After an nonstop three day baking binge, Benedictus Agnes, finds himself transported to another world. Unlike other heroes, he is suddenly sent to the Backend, a small town overlooking the sea. 
Dropped in the middle of nowhere, our hero only has one plan: get cooking!

As we reach to our house and Akari opened the Door. When she saw Venelana and Ingvild she got surprised after which Venelana said
Venelana :"Hello Akari, How are you? "
Akari :"I am fine Venelana, but don't tell me-"
Venelana :"what are you thinking Akari, I am just here to meet all of you. "
Akari :"Oh and Who is she? "
Ingvild :"Hello, I am Ingvild Leviathan. Issei is helping me to control my powers so I will be living with you. "
Akari :"Hello Ingvild, I am Akari Himejima, Issei girlfriend. "
Serafall :"Hello Akari, Magical Girl Levia-tan 💕 is here. "
Akari :"Hello, Serafall. So you are also going to live with us now. "
Serafall :"Yes, I am also going to live with you all and my Sona-tan and my Darling 💕"
Sona :"Sigh, Okay let's go inside first. "
After this we all went inside. When Everyone saw Tiamat inside with other girls, They were surprised
. Although they knew that Ophis was living with us but for Tiamat one of the Dragon Kings, also being here they didn't expected it. Venelana was also shocked to see Gabriel and Griselda but was more surprised to know that Griselda is also my girlfriend. 

After everyone introduced themselves to Ingvild as she was new to them, Venelana said 
Venelana :"Adia, Ravel, I think you both are really enjoying here. "
Adia :"Yes Venelana, I am really happy with him and others present here. "
Ravel :"Yes Lady Gremory, I am also happy being  with Issei. "
Venelana is happy to know that her friend is now happy with a new family after which she looked towards Tiamat and said
Venelana :"So Tiamat, Why are you also with him? "
Tiamat :"Well, I am a friend of him at least for now until he make his move on me. so I am also living with him. "
Hearing her I can't say anything. I do plan to make her my girlfriend but first I want to resolve the clash between her and Ddraig. But then Ddraig spoke 
Ddraig :"So you want him to make a move on you huh. "
Although Venelana was a bit surprised hearing Ddraig's voice first time but she composed herself instantly and Then Tiamat said
Tiamat :"why would I not want him? He is strong, handsome and take good care of his girls. I have also started to like him now. "
Venelana :"Well you are right. He is really strong and handsome and also good in nature."
Ophis :"Yes, He is strong. "
When Ophis called me strong, Rose and others only nodded at her words. After this Akeno said
Akeno :"Ms.Venelana, I think you should also taste his cooking, Then you will have another compliment for him. "
Shuri :"Yes, Venelana. He is very good at cooking. "
Koneko :"Yes Ms. Venelana, Darling's Cooking is very good Nya~"
Venelana :"Well if you are all saying this so I think I should have a taste of his cooking. "
After this she turned towards me and said
Venelana :"So Issei aren't you going to cook for me. "
Le Fay :"Yes, I also haven't tasted your cooking. "
Gabriel :"I also want to taste it. "
Griselda :"Issei, You didn't tell me about this, huh. Well I also want to eat your cooking now. "
Issei :"Well, Ok. It also has been many days since I last cooked for everyone. "
Issei :"Tsubasa, Momo, Reya, Tsubaki, Tomoe will also need your help. "
All four :"Ok"
After this I took their hands and we went inside the Kitchen as I talked to Jen
Issei :"Jen, can you show me the recipe of a good hotpot. "

[Yes Issei, 
Recipe -
Simple Hotpot - 500,000 SP
Red chilli Hotpot - 730,000 SP
..... 
Chinese Hotpot recipe - 1,000,000 SP
.. 
Asian Red Curry Hotpot - 1,000,000 SP ]

"Buy Me the Asian Red Curry and Chinese Hot Pot Recipe "

We have already reached the kitchen so I said to the girls. 
Issei :"Tsubaki, You are going to help me with chicken. "
Issei :"Momo, Reya , I want you to chop the vegetables. here is the size and quantity you have to chop. "
Issei :"Tsubasa,Tomoe, I need you to get these things for me. "
Then I took a paper and wrote all things I will need to make the Hotpots. After this we all started making them as I guided them what to do because they didn't knew much about cooking. I went behind Tsubaki as she was cutting chicken and hold her hand from behind as I said
Issei :"You have to cut them more smaller. "
Tsubaki :"Well they are still the same size when you are cutting them. "
Issei :"So do you really think I asked you all to come with me only for cooking? "
Tsubaki :"Well I didn't really expected that you will need help in cooking so I guessed it from start. "
Issei  :"well then can I have my kiss now. "
Tsubaki :"I was already ready for it when we entered here. "
Saying this she turned backwards as she placed her lips on mine and we started our passionate kiss as our tongues started intertwining to each other's. While we were kissing I put my left hand on her breast as I started massaging them. She also put her hands behind my neck as she pulled it more closer. I also put my hands behind her head. 

After we ended our kiss, Tsubasa said
Tsubasa :"So our Darling's real objective was this all along. "
Momo :"I thought you really needed our help in cooking. "
Reya :"Yes, but this is also good for us. "
Tomoe :"Yep, we can get our Darling to only us for now. "
I didn't say anything as I released Tsubaki and get to Tsubasa and started kissing her lips and massaging her breast like with Tsubaki. After finishing my kiss with Tsubasa it was Momo then Reya and then Tomoe's turn. After this it was time full of our little fun while I also cooked food and guided them. 

