Idol's Husband Chapter 1

A series of clapping rang out as I sat down in front of my patron and I kept a still face as I was already used to it after my particularly humiliating death.

Trying to beat an Onlyfans 'star' in the chubby bunny challenge in saying chubby bunny while fitting thirty full-sized marshmallows in my mouth was a fool's choice... As unlike her, I wasn't well trained in swallowing huge loads of white sticky stuff, so I died there. I died choking to death on an excess number of marshmallows.

"A chef choking to death has his its own irony don't you think." My patron said with a smile and I nodded evenly as it was true.

My patron smiled and continued. "Anyway, when I first died and was reincarnated, it was due to the fact that I died after choking to death on the noodles of spaghetti after learning my blind date was a hooker basically... So I get you, now lets get to the brass tacks."

He then pulled out a folder and I asked. "Sooo do I get to choose my cheat or my world?"

My Patron looked up from my folder up to me with an amused smile as he retorted. "Nope! We only give the cheats that will propel Jake to their full potential by resonating those cheats with their very souls. But did you have a desire or waifu you wanted?" He asked with that smile being bright and unjudging.

Until his smile died and he said bluntly. "If you say a Sharingan or a Saiyan bloodline I smack you though."

My face twitched at that blunt threat to my life but still, I answered frankly. "I would like a cheat that would allow me to continue to be a chef. I desire a world where I can still be a chef and see people's smiles when they eat my food!"

My patron's face went slack and he looked at my folder and visibly looked a bit torn before he said. "Fuck it... Fine, you were slotted to having a bard that could give all but permanent buffs, so switching the bard elements of needing to touch people's hearts through music can be changed to your cooking."

I couldn't help a grin and as my sponsor took out a weird blinding blob of light that he fiddled with for a few seconds, he got my attention as he said with some amusement. "Of course, this still means you will need to fight beyond just being a chef... So have fun, and try not to make too much of a mess of your world!" With that said, he blurred around his table and before my eyes could even blink my patron slapped my cheat into my chest, and then as he sat back in his chair as I finished blinking I was floating in the air and then swiftly being sucked into a portal behind me.

Swirling colors that didn't fit in a human color palate flooded my eyes so closed them to block out the sight of interdimensional travels as I felt my cheat filling my core as it then seemingly fit itself into my soul and I could feel my perception of cooking itself changing.

The three core tenants of the human body. In mind, body, and soul. That was the core of a living being, and with certain recipes using magical ingredients I could permanently enhance the three aspects of whatever ate my food. That was my cheat.

'I always knew ice cream was the food of the soul.' I thought as my altered perception allowed me to look at the decade-plus of experience I had as a chef and translate it into knowing almost certainly what aspects of someone's body could be enhanced should I make a certain dish.

But as I delved deeper into my culinary nirvana, I realized that not only could I just permanently buff someone eating my food, but nothing was saying I couldn't also give the abilities or magical aspects of the ingredients I used in my cooking.

My mind whirled as I tried to think of recipes I could make to give myself superpowers. But as I tried to imagine a recipe to give myself thermal vision from Grill Snake with cocktail sauce, I was violently ejected from my portal and my eyes widened as I was sent rolling across some thick grass with people actually fucking seeing me getting spat out of a portal cried out in surprise as was natural!

"Are you alright, did you just get ejected out of the dungeon or something?" I heard a woman speak and I groaned as I sat up to take in my surroundings and blinked as I was in a park of some kind and then a couple hundred meters away I could see a weird thick tower made out pitch black stone that rose up to the clouds in the sky.

I paused thinking on where the absolute fuck I was, before I blankly said while shaking my head. "Yeah. Sorry was... Yeah in thought, I got teleported out somehow." I said as I took in the woman and I saw she was dressed in a weird dichotomy of modern, and fantasy as she was wearing a sleeveless dress that exposed a good bit of her cleavage with her skirt being rather low, but she also had a thicker leather boots and leggings that had an old time look to them.

"Please excuse me, I need to go make a phone call to some people." I said bowing my head to them in thanks for checking on me and seeing me stand up, most of the people that were watching me, seemingly lost interest as I quickly made my way away from the stupidly tall foreboding tower.

As I got away from the park I shivered as a weight fell on my back and I found a literal backpack that got teleported onto my back once I checked that no one cared or noticed as the road I was on was rather packed with people walking around. I checked the backpack and found a weird book that was empty and a letter.

[Hey dude, so the first things first. The grimoire you got is a modified cookbook I needed to work on to work with your altered cheat. Once you try out a recipe with magical ingredients, within the Grimoire a perfected version will be noted with some small hints from your future self being written to advise yourself in becoming a better chef and maximize the effects of the recipe.]

[Also the Grimoire will direct you in attaining some kind of combat skills using cooking implements... Don't ask me, your future self is fucking weird and I am not going to argue with the guy who makes me the desserts that I bring to my wives that make them oh so happy to see me.]

[Also, enclosed in this envelope is an identity seeing as this is a modern world of a sort, now take the identity to a library and research the world... It's going to blow your socks off.]
