Diner Pulp

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

Liu Yang's life used to revolve around a few simple truths: If the king crab wasn't fresh enough to pinch him back, it wasn't worth eating. Kobe beef? Only the finest cuts would grace his plate. And don't even think about uncorking a bottle of French wine that wasn't old enough to run for president. But then fate hit the cosmic snooze button, and Liu Yang woke up in a parallel universe where his platinum credit card was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Michelin-starred restaurants? Ha! He couldn't even afford the valet parking. Kobe beef? More like "look but don't touch, peasant." As if that wasn't bad enough, he'd been reincarnated as the owner of a hole-in-the-wall diner where burning a simple egg was considered a culinary triumph. Just when Liu Yang was resigning himself to a lifetime of serving up gastronomic atrocities... Enter the System. The Duplication System, to be exact. How's it work? Simple. Stare at someone for three seconds, copy their skills, profit. Rinse and repeat until you've collected more abilities than a Swiss Army knife. But this isn't just a story about a chef leveling up faster than a video game protagonist on a Red Bull binge. Oh no, this is a tale of a trust fund baby determined to conquer the multiverse, one hair-brained scheme at a time.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This is an unofficial translation of the novel "Lout of Count's Family."

"Zio, please--" Elijah silenced the younger vampire with a look that would kill a man. "I am the Master of my house, and I will be telling you what rules you must follow."
