Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 11

Kalon snorted as he watched X moving around busily.

“Hey, I guess I saw this somewhere.”

“Did you just look? “I just fried it until I got sick of it.”

Sizzle!

X looked at the boiling oil and closed his eyes tightly. I didn’t know that I would smell oil in Fate too. I wasn’t in a good mood, but now was the time to focus on cooking.

‘It’s a shame I don’t have frying powder, but I can do it.’

Although the materials were lacking, there was a part of X that he believed in.

A heavenly dish!

It seemed like if I moved my body as the black smoke guided me, I would definitely end up with delicious chicken. X muttered so quietly that no one could hear.

“Heavenly cuisine.”

Ssssss!

Black smoke rose and enveloped X’s body. However, it was clear that only X could see the black smoke since no one recognized it.

‘also!’

X, who had surrendered himself to the black smoke, was delighted. Black Smoke was creating the optimal recipe with the given ingredients. It was truly worthy of the name ‘Heaven’.

Kalon seemed surprised and let out an exclamation.

“Oh my…”

And not long after, X’s dish was completed.

Golden brown!

Just looking at the fried chicken made my mouth water. What effect does it have? His mouth watered, but X held back and handed the plate to Calon.

“Hmm, it may look perfect on the outside, but the taste is important.”

Crispy! Kalon took a bite of fried chicken.

X swallowed dry saliva and swallowed Kalon’s reaction.

‘I’m drooling when I see chicken, so of course it’s delicious.’

I’m sure you’ll be amazed.

However, X’s predictions were spectacularly wrong.

Because Kalon’s eyes started to get moist.

“Why?”

Kalon shed tears.

Those in the kitchen, including X, were dumbfounded.

X asked cautiously on their behalf.

“Why am I suddenly crying…?”

“That can’t be possible!”

“What on earth do you mean by that?”

“Why can I feel his touch in this dish!”

Wait, is it him?

At Kalon’s shout, X quickly shook his head.

‘Could this be… referring to that man?’

A mysterious man who gave him candy.

The only thing that came to mind was that man.

After meeting that man, I got a job as a heavenly gourmet.

X asked again.

“Mr. Calon, could you tell us a little more about him? “Maybe I have met him.”

“…is that really true?”

“Yes, I’m not sure. “There is one thing I want to point out.”

Kalon nodded at X’s words.

Kalon, who wiped his tears with his sleeve, spoke loudly.

“Okay, let’s do that. But it’s a story that can’t be told in a place where there are so many people watching. Listen, today’s business ends here! “Ask for understanding from the guests and let them go back!”

*

‘What are you taking this time to talk about?’

X sat across from Kalon at the table.

There were only two people in his restaurant, Ex and Kalon.

After much deliberation, Kalon opened his mouth.

“…The words I will say from now on are far from common sense. “When all is said and done, you might think I’m crazy.”

“Don’t say such sad things.”

“Hehe, I hope that is sincere.”

Kalon continued with a bitter smile.

“Have you ever heard of the name Gourmet King?”

Gourmet King!

How could I forget?

A job quest that started forcibly upon changing jobs. Reveal the truth about the Gourmet King! It is a quest whose difficulty cannot be measured. X was a name I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to.

“I know a little bit about the Gourmet King.”

“okay? I guess you’ve heard of the legend of the Gourmet King. “I’m talking about the person who was said to have commanded the world with tremendous power 300 years ago and contributed to the founding of the Kingdom of Arba, but who went missing in his later years.”

Kalon stared out the window with a wistful expression.

X, who was listening to Kalon’s words, could not help but be astonished.

‘…Wait, 300 years ago?’

The mysterious man’s words passed through my mind.

-I wonder how long it has been since I ate food that was so precious and touched by human touch… I had barely even remembered it. It seems to be about 300 years old.

‘That means… that man is the king of gourmets, right?’

Wasn’t it an exaggeration to say that we starved for 300 years?

X felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head. However, X knew nothing about the mysterious Gourmet King.

For now, I should have just shut up and listened to Calon a little more.

“Yes, he is a person from 300 years ago. Already lost to history… But it’s true that I felt his touch in your food. “His great recipe would have spread throughout the Fate World.”

Kalon shrugged his shoulders and said brightly.

