BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1012: Celebrations
The spirits of light created bright shapes with their light and colors, the spirits of the wind sang songs to create a beautiful background ambience, and the other spirits brought water, fruits, roots, and vegetables, even the fire spirits began roasting some of the food, they all wanted to help.
It seems like the world itself realized it, or perhaps the entire Realm, I mean. That they suddenly became something else than a temporary existence, that they were now permanent beings. These Spirits also all became more than real now, alongside the many more I created with my Skills the entire Time Realm was shock full of them.
The size? Probably around the same size as two whole continents, and also the sky above. Approximately 40% of the world of Arcadia in the past was replicated in this Dungeon, and now it all became real. It was an insane thing to think about, and as I began cooking a myriad of dishes with the many ingredients I had gathered, I discussed these things with my friends and family.
Ding!
[Delicious!

[You earned 8.500.000 EXP!]
[You earned +85.000 Divine Gourmet Essence.]
I did make a lot of dishes, indeed… The best thing was that the monsters found in the ancient Verdant Continent were now physical and real, they not only granted EXP when slain, but also their bodies too.
Just like any monster defeated by a Player, it was possible to easily dismantle them into their meat, bones, pelt, and other important materials. And then, we decided to try out their meat, the meat of prehistoric beast that lived in the past.
And well, they were pretty delicious!
"Oh, I never thought lion meat would be this tasty!" Rita gasped. "I remember reading somewhere that it was tough and bad… Well, this is another world, so I guess that doesn\'t apply!"
"I think it might have to do with Elayne\'s abilities too, she can cook anything and make it a delicious dish." Mark said, proud of myself. "Dinosaur meat though, it\'s truly something else… Wait, it\'s kind of like wyvern meat now that I think about it."
"I feel a bit stronger after eating some~" Jenny celebrated. "Man, I was so exhausted… Expanding my body to stop like a thousand damned cultists wasn\'t something I thought I would do."
Jenny had helped a lot, she had gone to the other end of the battlefield and expanded her body to her limits, creating a wall that stopped the cultists from helping the other half, she killed a bunch too, reaching max level a while ago.
"Right, her Divine Dishes increase stats permanently, sometimes." Said Lily. "Your food\'s the best, Elayne!"
"Haha, thank you Lily." I smiled. "Let\'s enjoy and then log off, we\'ve been playing for so long, I need my break…"
"Me too." Mark agreed. "Haha, looks like everyone else is enjoying themselves a lot though."
We looked at the rest of the party, Titania with her little self were talking and celebrating, little Titania was eating a lot of food of all types, she particularly loved my pastries, the cookies and cream cheesecake I made with cookies I brought IRL really were loved by her.
Brisingra wasn\'t letting Mercedes go anywhere, stuck to her forever, the two were enjoying the meat and the burgers, while drinking juice. Mercedes was particularly gluttonous, eating more than I thought.
Maybe something about the current transformation made everyone very hungry, perhaps they need the energy now that their bodies are like… permanent?
I am still trying to figure out what they have become though, in appearance and even powers they might be almost 100% their true selves, but at the same time, I could sense a lot of Time Attribute Spiritual Energy from them.
My theory is that the inhabitants of this world, at least anybody non-monster, became something like half-spirits. Because it might be impossible to fully recreate their former selves, the System compensated by turning the rest of their existences into Spirits.
The Administrators did say that this was something that might happen, as although the System had the resources for the full assimilation, it wouldn\'t waste more in recreating everything 100%.
It was a risk worth taking, and it worked, everyone was alive, it didn\'t matter what they became…
Well, it does matter, actually!
Wouldn\'t it be cool if I could make a contract with them now if they\'re like… Half-Spirits or something?
And Time Attribute at that, I don\'t think that\'s an element of spirits I can invoke right now, at all…
Ding!
[The {Cooking Spirits in the World} are all gathering before the feast, they want a piece of it!]
[The {Ancient Chef Of The Golden Mountain} has fully awakened! He has decided to finally begin seeking his new disciple. And you seem to be quite qualified!]
Huh? What\'s this?
The Cooking Spirits of the World… Are they like, a collective consciousness or something? I keep getting this message for some reason.
And then there\'s the Ancient Chef of the Golden Mountain, I do remember hearing a bit of him from Elbedo and the other… traitors.
They said he was some sort of ancient being from the Eastern Continent?
Some sort of chef, martial artist, or something?
I can\'t properly recall what they talked right now, to be honest, but I do remember them addressing it.
Which means this chef existed all the way in the past, and somehow it still alive right now!
How is that even possible?
There\'s a lot of secrets in the Eastern Continent, more than I ever imagined.
Ding!
