'A Culinary Adventure in the Game World!!'

Kai never asked for this. One minute, he’s stuck in a dead-end life, barely scraping by. Next, he’s reincarnated into a game world, trapped in the body of the Darklord. But there's a twist—he doesn’t just inherit the Darklord’s power. No, Kai is cursed with something far worse: a Culinary System that can turn food into magic, potions, and weaponry.

In a world where culinary prowess is power, Kai has to master his cooking skills to survive. Can he turn scraps into a full course of victories, or will he fall victim to the game's deadly rules? As he navigates treacherous quests, forms unlikely alliances, and battles powerful foes, Kai learns that his new identity as the Darklord isn't just about power—it's about survival.

But he's not the only one after the game’s ultimate secrets. A mysterious Crimson Guild, bent on using Kai’s Culinary System to take control of the world, is hot on his heels. To escape this game, Kai will need to unlock the true potential of his cooking, master ancient recipes, and discover how to break free from the game... but can he do all that before the Guild catches up with him?

A world of dangerous quests, supernatural enemies, and magic-infused meals await!

The Culinary System. The Darklord’s power. And a feast of deadly secrets.

The game has just begun.

The stranger sat on the edge of the bed, still looking tired and scared from the night, even though the soft morning light was coming through the small window. Kai stood by the door, watching him with kindness, before walking into the room. He spoke quietly but with confidence, offering comfort and support. "You're safe here," he said, looking at the stranger with understanding. "Whatever happened, it's over now. This room is yours for as long as you need it. No one will hurt you, no one will come after you. You can rest here and take your time."
