'The situation you told me reminded me of something that happened more than once in my past life. To eliminate something good and peaceful because a bunch of greedy assholes wanted some power and to eliminate a possible threat that could stop their reign over something…'
Ainen clenched his fists.
Special Quest, accepted!
'I accept the quest. Not to mention that I also get someone like you who has abundant knowledge and experience of this world.'
Ainen smiled. 'Welcome to the kitchen of Chef Ainen.'
There was silence for three whole seconds after Ainen accepted the special quest.
Lord Black was looking at a screen in his own conciousness that said that Ainen had indeed accepted the quest.
'You really did accept…' Lord Black's voice was emotional, almost shaky.
'Thank you, thank you so much for this chance. Please allow me to guide and help you in any way possible. I swear to give my utmost to make you strong enough to stand against the Lunaria Empire and Starion Blade Magic Power.'
[You have acquired Lord Black's Compendium.]
'Ainen, may I take a look at your complete arsenal? That way, I can suggest and teach you skills that you might be able to learn right now.'
[ Lord Black is asking you to share your information. You can also choose to share your visual and auditory senses with Lord Black if you permit it, which will make it easier for him to guide you and help you. ]
[ Accept ] - [ Reject ]
'Sure. Take a look at it. Meanwhile, I'll use the rest of the tickets.'
Ainen smiled as he pressed [ Accept ] in his mind and also permitted to share his eyes and ears with Lord Black before looking at the slot machine.
Lord Black suddenly saw the world of darkness lighting up around him and saw a strange machine in front of him.
'If I may ask, what kind of magic item is that?' Lord Black asked, curious.
"It's a magic item that might give me something good. Hopefully"

[ Congratulations. You have acquired an Artifact. Ink-Shade Mask (Tier-5 / Epic) ]
A strange mask with moving magical ink on its surface appeared before Ainen, having no clear pattern or shape.
'Tier-5?' Ainen was shocked. 'Isn't that too strong?
Lord Black looked at the mask and was surprised. 'That item feels pretty powerful. Its Mana signature quality is on the same level as those at Lord-rank.'
'Let's check the details.' Ainen eagerly inspected the mask.
Grade: Tier-5 / Epic.
—> Wearing the mask will allow you to change your appearance into the one you imagine at no cost, but after 100 hours, the effect will wear off, and the mask will require a cooldown of 24 hours to charge up again.
—> Only those above Lord-rank can see through the mask's effect. Some Lord-rank powerhouses with exceptional ocular powers may be able to see through the mask's effect.
'Holy potato! This is so good.' Ainen was dumbfounded.
Lord Black nodded. 'This should help your survival. The world is cruel to those who wish to rise in power even more, as you will have to fight for resources with your life on the line. It's inevitable that you will face hurdles, so this mask will be very useful.'
'Yep. That said, how strong were you in your prime, Lord Black?'
'I was an Emperor-rank, level 1638.'
'Level 1638…that's so high.' Ainen wryly smiled. 'Well, I'll reach there eventually.'
Next, Ainen did the third draw.
[ Poopoop! You got nothing. ]
'What?!' Ainen's mouth opened, his face dazed. 'So there's a chance I won't get anything at all?'
[Congratulations. You have acquired a stalk of Geopulse Flower (Tier-3 / Legendary)]
'Oh?! My first legendary item!'
Ainen's eyes shone. 'And it's a flower. Alright, this is going into my cooking dish that will act as my Magic Core's catalyst.'
First ingredient acquired!
'Not bad. This is a rather good value resource. Even if you can't use it since you don't have Earth elemental affinity, you can get a solid amount of funds by selling it,' Lord Black said
Ainen chuckled, shaking his head.
'I won't sell it. Oh yeah, let me also show you the details of my Mana Cultivation Method.'
Ainen shared it and then used the last ticket.
[ Congratulations. You have acquired a skill rune: Sand Manipulation (A) ]
'Huh?' Ainen blinked and double checked. 'I am not seeing things…'
Excitement bubbled in his eyes. He finally got the second element!
'But it's Sand. How strong is it? It should be strong, right?'
Without further ado, Ainen used the skill rune and started his path of mastering the Sand element.
[ Sand Manipulation ]
—> You can transform mana into sand and control the sand.
'Eh? I didn't get resistance against other elements? Is it exclusive to S-rank elemental manipulation?'
Suddenly, Ainen heard Lord Black's voice in disbelief. 'W-What is this?!'
'What? My Mana Cultivation method? It's pretty awesome, right?'
Black Lord was slightly flustered. He had never seen such an exotic Mana Cultivation Method.
'It is indeed very flexible, but also heavily reliant on your skills to make your Magic Core strong. But I can't understand…your cooked food?'
Ainen laughed. 'Wait, I'll properly show you my main arsenal of powers.'
'First, this is my class. Take a look at the effect of the skills I got.'
Lord Black looked at the class details. 'What the…'
If he had a physical body, his jaw would have dropped and shattered the ground.
'Here's my Innate Talent, I Cook Limitlessly.'
Black Lord couldn't find words. He just blanked out.
Absurd. Bullshit. Unreal.
'How…how could there be an innate talent ? And why is its rank like that?'
[Innate Talent: I Cook Limitlessly]
—> You can view details of everything, living and non-living, and cook them.
—> You can designate everything as ingredients.
—> The food you make can bring out the full potential of ingredients. Depending on the attributes of ingredients, your food may give temporary or permanent powers. The quality of powers gained depends on your cooking skills as well as the quality of ingredients.