After we finished cooking I called everyone to dinner room. Where we served them the Hotpots we made with so much 'hardwork'. When they all tasted it they started complimenting me and othersothers as Venelana said
Venelana :"You really can cook, Issei. "
Tiamat :"Yes it's great to eat this Hotpot. "
Ophis :"It's Good. "
Le Fay :"Thank you for making this for us. "
Griselda :"well now I am going to have some great food everyday from you. "
Gabriel :"Yes Griselda, I also want to eat it more everyday. "
Raynare :"My Darling is really good in everything. "
Rose :"Yes, He is. "
Adia :"Venelana, I told you that he is good in it. "
Venelana :"Yes, I am also thinking to make him cook for us more. "
Shuri :"Well if you also start living with us you can have it everyday. "
When Shuri said this word everyone looked towards her only to see her smiling face to which Venelana said
Venelana :"You already know about it Shuri even then you are saying this. "
When Venelana said those words we all couldn't understand what she was referring to except Akari, Sara and Shuri who nodded at her words and smiled on hearing this. Rias was going to say something but then Ingvild spoke up 
Ingvild :"I also like this food. Even if I didn't eat for this many years but it's favour is really good. "
Hearing her everyone remembered that she has really not eaten anything for more than 100 years. To which everyone could only sympathies with her. 

While we were all eating our food, Kuroka said
Kuroka :"Nya~, Darling~, I want you to feed me. "
Saying this she got closed to me as she opened her mouth waiting for me to feed her. But then an idea crossed my mind as I put one bite in my mouth and kissed Kuroka and feed her mouth -to-mouth, felling my lips Kuroka just gulped the bite before she started sucking my lips. After we broke our kiss She said
Kuroka :"It tastes much better like this, Nya~"
Koneko :"It's not fair to only feed big sis like this Nya~"
Saying this she also got closed to as she signaled me to also feed her. So I did the same as I did with Kuroka. After this I had to feed everyone by kiss including Yubelluna and her other peerage. Ingvild was embarrassed as she lowered her head and ate her food while still peeking at us from time to time. Le Fay and Gabriel are also embarrassed seeing this. After we finished our kiss Ophis said
Ophis :"I also want to eat like this, Issei "
When I heard her words I couldn't help but be shocked but she had already opened her mouth. Seeing me not moving she put the food in my mouth by her hands as she kissed me and started gulping the food, After she gulped her food she started sucking on my lips like others.

All the while I didn't move due to shock. Others are also staring at us in shock. After she finished kissing me she said
Ophis :" It is really good like this. "
Issei :"Huh.... "
After this Tiamat spoke breaking everyone's silence as she said
Tiamat :"Now I can't wait for you to make move on me so-"
Saying this she put her lips on mine not for eating food but for kissing me and playing with my tongue. When she started kissing me I also came back from my shock due to Ophis. After she stopped kissing me. She said
Tiamat :"Now it is good. "
Hearing her words I didn't say anything as Venelana giggled putting her hands on her mouth and said
Venelana :"Well congratulations Issei on getting two more girls. "
Shuri :"Yes Darling I didn't knew this will turn out like this. "
Xenovia :"Tch.. now he also have The Ouroboros Dragon and one of The Five Dragon kings as his girlfriend. "
Griselda :"Well I don't know what to say. "
Gabriel :"Isn't it good that he is getting another girlfriend. "

We didn't say anything on Gabriel's words. Le Fay and Ingvild also still blushing hard as they have lowered their head. I also can't say anything on Ophis and Tiamat's actions. Although I knew about Tiamat feelings but for Ophis it was really a shock to me but still I think it was just that everyone was doing it so she also did it. 

After this we all finished our food. and went to sleep. We all slept on our bed except Venelana and Ingvild as they together sleep I  Rias and Sona's room.

A boy with his cheats and his phones will travel to all different worlds to get all the girls he ever wanted either it's dxd or ATG or any other possible universe through his phone

I don't own any work of dxd or ATG or any other anime manga, or novels shown in this novel. 
Any of the Covers are not mine. 



Starting chapters have a bunch of mistakes due to me not checking them beforehand. so please don't just give it a bad review. I have tried to improve in next chapters. So hope you will like it.

The corner of her eyes saw a stack of cards on the desk. They were used to record her inspirations on the go.
She got an idea!
Lu Zhanbei stepped into the dining room and saw a deluge of delicacies on the table by the French window.
Not Western dishes, but Asian cuisines that Lin Wanwan spent the whole day making.
He smiled unnoticeably. I shall forgive this girl for the effort she's put into this.
"Welcome back."
Lin Wanwan had greeted him warmly. The moment she walked close to the man, he tugged her into his arms, and a kiss landed on her lips.
"This kiss is enough for my birthday gift."
Lin Wanwan froze for a second before smirking. "But I've already prepared a gift for you." 
Lu Zhanbei didn't see that coming. He lifted his brows in curiosity. "Let me take a look."
"I'll show you later. Let's eat for now."
"Ok."
The pair sat facing each other.
The atmosphere was great, and the floral scent in the air was enveloping them.
Lin Wanwan looked up and met a pair of wavy eyes.
His handsome face was making her dizzy under the gentle light.
Unfortunately, it quickly came to an end.
Butler Ying's voice echoed in the dining room. "Sir, there are guests at the door."
"Who are they?"
Lu Zhanbei was visibly agitated.
He'd canceled Shen Zhiyi and Mo Chen's invitation just for a night with Lin Wanwan.
"It's… Master Lu."
SSS!
The knife screeched against the plate.
Lu Zhanbei's voice came the next second. "Tell him to get lost."
Butler Ying was put in a hard spot. "The master brought his men here. He asked me to relay the message that he would force his way in if you don't open the door. He also said that you can forget about enjoying yourself after what you have done to him."
Lu Zhanbei knew that his father would do precisely what he said.
He was willing to give in for the sake of tonight.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Butler Ying let out a sigh of relief. Moments later, well-suited Lu Zhengyu stomped into the room. He clicked his tongue as he studied the room.
Walking up to the table, he pulled a chair out and made himself comfortable.
"What a coincidence that I haven't had my dinner. Let's eat together."
As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and tasted the fermented fish dish.
"Who made this?"
Lin Wanwan replied with a simper, "Is it nice?"
Lu Zhengyu glanced at her, not hiding the disdain on his face. "The worst dish I've ever tasted in this world."
His words got on Lu Zhanbei's nerves. "I made this according to Madam Yu's recipe."
Lu Zhengyu's expression went stiff. He glared at Lu Zhanbei before taking a few mouthfuls of the dish.
"Can't believe you are learning to cook now, how shameful! However, the dish tastes fine; it must be the recipe that's doing the work."
Lu Zhanbei smirked.
Lin Wanwan guessed that Madam Yu was the apple of Lu Zhengyu's eyes.
When Lu Zhengyu was about to finish the entire plate of fermented fish, Lin Wanwan said with smiley eyes, "To be honest… I made this dish. Thank you for your compliment."
As he heard this, the bite inside Lu Zhengyu's mouth became hard to chew and his expression became a circus show.
He turned to Lu Zhanbei in a fury. "Bastard!"


