2025-04-03 00:55:05Chapter 1: I'm A Mushroom
Yuno experienced confusion and dizziness when he regained consciousness while his mind operated at a sluggish pace through a heavy, fog-like state. His mind operated like a person awakening from deep sleep, but he sensed something unnatural about this experience.
"Where… am I?"
His final memory involved the intense headlights' glare and tire screeching that happened before he witnessed a massive truck speeding toward him in absolute terror. His body remained motionless while his heart blasted like a war drum inside his chest.
The situation denied him both escape possibilities and any chance to respond. Just the overwhelming dread of his impending demise.
Then.
Nothing.
No pain. No impact. No final moments of agony.
Just… darkness.
And now, here he was.
But where was here?
He breathed in an intense mixture of damp soil and decaying leaves together with fresh moss, which filled the surrounding air. The ground seemed to welcome him with its warm touch in this unfamiliar place.
The surrounding atmosphere carried gentle whispers that floated through the air. These whispers barely reached an audible level, yet their disturbing, unnatural quality could still be heard. A peculiar squelching sound emerged from the wet and slimy substance that shifted across the ground.
Yuno’s eyes adjusted to the dim environment, which revealed his surroundings.
And then, he saw them.
Giant snails.
The enormous creatures glimmered under dim light as their transparent, slimy skin showed the environment through a glass-like surface. With their elongated antennae, the creatures performed erratic movements to detect everything in their environment.
Each snail surpassed his size by at least double. The creatures slid along the wet ground using their slippery underbellies, which left behind thick, shiny mucus trails that were at least two times larger than his body.
Yuno’s body tensed instinctively. His survival demanded that he retreat from the scene and start running.
But.
His body wouldn’t move.
A sudden bolt of panic struck his mind.
"Why can’t I move?!"
He tried again. His entire mental strength concentrated on moving his arms and legs and any other part of his body.
Nothing.
His breathing grew faster, although he remained uncertain about his actual breathing state. Something was wrong.
His body didn’t feel right.
It felt… compact.
Almost as if.
A tiny puddle shimmered next to him while its calm surface showed the world above it.
Yuno’s eyes met his reflection in the mirror.
A wave of terror descended upon him.
A round, stubby cap. A thick, pale stalk extended deep into the earth for stability.
No arms. No legs.
No human features at all.
Just a mushroom.
Terror filled every part of Yuno without making a sound.
"NO! No, no, no! This isn’t real! This CAN’T be real!"
The shaking motion of his cap seemed to echo his unsettled state.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Then.
A mechanical voice suddenly spoke within his mind.
Brave Mainland greets you as its Chosen One through this system message.
The voice spoke with complete detachment while maintaining an authoritative tone that had delivered these words many times before, showing no concern for the listener.
The system has given you a chance to redesign the course of destiny. Your mission is to stop Demon Lord Golem from returning.
Yuno’s thoughts spiraled into chaos.
"Wait, what?! A mission?! A chosen one?!" The voice delivered these words in a detached and remorseless tone while using strange RPG-like terminology.
The reborn existence of his character now found itself within a world that functioned through game mechanics.
[World information is available to you.]
A piece of his being demanded him to dismiss it all and deny the madness. The person sought to disregard this insanity while praying for this to be only a terrifying dream.
But deep down, he knew.
This wasn’t a dream.
"...Yes," he muttered, his voice sounding strange—not spoken through a mouth, but vibrating through his entire form, as if his very essence carried the words.
A sudden influx of knowledge entered his mind.
The land of Brave Mainland used to be inhabited by humans and monsters who maintained an unstable power equilibrium.
The harmony between these two groups collapsed because of betrayal.
Demon Lord Golem emerged as a destructive entity whose power came close to obliterating all civilization.
The land experienced a devastating war that drove both humans and monsters to near annihilation.
→ His defeat at the hands of legendary heroes.
→ And the looming prophecy of his return.
The information overwhelmed Yuno so much that his cap started shaking uncontrollably.
"This… this feels like the plot of a game."
The deep fear within him caused his stomach to twist.
My situation becomes hopeless because stopping Golem stands as the only path to return home.
Because he was a mushroom.
He lacked all physical capabilities, including weapons, strength, and arms.
What was he supposed to do?!
A helpless thought rose from his consciousness.
"Wait!" he blurted out. "Preventing Golem from returning back to my world should allow me to return home."
[Affirmative.]
A small spark of optimism appeared in his mind.
But it was immediately extinguished.
[Your first trial begins now.]
A loud ringing tone entered his ears.
[Mission: Survive for 60 minutes.]
→ Reward: Choose one, Body Toughness or Limbs
Yuno froze.
"Survive?! Why would I need to—"
Then.
A fresh alert appeared in front of his eyes.
[Warning: They are coming.]
His small body shook violently with one shivering movement.
Reality itself seemed to tear apart while a distortion formed behind him in the air.
The portal emitted powerful energy waves through a spinning vortex that illuminated the space like an enormous open wound. The ground displayed unnatural shadows that extended from side to side while twisting in disturbing ways.
The portal released an ominous feeling into the room.
A figure was about to emerge through the portal.
The countdown continued.
00:59
00:58
00:57
Through the portal, Yuno watched with terror gripping his entire body.
"What the hell is about to come out of there?!"

