The once bright moon disappeared from the sky and what replaced it was a fiery sun. Rei woke up comfortably as he instinctively stretched his hands upwards. He never thought that it was this comfortable sleeping under a tree, but when his mind cleared up and observed the surroundings before him. His mind gaped in shock.

'Whose room is this?!' This was Rei's first thought when he saw his surroundings. Trees and dirt were the things that he expected to see when he woke up, but what he saw now could only mean that someone had found him and let him sleep in bed.

While Rei was shocked at his current situation, a young woman was watching him who looked like to be in her twenties. She chuckled in delight as she saw the boy's face be amazed at his surroundings.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" The young woman said proudly.

Rei finally woke up from his daze when he heard the beautiful voice of a woman. He quickly looked around and saw the face of what he can call a face of a model. In fact, it was too perfect to be called the face of a model, if he were not transported into an another world then he would surely yell "plastic surgery." Rei was also sure that if she were compared to the models back on earth, then she would surely be in first place!

Even if she's only second, then he was still sure that no one would assume first place!

Rei studied the woman's face further and what he saw next made him shocked. He saw the long ears of the lady in front of him, and it made his jaw drop in amazement. "An elf?" This was Rei's first thought when he saw the elf in front of him, but unknowingly, he said his thoughts out loud!

As if nothing was wrong, the elf merely nodded and sweetly smiled. She gently placed a tray on the bed which had a stand and on it was a bowl of soup.

"Eat the soup. My husband found you in the woods last night. If he didn't let you stay in here, then you could have gotten sick, you know?" With a voice, that was sweet as an angel; the elf told Rei about what happened last night and went out to get a glass of water.

Rei still has a shocked expression on his face as he stared at the bowl in front of him. 'This... Isn't this kidnapping..?' Ideas passed through his head as he wondered if the elf was telling the truth or not. But after thinking that they could just kill him when they saw him in the forest or could tie him with a rope so he can't escape. Rei released a sigh of relief.

'I hope they're good people.'

Rei took the spoon in his hand as if it was perfectly normal but when he was about to scoop the soup using it, a shocked expression once again resurfaced on his face. He stared at the spoon as if he had seen a terrifying monster; question marks hung above his head as he thought about the possibility of another world having a spoon. 'Could there be more people transported into this world?' This was Rei's theory, although the chance of having an Earthling getting transported into the same world as him was mind-boggling he tried to convince himself that it happened to others too.

He was a person who was transported from Earth into this world, who said that other people cannot be transported too? Rei could just ask the elf if she knows about the creator about the spoon... But as he delved deeper into the matter it could be said that all kinds of things might be possible since there is no way that a person like him could understand the underlying system about transporting people into another world.

As he reached the part that there might be someone behind the scenes controlling them like a puppet, Rei quickly shook his head and sighed. 'Reading too many novels will do this to you...' He cleared his mind about the previous matter and quickly paid it no heed as he focused on the soup in front of him. As if nothing had happened, a smile appeared on his face as he scooped a spoonful of soup and ate it.

Various flavors popped in his mouth as his eyes lit up in appreciation. 'This soup is superb! The flavor is just right, and the meat is not overcooked, however...'Unknowingly, Rei started to criticize the food that he was eating. This was the effect of studying in a cooking school since he was a little boy.

Rei's father was a prodigy in cooking and owns a school. Thus, he wanted his son, Rei, to inherit the school. That's why when Rei finished his elementary school, his father had given him a choice if he wanted to continue going to high school and college or just learn cooking from him to inherit the school.

As a child, who doesn't want to impress their father? Therefore, Rei followed his father's dream and started to learn on how to cook from him. Although there were a lot of peers who sneered at his decision and ridiculed him for choosing a decision that will not make him rich. Rei paid it no mind as he studiously followed the ways of cooking from his father.

However, unlike his father, who was a genius in cooking, Rei's talent was somewhat average, as he could not keep up with the speed that his father was teaching him. His father noticed this too, but he was not dismayed in the slightest. He only smiled in front of Rei and said, "Talent helps people achieve their dreams, but hard work my dear child, is what make them succeed."

With that as a catalyst, Rei did not give up. Instead, he strived harder and harder, trying to prove to his Father that he was competent enough to inherit his legacy. He even cut off his relations with other people and focused on only one thing, and that is cooking.

His parents were quite proud seeing their child like that, but when they noticed that their child seemed too focused on cooking they reprimanded him. Rei was shocked when his Father told him to stop cooking for a while. He cried endlessly and threw a childish tantrum to his father saying that he did his best and everything he can.