Lin Wanwan is a pitiful mentally-disabled girl. Not only does she suffer abuse from her stepmother, her stepmother even attempts to use her as a sexual commodity to pleasure others. Eventually, the poor Wanwan dies from an overdose…

Perhaps a god or a devil had witnessed her tragic fate, but Wanwan gets a brand new chance at life—an external soul takes over her body and gains Wanwan's memories.

The resurrected Lin Xiao swears to seek revenge for Wanwan.

Having witnessed Wanwan's death and resurrection process, Tang Chen is intrigued by the changes she undergoes. When he tries to cheat Wanwan to gain possession of her, a knight descends from the sky and saves her. He allows her to seek his help thrice.

Just who is this mysterious knight?

The revived Wanwan demonstrates her astounding talent and intelligence. Not only does she leave her enemies helpless against her, but she also becomes a celebrity who sweeps through the entertainment industry. Who exactly is she?

When Wanwan interacts more with the knight, she realizes that he is actually a devil…

"From this moment forth, every inch of your body is mine. Resistance is futile."

He had descended like Satan, wantonly occupying her body and mind…

It's fine. Even if he's the devil, he would still be trampled beneath her feet.

"If I'm a candle that'll blow out anyway, I want to light a fire on a big mountain, so that my shadow will stain the mountain and never get erased."

Kaya spoke in her usual confident voice and bright presence. The white chef suit that she had on made her look more vibrant than any fancy dress, and on her face was a confident smile that some perceived as unlikable.

She had a face that kept her guard up with people, but no hostility or jealousy could be felt from it. That was the face that Cho Min Joon looked up to. The confidence that chefs required. She might have been rough around the edges, but she had a strong ego that could be sensed in every single word she spoke, and she had so much ambition that it was a little dangerous. That was the reason why Kaya Reuters was so lovable.

But as soon as Cho Min Joon reached out his hand, he realized that his arm was too short. No, he was too small. He was so small that she couldn't even detect him.

He immediately felt disgusted and felt like a cockroach. Cho Min Joon sprung up with a pale look on his face as if he had seen a ghost. A dream. Normally, he would have been relieved by this, but not this time. This time, he felt even more disgusted. The dream he just had was showing him a reflection of his true self.

He breathed in and out heavily. Cho Min Joon felt his sweaty neck and knitted his brows. It was an unpleasant morning.

That feeling didn't disappear even after he showered and left his room. He was so down that even Kaya, who tried to speak to him in the hall, flinched.

"… Did you have diarrhea or something?"

"Make me breakfast."

"You're treating me like a maid now. I only promised to make you breakfast until I get disqualified, so it won't be long."

"Are you planning to be disqualified soon?"

"… No, I'm going to win."

"Then you'd better keep making me breakfast."

In response to Cho Min Joon's casual remark, Kaya showed a mysterious look on her face

"You want me to keep making you breakfast?"

"I'm just kidding. That'd make me a con, not a chef. But… I'm surprised you kept your promise until now. Good work."

"Hmph. I told you. Just because I grew up poor doesn't mean I don't' have a conscience."

"Yeah. I believe you."

Kaya was only able to grow so much because she grew up in a clean and upright environment. He suddenly saw her as a star. A star that he couldn't quite reach. Although they had the same opportunity and breathed in the same place, why was it that he kept falling behind?

"… Why do you always get so serious in weird places?"

"What's weird? I'm just talking about trust between people."

"Forget it. You always make me into the weird one."

Kaya grimaced and turned around. He wanted to pinch her cheeks, but he was afraid he would be charged for sexual assault. But of course, Kaya would never call the police on him.

While Kaya headed over to the pantry, Cho Min Joon went with her and looked through the ingredients. Kaya looked at him in surprise.

"What's gotten into you? You always make me make breakfast."

"I had a stimulating dream. If I don't make an effort even in the small things…"

"Sigh, stop working so hard. I like that about you, but it's frustrating at times."

Cho Min Joon smiled without a word. He normally had this personality, but he really didn't have a choice now. There were many people who wanted to go back in time, and he was one of them. He didn't know why or how he came back in time. It was possible that there was no reason, and he was just lucky, but he didn't care. All he knew was one thing. That time had turned back, and he was given an opportunity. The opportunity to cook. If he missed this chance. Cho Min Joon could no longer be confident with himself.

"It's because I want to be a great chef like you."

"You're sucking up so I'd make better food, aren't you?"

"All the food Kaya Reuters makes is delicious."

"Ugh, stop complimenting me. You're grossing me out."

She said that, but her face was smiling. She tried to wipe it off her face and then let out her anger.

"Hey! Stop making me smile!"


"Why? What's so embarrassing about that?"

"Ugh, I don't know. I'm going to cook. The kitchen is a dangerous place if you let your guard down! You know that, right?"

"Are you trying out for a public safety commercial now?"

Kaya didn't answer and glared her eyes. If he thought of this as cute, did that mean he was blind? Since she was no different from an idol in his eyes, it was understandable why he felt that way. Kaya rubbed her eyes and said, "Ouch, my eyes hurt. What should I make for breakfast?"

