<p>They hung him for a traitor, themselves a traitorous crew,But his soul is marching on.</p> <p>Two novelettes featuring John Brown marching on to another world.</p> <p>Fall of the Slave Harem (releasing this Sunday, 05.02.2023) & End of the Slave Empire (novelette) Genre: High Fantasy</p> <p>And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deed they mean to do,For his soul is marching on.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Yet, underneath this "Gemeinplatzer Dream" is a disgusting truth.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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?</p> <p>What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he'll finish what he started.</p> <p>Total Nekonomic CollapseGenre: Contemporary</p> <p>The catgirls have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win.WORKING CATS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!</p> <p>Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes, humans, and bipedal, humanoid cats. Known as the "cat paradise", the nation boasts an impressive population of around nine million domestic catfolk with even more unaccounted-for strays. The "nekonomy" of Japan is the largest in the world; many would assume that such a large economy would trickle down to bring prosperity to the catfolk.</p> <p>Prosperity for the common cat is nothing but a dream in a catpitalist system rife with fat-cats and nekonomic exploitation.</p> <p>Cats, those that are "domestic" at least, are second-class citizens who can only freely travel with government-issued certification in the form of a bell around their neck. Those who don't have a family are less than second-class citizens; strays (which compromise a majority of the cat population) are forced into workhouses and exploited as cheap labor. Those who cannot work in a profitable manner are kicked out of the workhouses and left to die on the harsh streets.</p> <p>Despite these abysmal conditions, most people pay no mind to the horrors of the nekonomy. Many go about their day, enjoying cheap products manufactured from the blood and sweat of the catfolk.</p> <p>Who do mind are the exploited catfolk themselves; a specter is haunting Japan – the specter of total nekonomic collapse, aided by another specter from a century past.</p> <p>This story (End of the Slave Empire) was meant to be a more fast-paced, silly short story, written while I took a break from my main project, The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe. Yet, I have put in as much care as anything I produce into this work.</p> <p>I plan on updating End of the Slave Empire and making it into a full novel-length John Brown Isekai in the future.</p>