“Perhaps what you met is someone related to him like me, someone who inherited his recipes like me. Did you learn to cook from him? “Maybe I should formally apologize for this.”

The friendly voice and harsh tone were everywhere.

Kalon seemed to welcome X.

But that is a clear illusion.

‘Should I tell the truth here?’

X meets the Gourmet King who went missing 300 years ago!

Not only did they meet, but they also ate strange candies and changed jobs to become heavenly gourmets. X remained silent, answering with a smile.

‘It was said that he ruled the world with tremendous power and contributed to establishing the Kingdom of Arba. Yes, considering the deceitfulness of the heavenly gourmet, that will remain.’

Heavenly taste, heavenly capture, heavenly cuisine.

Considering that even The Gourmet King will use that power freely.

Kalon seemed excited to hear the story of the Gourmet King that had been around for the first time in a while. He sipped his tea and asked X.

“X Do you know about ‘history’?”

“History? “I’m embarrassed, but honestly, I don’t know much.”

History here clearly refers to Fate’s world view. However, it was difficult for X to level up and find useful information. Therefore, I did not do much research into Fate’s story.

Kalon’s eyes sparkled.

“A recipe that can be said to be the will of a gourmet king. The person who inherited the recipe deserves to know the ‘truth’. Like I said earlier, you might think I’m crazy, but… everything I say from now on is true.”

Kalon whispered, lowering his voice in case anyone would hear.

“It was the Gourmet King who founded the Kingdom of Arba 300 years ago.”

“!”

A gourmet king who founded a nation rather than made a contribution? Kalon’s story that followed was enough to take X’s soul away.

“…Such crazy.”

X let out an exaggerated sigh without realizing it.

To summarize Kalon’s long and lengthy words, it was as follows.

Arba Kingdom!

The Kingdom of Arba, which has the largest territory in Fate World, was actually a country founded by the King of Gourmet.

However, soon after ascending the throne, the Gourmet King went missing for ‘some reason’, and at first the subjects who were waiting for him became greedy and rebelled.

As a result of the betrayal, King Arba’s place was taken by ‘Las Loren’, the right hand man of the Gourmet King. It is said that Las Loren purged the Gourmet King’s loyal subjects who remained in the palace.

Those who fled to every corner of the Fate World to avoid the purge remembered the legend of the Gourmet King and passed it on to their descendants.

However, that alone was not enough to respond to Las Loren.

Las Loren was the first to distort history. The Gourmet King’s loyal subjects, who were scattered all over the place, had no way to stop the distortion, and the Gourmet King was eventually buried in 300 years.

X, with a burnt throat, tilted the cooled tea cup.

gulp!

[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘herbal tea’!]

[The aroma of herbal tea is absorbed into the body!]

[Intelligence increases by 1 point!]

“Narville is my great-grandfather in a city not far from the capital. You know that it is dark under the lamp. “The decision to hide in Narville was correct.”

Kalon swallowed a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, X noticed the true intention hidden in the quest.

‘It wasn’t a lie that history depended on this.’

The truth behind the legend of the Gourmet King was this.

Then, I understood the quest whose difficulty cannot be measured.

The place the quest points to is the throne of Arba!

The goal is to reveal the truth about the Gourmet King and hand over the throne of Arva, occupied by the Las Loren family, to the ‘real owner’. But X had one question.

‘But the Gourmet King wasn’t kicked out; he came down from the throne on his own feet. But now you’re going to return to the throne again? He didn’t seem like a person with that kind of ambition…’

The Gourmet King was a beggar who didn’t seem to have any trace of wealth.

But what about the quest to take the throne again….

As X was thinking deeply, his eyes widened.

‘I wonder why they gave me this fraudulent job…?’

I remembered one thing I had forgotten.

There is nothing free in this world.

If you get a gift for free, you have to take responsibility for it. There was only one reason why the Gourmet King chose X as his successor.

‘This means asking me to clean up after myself.’

Loyal subjects who suffered unnecessary humiliation because of themselves.

The plan was to become the ‘Gourmet King’ and take revenge on them. It is to reclaim the throne of Arba!

I’m just getting used to Fate World.

But what kind of sudden lightning is this?

X let out a harsh sigh once again.

“…Have you ever seen a quest with such crazy difficulty?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
