MC is the kind of guy who brings his buddies to eat at the place where spice is the chef's life.In the game system it was so spicy they lost health from it. The kind of as*hole all guys need as a friend to keep things interesting.Spoiler
Then for the wider story, turns out the world is ending if things go as expected and MC is skilled but weak as a salsa with no chili in it. So to spice things up he goes into Irish Geas/oath magic that doesnt just punish liars, it rewards the faithful and honest.
And so he promises to save the world and undo whatever bad stuff he comes across. The world also knowing what's up understandably approves of someone trying to save it and it goes from there. No direct powerup but growth boosters applied successfully.
