Ray, now fully inhabiting the role of Viscount Terias, wastes no time. He orders his butler, John, to bring in two recently widowed women, Maya and Tina, under the guise of new attendants. His true intention is to use them for the Yin Yang life technique, a method the notepad ability revealed could extend his lifespan. With Maya, he pushes the boundaries, exploiting her vulnerability and shame, ordering her to strip and bend over, all while his notepad tracks her "bond" percentage. The scene culminates in Maya performing oral sex, pushing Terias to his first orgasm in this new life, and the notepad delivering a crucial update: "lifespan + 5 days," "corruption 5%," and "Ying Yang technique 10%." This confirms the cheat works, but also introduces the uncomfortable concept of "corruption" as a side effect. Ray's initial excitement is tempered by the precariousness of his position and the moral cost of his survival. He dismisses Maya to rest, but immediately begins calculating how to use this new power more effectively, realizing he needs more partners and further understanding of the technique's mechanics.

Terias's journey to Earl Scheta's mansion is brutally interrupted by an ambush in a desolate forest. His loyal butler, John, a Level 2 Ki warrior, single-handedly defeats a skilled assassin, showcasing a surprising depth of combat experience and strategic cunning. While John fights, Terias, confined to his carriage, attempts to use his "Reinforce" skill, feeling an addictive surge of strength, and gains a tiny but significant "+0.01 KI" from consistent breathing exercises during the ride. This is his first active step into martial arts. At the auction, Terias, using his Viscount title to write a cheque, outbids others for a "Recall Stone," an artifact capable of recording and replaying events. His first use of this stone is to spy on his own mansion, revealing his daughter-in-law Lily's affair with a servant. This moment solidifies his shift from a mere survivor to a manipulator, understanding that information is a powerful weapon in this treacherous world. The ambush and the acquisition of the Recall Stone push Terias to embrace a more proactive, ruthless approach to securing his position, knowing that unseen enemies are constantly plotting his demise.

At the Earl's mansion, Serena, the Earl's wife, proposes a deal: if Terias can "dominate" Alice Ressa, the Earl's second wife, he will gain access to Hike, an exclusive group for sexual escapades and information exchange. Terias's initiation into Hike involves retrieving a metallic artifact from Hexter's wife, Daisy's, vagina at a public event, a task he completes with a mix of audacity and physical manipulation, further cementing his willingness to exploit others. However, his indulgence is cut short when he gets drunk at a Hike event and wakes up kidnapped by Alice. Alice confronts him, not with Serena's blackmail video, but with a horrifying revelation: a Recall Stone recording of the previous Viscount Terias performing a demonic ritual, sacrificing twenty commoners for lifespan, a secret now held over Ray's head. Alice, who admits to spreading the ritual's method and materials, blackmails him into serving her, revealing that the ritual comes with an "insatiable desire to procreate," and resisting it worsens injuries. This forces Terias into a brutal, multi-day sexual encounter with Alice, where his notepad logs massive lifespan gains (+100 days, +70 days) alongside escalating "corruption" (Alice reaches 100%). This node marks a profound reversal, as Terias, the manipulator, becomes the manipulated, trapped by the dark legacy of his inherited body and forced into debauchery for survival.

Returning to his province after his forced servitude to Alice, Terias discovers that Earl Ian is behind the previous ambush and the original Viscount's injury. He also learns of his brothers' (Ekaros and Levon) involvement in plots against him, with Ekaros being a direct threat. He methodically plans to eliminate his enemies and consolidate power, even using blackmail to force Lily, his cheating daughter-in-law, to strip for him, and indulging in more sexual encounters with Tina and Maya, increasing his lifespan and corruption further. However, before he can execute his grand plans, Ekaros confronts him directly at his mansion. Despite Terias's newfound Ki training and enhanced skills, he is decisively defeated by Ekaros in a swift, humiliating battle. The novel abruptly pivots, showing John, his loyal butler, forced to serve Ekaros, and Terias himself banished from his own province, his power stripped, his plans shattered. The narrative then shifts entirely to a new protagonist, "Rae," leaving Terias's fate as a complete, utter failure, stripped of everything he gained and ending his story mid-stream in a devastating reversal.
