His path, like that of all designated ‘villains,’ was doomed to failure by design.But what happens when that design is defied?After death, Xiao Ning awakens—not in the cycle of reincarnation, but in the cold silence beyond it.

Luis Shin, a famous chef, was awarded a medal for his 10th 3-star restaurant. It was supposed to be a great day. However, after a few hours of being awarded, Luis Shin was in a white space. What was in front of him was a man with unparalleled beauty. And said beauty was bowing his head down.“I'm so sorry!”Apparently, the reason for his death was because of this god!“I will give you the chance to reincarnate in my world!” The god suggested as an apology.“New world? Does that mean there are new ingredients as well?!” Luis's eyes sparkled as he gazed at the god. And the god nodded his head. Without any hesitation,”Yes!“New ingredients? New foods? Who could say no to that?! Like that, Luis was reincarnated into the new world. What would be in store for him?Cover artist: VivilenThis is a slow paced and carefree novel I wrote.Posting time/chapters: Mon-Fri 2 chapters each dayPosting on royalroad as well

While his sister thinks he's just a lucky genius, Carlos systematically raids every hidden treasure, secret technique, and forgotten legacy he remembers from the game. Ancient bloodlines, divine artifacts, mystical cultivation methods—if it exists, he's taking it.With his infinitely evolving undead legion, Carlos set out on a path to rewrite destiny and become the supreme Death Herald legend.
