alley dangers

I decided to retire in search of freedom. But then, what the hell is this? “Nice to meet you. My name is Paheren von Dekulan.” Goddammit… Isn’t it a bit much for the head of a noble house to personally come after one runaway hound? Huh? “Return once more to the shadow of Dekulan.” What? Return to the shadow? Wow, what a tempting offer… my ass! After all the effort I put into deciding to retire, you think I’d become a dog again? It’s an inevitable death, but I will face it head-on! Better to die a free wyvern than live as a pampered dog! But then… “…?” I’m not dead? “Heheh. I see, I see how it is.” As the old saying goes, even a hundred years is too soon for a great sage’s revenge. I’ll show you the revenge of a true great sage! The return of a back-alley mage who started out as a vagrant! (I'm just translating this, this novel and all its rights belongs to the Author: 카이로스)

At thirty-two, Shen Yichen had everything people envied—a prestigious position as an executive chef, a generous salary, and recognition from the culinary world. Yet every day felt emptier than the last. After walking away from the luxury restaurant that consumed his youth, he rents a tiny twelve-seat eatery hidden in Lotus Lane, an old street where time seems to slow down. There are no extravagant dishes, no celebrity guests, and no dreams of Michelin stars. There is only one promise. Every morning, he buys the freshest ingredients. Every day, he serves a single homemade menu. And when the last bowl is sold, the restaurant closes. As the seasons change, Today's Table quietly becomes the heart of the neighborhood. A retired engineer who always arrives ten minutes early, an exhausted nurse coming off night shifts, a talkative taxi driver, a shy university student, a little girl who fills the walls with drawings, and a florist whose gentle smile slowly becomes part of his daily routine—all find warmth within its wooden doors. Some come hungry. Some come lonely. Some come carrying burdens too heavy to share. But everyone leaves with a full stomach... and a lighter heart. This is not a story about becoming the greatest chef in country. It is a story about ordinary people, simple meals, changing seasons, quiet love, lifelong friendships, and the little restaurant that reminds everyone that no matter how difficult today has been, there will always be a warm seat waiting tomorrow. "One bowl of soup. One familiar smile. One ordinary day at a time."
