Secret: Self-Cultivation of a Gourmet

【Updates on Tuesdays, with bonus chapters dropping at random】 I looked up. It was 4:30 a.m. Tang Xindan calmly closed Lord of the Mysteries, which she had just finished reading, then wiped away a bitter tear at the thought of her 8 a.m. class. With less than three hours to sleep, the college student shut her eyes and tried to lull herself to sleep by imagining a little story. ...Why is this bed so hard? This is bad. Tang Xindan gazed up at the crimson moon, close to tears. “I’m just an ordinary person. How am I supposed to survive among all these factions and the Apocalypse?!” At this point, I can only cling to Klein! (Gets smacked) 【Content warnings】 1. The protagonist has no gender, gender identity, or related functions. All relationships involving them are platonic or familial by default. 2. There is original content and changes to the source material, so some out-of-character behavior and conflicts between characters are inevitable. Klein is fated to become the Lord of the Mysteries, the Beacon of Destiny. There may be descriptions involving organs, bugs, rodents, cannibalism, and similar topics. The protagonist will join the Tarot Club, making up for the lack of a white-haired member in the original (what?). 3. I read all of Lord of the Mysteries in one go and know some of the Circle of Inevitability plot. If you spot any mistakes or made-up details, feel free to point them out and add corrections. 4. I started writing this because I wanted to run a Lord of the Mysteries tabletop campaign but couldn't find anyone, so I started improvising a plot rather than let the idea go to waste... I added resurrection at a cost so I could write some Lovecraftian scenes. Please make sure you're okay with all of the above before reading. 【Rambling】 This is just for my own amusement. No godhood, no romance, just an ordinary fellow reader.jpg Klein appears directly in Chapter 5. This is my first long-form work, so please be kind. I drew the cover myself. I'll post related doodles and rambling in the author's notes.
