It all started when the protagonist downloaded a game called "The Fool (Beta Version)," marking a pivotal shift in the style of his life. This was no ordinary game; it lacked visuals and music, composed solely of lines of text and a multitude of choices. Yet, each decision within the game had the power to alter the player's destiny, for on the other side of the game lay a real, unknown world. Players were unable to physically enter this otherworld or see its landscapes, experiencing the alternate realm solely through text, vicariously living each step of their character's journey. As the game progressed, not only could rewards from the game materialize in the real world, but creatures from the game began to appear in reality as well. Then came the day the game was released for global public testing. An era quietly unfolded, where the masses embarked on explorations and treasure hunts in an alternate universe through 'textual adventure,' heralding a new chapter of engagement and discovery.

A WORLD WITHOUT FLAVOR In the continent of Vaeldra, food exists for one reason only: survival. Burnt meat, stale bread, bitter ale. No one questions it. No one ever has. The concept of flavor simply does not exist. Kael Dorne is a nineteen-year-old cook at a rundown tavern in a forgettable merchant town. Unremarkable by every measure. But he has always felt it — a hollow ache every time he sets a plate down. Something missing. Something he has no word for. Then the dreams begin. Every night, Kael wakes inside a kitchen that shouldn't exist — gleaming steel, controlled fire, the smell of butter browning in a copper pan. Hands that are not quite his own move with terrifying precision. He feels everything: the resistance of a knife against bone, the sting of shallots, the deep satisfaction of a perfect sear. He wakes weeping, not knowing why. And the smell of garlic — something he has handled a thousand times — suddenly feels like a memory of a home he never had. The dreams belong to Lucien Cassel, a three-Michelin-star French chef who died at the peak of his career. His memories, his technique, his decades of obsession — all of it now bleeds into Kael's sleeping mind, one fragment at a time. Kael doesn't understand what a Michelin star is. But he understands the fire. And he understands, with a certainty that frightens him, that everything he has ever cooked has been an insult to every ingredient he has ever touched. He begins to cook differently. Using the same crude ingredients available to everyone in Vaeldra — river trout, wild onions, coarse salt, dried herbs nobody uses — he starts creating dishes no one in this world has ever imagined. The first person to taste his food properly bursts into tears and cannot explain why. She leaves a gold coin on the table and never comes back. But she talks. Word spreads the way dangerous things always do — quietly, then all at once. Merchants want to own his recipes. Noble houses want to weaponize his cooking — because a man who can make a king weep over a bowl of soup is not a cook, he is a weapon. The Church declares his food a theological crisis, arguing that the pleasure it produces is either a miracle or a heresy, and neither option is safe for him. And somewhere in an imperial archive, a scholar uncovers an ancient prophecy about a figure called the Flavor Bringer — a person touched by knowledge from beyond the mortal world, whose cooking would either feed a new era of prosperity or ignite a war that reshapes the continent. He doesn't yet know the tavern boy is real.

But what seems like any fan's dream soon transforms into a lucid nightmare. Ima will not be slow to understand that the mechanics of a visual novel are atrocious when applied to real life.

Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention.

Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.
