Balthazar was just a random giant crab enjoying his life in a fantasy world full of bothersome human adventurers, but then he had to go and accidentally discover the secret of attributes and levels. And also pie. With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day.... more>>

Follow Balthazar as he does everything to find a baker... except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Witness how adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home. And cheer for a crab who makes great new friends by simply buying them.

Book 2 is out now, with new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, fresh off the bakery!

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries? <<less

Get Isekaied, become a hero, and get taxed for all your hard-earned loot?! Death is a lesser punishment than working retail...almost.... more>>

Fiona Swiftheart became a hero shortly arriving on the world of Cepalune. Monsters became fashion trends, treasures got put into museums, dragons were beaten to tears...and then she got a bogus tax bill from the King's son, after his father went on a long-term vacation.

Faced with an impossible situation, Fiona vowed to beat this king's dirty tricks her way: by selling her hard-acquired loot, finding tax loopholes, and keep every single copper she could from going into that greedy Kings' hands. The fastest way to do that, meant opening a store and going into business again.

But the post adventuring life isn't lacking surprises when her new merchant class comes with powers no one has seen before. Thus begins her mad quest to find normalcy, hobbies and friendship in running a magical item shop with her friends--with drama and zany antics every step of the way! At least retail won't be boring...

What’re you buying?!

* A fantasy slice-of-life story.

* Feel-good storytelling, with no ‘save the world’ plot. This is a lived-in world that Fiona is a part of, and doesn’t revolve around her. She is a flawed but relatable person as she grows into her role as a competent businesswoman when confronted with reality, and what it takes to push forward.

* No math, No LitRPG. Besides taxes. And that math hurts.

* Content rating: PG-13. Some swearing, suggestive content, and comedic violence.

Lynn found himself transported to such a bizarre alternate world, becoming an apprentice in a potion shop.

"There's something off about that guy! He never uses anesthesia when performing surgery!"

"That place is a total scam! Even if you go in healthy, they'll diagnose you with a laundry list of illnesses!" But wait a minute, wasn't that shop supposed to be the best potion store within a hundred miles?

"Of course it's the best! Because it's the only shop within a hundred miles!!"

Lynn deeply despised all sorts of slander like this, for he knew he was actually a highly ethical and conscientious doctor. Such baseless rumors and misinformation were truly deplorable.

Lynn raised his chainsaw and looked earnestly at the patient strapped to the operating table.

"Bear with me for a moment, sir. I'm going to remove your appendix."

Dan wasn’t expecting to wake up in a medieval village riddled with disease, poverty, and giant, acid-spitting spiders. One minute, he was in his apartment, avoiding responsibilities like a normal person—the next, he was being shoved into a half-collapsed house and told to deal with the local pest problem.... more>>

No magic. No overpowered abilities. No chosen hero nonsense. Just one skill: Buy & Sell.

At first, it seemed useless. Who needs an overpriced fantasy Amazon store when they’re dirt poor? But when Dan discovers he can sell anything—including dead monsters—his outlook starts to change. <<less
