I struggled to stay awake after being born.
After some time, my parents brought me home while I was asleep.
During the next few days, I did my best to investigate and gather information once I was awake.
Sadly, it didn't amount too much.
I seem to be on modern earth.
However, I noticed a few things that were different.
Both my parents look the same as my first life, based on the picture I had previously.
For some odd reason, my mother had natural pink hair and eyes instead of black hair and brown eyes she had in the photos.
From my understanding, natural pink hair only belongs in anime.
Pink hair is usually the identifier for the main female character or love interest.
I was presumably in some anime world.
I was born in Canada in my first life, therefore a Japanese Canadian.
I had the ability to read, write, and speak in both English and Japanese.
I noticed the television was on from my playpen and everything was in Japanese.
I concluded that I was born in Japan instead of Canada this time.
The house we lived in was large and well-furnished, meaning my parents were wealthy.
[Ding, ding!]
I suddenly heard two rings and a transparent blue panel appeared before me.
[Syncing complete!]
I was ecstatic.
[System analyzing host dreams]
[Analyzation complete!]
[Optimizing and configuring the system based on host dreams]
[Optimization and configuration complete!]
[Chef System Activated]
"Ahhhhh" I accidentally let out a cute moan because of my excitement.
[The chef system has connected to host soul]
[Host can ask sensible questions]
I struggled to talk and copied a certain mutant instead, putting one hand to my temple.
Using my non-existent telepathy to communicate with the system.
[Host need not speak aloud; The chef system will understand mental inquiries.]
'What type of system are you?'
[Chef system has optimized and configured to help host become world-famous chef]
'Good goooooood' I started to meme Palpatine to express my approval.
I got more information from the system.
It seems I was correct in my previous assumption; I gained my second chance and the system by wishing upon the shooting star I saw previously.
Maybe I was lucky; this was some deus ex machina.
I supposedly got reborn in a parallel universe that has many similar and dissimilar aspects.
I could not get more information until I gained a higher access level, based on what the system was telling me.
I checked my status window.
------------------------------------------
Host: Hoshi Hideyoshi (Race: Human, Nationality: Japanese)
Gender: Male
Age: 0
DOB: 1990/03/17 (St. Patrick's Day)
Physical Quality: F- (overall evaluation for strength, endurance, agility, dexterity, ETC)
Mystical Quality: A (overall evaluation for mana quantity, mana control, good luck, ETC)
Chef Talents: None
Perfected Recipes: None
Skills: Professional Programming Lvl 5, Amateur Cookery Lvl 8

Fame: Unknown
[The System divide skills into 10 ranks: Newbie, Beginner, Novice, Amateur, Apprentice, Professional, Expert, Elite, Master and Perfect]
[To advance skill rank you will have to have raised the skill to level 10. For example, amateur cookery level 10 will change into apprentice cookery level 1]
[Perfect skill has no level]
[There are six main ranks for physical and mystical quality. Considering F rank to be a normal value for an average human. E rank is equal to ten times the normal value and it increases by ten incrementally until reaching fifty times at A rank. A rank is the highest normal rank, but there is an exception to the rule with the EX rank. It represents something that falls outside of the numerical ranking scale, a value that cannot be evaluated under the normal system because it is in a league of its own. EX rank is too powerful to the extent of rendering comparisons meaningless. The "+" modifier shows an increase in quality. The "-" modifier shows a decrease in quality.]
------------------------------------------
I had the same name, birth date, and luckily still male.
I also kept some skills from my first life, such as programming and cookery.
I noticed that the chef system included mystical quality on my status window, meaning I had magic powers.
The "you're a wizard" meme started to flash in the back of my head.
My mystical quality was absurd.
I am technically fifty times luckier and more magical than a normal person.
I thought about it later and checked if the system had any quests for me to do.
I hoped my system was like the novels I read previously.
