    <span style="font-weight:400">These words always came out whenever he met with his parents. They were the reason why he loved cooking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis was a Chinese-Japanese American. He had always watched his mother cook, and his eyes sparkled in amazement. Although, it was nothingpared to how his mother looked. Her eyes were aze, full of passion as she cooked. That passion was passed down to Luis.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His mother was the spark for his love of cooking. His father was the one who made that spark burn even brighter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His father was a businessman. He brought Luis all over the world when he had work. They would go to restaurants, trying all the dishes there. Luis couldn’t believe how delicious it was. That was why he wanted to try and cook!


    <span style="font-weight:400">When he cooked for his dad and mom for the first time,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Luis? Is your dream to be a chef?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm, Mmhmm!” Luis nodded his head. That caused his parents tough. His father told him,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then be the best chef in the world!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah! I will make the best food so I can make you smile every day!” That was Luis’s goal.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Those days were something he could never forget. However, there was another day he couldn’t forget. His parents went on a business trip. A once pleasant trip had be a nightmare. It was a regr day for Luis when he heard about his parent’s death.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis’s happy life was shattered like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Yet, he couldn’t forget about it. That promise he made with his parents that day. The promise to be the best chef in the world. And that was what he became.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis continued to talk a bit more about his days. After a while, he stared at his watch, “Oh, look at the time. I have to return to work.” He got up from the ground,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t worry about anything, Dad. I won’t have a swell head after earning this medal.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I will eat well and sleep well.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis could imagine the two nagging him about being safe and not being cocky. A small chuckle came from his lips as he walked away.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As he drove down from the mountain,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?!” There was a deer on the road! Luis quickly swiveled, trying not to hit it. In that split second, he had forgotten where he was! Luis’s car went flying off the road!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis tried his best to brace for impact, but he cked out from all the violent shaking. It was only a few minutes before Luis woke up. From how his vision was flipped upside-down, he realized the car was flipped over.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ngh,” He tried to move his body, but he felt nothing. He couldn’t feel his body. ncing around, he remembered where he was; a deserted mountain.


    <span style="font-weight:400">No one was going toe and save him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His blood slowly dripped from his body. A few minutes was enough time as Luis’s eyes went cold.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Where am I?” Luis blinked a few times as he looked around. White. There was only white around him. He looked down at his body, which was uninjured.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This was a surprise.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was supposed to be in his car and dead. As he thought about where he was, Luis turned around to see he wasn’t alone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was another person.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, what are you doing?” The first question that should havee out of Luis’s mouth was to ask who this person was. But he couldn’t ask that. What this person was doing was inconceivable.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This person was on his knees, bowing his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m so sorry!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">The person screamed out. Luis quickly waved his hand, “Please don’t apologize. I don’t even know why you need to do this.” He was so bewildered. Why was this man apologizing to him?


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Please get up first.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Okay.” The person got up, and once Luis saw his face, he was shocked by his appearance. So handsome! Crystal white hair like snow. His eyes shined a yellowish-green like a pair of jewels.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was the definition of what a handsome man should look like.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you god?” Luis couldn’t help but ask.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“How did you know?!” The man blinked; surprised Luis would guess correctly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You’re beautiful, wearing something unordinary, and I’m in a white space. If you aren’t, then I’m a monkey.” Luis listed off. That caused the guy to cough in embarrassment.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But then he said with a smile, “I should introduce myself! I’m the god of creation, Kreye!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh.” It confirmed Luis’s thought, “So, I’m dead, right, Mr. Kreye?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yes.” Again, Kreye mmed his head onto the ground, “I’m so sorry! It was a mistake on my part!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I was the deer.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You weren’t supposed to die today. But when I arrived in your world, I was on the road. I didn’t realize a person would be there!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” Luis went silent for a moment, “I see. Please raise your head.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?” An indescribable expression appeared on Kreye’s face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What’s wrong?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I thought you would be angrier. I thought you would grab me by the shoulders, shouting, “Why did you kill me!” or something along the lines.” Kreye was even ready to get hit in the face because of his mistake.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s okay. I’ve epted it.” Luis never had the intention of punching or hitting Kreye. However, a thought came to his mind, “Wait, can you send me back?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then there’s no point in getting angry about it.” Even if Luis got angry, there was no point. He was dead, and Kreye couldn’t do anything about it. Getting angry would be a waste of energy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“But don’t you have any regrets?” Kreye asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis shook his head, “I have no regrets. I’ve done all I wanted in my life. I worked hard.” After his parent’s death, he understood life was short. That was why he prepared a will early on in his life.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His money would be donated to orphanages, while his restaurants would be handed down to his students. He knew they would handle his restaurants with the utmost perfection.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis had absolute faith in them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve done everything I wanted. That’s why I don’t have any regrets.” Luis smiled. It was a fulfilling life. He helped many people and achieved his dream.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” Kreye had nothing to say. Luis asked, “Umm. Mr. Kreye.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Please call me Kreye.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Okay.” Luis nodded, “What’s going to happen to me?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m dead now. Am I going to reincarnate into a different person? Or is there an afterlife?” He was unsure what was going to happen to him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh.” Kreye realized as he exined, “Usually, you would have been judged by the number of good and bad deeds you’ve done in this life. That decides whether you reincarnate or have your soul destroyed.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Usually?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kreye nodded, “That’s because I made a mistake. You would have gone through the normal process. But I discussed it with your goddess and asked if you could reincarnate into my world.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Your world?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kreye exined, “There are multiple worlds. I wanted to reincarnate you into mine. As an added bonus, I will let you keep your memories. I will also give you some interesting benefits.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“There’s no need for you to do this.” There was no need for Kreye to do this. He was a god.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kreye smiled, “I’ve seen your record. You’re a kind soul that shouldn’t have been killed. That’s why I want to reincarnate you into my world.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I see.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Also, if you don’t want to. I will ept your answer. Your goddess will reincarnate you again.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm.” Luis thought about it. But then he asked, “Can I ask what your world is?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“My world would be considered a fantasy world to Earth. It’s filled with fantasy creatures, magic, and nobles.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I see.” Luis nodded, “Alright, I want to be reincarnated into your world!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Really?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm.” Luis would be lying if he said he wasn’t interested. A fantasy world. What kinds of dishes would he create if he went there?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kreye’s face brightened as he pped his hands, “Thank you so much! I will reincarnate you into a great family. Also, I want to mention one thing. I will be fusing your soul and the child’s soul together. That would cause you to regress a bit.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wait. Will I not remember this?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kreye shook his head, “No. You will remember all of this. But some things will regress.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Understood.” Kreye moved his hands in front of Luis. Luis’s body glowed as it slowly vanished.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Good luck, and have a great life!” Kreye shouted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Luis nodded, “See youter, Kreye! !”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Once Luis disappeared, Kreye sighed deeply, “Thank goodness!”
