《Level Up Lord》Chapter 1: Karl the Baby
Advertisement
An old woman came, alerted by the cry of the baby. The woman looked big. Very big.
'Is she a giant??'
"Oh my, you must be hungry, right? Here's your treat."
The old woman carried him and fed him with a bottle of warmed milk.
The bottle was made of wood and the tip was just covered with a thin layer of cloth but whatever it is, when you are hungry, you just shut your mouth up and eat what is given to you.
"My boy, what an appetite you do have, hohoho (*it's not Santa Claus laugh). You are new here so let's give you a name as well. It would be too cruel for a cute baby such as you to not have any name."
So yeah, he now has a name: Karl.
'Well, it's not too bad as a name I guess.' thought Karl, the baby.
"Boo-booh"
"Oh, you are happy now? What an adorable baby you are. May Demeteria bless you, Karl."
And so, after being fed, Karl was layed back on his bed.
'Demeteria? From what she says, that must be the name of the God in which she believes in'
He tried to move his body after the old woman was gone but without much success. So he tried to swing his arms upwards. A bit chubby, white, petit but fragile looking arms. Like a baby's arm. And look at those small tiny hands! A baby's hand!
Yeah, now it's confirmed: Karl really wasn't in a land of giants (or in an attraction park) but he became a baby.
'So I should think I've reincarnated or something like that and since I see this weird game window, this must be somewhat like in those fantasy novels. Well, I have no choice but to live on, get used to this and try to survive.'

There was no goods in being panicked and Karl fortunately was cool-headed. And there wasn't much he could do anyway as for now.
And so, Karl spent a few days trying to know more about his actual situation and his surroundings.
So here's what he got:
1. He's an orphan (and the status window confirms it) and is in an orphanage.
2. For an unknown reason, he understands the language spoken by the old woman. And this language doesn't look like any of those spoken on Earth.
3. The old woman is a nun. Her name is Emmanuella.
4. There's 9 more other children in this orphanage, all older than him.
5. There's a pinkish red moon in the sky!!!
6. The orphanage doesn't seem to be in a good financial situation.
7. This world looks like the Middle Ages in Earth from what could be seen. The tools, the orphanage's building, the clothes... So a medieval fantasy world?
'I feel so powerless...But wait, babies tend to roll over at around their 3rd or 4th months of birth! And the earlier I can do that, the earlier I could get out of this tiny wooden bed and move around! Well, this is just my expectation but let's do this. It doesn't hurt to try and I've got nothing better to do anyway.'
That's how Karl tried over and over to flip over.
2 more days has passed and finally, Karl succeeded to flip over!
'Hell yeah! I don't know why but it somehow feels like I've accomplished a great achievement!'
'Damn it.'
But nobody except a single mosquito congratulated Karl for his effort.
'Fuck mosquito!'
Karl smashed the fucking mosquito that tried to bite his arm with its fucking needle and fucking suck his blood to the bone!
Spaf!
Suddenly, a small window popped up along with a bell sound.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