"I'm good with porridge or paella."

"If Chloe was here, she would lecture us about consuming too much carbohydrates."

"It's not like we're bodyguards… I mean bodybuilders. You don't even work out."

"Yes, I do. I even lift those weights."

"Only a few times."

Kaya looked away without answering. Cho Min Joon shook his head.

"You have to get rid of the idea that you can only eat eggs for breakfast. I really hate eating eggs for breakfast."

"What? Why?"

"My mouth and throat get all dry while sleeping, so imagine an egg going in. It's gross."

"That's why you eat sausages and bacon with it. It's the savory flavor of the egg that makes everything come alive. You don't understand that?"

"I hate eating oily food like sausages and bacon for breakfast. I'd rather grill a fish."

"Fish is oily, too. I understand your cooking style, but stop being so narrow-minded!"

In response to Kaya, Cho Min Joon's face turned blank. He stared at Kaya as if he was possessed. Kaya knitted her brows.

"What?"

"… My cooking style?"

"Yeah. Your cooking style. What about it?"

"Do I have a style, too? I… just make a little bit of everything. They're mostly imitations, too. And my way of cooking tends to be boring, but I have a style?"

"that boring aspect is your style, idiot."

Kaya spoke as if she didn't understand.

"Are you a machine? You're a person. People have personalities, and that personality translates into the food you make."

"But my personality is on the flat side without much character."

"The fact that you don't have much character is your style. Does everyone have to be vibrant and fancy?"

"… Then what was your favorite dish out of what I've made?"

"Anything that you make with sauce."

Kaya answered in a calm voice. While Cho Min Joon opened his eyes wide, Kaya continued, "I like the taste of your sauce the best."

"… What if that sauce is from someone else's recipe?"

"Of course. How many people really have recipes of their own? It's hard to cook without using other people's influences."

"That's true… You seem really mature today."

There was no answer.

Breakfast consisted of blueberry yogurt, toast, basil butter, thick bacon, and a Spanish omelet filled with tomato paste and egg. Cho Min Joon took a bite of the omelet and asked, "How's it going with Tess Gilly? Has she been keeping quiet?"

A long time had passed. It had been almost one month since the Tess Gilly incident took place. Just yesterday, the 14th episode of the show aired. It was an episode covering the restaurant mission of the 6 remaining contestants. All that was left now were 3  episodes. The quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and the finals.

'… There are only 2 missions left.'

Cho Min Joon's face turned serious. Kaya swallowed a piece of buttered bread and answered, "If she keeps going, it'll be obvious that she's an idiot. Unless she's completely stupid, she won't keep it going. She'll probably still annoy me sometimes… But I don't know. It seems like Martin is handling it somehow."

"But compared to before, it seems a lot calmer."

"If I make a big deal out of it, it's my loss. People always talked behind my back, but the only difference now is that I can see it happen in live time on the internet, but if I don't look at it, it doesn't matter."

"Good thinking."

"Not again. I told you to stop treating me like a child."

"Yeah, you're not a kid anymore."

Cho Min Joon laughed. He sounded proud and sad. She was starting to become the completed version that he remembered from the future. It was a good thing, but he also felt restless... because it was hard to catch up to her.

'Maybe by finals…'

He felt bad for Anderson, but he wanted to be the one to face off against Kaya in the finals. He didn't care if he lost. The 300,000 dollars in prize money and the honor of being the Grand Chef didn't matter to him. What was important was whether or not he could become a chef.

"Anyway, why isn't Anderson here?"

"I don't know. He's probably working out again. That con."

"Con? Oh… When he said Martin called you guys?"

"Yeah. He's weird. Does he have some kind of illness? Why did he make a joke like that? He's too old for that stuff."

Kaya poked at her omelet. The yolk poured out along with the tomato paste inside, but as soon as she looked to the side, Anderson was entering the kitchen.

"Are you going to eat?"

"Just yogurt and bread."

Anderson answered as he plopped down in his chair. He simply sat in the seat closest to him, but it happened to be beside Kaya. Kaya glared at Anderson and moved over to the seat beside Cho Min Joon with her plate, but what was unfortunate was that she was now across from Anderson.

"Hey, con."

"… Are you talking to me?"

"Yeah, you con. Because of you, I couldn't even give Chloe a proper goodbye."

"Sigh, you should've treated her well while she was here. No use in making it up to her in the end."

"Shut up. You have no right to say that. Why did you lie anyway? Were you just trying to screw me over?"

Anderson didn't answer. Kaya looked at Cho Min Joon and vented.

"See? He's always like this."

"Hold it in. I'm sure Anderson had his reasons."

"Yeah right… But what's this?"

Kaya looked at what Cho Min Joon was writing down. Cho Min Joon was typing something on the notepad on his phone, but she couldn't make it out. It wasn't the handwriting, but the letters themselves. It was Korean. Cho Min Joon answered in a calm voice, "I'm just thinking about recipe ideas. Like you said, if my strength is my sauces, I should work harder on them. I should keep making them better."

"… You work so hard. I've always thought about this, but Korean letters look so cool."

"It depends on your handwriting. Compared to the alphabet, it can look really bad depending on who writes it."

"Hm… Oh yeah. Then can you do that for me?"

"Do what?"

"Write my name in Korean. You should give me a Korean name, too."

A Korean name. Cho Min Joon looked at Kaya. He then wrote two large letters. Kaya looked at the screen with excitement.

"How do you read it?"

"Gaya. It's the same as your name. If you just loosen up the first letter, it's a pretty name in Korean. Back in the ancient days… There were even countries named Geumgwan Gaya."

"Gunggangwaya? Ugh, I don't know. Gaya. Okay, cool."

Kaya smiled as she wrote the letters on her plate with a fork. Kaya hadn't smiled like a little girl in so long that Cho Min Joon couldn't help but smile, too. At that moment, Anderson coughed and said, "Do it for me, too."

