Book 1 is published in ebook, paperback, and audiobook When life gives you slimes, open a cafe. After waking up in a dungeon, Hazel wasn’t about to grab a sword and start fighting. Instead, she picked up a sandwich, because who needs weapons when you’ve got food? That choice glitched the system, giving her a brand-new class: Culinary Mage. Now, Hazel’s baking her way through the dungeon, making friends with slimes, and cooking up a storm instead of grinding monsters. XP from cooking? Check. A quest to escape the dungeon by reaching floor 100? Double check.A cafe full of adorable slimes who evolve by eating good food? Triple check. As Hazel’s cafe grows and her dishes become legendary, she starts to wonder if defeating the boss is really the key to her freedom—or if there’s more to this dungeon than meets the eye. What to Expect *Cozy fantasy, which means there will be some slower moments and no on-page monster kills. I'm aiming for a warm fuzzy feeling as you read. *A slow-burn romance as a secondary plot. This is not a harem. *Adorable slimes and a whole lot of baking. *Art whenever I reveal a new slime. *Updates once a week
