Deep-Fried Masterpieces

Bram Corten’s morning was perfectly normal until a dimensional rift tore through his kitchen, and the Awakening assigned him the absolute lowest-tier class in the Aegis-Spire: Chef. Restricted to cooking only 'Basic Meals,' he is doomed to peel potatoes while the elite Vanguard fight the monstrous Null-Swarms. But Bram is too hot-tempered to accept a life in the cafeteria. In a fit of rage, he throws a cheap thrift-store painting into his wok and turns up the heat. The System glitches, registering the canvas as a 'Basic Meal' - and the painted knight steps out of the sizzling oil with god-level stats. Soon, Bram is deep-frying landscapes to summon impenetrable fortresses and boiling abstract art to unleash reality-bending horrors. When a city-destroying behemoth attacks, Bram one-shots it with a pan-seared masterpiece, leaving the elites utterly speechless. However, his infinite scaling triggers a red alert. The terrifying 'System Virus' that authorities have been hunting? That’s just Bram making lunch. Now, the System is actively deploying emergency patches to nerf him. With his loyal best friend Joost hiding a dangerous secret, can Bram out-cook the laws of reality before he is deleted?
