Heretical Fishing: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself

Fischer wakes in a world abandoned by the gods, where cosmic forces grant unimaginable power to those who ascend. The broken System offers him the usual path: grow stronger, claim glory, become a hero. But Fischer has no interest in any of it. After a life chasing fame and fortune, he’d rather perfect forbidden fishing techniques and spoil every animal he meets. His peaceful plans unravel when inept cults, scheming nobles, and magical misunderstandings drag him into chaos. Even his loyal pet crab starts shooting energy blades like a battle-hardened warrior. The world demands a hero, but Fischer just wants to cast his line in peace—if only the universe would stop yanking him back into the fray.