"Your name?"

"Yeah."

Cho Min Joon knitted his brows. Anderson's name was hard to make into Korean. After much thought, Cho Min Joon slowly typed it on the screen. Anderson looked at the screen with excited eyes.

"How do you read it?"

"… Ahn Deok Sam."

"Ahn Deok Sam. Wow… It sounds really Asian. I'd better introduce myself with that name if I go to Korea or meet a Korean."

"Oh… There's no need for that."

"No, I like it. Can you send that to me over text?"

"S-sure."

Cho Min Joon stuttered and smiled awkwardly. 'Ahn Deok Sam.' How would he react once he found out the truth behind it?

'… I hope he doesn't kill me.'

Because of his love for cooking, he had thrown away his career as a teacher and had become a chef.
But despite his desires, his lack of cooking skills was the harsh truth he had to face.
But when he reached the age of 30, he had been sent back 7 years back into the past.
Another chance.

(*Please know this does not include all chinese people, only the select few who participate in this festival. I am aware not all Chinese /Asian people share the same ideas, thoughts, emotions, and morals*) 

I just want you to know, if you participate, practice, support, or just anything supporting the Yulin dog meat festival. You are a piece of SHIT. The lowest of the low. Not even worthy of being called a sentient being. I get that people eat meat. I eat meat. But stealing pets from loving homes, torturing them with hooks, burning them alive, not even giving them a dignified death and expect to have one of your own someday. How DARE you. How dare you do that to something with a soul, something that can love. If those were humans majority of you would be appalled.You can't support black lives, Asian lives, White Lives, all lives mattering if you truly don't Practice that all lives do in fact matter to you. This includes the lives of other species that we share this world with. I know I can't change anyone's mindset once they have a narrowed mind

Gu Yan read the recipe on his hands. It did take a few times, but he was able to see the reason behind every step. He couldn't wait to try it out. In fact, he didn't mind Tian or the current negotiation and started the refining process. Tian didn't mind it or rather, he encouraged him to do so. That way, he could have more leverage.

Although it did take him a few tries, once he got used to the recipe his success rate did improve. If previously he managed to increase the rate up to 20% with this new recipe, he was able to success almost every 2 tries. With this, even apprentices would have the same success rate than he had.
This recipe was gold. The only reason that the Soul Assembling Pill was expensive, apart from the material was because of the success rate. Increasing the success rate means to decrease the waste of materials.

Gu Yan was excited, thinking about what Tian could provide to the association. Yang Xin didn't miss it. She also saw the potential this recipe could bring. – "What would that cut you are speaking about be?"

Tian stood in though. He didn't want it to be too high, as he wasn't the one doing the work. As he wanted to have a good relationship with the association, he could only give them face.

"Humm, how about I get 25% be it either in Demon Spirit Coins or materials? Of course, you can take the improved Soul Assembling Pill a gift from my part."

"Would you mind that we speak a bit in private about your offer?"

"I don't' mind." -Tian spoke. If one looked at the smile on his face, one would feel uneasy.
Gu Yan and Yang Xin went to the other side of the room. Yang Xin was the first to speak.

"What do you think about his offer?"

"It's quite tempting. If the rest of the recipes are on the same level, it's worth the loss. Moreover, we don't only gain the recipe but studying the recipe we can gain an understanding of the principle behind. Just reading this recipe made me want to jump and try to change a few other recipes."

"If the president is so certain, there's nothing I can say. Nevertheless, I also agree on the investment. Still, we must make sure that there will be more recipes. We still don't know how Tian managed to develop such recipe nor were he obtained his knowledge"

"I agree"

Gu Yan and Yang Xin returned to Tian, who had a few parchments on his hand. Seeing that, both were a bit excited. Did he really have more recipes for them? Where did Tian gain such knowledge? Did he have a master? They were curious.

Yang Xin looked at Tian and spoke- "Tian, I was wondering who you learned alchemy from?"
Tian realized the root of the question. On their eyes, there was no way that he had such deep knowledge of alchemy. Tian let out a small laugh- "Young lady if you are asking if I have a master. Then my answer is no. What I know is from my own hand."

Tian's words weren't exactly true. Although he never had a proper master to teach him alchemy, everything he knew wasn't discovered by himself. During his previous life, he spoke, exchanged ideas and learned from other alchemists. Like many, he could only develop and improve with the help of others. That's the reason of existence of the association.

At this point, there was little the association could teach him. As such, it was better to not be part of it. Even if Tian wanted to strengthen the city, he could do so with the recipes he's willing to give the association.

Even if many would just use it, without minding the reason behind the steps. There are others that would try to decipher and research how it worked. That way, the principles and fundamentals of alchemy in Glory City could improve. Although it was indirect, this could help Glory City almost the same as having better or more powerful pills. It was not something that could be seen in a short time but something that had to be developed and nurtured. Tian didn't want to interfere with Glory City but rather give it options and let it chose to use them.

If Glory City didn't want to improve by itself, it wasn't worth Tian attention. Tian didn't want to babysit the city and carry it under his shoulders. If they didn't seek or rather if they didn't make their own path, instead followed the easy path laid down by Tian. He would just leave them behind without a second thought. Tian wasn't going to be anchored in Glory City.

"Then, shall we make the contract?" -Tian spoke with an enticing voice.

"Yes, but we would want to add a clause." – Yang Xin spoke. She didn't want to be tied to a contract they weren't sure Tian could hold- "We would like to add a trial. If during the next few months, you are not able to produce a worthy recipe. The contract will be terminated. The rest, we agree on."

Hearing the terms, she spoke about, Tian decided to change the plan. They wanted to try him, poking to see his skills. He licked this better. He put the few parchments on his pocket and spoke- "Very well, but without money, there's little I can research about."

"Of course, we would give you a budget for this." -She looked at Gu Yan who nodded in acceptance- "How about 200.000 Demon Spirit Coins? There's no need to say that if you are unable to provide a recipe this must be returned on its entirety."

