Blood, Salt and Mana (A Cooking/Alchemist Litrpg) Book 1 Amazon Release 27th June!!!

A Tokyo kitchen claimed his first life. He woke up as hunted prey on a brutal frontier. Armed only with the unregistered class of Mana Chef, Ren Saito finds shelter behind a tavern stove. In a realm where magic is poison, his kitchen is the antidote. Ren survives by pressure-cooking explosive monster meat, binding lethal mana with earthen fats, and turning chaotic ingredients into permanent stat buffs. But hiding won't mask his magical signature from the Church’s zealous auditors forever. To buy his life from the pyre, Ren marches out of the kitchen and into the mud. He must hunt active dungeon zones, harvest lethal predators, and weaponize his violent alchemy before the Inquisition drags him to the flames.  A shadow war is rotting the frontier, and Ren's magic places him squarely in the crosshairs of a waking, world-breaking threat.
