limitations: it only works in cities Yu Ji-won has physically visited, defined specifically as having visited a convenience store for over a minute. Go Yuir exploited this by traveling across the Korean Peninsula with her to ensure the Minimap covered the entire country, creating a comprehensive real-time surveillance network of key figures. While Samcheon World thrived under the triumvirate of Dang Seo-rin, Go Yuir, and Yu Ji-won, the broader world faced starvation and anomaly attacks. Yu Ji-won, driven by ambition and a desire for power, struggled with the grim reality of the cycles. She eventually attempted to flee to Japan or China, but Go Yuir revealed that escape routes were closed and her ability would be useless in unvisited foreign lands. Realizing she had no escape and facing despair, Yu Ji-won asked Go Yuir to use [Time Seal] on her. Go Yuir revealed his secret identity as a regressor, explaining that each cycle improves the world. Upon hearing that the 5th cycle was better than the 4th and that the 6th would be better still, Yu Ji-won reconsidered her request for death, arguing that being sealed in the 5th cycle would be a significant loss of potential, implying she intended to stay and help secure a better future.
