Episode 11: "Wait... What Did I Just Unlock?!"

Previously…

Kulastog somehow defeated the Bloodthirsty Dire Wolf. 🎉

🔥 LEVEL UP! 🔥

🏹 New Skill Unlocked: Advanced Archery!

And then… a mysterious golden light appeared!

Now…

A deep voice echoed as the golden light entered Kulastog's body.

🔥 "You have defeated the Guardian of the Forest… You are now worthy." 🔥

Kulastog: "Worthy of WHAT?!"

Suddenly—

💥 FLASH! 💥

A powerful surge of energy ran through his entire body.

Kulastog: "AAAAAHHH! IT FEELS LIKE I ATE TOO MUCH SPICY FOOD!"

Rei: "Why does everything with you sound painful and dumb?"

Kulastog collapsed to his knees, trembling. His entire body glowed with golden energy.

Then… BOOM! 💥

A wave of energy exploded outward, shaking the entire forest! 🌲🔥

Rei: "OKAY, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

Kulastog slowly stood up…

He clenched his fists.

🔥 Something was different. 🔥

New Power…?

Kulastog examined his hands. He could feel the energy inside him.

Kulastog: "Okay, okay… this is it! My first real mystical power!"

🔥 He focused. The golden energy swirled around him.

Kulastog: "Alright, time to unleash my ultimate ability!"

He extended his hands dramatically—

💥 FLASH! 💥

Something appeared in his hands.

🔥 Kulastog’s first mystical power… 🔥

✨ [???] ✨

Kulastog: "THIS IS IT! MY DESTINY!"

Rei squinted at what appeared in his hands.

Rei: "...Is that a... frying pan?"

Kulastog: "WHAT?!"

🥄 Kulastog has unlocked: MYSTICAL COOKING?! 🍳

Kulastog stared at the glowing frying pan in disbelief.

Kulastog: "WHY. IS. THIS. A. THING?!"

Rei: "PFFT—HAHAHAHAHA! THE LEGENDARY POWER OF… COOKING?!"

Testing The Skill (…It's Actually OP?!)

Kulastog, still in denial, gritted his teeth.

Kulastog: "No. No way. This can't be it. There has to be something ELSE!"

He focused again, gripping the mystical frying pan.

🔥 Suddenly—golden fire appeared beneath it!

A system message popped up:

✨ [Skill Activated: Divine Cooking Flame] ✨

Kulastog: "Wait… this fire… it feels powerful?"

Rei: "Okay, but what does it DO?"

Kulastog: "Only one way to find out!"

He grabbed some random ingredients from his bag.

🌿 Mushrooms

🥩 Wolf Meat (from the boss fight)

🍃 Mystical Herbs (??? where did he even get these???)

🔥 WHOOSH! The golden fire intensified.

Kulastog cooked like a man possessed. The smell was… INSANELY GOOD.

Rei: "Holy crap, that smells better than anything I’ve ever eaten."

Kulastog finished cooking and held up the golden-glowing dish.

✨ [Divine Wolf Steak] Created! ✨

Rei: "Wait, why is it glowing?!"

Kulastog: "I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT I’M EATING IT!"

Moment of Truth

Kulastog took a bite.

💥 FLASH! 💥

🔥 SURGE OF POWER! 🔥

🟢 LEVEL UP! (LEVEL 35!)

Kulastog: "…WHAT THE HELL?!"

Rei: "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT—ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU CAN GAIN LEVELS… BY EATING?!"

Kulastog: "HOLY CRAP, I’M CHEATING THE SYSTEM!"

Rei: "NO, YOU’RE A DAMN FOODIE WITH HAX!"

Kulastog: "THIS IS THE BEST POWER EVER!!!"

Episode 12: "Time to Leave... But Why Is The Forest Mad?!"

Previously…

Kulastog defeated the Bloodthirsty Dire Wolf, absorbed its power, and unlocked…

🔥 MYSTICAL COOKING?! 🍳

Now, as he and Rei prepare to leave the forest… something awakens.

🌲 The entire forest trembles. 🌲

The Forest is... ANGRY?!

Kulastog: "Alright, time to move on! What’s the next adventure, my good friend Rei?"

Rei: "Step one: Get the hell out of this cursed forest."

