The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online
New Skill
Each time a player dies they will be revived and required to wait for 5 minutes.
5 Minutes had passed, Nier saw a white light begin to appear around his body and before long his gaze was replaced by a white room.
Now that he saw her body that looked the same as a newbie, he was just wearing a regular t-shirt and trousers. Not long after he saw the surroundings and white rays kept popping, from the rays there were many players who were raised like him, but after being resurrected they immediately ran out.
This place is shaped like a temple with a small altar in the middle, around the altar there are many statues that he does not know each other, lined up, being uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere he decided to walk out of the room.
'... What am I gonna do now? do I need to buy a gun first? But I have no money...'
"That damn monster, I lost Rare-level Armor because of it..."
Perplexed he saw the Unresolved Quest, there were two first from Aaron and the second from Virtez.
Virtez's dream is impossible to complete at this time, it's like an impossible Quest, after all it was said that Exaworld Online still has 85% of the unexplored parts.
Even 15% was already very difficult because he had to fight monsters with hundreds more level where he was still level 0. Especially coupled with that suspicious Reward.
The next quest was Alchemy and he looked at the list of items he had gathered earlier.
"Luckily this item is still intact, otherwise I have to go back to that damn place again..."
* * *
Arriving there he only saw a girl reading a thick book without caring for the person who came to his shop, Nier smiled and walked up to the girl and knocked on the table nearby.
Tuk tuk!
The girl was nothing but aaron, she glanced at Nier for a moment then walked up to him while carrying the ledger earlier.
Seeing him made Nier become astonished, how could a girl like him be told to guard the shop? Were they not afraid that this item was stolen by someone?
"I want to finish the Quest..." Nier took out a lot of herbs that he picked earlier and gave them to Aaron.
Aaron nodded and received all the herbs Nier gave him after which he took out one book and two brown-colored papers.
"Thank you sir, ..but it seems like this is all I can give you.." Aaron looked down a little.
『 Alchemy Skill Book obtained. 』
『 Low level HP Potion recipe obtained. 』
『 Low level MP Potion recipe obtained. 』
Nier smiled in satisfaction, at least with this Skill he could make money.
"Thank you for helping me so much, then I'll go.." Nier said politely as she slightly lowered her head and left the shop. With the book in his hand he immediately used the book.
『 Alchemy Mastery Skills learned. 』
『 Alchemy Mastery (Passive)
Level 1 Beginner
* Can learn alchemy recipe.
* Increase alchemy success rate and production speed by 3%. 』
『 Low level HP Potion recipe has been studied. 』
『 Low level MP Potion recipes have been studied. 』
After looking at the recipe it turns out how to make it is quite simple and the material is also easy to get, making 1 HP potion only requires 3 quotes of herbs and for the success rate is also quite high.
Unfortunately, Nier no longer had any herbs to make potions, So he decided to once again become a farmer in the Iron Bear region.
However after Nier reached the city gate he saw something unusual as there were hundreds of novice players gathered.
Usually in a beginner city like this there are only dozens of newbies, but now there are more than 500 players gathered and the number is still not stopped.
Unable to stand his curiosity Nier finally asked a young man who looked the same age as him.
"Excuse me, do you know what's going on?"
The young man immediately turned his head towards Nier, "Ohh, you must be a new player, do you want to follow us?"
"No no thank you for the friend's offer, .I just want to know what happened..." Nier asked as he pointed at the crowd of newbies who were gathering.
"Hohoho, that's our martial organization, our dojo will do the training that will be held inside the game..." The young man kindly explained what had happened then asked Nier again,
"Well, friend, are you interested? our dojo accepts anyone who is interested in martial arts and later we will establish a Guild consisting of warriors."
Nier paused for a moment and answered him a little embarrassedly, "Sorry friend, but I'm a chef..."
"Ohh... Relax, even if we can still be friends." The young man was quite cheerful and did not insult Nier.
"Thank you, I think I should go..." Nier then walked into the forest.
A Guild full of warriors and adventurers together imagining it alone had already made him envious. Before entering the game he had also imagined himself adventuring with friends and becoming the best player in Exaworld Online, which is why he practiced many martial arts.
* * *
Nier walks alone in a deserted forest, sometimes killing small monster monsters and storing his flesh in an inventory. Since Virtez's crazy Quest told him to eat all kinds of monsters meant that this little monster also had to eat. After a few minutes of walking he finally saw many meditate plants and started picking them.
However, just 15 minutes passed he was already feeling very bored and thought why play the game should be a farmer and pluck the grass? He should have fought a monster like a dragon then it was the perfect game.
With boredom and drowsiness Nier still picking until finally collected 600 herbal plants. Because the materials have been collected now is the time to do production.
