'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.

Varaan halted at the edge of the nearest sigil, her expression tightening, though her features remained as cold and unreadable as ever. Still, Kai knew her well enough to see the tension in her stance—the way her hand drifted to the blade at her hip, not drawn, but near. She studied the markings in silence, her eyes flickering with the faint red glow that came when her instincts sharpened, when blood memories stirred in the back of her mind. "They knew we'd come," she said finally, her voice low, the words almost stolen by the wind. It was not a statement made in fear, but in acknowledgment. A fact. A truth that weighed as much as the mountain.
