The kingdom wants his mushrooms. Its enemies want him dead. Evan intends to profit from both.
Once human, now a fungal intelligence commanding an army of Puffcaps, Evan wants a domain powerful enough to keep him alive. His answer to invasion is simple: stronger monsters, better skills, and enemies who can be persuaded to become useful. The ones who refuse may discover exactly what his spores can do inside a living body.
His leveling system gives him the tools to expand. His Mycelial Network lets him put those gains to work across an entire colony. A stronger shield can protect the front line. A new ability can turn an unassuming mushroom into a weapon. And every extension of his network gives him more territory to watch, exploit, and defend.
Aboveground, adventurers are lining up for mushroom companions of their own. Evan has every reason to encourage them. An army people willingly invite into their cities has advantages no siege engine can match.
But growth is drawing attention from powers that a swarm of disposable bodies cannot easily overwhelm.
Deep in the dungeon, a spreading madness is turning monsters against everything around them. Closer to home, someone under Evan's protection is being hunted through her dreams. To keep her alive, he must fight an enemy who can attack without ever entering his territory.
For readers of LitRPG and dark progression fantasy, this installment brings colony expansion, ruthless power growth, and battles fought through claws, blood, and the mind itself.
Evan knows how to make a battlefield feed his empire.
But when he follows his enemy into a nightmare, what else might find its way back?
