Chapter 1

Thank you for accessing.

For those who have come from the book version or the comic adaptation, I would like to provide a brief explanation.

The web version differs from the starting point, with many differences in character names, sentence structure, character perspectives, and information.

Additionally, the comic adaptation is based on the book version.

Therefore, the web version of "Maseki Gourmet" is also consistent with the Kakuyomu version.

※Please note that the original work is the book version, and this is the web version.

Especially regarding the writing style, there may be significant differences as this is my debut work.

For the latest writing style, I would be grateful if you could read the latest chapters or try reading the latest publication on BookWalker.

The basic story remains unchanged, but please read with the understanding that there are many differences.

---

In a place that shone white and endless, where the end could not be seen.

"You just have the choice of spinning the gacha in a place you know or having it spun in a place you don't."

The god said, "It's the same as before, right?"

"Just to be sure, so you mean my previous life was also spun by someone?"

"A different god from me spun it."

"What was the result then?"

"Common, what you might call normal."

So my previous life was destined to be just a bum.

That's why I went to a decent university, got a decent job at a decent company, and worked decently.

Hmm? But I was pretty happy, though.

"Common is considered a good result."

Please don't read my thoughts.

"If you get Rare, you could have become the CEO of a decently successful company in your world, or a sports player with a decently long life."

"Is it that good to get Rare?"

"If you get Ultra Rare, you could have been born as the child of an oil tycoon."

"Wow."

"Since your cause of death was a bit pitiful, I'm giving you a guaranteed Rare gacha, so be grateful."

"My cause of death?"

To be honest, I don't remember.

That's because my memory was erased when I was brought to this place.

From the fact that I still remember general knowledge, I assume that my episodic memory was erased.

Wait, but why did I go to a decent university?

"While you're here, you might remember a little, but don't worry too much about it."

"I see, so it's convenient."

"Gradually, such memories will fade away."

I see, indeed, I can't even remember my name now, or what kind of house I lived in, or what kind of wife I had.

What was my cause of death...?

Since I'm getting a guaranteed Rare, it must have been pretty bad.

"By the way, you didn't have a wife, and you were a virgin your whole life."

"You bastard!!"

"Cause of death... hmm..."

"Is it something hard to say?"

The god hesitates.

Yeah, that makes sense. If I got a Rare, maybe I was tortured in that era.

"Do you remember that you hated bugs?"

"Oh, right, I did."

"There were cockroaches in your house."

"Huh? What happened then?"

Cockroaches? Just bugs.

How could they be related to my cause of death?

"You were making dinner and panicked when a cockroach suddenly appeared."

"...Swallow."

"You fell backward."

"..."

What, that's so ridiculous. Is that really me? My cause of death?

"So my cause of death was... hitting my head?"

"No, the knife you were using... you fell backward and threw the knife up, and it pierced your throat, and you died pretty quickly."

"Ridiculous!"

"You were passionate about cooking, so you were using a heavy chef's knife... It might have been better than suffering."

Is it even possible to have such an embarrassing cause of death?

Well, I did sometimes think about restarting my life.

I was a bit tired of the repetitive days.

"Yes, that's right. But not that cause of death... hahaha!"

The god laughed with a wide mouth. Ah, what a ridiculous way to die...

Let me look forward to my next life. My life is just beginning!

"By the way, you can't be born on the same Earth."

"...Huh?"

"The trade is already over, so your soul has already been erased. The energy generated from that has been returned to the world."

"What are you saying? Does that mean I can't come back to life?"

"No, you will come back to life, but in a different world."

"A different world? Wait, what do you mean by trade?"

"Various forces are needed to maintain the world. Well, that's fine, you will come back to life, so be satisfied with that."

Even though I can't accept the word 'trade'.

But I can come back to life, right? The thought of disappearing completely is so scary that I feel a bit nauseous. Oh, can I be a decently handsome guy in my next life?

"Since it's Rare or higher, your appearance won't be bad."

"Seems like I'll be a winner."

"Well, basically, you'll have higher qualities than an average person. If you have good luck, you might be born into a royal family or a noble family."

"In the end..."

"It's a gacha that includes all of that."

I see, that makes sense.

But it's good to have solid talents from birth.

If I work hard, I should get decent results. I really will be a winner.

"The conversation is going on too long, it seems the time is near."

"Then, it's about time."

"Yes. The beginning of your next destiny."

"So, which gacha?"

"I just called it a gacha for convenience. I don't usually spin gachas... so here it is."

*Thud*

The god took out a regular gacha machine from inside their clothes.

I wonder how such a big thing could come out of that small body. Oh, by the way, the god was a little girl. Yay.

"Here are the tokens."

"Two? Why?"

"Since it's a guaranteed Rare gacha, it's bound to be a 200-yen gacha."

"I don't mind this kind of setup, god."

Alright, it's a 200-yen gacha!

The luxury of putting in two tokens and spinning it. It's unparalleled.

"Wow!! A golden capsule!!"

It's definitely not common.

I must have drawn something amazing, like Ultra or Secret!!

This will make my next life bright. Thank you so much.

"Well, they're all golden capsules, you know."

"You're ruining it!"

"Calm down, why don't you open it and see?"

"Oh, right..."

*Click*, I opened the golden capsule.

Inside was a piece of paper that looked like a lottery ticket.

I opened it to see the result.

"Super Rare!"

"You're lucky..."

"But, god, there are Ultra and Secret, right? Super isn't that special."

"Even in a Rare gacha, Super can mess up the balance, so there are only three in there."

"...But for a gacha of this size..."

Yes, since it's a regular-sized gacha machine, if there are three, the probability isn't that low.

Considering Ultra Rare and Secret, the chances aren't that bad, right?

"It's just a visual gimmick. I put three in a place as big as a soccer field."

"That's so unfair!"

"But it's surprising, isn't it? Well, what does it say?"

Right, I should check the contents of the Super Rare! What could it be? A fate to become one of the richest people in the world? Or maybe a harem... hehe

"..."

"Come on, what does it say?"

"What the hell is this!!"

The words written were nothing I had expected.

Toxin Decomposition EX... What is this?
