When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs — 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 within scritching distance is more his speed. Unfortunately, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. He's hounded on all sides by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and magical misunderstandings — and even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.
