Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Glowing Handsome Man

The reward appeared in her hand.

It emanated a warm, alluring Aura, as if capable of stirring the deepest desires of one’s heart.

[Desire Candy]

[Effect: Eating this candy will stimulate the faint power of wishes contained within, attempting to grant one of the user’s desires.]

[Note: The Desire Candy has a ninety-nine percent chance of failure and a one percent chance of success. Success would be a miracle.]

"A one percent success rate..."

Seraphina Sullivan’s lip twitched as she read the candy’s description.

When she saw that it could grant wishes, Seraphina had been excited.

But then she saw the success rate and was reminded of her "bandit chief" constitution.

’These odds are worse than a gacha game.’

Regardless, it was the reward for completing the first quest and the first "local specialty" she had obtained in this dream dungeon.

She carefully put the [Desire Candy] away, not using it immediately.

An item that gambled on such low odds might be useful for a desperate play at a critical moment.

"Alright, everyone, it’s time to get to your posts."

A frog guard who looked like a squad leader hopped over, urging them on in a booming, muffled voice, "The banquet is about to start, and we’re short on time! Follow me!"

Seraphina Sullivan, Ironhide, Clayton Quinn, and Joy Hughes exchanged a look, seeing the gravity and determination in each other’s eyes.

The first quest was just the beginning. The real challenges—preparing the banquet and dealing with the impending "Nightmare Corps"—were still to come.

They followed their respective guides toward different areas of the Fantasy Castle.

Thus began their "work" careers in the "Divine Kingdom of Sweet Dreams."

Seraphina followed a "little guide person" wearing a ridiculous chef’s hat.

They passed through winding, increasingly lavishly decorated corridors inside the castle.

Finally, they arrived at a vast area saturated with an even richer and more complex sweet fragrance.

The banquet’s back kitchen.

Or more specifically, the dessert preparation area.

The place was like a baking exposition for fantasy creatures.

As far as the eye could see, all sorts of "chefs" were bustling about.

There was a giant, over three meters tall, with gem-blue skin and knotted muscles, yet it was using its enormous hands with incredible dexterity.

The giant was currently holding a rolling pin as transparent as ice crystal, working a "cloud dough" larger than a tabletop.

There was a "butterfly woman" with the upper body of an elegant noble lady and the lower body of colorful butterfly wings and an insect’s abdomen.

She was currently using her proboscis to draw nectar from a sweet-smelling flower.

She then precisely injected it into a row of small "macarons."

There were also "Slime" flavorists floating in the air, their jelly-like bodies wobbling as they constantly secreted different colored syrups.

There were even a few fluffy "squirrel" chefs in small aprons, using their tails to hold whisks and vigorously beat ingredients in a huge silver bowl.

The peculiarity of the races and the variety of their forms were a real eye-opener for Seraphina.

It was a bizarre and motley collection of creatures.

It was as if creatures from every fairytale and myth imaginable had been gathered in this one kitchen.

’What on earth do the king and Princess of the Peach Kingdom... look like?’

A strong sense of curiosity rose in Seraphina’s heart.

’Are they like the kings and princesses from traditional fairytales?’

’Or something more... unexpected?’

After all, the butler was a spider-person and the guards were frog-people.

"You’re the new Pastry Chef?"

Just as Seraphina was covertly observing the strange sights around her,

a clear, pleasant male voice, one that seemed to have a metallic quality and an ethereal echo, sounded from behind her.

Seraphina turned at the sound.

And then, she froze.

his deep eyes were like a night sky filled with a sea of stars. 𝚏𝐫𝙚𝓮𝗐𝑒𝓫𝗻𝒐𝓿𝖊𝕝.𝒸𝓸𝙢
