Cooking in Another World

Year 2045:

Inside the most famous hotel on earth, thousands of people was gathered around. Each and everyone of them came from a big background. However, despite the main character of this event still not turning up, not a single one of those people were angry or impatient.

After hours of waiting, a fancy limousine appeared at the front door of the hotel. The host of the event was still standing on the stage as he was trying hard to entertain the guests when he finally received the news that the main character is finally here. As a slight glint appeared in his eyes, he smiled and said to the guests : "let us put our hands together and welcome the world's most renowned chef, Mr Eren Lee!"

As everyone seated below the stage turned around to look at the red carpet, a young man dressed in a simple and plain white chef outfit walked out. Everyone stood up and clapped as I slowly made my way towards the stage with an awkward smile, he waved towards the warm applause he is receiving.

After reaching the stage and standing next to the host, the host looked at him and smiled. "Mr Eren Lee!" he exclaimed and continue saying "you are finally here. How does it feel to receive your 100th Michelin star today?" I reached out to the mic and said with a blank look on my face "happy, very happy ...." The host awkwardly exchanged glances with me and the guest and hesitated for awhile before saying "Since Mr Eren Lee is here, let's get the dinner started."

"Phew" I gave out a sigh as I sat in my car, even though I have already attended this kind of event multiple times, I am still extremely awkward regarding this. I am 24 years old currently, born into a average but happy family. Growing up, I have always helped my parents with their some restaurant after school. Slowly I developed a love and passion for cooking and dreams of becoming a world renowned chef. When I told about my dream to my parents, they were very supportive and they sent me to culinary school to study. After graduating at the age of 18, I slowly built up my fame in the culinary world achieved my dream in the span of a few years.

My parents are currently living happily in retirement and their only wish is for me to get myself a girlfriend and eventually get married. Standing at 178 cm, not very muscular but have a healthy body, long smooth black hair and listless eyes. While those eyes are listless, if one is to look long they will discover that they are captivated by those eyes. In a nutshell, I'm pretty handsome, like all other main characters in different novels, handsome but not stupidly handsome. Despite me being so handsome and rich, all the girls that says that they love me are just gold diggers. Never have I met a girl who loved me for who I am.

" Today is taking pretty heavily" I said to my driver. My driver looked at me and nodded. "boom", "boom" and "boom". The noise of thunder kept crashing. As the limousine drove on, the rain got heavier and lightning strikes became more and more frequent.

As we drove deeper into the woods, an uneasy feeling started creeping up on me. I asked my driver "is this the correct route?? why does it feel so.... creepy?" My driver turned around and as he was about to reply me, an lightning strike striked an old tree nearby causing it snap and crashed in front of my car. Being caught unprepared, my driver panicky step on the brake while turning the steering wheel to the side. My driver's reaction was very fast but unfortunately the muddy ground had turned extremely soft and slippery during the rain. The car started to slide towards the cliff. "Ahhhhhhh!!", I screamed, unable to stay calm and closed my eyes

"Skrrrrrrt!" the car finally stopped sliding. I'm still alive?? I thought to myself as I opened my eyes. My driver looked at me with a little bit of fear but mostly pride in his eyes and said to me "damnn, luckily my reaction was fast enough, I should had been a professional racer." "hur hur", I powerlessly laugh at him as I look at my driver who rarely spoke a sentence everyday. "He must have been shocked silly too huh" I thought to myself and looked out of the window and saw that the car is hanging of the cliff with only about 60% of the limousine still on ground while the rest is in air.

My driver then said to me" I'm going out to try to get some help, I'm not receiving any reception here." As I am seated at the back seat, I was unable come out of the car since I'm currently 'suspended' in mid air. After a while I saw my driver walk towards me with a smile on his face but all of a sudden a bright light appeared above his head. Blinded by the bright light, I was unable to see anything, however the last time I saw was that the bright light seems to to coming towards my direction??

"Boommmbb!" the 'bright light' hit the car head on and exploded. My driver was knocked backwards by the explosion and when he got up, he said to himself "oh shit...". Also, I died if you didn't realise.
