The Greatest Forbidden Mage is Just A Chef
Jack, a fanatic of food and a self-acclaimed 'five star cook', suddenly transported into the other world. It was so sudden, and so ordinary, Jack can't feel his survival mode kicked in the moment he transported.
But even in this alien land, Jack did not abandon his fanatism over food. Though, there's one problem.
"What is this?! No salt, no pepper, the meat were even still raw!!!"
Nothing could satisfy his modern tongue. And so, once again, he forced to cook for himself. And yet,
"There's no refrigerator... no oven... no dry agers... h-how could I cook MY food?!"
The absence of modern kitchen appliance has made him depressed. Thus, in desperation, he learnt magic, hoping for it to be able to substitute for modern equipment. Searching for tome, grimoire, or any other form of magical items. Then creating the spell, or, if lucky, stumble upon tome which record his very much needed magic in details. From the spell for deboning, blood draining, to the spell that literally slows down time. He hoard them all, using it almost everyday, and accidentally mastering them.
Unknowingly... caused mayhem.
"Wh-what are you...?"
"... A cook, sir."
"Ho! Are ya that mage that spook my brats, eh? Ye'r the real deal, I thought yer not. Lads! I challenge you!!"
"... please stop making a ruckus, you'll scare my livestocks. And also, I refuse. I'm a cook, not a fighting lunatic."
"I see. You're definitely strong. Huhu, I like you. Join me. I'll give your far better treatment than other organization. I promise in the name of Snow White."
"But I'm just a cook, Miss..."
No matter how hard he told everyone, they all never buy the truth. That he is just a cook. Leave with no choice, Jack starts to appear in the world despite his own quarantine. And there's only two things he's famous for. His rumored strength, and his spell.
"But I'm a cook?!!"