30 Minutes of picking and 30 minutes of producing he finally managed to make 120 HP potions, although the surrounding many herbal plant processes made it very boring even almost he fell asleep.
One HP potion had a price of 50 bronze coins and now he had 120 potions which meant that if he sold all these potions he would earn as much as 6,000 bronze coins!
By making HP potions he could make a lot of money but the process was very tedious, just right away he put all the potions into his Imventory.
"Hm.. Why is my inventory always full..."
Nier opened the Inventory and was greeted by hundreds of kinds of meat that he obtained earlier, when talking about meat he again remembered his job that had turned into a chef and not long later he took out [Chef Tool Box].
"I've never opened this box, what's in it?" Nier had forgotten the box that his teacher said was important.
Nier's hand opened the box slowly and as he thought it was just a cooking tool, he also saw the knife his teacher had used.
Inside there is a dish that looks like a stove besides there is a fork, spoon, spatula, pan, and knife. This box seemed to have 3 tiers but when he tried to open it, he could not.
It seemed like he could only use this equipment first before obtaining another weapon. Nier picked up one of the Items that were inside the box and then looked at all his statuses one by one.

Nier was stunned and speechless again, it turned out that the box was a treasure box. He checked it once more and returned dumbfounded.
"Hahaha this item is so amazing!"
Nier was very interested in his new weapon, with the [Dark Knife] that was in his right hand he threw the blade up into the sky.
"Dark Knife!"
Pzzzt!
[Dark Knife] that was above the sky suddenly disappeared turning into a black shadow and re-appeared on Nier's right hand.
"... In-This is so cool!"
Just as it was written in the description of the [Dark Knife] every time he called out his name, the weapon would return to Nier's palm.
Not stopping there, Nier took all the equipment in the bag and threw it into the sky, she felt very happy and looked like a child who had just been bought a toy by her mother.
"Hahaha this is so much fun..."
"Maybe I tried my new skill..."
Looking at his list of Skills Nier chose to try out the Dark Wave Skill, with a knife in his right hand he was getting ready with what was about to happen.
"Dark Wave!"
As he guessed there was no movement assistance from the system, usually when the player said the name of his Skill the system would instantly respond by moving the player's body according to the description of the Skill.
But when he saw his hand now the [Dark Knife] took out a pitch-black Aura and looked the same as his Teacher Skill back then.
Unwilling to waste any more time he instantly struck the wind, and from the blade came out a black wave that was shaped like a sword slash.
The wave reached a distance of 3 meters and hit a tree in front of him,
Duaarrr!
Nier was surprised to not expect that the tree that was hit by the attack would be split in two.
"Dam... This skill is so cool! ... If only getting additional damage would be even more amazing..."
"For the next skill is Dark Prison."
Despite obtaining 7 Skills, only 2 could be used to fight. When changing jobs he gets 3 passive Skills, 2 Special Skills, and 2 Active Skills.
3 Passive Skills namely, Meat Slash, Abnormal Cooking, and Abnormal Body.
What he really understood among the Skills was the Meat Slash skill because it was clearly written that each attack would ignore the target's defense.
As for Abnormal Cooking and Abnormal Body he does not understand so well, according to him Abnormal Body is useful so as not to food poisoning and Abnormal Cooking is just an ordinary cooking skill. He intended to experiment to find out more about his skill.
He also has 2 Special Skills namely, Masquerade and Revival. Special Skill is a special skill that is only given to players who get Hidden Class, but usually players only get 1 special skill while he gets 2.
According to him, these two Special Skills were useless for combat.
The masquerade could be used to change shape into the monster he eats, but when it turns into a monster he will find it difficult to get used to his new body.
The second there is Special Skill Revival, according to him this Skill is a trash Skill indeed who also wants to wear a Skill that has a lot of negative effects let alone the effect of reducing 100 levels, it is very terrible!
Dark Wave had already tried it and now it was time to put on Dark Prison, he had no idea how vast the prison this skill would create so he set the tree as the target.
Nier reached out his right hand and pointed it at a fairly large tree,
"Dark Prison!"
His right hand was suddenly enveloped by dark energy and the tree he was targeting had turned into a pitch-black cube box.
"...!"
After three seconds the black energy disappeared and the tree that was there was gone.
"Aren't I going to become a top ranker if it's this strong?" Nier smiled with satisfaction at his skill and then re-opened the [Chef Tool Box].
Seeing the Items that were inside Nier instantly prepared [Dark Stove] and [Dark Pan].
'Now it's time to try the greatness of this job.'
When the stove was turned on a dark red flame came out of its axis and did not forget he put the pot on it.
It was an interesting experience for him, then Nier took some monster meat and put it all in the pot.
Then he suddenly remembered something very important.
"How do I cook?"