Chapter 82: The Nosebleed Awakening - the endYuno blinked twice. Then he blinked a third time, because what he was seeing simply could not be true. He rubbed his eyes with both hands, and when that didn't work, he tilted his head side to side, squinting as if trying to focus on a distant object that refused to come into focus. There were not one, but two pigs standing in front of him. At least, that was what his brain told him, though his instincts were screaming otherwise. One of the figures was familiar, that much was certain. The round pink snout, the beady little eyes, the adorable ears that always twitched whenever she got excited—yes, that was Piggy, no doubt about it. But the other figure—"What in the name of mushroom spores am I looking at?" Yuno muttered, taking a cautious step forward.He turned his head over his shoulder for a better angle and tried calling out, "Piggy?"The piglet—or what had once been Piggy—froze immediately, as if struck by lightning.

Chapter 81: The Chrysanthemum Bloom and the Warrior RebirthThe moment Yuno’s body could no longer contain the swelling power, all the energy crammed inside his trembling, overburdened chrysanthemum surged outward in a blinding, uncontrollable explosion. There was no warning left, no time to control it. His body simply convulsed as wave after wave of untamed power burst from a single, tortured point.The air trembled around him as this enormous energy escaped through his rear, rippling through space like a cosmic shockwave. Yuno could only scream with his mouth wide open. His voice cracked and rang out like a broken flute, filled with both agony and triumph. He had never felt anything like this before. Pain and power wrestled for dominance as the torrent of green light from his behind shot straight into the sky like a pillar of emerald fire.The night sky above the village lit up as though a second sun had arrived—one birthed from the nether regions of a mushroom gone mad. The radiant
Chapter 80: yuno
Chapter 80: yunoYuno liked this kind of challenge more than he liked mushroom stew. With his stubby fists clenched tightly at his sides and his short legs braced apart like a warrior preparing for a duel, he locked eyes with the enormous statue of the Mother Tree. The statue towered over the sacred ground, her carved wooden face gentle and full of divine wisdom. Her crown of leaf-carved braids reached high into the sky, while her thick arms spread out protectively as though she were blessing all who knelt before her. But Yuno had no time for worship today.He took in a deep breath, twitched his little round cap, and with a sudden push of energy, he activated his Jet Mushroom skill. A powerful burst of air erupted from beneath him like a geyser, shooting his tiny mushroom body high into the air. A green shimmer trailed behind him as he soared upward, spinning slightly as he adjusted his flight. He felt weightless for a moment, suspended in the wind, and then he gently landed right on

Chapter 79: Magic Glows, Evolving SoulsYuno stared at the faintly glowing particle hovering near Piggy’s snout. The little piglet had trapped it between his front hooves and now rolled it toward his mouth with the delicate care of a treasure hunter unveiling a gemstone. The green light sparkled and pulsed with slow, hypnotic rhythm, like the heartbeat of a living forest. As it touched Piggy’s tongue, it melted into his body in a blink. Another golden flare burst outward from the piglet’s round figure.The notification flickered above Piggy’s head once again.+EXPLevel Up!Yuno’s mushroom cap twitched.“Yeah,” he muttered aloud, his voice low but full of realization. “That’s it… It’s the energy needed for evolution. But the key part—the truly important thing—is not the number of snail shells…”His eyes slowly widened, glowing faintly with understanding.“…It’s the concentrated magic energy inside them. That’s what truly matters. That’s what fuels the transformation.”He blinked sever
Chapter 78: Shells, Glows, and Mushroom Frustration
Chapter 78: Shells, Glows, and Mushroom FrustrationThe sacred tree loomed tall and ancient, its twisting bark soaked with the quiet glow of soft green light. Its presence felt holy, as if time itself had woven blessings into every branch. The great jar of snail shells sat before it like an altar. Yuno squinted at it with both reverence and impatience. His small round mushroom body leaned forward slightly as he looked to the left, then to the right, then carefully down at the pile of shells again. His soft fungal brow furrowed. Nothing had happened. Not a sparkle, not a sound, not even a polite breeze.Piggy tilted his head and blinked at him from the side. The piglet's snout wrinkled with confusion, his ears twitching as if trying to catch some kind of invisible cue. But all he saw was Yuno talking to himself again.Yuno’s voice trembled with growing urgency as he whispered, “Did I… do it wrong?”He glanced down at the jar again, licking his dry lips and fidgeting nervously.

Yuno and Piggy were safe—or so they believed.But then…The Headbutting Mushroom skill suddenly stopped.There was no warning. No sign. Just a sharp jolt in the air.And then they were falling.Falling again.The glowing step vanished from beneath their feet as if the world had opened its mouth to swallow them whole. The wind screamed past their ears as they plummeted, their bodies tumbling through empty space.Yuno’s cap flipped upside down. Piggy rolled off his head and bounced beside him, squealing in surprise. “Oink!” the piglet cried, flailing his little hooves.“No!” Yuno shouted. “We made it! We were already there!”But it didn’t matter. The trial wasn’t over yet.Below them, the void stretched endlessly, and above them, the timer was still counting down.12 seconds.His heart thudded wildly.
