After calming down I decided to take catalog of my rewards. First I asked the system what the GP was for.
System: GP or gourmet points are used to purchase items, skills and bloodlines. Host is currently only able to purchase items and skills from worlds you have visited. That is except the Gourmet World which is a freebie. As for bloodlines they become attainable after meeting special requirements.
Processing what the I looked over my new title.
[Huntsman: As a warrior who find and slay grim you will receive a 10% increase to physical stats. You will also be more sensitive to the presence of grim.]
Impressed with the benefits offered by my title I move to my next concern. Taking a peek at my new quest I was stunned.
[(Harem quest) Every Queen needs her knight: The grim while mindless do have a hierarchy and at top stands their queen. The queen has spent these many years ruling the grim. While a good leader she could still use a powerful Ally. Therefore you must prove to her that is you. Go around and defeat grim in the area. The powerful the beast the more interest she will show. Reward- increase Salem affection ( current progress: 5%)]
Escanor: System what the hell is the harem quest thing about.
System: Lady Eirian is not only the goddess of pleasure but also desire. Therefore the system is designed to allow for host to fulfill yours.
Stunned into silence I was unsure what to feel. A part of me was excited be the potential of future situations. While another part felt this was somewhat wrong. Giving up on thinking about it I continued walking.
(POV change: third person)
Deep within the grim lands stood a magnificent castle. The castle possess a solemn elegance. Anyone lucky enough to gaze upon it glory would feel the need to kneel. Unfortunately no one could bear witness to his glory ,because it was surrounded by terrifying monsters. In the throne room was a woman in deep thought. She had smooth pale white skin ,which mixed with the red markings on her created a unique sex appeal. Her eyes had red pupils with a black background. She wore a black and red dress that exposed her cleavage. She had silky grey hair styled in the from of a spider. If people were to see her some would call her a goddess others a devil. This beautiful woman was contemplating what she sees before her.
She had received an alert from the grim in the forest. They apparently came across an intruder. something that has not happened for number of years. Looking through the eyes of her servants she noticed a single young man. Sensing that he didn't have an aura. She decided to send an alpha Beowolf and be done with it. What she saw shocked her. The young man actually defeated her grim pretty easily. After seeing him cut off the top half of the grim's head.
Salem: interesting he seems to be a novice at fighting ,but his physical abilities made up for his inexperience. Perhaps I should send more grim see his.
As she said that she flashed an amused expression. Coming to a decision she order her pets to attack him. She continues to observe him not noticing she starts to feel emotions long forgotten.
(POV end)
It has been a few hours since I arrived in this forest. So far I have been facing a steady stream of grim. I have managed to kill about 50 ,of which a majority were Beowolfs. The more time that went by the more I picked up on. For example my sense of hearing had improved ,to the point that, I could hear everything within a 90m radius. I have also managed to level up 4 times. My current status looked like this

Feeling pride over my achievements I heard my stomach growl. Realizing I have not eaten anything. I decided to look for something to eat. The problem is this grim filled hellhole had nothing to eat. As I was fretting the system came to the rescue.
System: Host can use your point to purchase ingredients from the Gourmet World. You could also for an additional cost have the ingredients cooked.
Hearing the awesome news I immediately opened the store.
[store:
Items
skills
Ingredients]
Alright system show the ingredients open the ingredients.
[Ingredients: GOD(GP: 1,000,000,000)/CENTER(GP:1,000,000)/PAIR(GP:6,000,000]
Escanor: System show me the cheap ingredients.
[Ingredients: Lion Pig(GP:118 per ounce}/Thorn Weasel(GP:25 per pound]
Looking over the list of ingredients I decided on getting an ounce of Lion Pig. I also had the system roast the meat it cost me about 138 GP. Eating my meal I had to admit it had a nice rich flavor. Not only that but that ounce of meat was extremely filling. When I finished eating I received a notification. [ding.... Gourmet cells activating]
[ due host activating cells he will given +3 to all stats. Host has also gained the skill predator's intimidation.]
Escanor: System can you display predator's intimidation.
[Predator's intimidation: Due to the awakening of your gourmet cells you have become able release aura of intimidation. When faced against a beast opponent your presence has a chance to weaken them. If the opponent is far weaker than you then they will cower before you. Effect is based on how high your charisma is.]
As I read my new skill I decided to take a look at the description of Gourmet cells. Basically my cells worked the same as it did on the show. My cells would boosted my stats and heal me. The only difference was that each new bloodline would mutate them. Feeling stronger than before I went to look for prey. About a minute later I came across a pack of Ursa. The pack of Ursa were black with pieces of bone armor. There were 5 Ursa majors mixed into the pack of 20. Taking my sword in my hand I smiled. I raised my sword and jumped into the crowd. Arriving in front of one them I throw an uppercut. My fist made contact with it's chin sending it's head flying. Going into a roundhouse I kicked another one. Hitting it on the side of it's face I killed it. Dodging a wide swing I stepped to the side. I then brought my sword down cutting one in half.
Throwing a straight I burst ones head. Continuing my rampage I killed all the regular Ursa. All that was left were the 5 majors. Standing before the five of them I decided to try something. Holding my up in the air I used it to draw a circle. When I did a golden ring appeared above. Once it was complete I was wear a golden armor. In my armor I charge at the Ursa. I struck with a horizontal slash cutting three of them. The fourth managed to stop my blade. Grasping my sword the monster roared at me. It took a swipe at me with it's claws. Which I evaded by ducked and freeing my blade. Cutting the major's finger off I jumped into a knee. In the air I did a barrel roll cutting it cleanly in half. Landing on the ground I stabbed the last one in the throat.
