Chapter 78 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 78

The chapter details the complex, multi-cycle relationship between the Regressor (referred to as Vice Guild Leader and later Undertaker) and Yu Ji-won. Initially, Yu Ji-won attempts to manipulate the Regressor by claiming she wants to be 'Time Sealed' with a specific 'happiest day' before her death, asking him to identify as a Regressor and Prophet in the next cycle to help her prepare. The Regressor recognizes this as the twisted logic of a psychopath who exploits regression for personal amusement. In the fifth cycle, during a battle against the Ten Legs, Yu Ji-won dies shielding the Regressor from a fatal attack, despite his ability to dodge it. Her final words ask for a promise regarding her next life. In the subsequent cycle, the Regressor delivers this message. Yu Ji-won, now silver-haired and wearing glasses, reveals she is aware of the Regressor's secrets, including a murder he committed at age fourteen (not fifteen) in Dobong Mountain (not North Korea), proving his regression claims. She joins the Samcheon World Guild, rapidly climbing from a low-level member to the Operations Manager and third-ranking executive under guild leader Dang Seo-rin. Her loyalty is absolute but stems from a calculated understanding that the Regressor holds complete memory of all cycles, making betrayal impossible without consequence. Over hundreds of cycles, spanning the collapse of society and the formation of the National Road Management Corps, Yu Ji-won continues to rise through the ranks, eventually becoming Operations Control Room Chief under Noh Do-hwa. Throughout 1183 cycles, she repeatedly postpones her own 'Time Sealing' by claiming she will be happier in the next cycle, using the Regressor as a courier for her delayed fulfillment. When asked directly if she is happy in a late cycle, she responds that she can be happier next time, revealing her true nature as an ultimate survivor optimized for the apocalypse, driven by an endless pursuit of incremental happiness and rank advancement rather than genuine contentment or loyalty born of affection.
