Balthazar refuses to leave his pond in pursuit of the perfect baker, yet fortune—and corpses—keep finding him anyway. Watch as a shrewd crustacean builds an empire of friendships through commerce, all while the adventurers around him seem determined to meet their doom. A tale where staying put proves far more profitable than exploring dangerous lands. Slice-of-life fantasy wrapped in action-packed comedy. Book 2 is live with fresh chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday straight from the oven. What awaits you: - Zero harems unless you count mountains of gold coins. - Relentless humor that refuses to take itself seriously. - An OP protagonist whose only superpower is outrageous pricing. - A streamlined system even a crustacean can master, yet somehow conveniently intricate when the plot demands it. - Adventurers depicted as hilariously incompetent decision-makers. - Enough pastries to make your mouth water.
