Chef System - My Second Life!

Hoshi Hideyoshi is a miserable, unhealthy and overworked 29-year-old software developer with no close friends or family members. He had many regrets regarding his life choices. He always wanted to become a world-class chef but didn’t pursue it. He wanted close friends but never looked. He wanted to experience love but was too afraid to reach out. Nearing his 30's and seeing others live happy, fulfilling and successful lives while he despises his own. He realized it's more important to follow his dreams and ambitions than have regrets. After a late-night shift, he looked upon the night sky and discovered a shooting star. He childishly decided to wish upon that star for a second chance at life. Not realizing his life was going to change for the better after he went to bed.

My Second Quest!

After completing my first quest, I got a second quest immediately.

[Ding, ding!]

------------------------------------------

[Quest - Your first word!]

[Objective: Surprise your parents with your first words!]

[Reward: Random Talent]

[Note: You no longer need to babble!]

------------------------------------------

It looked easier than my first quest, I hope to complete it quickly.

I have been babbling with different sounds to alert mom or dad of my needs.

I had trouble speaking for some odd reason, I previously spoke both English and Japanese.

Maybe the system prevented me from speaking because it was unnatural to speak so soon after birth.

If I remember correctly, babies generally speak basic words such as "no" or "bye" after nine months.

I am pretty sure I would have accidentally spilled the beans in front of my parents otherwise.

I will just assume the system is looking out for me.

I had to decide on my plan of action, how would I get both my parent's attention and what my first words will be?

I wanted it to be something special to me, but I really wanted to make my parents happy as well.

I decided to cry and get their attention then to yell "chef" when they were in the vicinity and follow up with "dada" and "mama".

Time to put my plan into action.

I started crying from my playpen to get my parents attention.

My mom and dad immediately rushed over to check up on me.

I took a deep breath and yelled "CHEF!".

My parents looked surprised and a little disappointed.

I quickly follow up with "mama" and "dada".

My mom immediately picked me up.

"My Hoshi is so smart!" she praised me.

"Good job son, now say mama and dada again!" my dad asked.

"mama, dada" I repeated.

My parents decided to perform a group hug and snuggled me tightly.

My mom started to pelt me with kisses and my dad patted on my head.

[Ding, ding!]

------------------------------------------

[Quest - Your first word!]

[Objective: Surprise your parents with your first words!]

[Reward: Charming voice talent]

[Note: A charming voice will help you become a world-famous chef!]

------------------------------------------

I decided to recheck my status window.

------------------------------------------

I clenched my fist tightly and made a determined facial expression, similarly to the success kid meme.

I just gained a super useful talent, I had so many ideas.

It will allow me to sound charming to my customers, I could release an audiobook of my recipes, I could host a cooking tv show like many other celebrity chefs and much more.

I originally thought I would only get cooking-related talents such as improve baking or a cooking affinity for a specific cuisine.

I can only assume any talents I get from the system will help me become a world-famous chef.

I could technically become a world-famous chef multiple ways such as my handsome looks, cooking skills, something random or unique.

I was intrigued, I really wanted a talent similar to eidetic memory or parallel thinking.

I would be able to remember everything, from customer orders to ingredients needed for a specific recipe.

Parallel thinking would improve my multitasking abilities, allowing me to prepare multiple orders at once and much more.

These will technically improve my ability as a chef but would improve my quality of life regardless of my career of choice.

I wanted more quests, I craved the rewards!
