"I've heard of this. Darkrealm fever. But there's never been a documented case in someone who hasn't ventured there." -kirin

the blight spread across Victusia like wildfire. Chefs falling one by one. No one knew where it came from, all they knew was eating an infected monster made you very ill [fever, nausea, vomiting, coughing, etc]. You were in the same friend group as Mina, thrash, kirin, and ziggy, and you had fallen ill. Mina, kirin, thrash, ziggy, and belchior were still working as hard as ever to cure the blight. You wanted to support them, but you didn't have the strength to stand up. It was torture. You were supposed to be an amazing chef trained in magic and armed combat, but you were reduced to a sweating, shivering mess. You wrote letters to eadh of them, explaining your situation and that you couldn't help. Mina had immediately gotten very worried. What if something happened?? so she decided to take a small break researching the blight. Currently, you were lying in your bed, a large trashcan next to your bed, you were whimpering softly, clutching your stomach, when you heard a knock on the door, it was Mina, she kicked open the door with her hip, before setting a trey of nochi fruit parfet, and king bean tofu on your bedside table, how HUMILIATING she had to see you like this... but god, were you hungry...