Tian smiled. In that smile, one could see that he wasn't afraid of the challenge. One must know that the process of researching a new recipe or improving an existing one is rather arduous. Even for Tian, if he had to come up with a new recipe or improve one, it will take him a few years. However, he didn't need to. There were many recipes that Glory City couldn't know about.

"Very well, shall we write down the contract and sign the contract?"

This is my take on the TDG world from the point of view of Tian, an Alchemist from the Toxic Forest who managed to reach the top of the world and fight along Nie Li against the Sage Emperor only to reincarnate in the body of an orphan from Glory City 3 years before the start of the novel.

"This is an honor to be able to represent the country. The Chinese men's basketball team also needs me, and to be honest, it's not up to me alone." Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, Yao Ming finally said so.

"Dayao, you have only played in the NBA for 4 years, but you have five or six places combined with your injuries? Especially your left ankle last season, you know that athletes are most afraid of Continued high-intensity competition, which may ruin your entire career. "Tang Tian continued.

Yao Ming nodded, obviously he knew this too.

"As for the national team, it's hard to say that you are irreplaceable in the Chinese team. Even if you don't participate in some national team games, they can't remove you from the team." Tang Tian continued.

Yao Ming nodded, but said nothing.

Seeing Yao Ming's reaction, Tang Tian knew that he might know that he made a choice.

In my memory, Yao Ming played 48 games in the 2006 ~ 07 season because of a fractured shin on his left leg. For the Rockets in history, if Yao Ming is healthy, the Rockets are definitely ranked in the top three in the Western Conference.

Although now adding Millsap and Barria, if Yao Ming is injured, everything is still in vain.

So Tang Tian must also make a choice.

"Well, how about we make an appointment?" Tang Tian said looking at Yao Ming.

"Appointment?" Yao Ming looked at Tang Tian puzzledly.

"My family studies medicine. I have an ancestral secret recipe that can completely restore your left ankle, but you must promise me that you will not participate in any other games except the world championships such as the World Championships and the Olympics. How?"

Completely cure the left ankle?

Hearing what Tang Tian said, Yao Ming's determination began to shake.

As a tall player, it is the most prone to injury to bear a huge weight on the ankle. Even if he is cured, he will relapse from time to time. If Tang Tian can fully recover as he said, he can agree.

"And to be honest, if you need to participate in the Asian level to win, do you think it is a good thing for the development of the Chinese men's basketball team?" Tang Tian added.

Tang Tian's sentence poked into Yao Ming's heart. As the first person in Chinese basketball, what he most hopes to see is the vigorous development of Chinese basketball, but as Tang Tian said, if you play an Asian game, you must always rely on him , So when he retires? It is conceivable that it is definitely the collapse of the Asian hegemony of the men's basketball team.

"Okay, I promise you, but the premise must be as you said." Yao Ming finally said, he and Maddie were skeptical about the kind of medicine Tang Tian said.

"That's right!" Tang Tian heard Yao Ming saying, a smile appeared on his face, and then took out the bottle of the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis last time from his pocket, and then poured one into his hand, directly Passed it to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming froze for a moment. Is this too casual?

"Relax, non-poisonous, I still have to work for the Rockets." Tang Tian then said, although this is a method to hide people's eyes and ears, but I don't know why, he always feels a little bit like a lake and a lake.

Yao Ming nodded, and the identity of Tang Tian 's first assistant could not be faked. He took the pill and swallowed it directly with the water in the glass.

While he was taking the pill, Tang Tian also used the 2 honor points he had accumulated to exchange the iron ankle from the system store exchange, and then directly used it on Yao Ming.

Yao Ming took a pill a moment later, and he felt a warm current coming from his left ankle, and even more miraculous than that, he couldn't feel the soreness he had before, and it was almost the same as before the injury.

He couldn't hide his excitement, got up from the bed and walked two steps, and then found that it was completely fine.

He looked at Tang Tian with amazement, which is also amazing!

"It seems to work, remember your agreement with me." Tang Tian stood up with a smile.

Yao Ming nodded excitedly. He didn't care about the principle of this medicine at this time. After all, for him, it was better than anything.

After Tang Tian left Yao Ming's house, he visited the city in his memory, and found that everything related to his previous life disappeared. It seems that his original identity after the traversal has nothing to do with this world.

After staying in China for a while and waiting for those stocks to rise more than a dozen times, the money he had in hand changed from $ 200,000 to more than $ 4 million.

He sold half of them, took out about 2 million US dollars, and participated in the venture capital investment of Alibaba.

Alibaba started shortly at this time, with total assets of just over 100 million, and it is the most suitable fixed asset to hold.

Having done this, he then flew back to the United States.

Only one month before the start of the NBA preseason game, the coaching staff of each team has started to get busy ahead of the new season.

When Tang Tian went to the Toyota Center, what surprised him was that there was a bang in the training hall, and some people were already training in it.

He followed the voice, and then saw four people in the training hall, Hayes, Millsap, Novak and Barea, sweating and training.

He walked straight in.

"Coach!" Millsap first spotted Tang Tian and he shouted directly.

With his shouting, the other three also stopped. They were all excited when they saw Tang Tian.

"Why did you come to the training hall so early?"

"Coach, we have been training here for more than a month. My back is much more skilled than before." Millsap said directly.

"My defense has also improved, coach." Novak also said.

Have been training for more than a month?

Tang Tian was a little surprised, but this was not arranged by him.

"Jose's proposal, but I also want to strive to meet your expectations for us." Millsap continued.

Barea's proposal?

Yes, he signed an unguaranteed contract and is one of the most likely to be laid off in the preseason.

It was Millsap. It seemed that what Tang Tian said at the time had a great influence on him.

Tang Tian nodded. Summer training is definitely a good thing. Healthy Yao Ming, coupled with their hard training, the Rockets in the new season will definitely be stronger than the strongest rocket he remembers, and will be much stronger.

