His Soul is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai by CabbagePreacher

Summary
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.
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.
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?
What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.

Summary
Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.
Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.
But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.

or, what do you do when these secrets come to light-and are found out by the person you least wanted to know?

Summary
“Someone’s desperate,” Wriothesley goaded, and then the hand that was on his chest was suddenly on his neck, and he was blessedly given enough time to take a breath before Kaeya’s cold fingers tightened around him.
“Someone’s talkative,” Kaeya said with a wicked grin.

Summary
“When he took you for the first time, did it hurt?” A hand runs soothingly across his hip, his face on fire as he tries to keep himself leaning further into the touch. Dan Feng buries his face into the crook of Dan Heng’s neck as he continues, “Did you want it to? Did you want him to leave his marks on you?”
“I don’t—” Dan Heng jolts as he feels the texture of cool scales circle around one of his splayed out legs.
“Heng-er should be more honest with himself.”
