Chapter 27

  Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, manga, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.

  Harry's POV:

  I seem to have entered a very modernized world. I found out later that I was in Korea which is the leading country in the gaming industry. Naturally I was interested, I had too many real life fantasy stories that it would be fun to relax and wind down.

  I pawned off some jewels, forged some papers and reopened my liquor spring gig.

  I later found out that Unicorn Corporation is releasing a real life virtual realy game 'Royal Road' that uses life size virtual capsules. Naturally the price for it was very expensive. 300,000 won per month I believe, but the world was starved for great entertainment so it still was a popular hit to the people.

  I ordered a copy of royal road and read it's manual. I found out that one week in the real world is 4 weeks in the gaming world.

  I finally got my ordered piece installed and I dived in.

  "Welcome to Royal Road, what would you like gender as?." The A.I asked.

  "Male." I answered.

  "Scaning...ding...system scan complete, this is what you or your avatar will look like, would you like some other changes done?."

  Even though I was male, I still looked like a mahou soujo with my white silky hair on my waist length and my height of 6.3 ft, I was stunningly very attractive.

  "No changes please." I said to the A.I.

  "There are 49 races and sub-races available, what would you like your race would be?."

  "I would like to be an elf." I said.

  "Where would you like your starting city at?." The A.I asked

  "The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom." I responded

  "Would you like a tutorial?."

  "Pass." I responded.

  "You will be transported at your chosen location shorty."

  ...Flash...

  I was transported to a square where there are lots of newbies everywhere.

  "Stats." I said as I checked my stats.

  I had nothing better to do so I asked directions to the library.

  I stuffed myself in books but I never did notice the sign untill it was evening, I never noticed it has been eight hours until my stomach demanded to be fed.

  I took some rye bread in my inventory and it tasted really really plain, negetive 10 points for taste, I rated it. I quickly drowned it down with a canteen of water provided as a starting Eq.

  I calmed myself after that fiasco and checked what I gotten. I seem to have accumulated 3 wis stats and 10 int stats from the books. I also have learned Mana Control too.

  "System, show skill Mana Control." I said.

  That was certainly great news, I can recreate some of my skills later. I looked for quest to get funds for my food, then I had an idea. I went to a restaurant and asked for work and negotiated that my payment were to be ingredients and access to kitchen tools. An unusual request but it certainly favoured the restaurant.

  I was worked to the bone, but since my original world skills in cooking was at God level, I did my chores done in a flash which made the owner happy and made the workers doubled their efforts not to be upstaged by the freeman (term used for players, is it the same term used in Log Horizon?).

  I was given a bonus for my passionate wort etiquette and I had gotten some bonus ingredients and spices. I quickly worked my miracle and showed mastery of my culinary experties.

  I tasted it and I was in pure bliss.

  "Stats." I checked my stats.

  The smell was so inviting that the manager offered me 1000 gold for it once she tasted it. I was also given a chef position and my wage will be what my dishes sold. I argued that I will be only available for 4 months. (yeah, beginners are forced to stay in the city for 4 months before guards allow you to leave.) She still agreed, the manager also shared the food to all the staff and quickly changed their tune about letting a beginner be in charge. I left and booked a fancy hotel that night.

  The manager was a very smart fellow and introduced my dishes to the officials and news quickly spread about my cooking.

  The next day, I found out that the restaurant was all booked by officials. I ignored the large gathering of players wondering if it was an event. The Manage quickly spotted me and called for me, players quickly gave way to me, my face quickly became known, bah, a supermodel looking man that can easily pass as a mahou soujo is sure bound to be noticed sooner or later.

  That day, I cooked up various exotic dishes, the officials were in pure bliss. The restaurant raked up so much money and I got 25,000 gold as my share.

  4 months later.

  The small restaurant I worked before, was now a renovated super restaurant. My divine cooking reached intermediate which increased all my stats by 10 and my dishes have increased their stat effect. I actually gained 50 permanent to all my stats by the end of my 4th month. I even recreated my 'spinning mana arrow' and 'mana shield'.

  Sadly I skipped the training hall, boohoo, oh but I'm rich, I now have 5 million gold. 50% familiarity with all the citizens of Serabourg and have 20% discount to all the stores within its walls. I also gained special equips that require no level when worn from my going away present from my valued custemers. Japtem all around.

  The King did gift me with a rare book that was found in the secret treasury chambers that was getting alot of dust, lucky me.

