Food Cultivation: My Power Increases With Every Like

NoSandInBeach
Long Jun thought studying for imperial exams was his ticket out of poverty. Then he overheard rats talking in his kitchen at midnight. Yes, TALKING RATS. They could apparently see his "fortune being stolen" and the "dark, gloomy aura" surrounding him. But that wasn't even the weird part. After feeding these midnight visitors, Long Jun discovered he'd unlocked the legendary [Food Cauldron Scripture]—a mystical cultivation system where he gained power every time someone complimented his cooking. And boy, did his food deserve compliments! Even plain white porridge suddenly tasted like heaven's nectar. With one cooking pot, he created all the flavors of the human world. Simmering mountains and rivers in his cauldron, he cooked the sun and moon. Long Jun tore apart flood dragon bones and devoured the golden elixirs of Clear Void Daoist elders. Using the world as his chessboard, he hosted banquets for humans, gods, spirits, and ghosts. He witnessed clouds stretching thirty thousand li across Kunlun Mountain and heard winds whisper through the twelve-tiered jade palace. In the imperial city's heavenly pavilion, he shredded magnificent literary works. He would cook this filthy world clean! Long Jun needed to collect enough food-praise "likes" to unlock cultivation gates before whoever was stealing his fortune succeeded in ending his life. Join this reluctant Food God's journey from struggling scholar to supernatural chef, where every "delicious!" brings him closer to survival, every neighbor might be an enemy, and the most honest friends might just be the rats in his kitchen. ============================= Bandit Leader: "Where is the food? Do you really keep me waiting? Do you know who I am, huh? Son of a bitch! Take him out and behead him." Heavenly Demon: "Let him cook!" Bandit Leader: "What did you say, old man? Do you want to die too?" Slash! Heavenly Demon: "I SAID, LET HIM COOOOOOOKKKKK!"

Freedom Jumper

Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the very thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Eternal dreams unfathomable to man. New world, new body, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? After two years of meandering the current of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. “This isn’t real…” —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life