Rebirth in 2006, 

I have won the god-level coaching system!
Can heal a disease, can he exchange for player abilities, and can he also serve as a maid? !
Or the Yao Ming Rockets start? It just flew!

NBA coaching text! Cultivate! At the same time, it is also a forceful book for coaches!

Hello guys, I just want to share to you the novel I love. I hope you also like it.

ps. it's not my work. 

Original Author: Minced meat eggplant

At dawn, Asha was fully awake. She couldn't sleep well the whole night. Gabina planned to make the dessert, meanwhile, Asha was still trying to formulate her very own recipe. 

"Ahh, that madman, inconsiderate, conceited Ronjon is the root cause of my problem." She recalled their conversation yesterday.

"Why are you putting me on the edge?" She confronted the 'inconsiderate' Ronjon.

"Because I reckon, you're more susceptible to errors if you can bide your time. Pressure is a key to help you find your own signature dish. Use this opportunity to build up your creative mind but make sure to win for Gabina, or else she can't work anymore. Don't forget, her career is in your hands." He smiled like a madman who found out the weakness of his adversary and putting it into good use against the other.

Back at present. "He should have given me ample of time. Now, I need to come up with my own personal recipe on the dot. If I'll copy Baba's recipe, he'll laugh at me. Ahh, I hate you insane, egotistical, humbug Ronjon. Ahhhh!" She shouted like crazy kneeling on her bed, cursing him to the core with her fist on the air.

After letting out her frustrations, Asha's mind was cleared and she reviewed her failed recipes and the one given by Leyla. Her own written recipes were partly ideas from others, but it didn't turn out fine. "Do I really need to stop using my father's recipe? How about improving its serving presentation." She imagined Ronjon's plating compared to hers and gave up the idea. 

Maybe the taste? She remembered her father's guidance when he let her try coming up her own dish. "Twists and turns in food are almost the same. And the best way to make your food unique is to add something that complements with the taste. That thing could be a common spice but never been used for that specific dish."

"Another thing is to add something that others wouldn't dare to use at all but could make the dish better. That would make things interesting. But remember, experiments should be done enjoyably. Don't frown when you cook, it will affect the taste. Treat the food as an art where you can express what you feel. Just enjoy and learn whatever the outcome."

After recalling, an idea flashed in her beautiful brain.
. . . . .

The cooking battle was a hit and it added excitement in the festive atmosphere. It gathered the whole villagers and visitors at the Inn's courtyard. Taajwar was pleased with two reasons. For advertisement and for his wife. He had no qualms for women working for he knew his wife thought of it once and he was willing to allow her for he loved her deeply. However, Malabika chose to tend to the family. Thus, he dedicated the competition for her.

Among the crowd was a group of men taking note of the two women. 

The battle for women against men began. Asha and Gabina at one table and Hakoon and his assistant on the other. The competition started at nine in the morning and would end at two in the afternoon. 

Asha recalled one of her father's teachings. "Always try something new and don't let fear hold you back." Her new recipe showed Akibhandu's grandfather's special Samosa, with squash, onions, and potato fillings, combined with her father's Chicken Biryani. The unexpected ingredient was the dried palm dates for a bit of sweetness and nuttiness. She also thought of a sauce to make it tastier.

Gabina recreated the sweets she tasted when she went to the capital.

The male counterpart cooked their own special dishes. Hakoon cooked an Illish fish. He marinated the fish with turmeric and spices. Afterward, he sauteed the five-spice mix, mustard poppy seed paste, chilies and etc. Then he added the marinated fish and let it simmer in the slow heat. 

His assistant prepared green lentil sweets made of mung beans.

Taajwar's watch said it's time for lunch, two o'clock. The four brought their food in front of the judges: Ronjon's Uncle and Aunt, the Village Chief, and the last but not the least was Ronjon.

Kahoon's Marinated Ilish Fish Curry was presented on a white plate. This was one of the special dishes the Inn served. It was appetizing to the eyes. It was a fish fillet covered with yellow delectable and sumptuous sauce topped with minced green chili. 

His assistant brought the Green Lentil Dessert Fudge, a yellow-green mound on a saucer.

Gabina placed her Kaju and Pista Roll on a green plate as Asha recommended. A dozen two-inch light brown rolls with green in the middle. She was glad to see the plate made her sweets more exciting and inviting.

Asha was the last to present. She gave each judge a five-inch Samosa shaped like a crown. A light brown thin sauce in a small bowl was beside it. This intrigued everyone, including Ronjon. He had never seen like it and it pleased him. A new dish is born, he thought.

Asha is now on the brink of helplessness and despair. Would she let despair to chase her for the rest of her life? Thus, she faces the man who wanted her dead and to stand as a woman in the world of chefs. 

She will create her own dishes and make his father's recipes alive again. Her adventures lead to clues of the real killer of his father and get entangles with love. 

Somehow, when she is face to face with the murderer, will she forgive or not? The Recipe of Love will show her the right decision to make.

This is a story of a girl in her journey to become a lady chef while in life-threatening situations and falls in love. So, don't expect a fast pace cooking battles. It is Asha's journey.

The setting of the story is India before its Independence in 1947. The exact timeline is 1945. However, in the first part of the story, I didn't use during the British occupation since the places/villages I mentioned do not exist in the present country. I used Bangla words since the culture is more on present Bangladesh. 

This is absolutely a fiction story.

If you have questions about the culture, please ask me in the comment and I'll try to explain things to you. I can't write the culture within the story for that will bore you to death. Most are written in the Author's Thoughts.

(This novel won the 2nd place in the writing prompt contest #34: Chef, but got the same prize as the first place. Thanks to all who supported.)

