Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

An arrow whistled through the air, striking the beast in the eye. The force of the arrow was so strong that it pierced deep into the skull, and the Infernal Razorback let out a final, pained grunt before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Seojun blinked in surprise, glancing over his shoulder to see where the arrow had come from.

The Razorback collapsed from the arrow, its life fading away. Seojun lay on the ground, pretending to catch his breath, and thought, Someone interrupted my movie. He turned his head to see who had shot the arrow.

Standing not far away was a woman with long, flowing red hair and bright yellow eyes that seemed to pierce right through him. She was gorgeous, with a perfectly curved figure, wearing a sleek, modern outfit that hugged her body.

Her clothes were made from fine materials, giving her an air of elegance, and she held a golden bow in her hand, which shimmered under the light, hinting at her wealth and status.

[Host, stick to your role. The director is getting angry,] the system warned, breaking Seojun's thoughts.

Seojun shook his head, muttering, "Looks like you're enjoying this, system."

[A bit,]

The woman's gaze stayed fixed on him as she calmly remarked, "Fighting a D-rank Razorback made you that tired? Just how weak are you?"

Seojun let himself fall back to the ground, breathing heavily with his eyes closed. "I take that as a compliment. Phew! I thought we were done for! Thank you for that, Miss," he said, keeping up the act.

The woman clicked her tongue, her footsteps moving away. Seojun opened one eye to see her leaving, then sat up, still acting exhausted.

[What kind of person is your role, Host? How about trying to be a pervert?]

"A pervert? Are you serious, system?" Seojun frowned.

[I just thought... don't you want a harem, Host? Like those in anime?]

Seojun's expression grew more suspicious. "Just what are you watching, system?"

[...]

"Don't tell me you're watching a henta—" he began, but before he could finish, the system interrupted quickly,

[Host, the food will spoil if you don't cook it now!]

Seojun raised an eyebrow. It was clear the system was trying to avoid finishing that conversation.

Seojun decided not to push the system any further and let the topic go as he also don't like that topic. He glanced at Sui, who was trembling slightly while staring at the dead Razorback.

"Don't worry, Sui," he said softly. "We're going to eat well today."

Standing up, he walked over to gather some nearby branches and dry leaves. He found a couple of rocks and struck them together skillfully, creating sparks. After a few tries, the leaves caught fire, and he carefully added more branches to make the fire grow stronger.

Next, Seojun approached the Razorback and began the process of preparing the meat. He worked quickly, peeling off the tough skin with a sharp knife, revealing the fresh meat underneath.

He cut out large pieces, making sure to remove any parts that were too tough or not good for eating. Once he had enough meat, he looked around and spotted a fallen tree nearby. The trunk was cut at just the right height, making it a perfect makeshift table.

He placed the meat on the tree trunk and set up the fire close by. Using some of the thicker branches, he crafted a simple roasting spit and started cooking the meat over the open flame, turning it carefully to make sure it cooked evenly.

The smell of roasting Razorback meat soon filled the air and Seojun's stomach also grumbled.

Seojun chuckled as he turned the meat over the fire. "Looks like my role this time is a professional cook, huh, Sui?" he said with a grin.

The little slime made a curious "Kyuu?" sound, tilting its head to one side.

He glanced around, thinking about what else he could add to make the meal more flavorful. His eyes scanned the forest, searching for anything that could be used as ingredients. After a short walk nearby, he found some useful things:

1. Luminous Herb - A glowing green plant that thrived in the shadows.

2. Crimson Petals - Bright red flowers that shimmered like jewels.

3. Starlight Root - A root that sparkled like stars, known for its earthy flavor.

4. Moonshade Mushrooms - These bioluminescent mushrooms grew in clusters and had a rich, savory taste.

5. Mystic Spice Berries - Small, blue berries that grew in bunches on nearby bushes.

Returning to the fire, he saw Sui looking curious. "Kyuu, What are those Master?" Sui asked, eyeing the handful of magical plants and roots Seojun was carrying.

"These are ingredients," Seojun explained, setting them on the makeshift table.

"In a forest, you can find all sorts of things that make food taste better and give you special benefits if you know where to look. See these glowing leaves? They're Luminous Herbs. They not only add a sweet flavor but also help heal any minor wounds."

He showed Sui the Crimson Petals. "These are called Crimson Petals. They add a spicy kick to our meal, and their vibrant color is a sign of their strength. You have to be careful with how much you use, though; a little goes a long way."

Next, he pointed to the Starlight Root. "This one is Starlight Root. It has a nutty taste when cooked and gives you energy. We can slice it thinly and mix it with the meat."

Sui nodded, absorbing the information as Seojun continued. "These Moonshade Mushrooms are bioluminescent and add a savory depth to the dish. We can chop them up and toss them in while the meat is cooking."

Finally, he held up the Mystic Spice Berries. "And these small blue berries? They'll add a tangy sweetness and help improve our stamina. A great boost after a long day of adventures!"

Seojun quickly prepared the ingredients, chopping up the Luminous Herb and Crimson Petals and slicing the Starlight Root thinly.

He diced the Moonshade Mushrooms and tossed everything into the pot over the fire, letting the warmth bring out all the magical flavors.

Seojun stirred the pot, letting the delicious aroma fill the air.

"These ingredients are similar to some we have on Earth. For example, the Luminous Herb is a lot like onions. It adds sweetness and a bit of crunch. The Crimson Petals remind me of chili flakes, which add a nice kick to the dish. And the Starlight Root is kind of like potatoes—great for adding substance and flavor."

Sui's eyes widened with excitement. "Wow! Kyuu! You know a lot, Master!" It bounced happily, its little body shimmering with enthusiasm.

Seojun chuckled at Sui's reaction. "Hmm, these ingredients also exist in the Abyss, though. They might look different or have different names, but their properties are quite similar. It's funny how some things connect across worlds."

He continued to stir, mixing in the Moonshade Mushrooms and adding the Mystic Spice Berries at the end for that extra tang.

"Cooking is all about improvisation and knowing your ingredients is the key to making a great meal," he said, smiling at Sui.

The pot bubbled away, filling the air with an enticing scent, and Seojun felt a sense of pride in his culinary skills, even in this magical world.

"Once this is done, we'll have a feast to remember" he declared, looking forward to sharing the meal with Sui.