  That night at my hotel, I stored my 4.5 million gold at the bank owned by the King, I of course got a free VIP membership on the Bank from the king. This city really really has deep pockets.

  I then bought a wind dragon pet which cost 500G, it shouldn't be available to players yet and there were only five available for showcasing. This particular pet acts as a priest who gives lots of buff and heal. Those skills in a pet are actually very very expensive in other games, but thanks to Harry's luck, he managed to obtain one.

  With all things pretty much set, Harry read up the book the King gave, turns out, it was a great fantasy novel which I read for 3 hours.

  "Yes!" I said happily.

  "What?." I asked confused.

  "Show class Prinny summoner."

  I was shocked, this class is totally lame, well, I'm a God, I can make lame into cool.

  "Summon Minion x5." I used the skill, five magic circles formed and five blue penguins with small devil wings.

  "Were sorry for slacking off Master Etna, please don't punish us." Said the creature.

  "Ahem, hello my prinnies, I am a prinny summoner, would you like to form a contract with me." I asked boldly.

  "Holy smokes, it's a real live prinny summoner dood!."

  "The others will be pleased to hear this, sign us up, the whole prinny clan is at your beck and call, but there is a catch, we prinnies are reincarnated sinners forced to serve for our reincarnation, so how to say this, we work for money dood!." Said the leader of the prinny.

  "Hmm, I see, let me check on something, identify!." I said as I let my identify that really parallel to my scan skill. I got this skill some month's ago.

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  "I see, I see, this should cover for now." I said as I handed them 300,000 Gold inside the pouches which the prinny checked its contents.

  "Holy Shit!, dood!, our summoner is way loaded dood!, we will tell our whole prinny clan to quit their work for their different overlord, we have a new master, he's kind and best of all he's loaded. All hail our new Master!, what was your name again." Asked the prinny.

  "All hail master Harry!, just sign here." Said the prinny as he handed the contract.

  It stated that every month, they will get paid 10,000 gold for their services.

  I really could afford it and signed it eagerly.

  "Dood!, he really signed it?, wow he really is rich, Prinny City here we come!, and call us at your beck and call dood!, we do anything from manual labor to assassination, well not so much on the assassination, but we are Masters at any kind of labors, see you soon dood!." The prinny said as they vanished.

  "Stats." I asked for my stats, now that it has been 4 months.

  "Identify tittle Cooking God." I said as I was curious how I got that tittle.

  I rested that night for a whole busy day tomorrow but I didn't expect massive of newbies around the city hunting all the available spots. So I thought up an idea, Creeps (monsters) gets strong by 50 % at night, but yield 30 % more experience. By that logic, low level people will stay away.

  That night, the hunting spots were empty and I was free to take a spot.

  These are what my identify skill told me. I quickly summoned my prinny 5 of them.

  "You called dood?." Asked the prinnies.

  "Ahh yes, I want you to attack these monsters by group, I will give you food to enhance your stats to boost your survival." I said as I handed. the prinny squad some food.

  "Whoa, this is new dood, sending us to our deaths while letting us eat the food of the gods, ahh, our new master is awesome! dood." Said the prinnies.

  I quickly inatructed them with hive mind and my senbon weapons who seemed to be always critical blazed to our levels

  We quickly blazed through the levels as we were all level 20 by now by mass hunting wolves.

  My prinny was even a great conversationalist and they gained some skills.

  The skills are quite hilarious, throwing a panty and a bath tub with a girl is definitely funny. The prinny dance, oh poker adventures and boss monsters getting devastating debuff stats while my prinny squad were both buffed by my wind dragon and pickling the monsters with mana within safe duration was resulting in plowing too many animals.

  The day after that, I sold all my materials except cooking materials. I bought a nice portable cooking set Which I stocked well with my spices.

  A few days later, there were some players who announced that they somehow gained a secret class within the military of the Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom.

  These classes were:

  Yes this was a very big thing, so it came to my surprise when the King personally invited me in this quest as a cook, I have also been given the rank of Denarion temporary for my exclusive body guards.

  I really could not turn it down, it would make my fame go down in flames and so does the many perks that comes with it.

  1 week Later.

  I arrived at the castle barracks, many thought I was a noble due to the high quality equipments that the high officials of this city gifted me with. There were plenty of rumor's about me being a noble out for fame and glory.

