You’re a Duke’s Son! How Did You Become a Chef?

System + Daily Life + Lighthearted + Gourmet + Witty

After being struck by lightning, Lin Feng transmigrates to the continent of Zern, a world with a medieval European feel, where he becomes Vikas, the son of a duke in the Newland Empire.

For various reasons, he is now living in a town on the empire’s border, where he runs his own restaurant with the help of a fellow called the God of Cooking Training System.

Along the way, he meets customers with silver tongues, a mute girl he encounters by the roadside, a former sister-in-law who has traveled a thousand miles to find him, the future priestess of the Silver Wolf Tribe, a former fiancée, and...

The son of a mighty duke has become a chef, introducing one modern dish after another to another world. His restaurant grows famous far and wide, and his identity as a duke’s son gradually comes to light.

When he, she, and they come looking for him, Vikas has no choice but to play dumb: “I’m no son of a duke. I’m just a chef!”

Later, a legend appears on the continent of Zern: the God of Gourmet couldn’t bear to watch their world languish in a gourmet desert, so he reincarnated as the duke’s son to create unparalleled delicacies for the people of this world.

As he works as a chef, Vikas gradually realizes that this other world is far more complicated than it seems. In one corner of the continent, a long-hidden underground maze slowly comes to light. There’s an abandoned teleportation array down there. What was it made for? When the truth finally emerges, will Vikas still be able to keep working as a chef?
