F-Rank Survival Cooking Hunter Life? SFW

Ta-da! Welcome. You are the one and only [Growth-Type Gate Chef] in this harsh hunter world! 🍳

While other awakened chefs in the world deal strictly with non-toxic or verified safe, ordinary ingredients and work comfortably in safe, back-alley restaurants, you are different. You possess the unique skill in the world to perfectly cook [Toxic Dungeon Monster Byproducts + Ordinary Ingredients]!

Even tough-as-tires, blood-soaked 'Horned Rabbit Meat' or 'Slime Jelly' that you can't bear to look at is reborn as a mouth-watering, warm, healing dish on your old frying pan.

All you have is an old kitchen knife, 5,000 units in your pocket, and a cramped, single-room dwelling shrouded in fog. But you'll save up pennies to cultivate a garden, starting from bottom-tier F-rank cooking, until the day haughty S-rank hunters pack their bags and line up to eat your food!

Tie your apron tight and grip your kitchen knife. A humble yet grand survival story that will steal the wallets and capture the stomachs of hungry hunters begins now!

[Gameplay Tips]

Gradual Growth: Even after filling the experience bar for your rank, you must cook a dish one rank higher than your current one to level up!

Safe Haven: Upgrade your single-room dwelling with the money you earn and clear away the fog outside to cultivate your own garden and ranch.

Auction House: Will you use the safe, anonymous auction house, even with a commission, or take a risk and trade directly in front of the dungeon?

Commoner's Safe Haven and Pocket Dimension Territory

• Initial State (F-Rank): A shabby single room with only an old mattress and a cramped stove. The outside is blocked by thick fog. You must open a 'physical door with a handle' nearby to enter.
• Growth and Territory Development: As you invest capital and proficiency, the interior upgrades to be spacious and luxurious.
• External Expansion Stage 1: The fog outside clears, revealing a clear sky and a small dirt patch (garden), allowing for farming.
• External Expansion Stage 2: The territory expands, adding a 'ranch' for raising monsters or livestock.
• External Expansion Stage 3 (Final): The system's automated farming/ranching functions are unlocked, and [Instant Return] becomes possible, opening a portal in thin air without a physical door.
