I Run a Food Shop in an Escape Game (no cp)

Yi Han is dragged into a deadly escape game filled with danger at every turn. His only cheat ability is a giant iron wok, along with a completely blank cookbook.

Each time he clears a stage, another page of the cookbook fills itself in. Toss ingredients into the wok, and it produces overpowered dishes with all kinds of buffs:

Braised pork restores HP.
Ice cream restores MP.
And after eating a half-moon cream pastry, you can even spit out a ball of lightning!

Once Yi Han figures out the game’s mechanics, he easily earns an “All S-Rank Evaluation” for the first phase of dungeons using his cheat ability and his impressive skill at smashing ghosts with an iron wok.

Then the system notification appears:

【Business Area Unlocked! (^o^)/
Open your very first “Blackhearted™” Food Shop and start selling buff foods to future players~!】

Not long after, a mysterious thread quietly rises to the top of the escape game forums…

Player 1: Boss “Y”’s dishes are seriously useful!
Player 2: Boss “Y”’s dishes are seriously delicious!
Player 3: I’m Boss “Y”’s biggest fangirl! I got matched into a dungeon with him today! He looked so cool swinging that iron wok at ghosts! So ruthless when charging money though… I’m not trying to freeload, but can someone explain why TuT after taking my money, he insisted on “collecting every element” and dragged me through every single scare point and death trigger before finally clearing the dungeon…?

Reader Guide

  1. Other people are playing an escape game. The protagonist is playing a ghost-hunting, collection, and business-management game.
  2. The protagonist is absurdly overpowered. This is a light, relaxing, cathartic story mostly about clearing stages, demolishing buildings, and teasing teammates and evil spirits. No heavy angst or tragic revenge plots.