  I picked up ten honest looking and hard working NPC, the rest of the troops were laughing at my weak choices, but I was satisfied, I don't want a hotshot NPC or player jeopardizing my safety, my only job was to cook and survive.

  The troops were finally ready and the troops were headed by a semi-competent player.

  Two hours of walking, we encountered a horde of Kobolds around level 20. ( Kobolds are "midget-like monsters,below four feet in height, armed with coarse wooden shields and bronze swords." ) The message popped that the location was the Lair of Litvart, outskirts section.

  The battle started and I ordered my ten troops guarding me to eat first and then lead them in simple strategy patterns. My squad seems to be doing very well that they were now level 25.

  We cleared the outskirts of Kobold and it was now time to enter floor one.

  We encountered Kobold rascals which are level twenty-three, stronger kobold warriors twenty-eight. These Kobolds have floors 1 and 2 of the Lair of Litvart.

  Clearing this group of Kobolds took alot of time. I ended up using my senbon needles, who knew that it was considered archery and now my archery is at an intermediate levels. Levels of my soldiers were pretty high, now they were level 40, my food must have an exp boost.

  Our expedition force were now at the end of floor 2, morale was low and food was not tasty with the old regular chef. Low and behold, I ordered my troops to distribute the food I made to the whole expedition force. It was very well received and morale was high.

  We stormed off to the third floor and we encountered goblins and the occasional goblin raiders. Goblins levels are 50 and above. The combat strength of the goblins is five to six times that of the kobolds. Goblins gathered in lesser numbers than kobolds. The occasional goblin raiders at level 58.

  It didn't really take long to clear the monsters because of the high morale and the somewhat competent centurion leading the squad. After clearing the dungeon, we went back to Serabourg and have gotten my quest reward. It was surprisingly a very high exp reward because my level 40 from the raid gained ten levels which made me level 50. Naturally the centurion took all the credit, but that was fine, my acceptance for this quest was for my continuous bonus.

  That night, I brought a stock of potions and cleared the Larvit dungeon with my prinnies.

  "No rest for the weary dood!." complained my prinnies.

  It was a long night, my prinnies were now level 50 and they gained new skills. Also the prinny's second teir evolution was now available. It really was just a stat boost in parameters.

  [] Pvt. Prinny = Blue/ Evolved to /Captain Prinny = Light Dark Blue []

  These are the new skills they gained:

  I had a pretty good haul, my level is now level 70 and my wind dragon is level 65 along with my five level 50 prinnies.

  I was about to head home when a magic circle popped up and there came a blue haired kid with a cool red scarf and wears shorts. Did I forget that he was shirtless?.

  "Ahahahahaha, I am overlord Laharl, so this is where the prinnies new lord they are serving, how puny!." Said Laharl.

  "Are you referring to your own height kid?." I accused him.

  "What?!, why you little, I was referring to your levels. Just for that, I will destroy you." Said the angry Laharl who gained a tick mark.

  "Identify!." I used my skill on him

  "Prinnies, formation X." I said as I readied for battle.

  "Ahahahahahaha, puny human, you can't expect to defeat an Overlord." Said Laharl arrogantly.

  "Oh really?." I asked him and I took out a CD player and put the sound to max.

  "Prinnies!, Dance Dance Revolution Baby!." I said as my prinnies started to twirl and did their silly dance along to the music.

  "Ahahahahahahaha, you fool!, what are they gonna do?, dance me to death?." Laharl said laughing.

  "Exactly!." I said as the prinnies started to inflicted many ailments status to one very powerful overlord.

  The status stacked one after another like the slow, poision, petrify, burn, no heal, confusion, and paralyze. They were so overstacked that the overlord couldn't really do anything and he could see his massive Hp continuously drop from the poison and burn status ailments and it didn't help him that I casted spinning mana arrows like there was no tomorrow. One hour later, the great overlord Laharl fell into battle.

  "Drat!, beaten by a human, Nay!, I guess your an overlord now, don't let the heroes beat you now, especially those cooky prism rangers." Laharl said as he vanished into polygons.

  "Stats!." I said as I opened my stats

  I also found out that my wind dragon was now lv 140 and my five prinnies are level 125 who became elighible for evolution to which I evolved them.

  [] Captain Prinny = Light Dark Blue/ Evolve to / General Prinny = Pink []

  "Ahh, today is a good day." I said as I returned to Serabourg.
