He died a baker. He woke up a joke. Now, he's about to show a world of heroes the true power of good bread.
Thirty-four-year-old Matthias Bauer lived for his Stuttgart bakery, right up until the moment a fatal heart attack dropped him on his own kitchen floor. When he wakes up in a fantasy realm governed by a magical System, surrounded by teenagers receiving legendary combat classes like Sword Saint and Flame Mage, Matthias is assigned the lowest tier possible: Innkeeper].
His "reward" is a deed to a dilapidated, abandoned wayside inn on the edge of a monster-infested frontier.
But Matthias has survived broken ovens, missing ingredients, and the morning rush. A ruined building and a few goblins aren't going to stop him. Armed with a stubborn German work ethic and a magnificent antique stone oven, he sets out to do what he does best: clean the kitchen and bake.
When a starving foxkin thief and a wounded swordsman stumble into his establishment, Matthias discovers a hidden mechanic. His meticulously crafted meals don't just taste incredible-they grant powerful System buffs. A simple loaf of Hearth Bread cures fatigue, and a toasted goblin pepper stew provides magical cold resistance.
Soon, his cozy frontier inn is attracting weary adventurers, corrupt tax collectors, and even a starving dungeon heart living beneath the floorboards. In a world obsessed with swords and spells, Matthias is about to prove that the most powerful class isn't the one that takes lives-it's the one that feeds them.