I'm Guilty, My Beauty

Chapter 1283 - House Kang's Plans
"Is… Is something wrong?" Zhaolong paused.
"Why do you think that their recipe must be the same as our injury medicine recipe? Are you going to tell the media that you bribed the vice-chairman of Miracle Doctor Guan's company to get the recipe? Our name would be completely ruined if you do that!" Miracle Doctor Kang hmphed. "Also, if you were to bring out the names of those quality ingredients, then our recipe's secret would be in danger! Those special ingredients are what's special of our injury medicine, and if people know about it, a bunch of Miracle Doctor Li's and Miracle Doctor Wangs would be popping out! We'd be looking for trouble!"
"I… Grandpa, I'm sorry! I rushed!" Zhaolong lowered his head, apologizing very unwillingly. He didn't think his words through enough when feeling rushed to make a comeback.
"Zhaoming, what are your thoughts? I didn't expect that the young tyrant master would become the best and smartest Kang now!" Miracle Doctor Kang was very pleased with Zhaoming- especially after his successes these few times. He valued him more now.
"Grandpa, I think that while we get rid of the stock in the storage, we need to do something else, we can't sit around like sitting ducks!" Zhaoming said. "The meeting of noble houses is starting soon. We need to do something, or we'll lose the chance!"
"Yes, we can't sit around and wait to die- we need to take the initiative, that's what a grandson of House Kang should do!" He nodded. "Tell me about your ideas!"
"First, we're too weak- we need a noble house that's able to support us. This candidate would actually be House Xiao since we still have a marriage alliance. Compared to the other noble houses, it's easier for us to approach them!" Zhaoming analyzed gleefully.
Everyone actually understood all these things he was analyzing, but it was just that they had lost hope. This idiot Zhaoming, however, didn't care! He just wanted to raise his standing and image, as well as authority. Who cared if it was possible, he needed to bring it up first!
"Yes, that makes sense!" Miracle Doctor Kang nodded.
Zhaolong really couldn't endure this anymore- makes sense? It didn't make shit! He knew that it was because Grandpa liked Zhaoming right now, so whatever he said would 'make sense'!
Zhaolong calmed his mind down and made a retort. "Grandpa, Zhaoming, while our relationship with the Xiaos was good before, but now… After we went to visit them, House Xiao didn't even bother with us. Do you think that they'd be interested in us anymore?"
"Hm, Zhaolong's right. Zhaoming, what do you think?" Miracle Doctor Kang wasn't actually a very capable person. In the beginning, he was just someone who didn't graduate primary school- an illiterate. With extreme coincidence, he got himself the recipe for the golden creation medicine, founding House Kang!
He wasn't a capable person! He didn't even understand basic medicine, let alone manage the family. In the past, with the injury medicine backing him up, the other families all came to kiss his ass- so even if House Kang was a bit common, it was fine.
Things were different now.
Miracle Doctor Kang's act of the mysterious medical genius hermit didn't work anymore- he did gain some skills and mindsets regarding someone in a managing position, but it was too late- he was old. When House Kang got into trouble, he was always the first to panic!
"This… Relates to the second point I was going to make! Let me finish first!" Zhaoming quickly thought of something- he connected two things together, with splendid results! Was he a genius?
"Oh? Then tell us, what's the second point?" Miracle Doctor Kang said without a doubt.
"The second thing is that I need to quickly find the recipe of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing! As long as House Kang has that pill, then everything would go our way! House Xiao wouldn't even have that attitude anymore once they realize we have the pill's recipe, they'd come trying to mend the relationship! Other noble houses would come to us, and the matter with ascending into a noble house ourselves… It would be a breeze!" Zhaoming said with one breath.
He was extremely impressed with himself- how was he able to smooth everything out like that? He was a bloody genius!
"Great idea, that's a great idea! Zhaoming truly is God's gift to House Kang!" Miracle Doctor Kang started laughing and clapping his hands.
"Grandpa, but Guan Xuemin also has the recipe- we wouldn't be the only ones with the recipe, our advantage isn't high enough!" Zhaolong went against the flow- he knew that Zhaoming was actually speaking out of his ass, and everyone knew that- but the guy did manage to connect them together, he had to admit defeat! This tyrant young master brother of his… He did have a way with words in situations like this!
"Not necessarily!" Zhaoming said. "It's said that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is made with very rare herbs, and these Eastern medicine herbs have a limited production each year. They're rare and being competed over! So, the ones who get the ingredients first would have the upper hand! I think that, with all the business connections we have, even if we can't buy all of those rare herbs, we can buy a good portion of it- even that is enough for us to have a stable power spot! This is produced in small amounts, after all, and with their rarity, we'd still be in an advantage!"
"Not bad! Zhaolong, look at your brother- he may not be as good as you at studying, but these plots and schemes are his forte! We have to give him that! But, the scholar of the family can't be the head of the family, the head must have brains! I think Zhaoming's plan is very doable. It's settled then!" Miracle Doctor Kang said happily.
"Yes, grandpa!" Zhaoming said happily.
Zhaolong's blood was boiling- He had brains, he plots, and schemes! And, everyone knew the things that Zhaoming was saying! These were impossible tasks in his eyes, but this Zhaoming managed to connect them all together and turned it into a big plan!


When an S-class elite, assassin-raised captain of a special ops suicide squad comes home from a high-stakes Africa mission, he finds himself offered something that could potentially set him up for life- a curious assignment that he could use to finally exit his days of war and slaughter.
Then placed into a high-school setting, Lin Yi is tasked by the chairman of a top-tier multi-billion company with bodyguard duty for non-other than his own daughter, a certain little Miss of said high-school.
His enemies, once ranging from drug lords, mafia bosses, political figures, and national leaders, are soon replaced with spoiled kids who happen to have rich papas and mamas, and Lin Yi finds his intense expertise and high-threat skillset misused and very underwhelmed...
But he does get a harem cast as diverse as his old enemies, so Lin Yi decides that, for the sake of messing around with girls as an invincible entity in a down-leveled environment, leaving his bloody and death-filled war days behind is something he'd definitely want to strive for.
