And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on. ... more>>

The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

Yet, underneath this “Gemeinplatzer Dream” is a disgusting truth.

To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

This is the first volume of the novel-length adaptation of the John Brown Isekai. <<less

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less

Yoruichi needs a vacation. Its been almost 80 years since she escaped the Soul Society with Kisuke and Tessai. However, she had been complaining about the vacation she wanted so badly a bit too much. Kisuke and Tessai decide to test a prototype Garaganta portal on her, their latest (i.e. Kisuke's) of a series of pranks against her, this time in revenge for the utter annoying complaints she had to regale them with. The portal opens to a deserted tropical island, the perfect place for a cat to kick back, relax, and stew in the vacation she wanted so much. ... more>>

Unbeknownst to any of them, things are about to get a whole lot weirder.

I do not own Bleach or One Piece, nor do I make money off of this.

Hermes is the Greek God of information, but his ambition is to live the life of a lazy deadbeat. His hopes shattered the day his uncle punches Zeus for not having enough snu-snu time. Zeus betrays Hermes by kicking him out of Mount Olympus to do non-consensual free labor for his uncle, who rules the underworld.... more>>

Hermes starts his new life, whom he has his ex to thank, by meeting a grandbrother with stinky feet, bird people, and an unemployed lizardman. When the Morai sends Hermes to guide the soul of a slave about to die at the Agora, a beautiful woman thwarts his plans. The concerned woman sees Hermes speaking to the lifeless body of the slave and calls for her brother's attention.

A youthful, brash man suddenly approaches Hermes and, shortly after accessing the situation, immediately alerts his bodyguards. Hermes wasn't exactly the most famous among his siblings, and explaining his origins inconveniences Hermes since he has places he needs to be. So, of course, there is no choice but to-RUN. Besides, the last thing Hermes wants is a bunch of mortals manhandling his delicate arms to a prison cell.
