The New Player Changed the Dungeon Kitchen

Arata keeps serving monster stew in a dungeon kitchen, while pretending he is not terrified of becoming the kind of man people gave up on. When an old controller appears in his locker, he learns it once belonged to a national champion who vanished twenty years ago. The device reacts in a way no one can explain, and soon Arata is pulled into Bureau tests, hidden cases, and fights that put his name on the line. He can cook, he can read hunters, and he can fix a meal under pressure. What he cannot do yet is face the reason he keeps running from his own reflection. The controller points to an answer buried inside the dungeon, and someone is watching every move he makes.
