'Your smile is the best reward,' the young chef strives to give each customer their own 'happiness.' Through his efforts, countless guests gather: Rai and Mei, Artoria and Kanna, Kiritsugu Emiya and Archer, the Sun Knights and the Azure Stars, Daigo and Shotaro… Countless guests from different worlds meet here. The clash of ideas changes countless destinies, and the young chef gradually matures amidst this intellectual exchange. Meanwhile, at the boundary between life and death, a man like the sun repeatedly uses his cooking to help guests on the verge of eternal sleep regain hope. Even with his hands covered in wounds, he still struggles to uphold the burden of life. This is a story about how cooking changes destinies—

A meteorite falls from the sky, shattering the world! A strange contamination spreads, mortals mutate, and monsters roam freely!

Lin Ye, a young man who only wanted to run his family's blacksmith shop peacefully, was caught up in this apocalyptic catastrophe.

In a nightmare, he was branded with a cold mark on his soul and became an indescribable "Apostle"!

[Crazy Knowledge]? [Forbidden Authority]? Is this mark a curse or a source of power?

The abyss whispered seductively: "Offer your soul, and I will grant you godhood!"

Lin Ye roared, "To hell with Nyarlathotep! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

His left hand grips a hammer used to smash someone's head (symbolizing ordinariness and protection), while his right hand tears through the mad fog!

Who says the path of the apostles leads only to destruction? I, Lin Ye, will defy fate, trample the Outer Gods underfoot, and save this damned world!

(P.S.: The synopsis is weak, but the main story is super exciting! Post-apocalyptic survival + Cthulhu mysteries + Apostle evolution + tearing apart Outer Gods!)

My new work is out! Welcome to read my work on Tomato Novels. I hope you will enjoy it. Your support is my motivation for writing, and I will strive to tell every story well!

[Overlord] [Slow Burn] The secrets hidden deep within the Slane Theocracy, the true god buried in history; the turbulent Central Continent, the clash between the prince, the emperor, and the undead; the transcendent Far East, the descendants of former players... The true face of this other world will be revealed by the alien species; in the endless abyss, is there a conspiracy that even the gods cannot eradicate...?

[Breaking News: The Lost Bamboo Forest is filled with the noise of playing cards at night; the Scarlet Devil Mansion is buying large quantities of fashionable stockings from the dungeon; and the Hakurei Shrine is ablaze with green light. The notorious Black and White Thieves are repeatedly failing and their legs are trembling as they leave the cabin; the little girl who calls herself an S-class hero is exhausted and loses her focus. The purple-haired girl who can create monsters teams up with the puppeteer of the Magic Forest to create Mechagodzilla, which then engages in a duel with the three alien sisters. Is all of this a scheme by Mu Huai to overthrow the Yakumo family and achieve harem domination throughout Gensokyo, or is the Moon Princess pulling the strings under his table? To find out what happens next, please buy the next issue of the newspaper!] Kaguya tossed the newspaper in front of Mu Huai, squinting as she asked, "You're that shrine maiden's fiancé, isn't it a bit much to be flirting around like this?" "What flirting? This is all you and Yukari made me do! I'm doing this to save Gensokyo!" Mu Huai said, taking a sip of his goji berry tea, and replied confidently, "To save Gensokyo, I've traveled through worlds day and night, working tirelessly. Even if I haven't done anything particularly meritorious, I've certainly put in the effort. You can't just slander me like this!" (Two completed novels, each over a million words. Please feel free to add them to your collection and follow along! Author: Iron-Blooded Harem Man!)

All in! (Forget everything, I have to save everyone!)

A heads-up: There are many one-sided crushes, so there will be descriptions of attraction (or something to that effect), but the female lead won't develop romantic relationships with anyone (I can write if/after-flight scenarios or side stories, but not in the main story). ⚠️The relationship between Yuuta Otoko and Rika Inori has been changed to a close friendship, and the nature of "Rika Inori, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit" has been slightly altered ← I'm refining this as I read, so I can't quite define exactly what's changed. (Since there's no proper ending, then there shouldn't be any "romantic love" as a reason from the start.)

Uh, actually, the author wanted to save everyone and also wanted some sweetness, but didn't want any romantic pairings (eyes darting away).

The life forms of ancient legends have sung songs of hope tirelessly for millennia. Those who follow, will they find mercy to stay?

Humans are such wondrous creatures; they create and destroy everything. Evil knows no species, and we shouldn't therefore condemn destruction to an extreme degree. All those who yearn to live better should fulfill their desires with their own hands.

Therefore, let's cherish all our beautiful wishes as much as possible; life should never be wasted.
