The empire has walls. Evan has already infected the people guarding them.
Once a lowly mushroom, Evan now commands a living network of spies, soldiers, and monsters. His fungal armies are ready to march south, seize the empire's fortresses, and turn enemy territory into ground he controls down to the roots. While its rulers prepare for a struggle over the throne, he intends to take everything they leave exposed.
Conquest is only the beginning. The people he frees need homes, food, and protection. Holding their loyalty will take more than opening the gates. And the protection he offers comes with fungal threads that some call salvation and others can barely stand to look at.
Fortunately, Evan has a use for almost everything. Enemy corpses yield new skills. Fallen fighters can return in fungal bodies. Even a dragon becomes an opportunity to test how far the system's rules can bend. For a mushroom with enough imagination, a battlefield is a workshop.
But his enemies are learning, too.
Dragons are loose. Imperial powers are probing the secrets of his growing network. And beneath the ocean, a ravenous swarm is evolving faster than Evan expected, swallowing life and building something vast in the dark.
To secure his people's future, he must push his creatures further, arm them with deadlier abilities, and carry the war into waters where his reach is still dangerously thin. Every delay gives the thing below more time to feed.
Only Monsters Rule, Volume 13 of They Wanted a Hero. They Made a Monster, brings LitRPG progression fantasy into a war of empire building, stolen skills, and monstrous evolution, with dark fantasy horror and a vicious sense of humor.
Evan knows how to turn an enemy into an upgrade. What happens when the enemy can do the same?
