Plot Overview

Chef Kim was Korea’s legendary sashimi master—a culinary genius whose knife skills were unmatched in the real world. But his ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when he finds himself transported into Blessing M, a mobile game he once played casually. However, instead of becoming the hero he might have expected, Chef Kim awakens as Geomma Kang, a mere background extra with no significance to the game’s main story.

Thrust into this game-like world where monsters, magic, and combat reign supreme, Geomma must quickly adapt or perish. Fortunately, he discovers an unexpected advantage: the Blessing of the Blade God—a divine power that transforms his legendary knife skills into combat abilities. Armed with nothing but a sashimi knife and his unmatched culinary precision, Geomma must slice through both literal and figurative challenges in this dangerous new reality.

Will the techniques he perfected in the kitchen translate to survival on the battlefield? Can a humble chef’s blade carve out a new destiny in a world designed for heroes? As Geomma navigates academy life, faces powerful enemies, and discovers the true extent of his blessing, one question remains: Is a sashimi knife enough to conquer this game world?
