Hermes Trismegistus Goes Fishing

Hermes Trismegistus, the three-time great philosopher, alchemist, and metaphysical know-it-all, wants nothing more than to go fishing in the infinite expanse of the multiverse, where gods quarrel, mortals attain enlightenment with annoying regularity, and alternate realities bleed into one another like spilled coffee. The universe, unfortunately, has different ideas. Hermes has become tired of cosmic significance after spending millennia authoring treatises, discovering the secrets of existence, and witnessing another mortal finish their Magnum Opus (yawn). The only passion he had left? fishing at the Nexus Waters, a lake that represents other worlds, unrealized potential, and sometimes spews out cosmic debris in the center of all realities. The Nexus is unpredictable, chaotic, and unnervingly full of deep philosophical insights—but for Hermes, it’s a retreat from the endless requests for divine wisdom and the bureaucratic gods who insist on dragging him into their petty squabbles. From talking catfish with delusions of grandeur to ancient relics offering unlimited power, Hermes is constantly interrupted in his quest for a peaceful day by the lake. He's plagued by flashbacks of memories he'd prefer to forget throughout this time, particularly those triggered by the rain that isn't rain. But despite the demands of the multiverse, Hermes is adamant about sticking to the basic joys of fishing—no divine interventions, no cosmic revelations, just the ridiculous serenity of putting a line into a lake that has the potential to swallow reality whole. Along the way, he’ll knock out an angel or two, erase some memories, and toss powerful, reality-bending gear into the lake, all in a day’s work for a philosopher who’s seen it all—and is utterly unimpressed by most of it. In Hermes Trismegistus Goes Fishing, the thrice-great sage of myth and legend isn’t on a quest for enlightenment. He’s just trying to be left alone. But in a multiverse where nothing stays normal for long, even fishing becomes an adventure in existential absurdity. A dry, witty slice-of-life fantasy that pokes fun at the grandiosity of cosmic wisdom, metaphysical drama, and the burdens of immortality, this novel blends deadpan humor, snarky dialogue, and moments of reluctant philosophical reflection—all while Hermes contemplates whether the universe is testing him or just being plain rude.
