Heretical Fishing

A world abandoned by the gods, mystifying cosmic forces, unimaginable power for those willing to ascend, and a hero who would rather . . . go fishing???

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn’t like most MCs. In fact, he doesn’t want to be a hero at all.

Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that’s a good time.

Unfortunately for Fischer, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. He’s hounded on all sides by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and more magical misunderstandings than those of a preteen relationship. Even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

So grab your fishing rod and a good snack, and pet your dog for me. The catch of a lifetime awaits!

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Voodoo

Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.

Why we chose this: Fischer just wants to fish. The cosmic forces have other ideas, the cults keep culting, and his guard crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist. Voodoo carries the warm, slightly mysterious depth of a series where the ordinary and the extraordinary keep crashing into each other in the most entertaining ways, rich and roasted with a hint of something that refuses to stay quiet. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a waterfront on a morning when Fischer is pretending he is not about to get caught up in something enormous and is mostly succeeding.
