The world ended not with a bang, but with a shimmer. Suddenly, everyone had a Class, a shiny new purpose in the zombie-infested ruins. Everyone, that is, except me. I somehow stumbled into the System's backend, bypassing the mundane warrior and mage archetypes for something… tastier. Now, instead of wielding a sword, I’m behind the counter of a food truck, my inventory stocked with infinity ingredients and my skills focused on crafting the perfect zombie-repellent ramen. Customers pay in glowing crystals in each different grade of crystals, in order to upgrade my food truck to leveling up and my only mission is to serve up gourmet meals that somehow heal the afflicted and grant unique buffs. The System flags potential customers, but lately, the requests are getting… personal. A handsome looking stoic guild master whom I saved from starvation is now staring at me like I’m the last meal he’ll ever need, and a powerful mysterious seduction mage. I merely sold a pastry to is proposing marriage all a sudden. This apocalypse wasn't supposed to be some dating sim! System!! I didn't sign up for this kind of thing!!
