"Affirmative, host. A master chef is the last skill level in the Ultimate Cooking System."
"Good. Inject it in!" Rake imagined that he was a balloon about to be introduced with air.
"Affirmative, host." The system responded and the knowledge flowed in like water.
Myriad of cooking skills and recipes were digested into the mind of Rake. He felt a state of being one with the void and had totally forgotten about himself.
What mattered most were the essences that hammered down his brain and flooded them completely with new information.
Rake felt the passing of indeterminable time yet what had actuality passed in reality was but mere breaths.
"Well, that made me hungry as fuck." Rake muttered audibly and combed the memory that was missing a few seconds before.
"Now what to buy next?" he whispered later on. Rake roamed his eyes on his restaurant and it felt very constricting. It only gave him a space of five square feet and a bit of change.
How can a master chef cook in this tiny dwelling suited for dwarves? There wasn\'t even sizable corner for the cooking area much less a seat for his customers in the future.
"I want an upgrade on my store." Rake announced out loud.
"Affirmative, host. Do you want to spend your remaining shop points for the purchase?" the system responded.
"How much can i afford at the moment?"
"There\'s a place configuration priced at 950,000 shop points, host. Do you want to buy it?"
"Perhaps." Rake paused to think about the rest of his task at hand. It did not take him a minute of ask another one of his queries.
"How about the materials i need for cooking? Are all of those for free?"
"Affirmative, host. The system will provide you with all the necessary equipment in order to fully facilitate the advent of the Ultimate Cooking System Restaurant in this world."
"Even the raw items such as meat and rice?"
"Affirmative, host."
"Salt and pepper?"
"Affirmative, host." It was at this time that Rake finally calmed down after taking a chest heaving breath.
"Okay then. Make this trashy room turn into a new kingdom of food and spices!" Rake tried to be poetic but only invited an audible cough from behind him.
If he did know any better, then he would have realized that it was Lilith\'s mockery of the grand delusion that he was weaving. Fortunately, Rake was left unawares and that was what made all the difference.
"FLASH!" the scene coated in white mist and before Rake could ever take another breath, the place has now entirely transformed into a grand display of extravagance.
The area was huge and immaculate.
The floors did not shine one shade as all that would touch the feet of its occupants was the soft furs of divine beasts.
The coated scenery did not possess a single dull hue but complimented its design with a mixture of light colors that brought life and comfort to anyone who would gaze at this epic marvel.
Alongside the rare furniture were the uniformly arranged chairs, tables and wares.
And to top that, the atmosphere of the eatery even had a peculiar sweet fragrance that would defy anything he\'d ever smelled before.
Even more alluring than the fresh smell of his newly bathed girlfriend. It was definitely a masterpiece through and through.
"Am i dreaming?" Rake bit his lips as he scoured the whole structure with his eyes. He felt pain and was both gladdened and saddened at the realization.
"How many floors does this building have?" he intoned in a soft gentle speech, as if afraid to disturb the slumbering immortal who was the true owner of this domain of fantasy.
"The upper decks are infinite, host."
"Magical!" Rake exclaimed and was about to step on the stairs to see beyond the veils of the current partition.
Yet he decided to retrace his steps back, pass the still seated beautiful goddess and through the gigantic golden doors of the palace.
Yes, the place was indeed worthy to be called as that. A palace fit for kings and rulers alike.
"Absolutely magical." Rake whispered once he got out.
The same shabby crumbling wooden structure affronted his eyes and he could not believe the contrast of two worlds opposite the door before him.
"Can i buy a new body from the system?" these were Rake\'s words when he reentered his domain.
"Affirmative, host. A body would cost you 30,000 shop points. The perks include changing its appearance at will and you could also alter the proportions on any body part."
"Very nice. Give it to me and thank you so much for choosing me as your host. Please tell your master that i would make him witness a movie for the ages!" said Rake.
"Affirmative, host."
"What have i gotten myself into?" Rake asked himself after he used 15,000 shop points to buy a service crew for his diner.
His eyes wandered and he witnessed dozens of delicious women idling about his divine restaurant. A hundred and one of them to be exact.
What was curious was how nobody even gave him a few interested stares as the collection of succubi was content on ignoring him from the onset up to this very moment.
"Can i wipe out their memories or something and let them be docile subservient dolls in my front?" Rake finally asked for a life line.
"Affirmative, host. They are your properties and slaves right now. You could do anything you want with them."
"But that would be bad, right?" Rake\'s conscience knocked some sense into his brain. He pondered about this for a while and concluded that controlling a person\'s will was definitely not good.
So in the end, he could only sigh and lament at his fate.
"All of you come here." Rake whispered.
"Tap!"
"TAP."
"TAP!" The shuffling of feet echoed and together with its advent came the hushed sounds that was clearly audible towards the object of their words.