🌳 "LEAVING…? AFTER YOU HAVE EATEN MY GUARDIAN?!" 🌳

Kulastog: "…Huh?"

💥 RUMBLE! 💥

🔥 The ground split open! Roots shot out like whips!

Rei: "Oh, for fu—"

🌲 The trees moved, shifting like living creatures!

Kulastog: "Wait, WAIT, WAIT! Did that TREE just TALK?!"

🌳 "YOU HAVE DEVOURED THE FOREST’S PROTECTOR. NOW YOU WILL PAY!" 🌳

🔥 WHOOSH! A GIANT TREE MONSTER ROSE FROM THE EARTH!

🌲 ELDERWOOD TITAN: ANCESTRAL GUARDIAN OF THE FOREST 🌲

Rei: "BRO. BRO. THIS WASN’T IN THE PLAN."

Kulastog: "WE NEVER HAVE A PLAN!"

🔥 A massive root swung down at them!

💥 BOOOOOM!

Kulastog and Rei barely dodged.

Kulastog: "HOLY CRAP, THAT COULD’VE CRUSHED US!"

Rei: "No kidding! What's the plan?!"

Kulastog: "Uhh… RUN?!"

Rei: "No way! We already beat a boss, I'm not running from a tree!"

🌳 "YOU CANNOT ESCAPE. YOU WILL PAY IN BLOOD." 🌳

Kulastog: "CAN I PAY IN FOOD INSTEAD?!"

Battle Begins – Against a Freaking Tree

🔥 The Elderwood Titan swung again!

💥 BOOOOM! The impact shattered the ground!

Rei: "Okay, fine! Let’s fight!"

Kulastog grabbed his bow.

🏹 He fired an arrow—direct hit to the Titan’s eye!

🔥 CRACK! The tree groaned in pain!

Rei: "It worked! Keep shooting!"

Kulastog fired another arrow! But—

🌳 "YOU CANNOT HARM ME." 🌳

💥 The Titan absorbed the arrow into its bark!

Kulastog: "…Well. That’s cheating."

🔥 WHOOSH! A root wrapped around Kulastog's leg!

💥 SMASH! He got slammed into a tree!

Kulastog: "OW! My SPINE!"

Rei: "BRO, DO SOMETHING!"

Kulastog struggled. He needed a plan—FAST.

The Dumbest Plan Ever

Kulastog: "Alright, alright. If arrows won’t work… then how about THIS?!"

🔥 WHOOSH! He summoned his mystical frying pan!

Rei: "YOU THINK COOKING WILL HELP?!"

Kulastog: "BRO, TRUST ME!"

🌳 "YOU MOCK ME WITH YOUR UTENSILS?!" 🌳

Kulastog grinned.

🔥 He ignited the pan with golden flames.

🌲 The Elderwood Titan paused.

🌳 "…Wait. Is that… COOKING FIRE?" 🌳

🔥 WHOOSH! The fire spread across the battlefield.

Kulastog: "IF I CAN'T BEAT YOU… I'LL COOK YOU!"

Cooking vs. An Ancient Guardian?!

🔥 Kulastog tossed ingredients into the pan.

🌲 The trees trembled as the smell of food filled the air.

🌳 "…WHAT IS THIS AROMA?" 🌳

Rei: "Wait, what’s happening?!"

Kulastog: "Every monster so far has been weak to my cooking. What if this tree is the same?!"

🔥 WHOOSH! The scent grew stronger.

🌲 The Elderwood Titan shuddered.

🌳 "THIS… SMELLS… AMAZING." 🌳

💥 CRACK! The Titan stumbled.

🔥 Kulastog finished cooking and held up the dish.

✨ [Divine Woodfire Roast] Created! ✨

Kulastog: "HEY, BIG GUY! YOU WANNA BITE?!"

🌳 "…YES." 🌳

The Most Ridiculous Victory

🔥 The Titan reached out. It took the food… and ATE IT.

💥 FLASH!

🌳 "…I AM… SATISFIED." 🌳

💥 BOOOOOOM! The Titan CRUMBLED into golden light!

Rei: "…DID YOU JUST BEAT A MONSTER WITH FOOD? AGAIN?!"
