Food Wars: I Spend My Lifespan on a Divine Sense of Smell, Then Trade Dungeon Runs for More Years

Liu Han transmigrates into Food Wars! and binds himself to the Life-for-Power System. He gains an extraordinary sense of smell, but the price is sixty years of his life, leaving him with just sixty-six days to live. The entrance exam is fast approaching, and Chef Chapelle has his eye on him. His only way to survive is to enter instances and grind for extra life.

First stop: Kikuya in Cooking Master Boy. The test is to finish cutting eighty potatoes, and his opponent is the young Shao An. Liu Han exchanges points for a fivefold speed potion and pulls ahead. Shao An admits defeat in front of everyone and flees. The clear rewards are ten days of life, fifty points, and Chef Abe's recipe for sweet-and-sour cherry pork. Learning it costs him another three days.

Back in reality, the System issues an absurd task: determine the color of Tadokoro Megumi's underwear. He accidentally completes it outside the bathhouse and earns three days of life. At the entrance exam, Chef Chapelle personally sets the test: poached fish with tomatoes. Liu Han has Tadokoro Megumi take charge of cooking while he uses his extraordinary sense of smell to correct her throughout.

He trades life for skills in instances, then relies on his nose to gain an edge in reality. If he wants to stay alive, he has to treat every exam like an instance. The stage at Totsuki has only just opened its curtains.
