Recap
Cain visits the church to consult with the gods about his extraordinary stats. Zenom acknowledges that Cain’s abilities are inhuman, jokingly offering him the status of a demigod—placing him in the same category as holy beasts and divine dragons. However, Zenom warns Cain not to push the limits of his power and advises him to seek help when needed. Additionally, Zenom requests Cain to use his knowledge from his previous life to create new entertainment for the world, as it lacks such diversions. Cain agrees, excited to introduce his ideas.
Later, while shopping for dresses with Reine, Cain feels uncomfortable in the boutique and steps outside. There, he encounters Parma, who is training at her uncle Tamanis’s shop. Cain meets Tamanis and explores the shop, then proposes an idea for a board game he calls "Reversi." Tamanis agrees to produce the game, and Cain provides a gold coin as an investment, surprising Tamanis with its value. Cain requests prototypes and funds the venture generously. To secure exclusivity, Cain and Tamanis draw up a contract blessed by the God of Commerce, ensuring that no one else can produce the game for three years. After finalizing the contract, the prototype disappears, sent to the gods for their enjoyment. Cain plans for mass production, including a version for the royal household, which Tamanis hesitates to create until Cain encourages him.
Returning home, Cain faces an angry Reine, upset that he forgot about her while she tried on dresses. To make amends, she models all her outfits for him at home, which Cain continuously praises. Just as it’s Cain’s turn to try on clothes, Sylvia interrupts to inform him that Tamanis has requested his presence again. At the shop, Cain finds the completed Reversi prototype and demonstrates the game to Tamanis and Parma, who are thrilled by its potential. Cain commissions 1,000 affordable versions and 50 luxury versions for nobles, providing additional funds to overcome production limitations.
As the debut ceremony approaches, Garm warns Cain to be cautious of parents introducing their daughters for marriage, given his baron title. At the ceremony, Cain encounters Duke Santana and Silk, who thank him again for saving Silk’s life. Cain compliments Silk’s dress, prompting the duke and Garm to note his mature speech. Cain later meets Telestia, whom he calls an angel, much to her father’s disapproval. He gifts a Reversi set to the royal family, surprising them with its novelty.
During the event, Silk approaches Cain, and they drop formalities, addressing each other casually. Soon after, Corgino’s son, Habit, and his lackeys approach, demanding Cain treat them with deference, assuming he’s the son of a baron. Cain refuses to apologize, and they challenge him to a duel outside. Habit’s lackeys cast weak spells with grand theatrics, amusing Cain. Silk interrupts, revealing Cain’s true rank as a baron, shocking the group and prompting their hasty apologies. Silk teases Cain about his cunning side, suggesting a date to keep her silence. Telestia overhears and demands a date as well, pouting when Cain agrees.
At that moment, the king overhears their conversation. Protective of Telestia, he declares that he must discuss Cain’s creation of the game and his relationship with his daughter, ensuring Cain’s attention is firmly fixed on the matters at hand.
