Chapter 14: In The Guildhall
As the big guy walks off from me, I see him walk to the other counter asking for a job he can do, he looks like a pretty decent adventurer, the quest he took had a 3-star rating which is pretty high for this town being in a pretty non-dangerous place, at least seemed that way before the creature situation happened, the woman behind the counter that was still looking at me was clearly looking if she could do anything, she would tell me it would be at least a 4+ star quest request costing me at least 60+ silver to get someone to even attempt helping, as I gladly accept and adding another 10 silver to make it a hurry request, as I realized I had more money then I expected it to be worth, the woman who made the job made it a fast response request sending it immediately with a few adventurers to the other guilds, I could not do anything untill someone would respond too the request, fearing the worst that my parents would be dead already, the woman behind the counter offered me a stay for the night at least introducing herself as 'Jessica', as I introduce my self to her she tells me the location of a inn which is only a few copper to stay in, as she tells me if there is anything else or any other requests I could always come back and make another.

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.
