An empire has fallen, another blooms in its wake, and one man--who would rather be fishing, thank you very much--has finally accepted his role as its leader. Thanks to overwhelming might, a cadre of violent animals, and a weaponized fish or two, Tropica has wiped Gormona's royal forces from the map. Now at the helm of his own Church, Fischer finally has some time to relax. But life in Tropica is much like fishing from a rocky shore: it's only a matter of time before you hook a snag. It seems chi has returned to the area, the Church of Fischer and the village of Tropica have grown, and at least one of Fischer's animal pals has experienced a breakthrough that defies metaphysical understanding. Furthermore, these developments send out waves of essence, their echoes spanning oceans and reaching distant shores. And unfortunately for everyone involved, they haven't gone unnoticed . . . The fourth volume of the laugh-out-loud LitRPG adventure series--a #1 Rising Star on Royal Road with more than three million views--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook! "I can't think of a single story I'd rather get truck-kun'd (truck-kunned?) into than [that of] the vivid, lush world portrayed in Heretical Fishing, especially if I can hang out with Fischer and his gang." --Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
