The table was served, a myriad of dishes was made in under ten minutes. Yeah, I don't even need to take too long to prepare things like these using my powerful Specialization abilities.

"Wooow! This looks so yummy! Thank you Plantaaa! Nom, nom, nom!" Cecilia started eating everything happily. "Ooogghhh! Sho guuud! What's this?! Nam, nam!"

"O-Oi! Wait, Cecilia! Don't eat everything you glutton!" Hermes complained, pushing her away before she was to eat a whole pizza on her own. "Nom- Hm?! This thing is what you call pizza?! It's insanely good! I never thought combining these ingredients over a bread would make them so tasty together!"

"I also love that, but this… This sweet and cold dessert, it is really refreshing, especially with the heat of this time of the year, even in the morning." Said Mercedes, as she ate the ice cream cheesecake. "And I never imagined that cheese and yogurt could be combined together in such a way. And this cold cream, ice cream! So many amazing new ideas combined together."

"This is… Yeah, its amazing. These eggs are fluffy and warm, and the bacon are crunchy and salty, a godly combination even for a dragon like me, who mostly likes eating raw meat." Laughed Elbedo, devouring the food.

"I'm glad it is of your liking!" I felt slightly proud of my cooking.

[The [Cooking Spirits in the World] are shocked of what you've cooked! They want some of that but can't enter the Dungeon.]

[The [Ancient Chef Of The Golden Mountain] slumber has been completely disrupted! He groans in hunger, he wants to eat breakfast too, but cries because he's so far away.]

Huh? Again with these weird messages. Who the hell is the Ancient Chef of the Golden Mountain anyways? I am so confused right now. I wonder if these ancient people know about him? I might as well try to ask.

"Do you happen to know about someone named "Ancient Chef of the Golden Mountain" or something?" I wondered.

"No, not at all. Who is he?" Mercedes asked.

"Nope!" Cecilia said while drinking chocolate milk. "Hmm, so tasty!"

"I don't know him, sorry." Hermes said.

"What? That title…" Elbedo muttered. "I have heard about someone with that title, a few years ago. When I briefly visited the Eastern Continent. I heard he was a powerful Ki Cultivator that also was trying to become an Immortal but failed. He was the laughingstock of the local Immortal Cultivators."

"Wait, Immortal Cultivators exists?!" Asked Mark. "Ah, this is too good- But yeah, do they?!"

"Even for me the Eastern Continent is a mystery. It is a continent full of our same kind, and a few derived races created by other Gods. It is said to be much more ancient than Verdant, the continent below us which we are slowly raising as the Yggdragon became Yggdrasil. As of now only little Titania and her pets are there." Said Elbedo.

Little Titania! So this is that time when Titania was just created by Yggdrasil, and her pets must be the other creatures.

Wow…

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've completed the Auxiliary Mini Quest: [Cook Some Delicious Breakfast!]

[You have not only made them incredibly happy with such tasty dishes, but you've enlightened their minds and sharpened their focus and cognitive ability.]

[The Researcher's Stats and Abilities Power and Effects will be boosted by +100% for the next Scenario once it begins!]

[Quest Conditions]: [Cook something that will both satiate them and surprise them: Complete]

[Completion Rewards]: [+100.000 Score Points.]

[Current Score]: [600.000]

Oh, it's complete! Nice.

"So what's the name of this guy?" Mark wondered. "And why are you asking about him out of the sudden, Elayne?"

"Ah, well, I keep getting this message in my head about him watching what I cook? Its weird." I said.

"O-Oh, yeah, that's odd." He nodded.

"Ahem! As I was saying. I do remember that he had a title but not a name. He belongs to the race of Pandaren, ancient and strong people that live in the Eastern Continent." Elbedo explained. "And that he had gone into a slumber after being unable to breakthrough into finding enlightenment necessary to advance his Culinary Abilities and attain the Gourmet Dao."

"I see… So weird, do you guys also cultivate this thing?" I wondered.

"Each God has a different teaching about the absorption and transformation of energy. In the Eastern Continent they call this technique Cultivation, and they specialize in the refinement and enhancement of the physical force known as Ki! In here, we specialize in the refinement and transformation of Mana and its evolution into Divine Essence." Elbedo continued explaining as he munched on the pizza and then the brie bread.

"So it's like… Every God designated a certain group of people and continents to research something?" I wondered.

"Yes, that's right." Hermes agreed to that too. "I am surprised you didn't remember this, if you live here you should have also known this."

"Ahahaha, right, yeah! Silly me." I laughed it off.

Once we finished eating breakfast, we decided to go to town because they wanted to buy new items and groceries. Sadly there were messages saying any item we get inside of the dungeon will disappear later, so we held off from trying to buy these ancient objects.

However, as we explored such ancient lands, I had this weird feeling, as if something was off. Something in the atmosphere, or the streets? A dark presence.

And then…

Ding!
