Su Mu always loved mushrooms, he loved their taste, their look, and knew their anatomy completely.
It was really too bad he stumbled on a new species of mushroom that looked like a non-poisonous mushroom. That day caused him to be on his death bed.
"I hope, if there is a next life, I am reborn as someone more important."
As death approached, Su Mu got ready to let it consume him.
Ding ! "you will die and be reborn"
"What...?"
Before he could question the strange voice further, his vision was already fading away.
I suppose a death like this is good enough for me. I have no regrets in this life except for wanting to live a little longer.
His last thoughts also came to an end as did his body.
But his soul didnt.
.

"Huh?"
"Whats going on? Why are these plants so big? No, why am I even in a forest!?"
A small voice could be heard from a white mushroom that somehow had tentacles made of mycelium and fungus atleast 4 meters long.
It was Su Mu.
No way.. I reincarnated into the body of a mushroom!? This isn't what I meant by more important, I'm really gonna die if someone stumbles across me!
Su Mu's gaze shifted towards the thick amounts of plants and grass that were strangely mutated around him before trying to move.
Nothing happened until he started to push more, once it reached a certain point he was able to completely control those thing tentacle like roots of his.
Not bad, not bad at all.
He tried to uproot himself but quickly realized if he did, there's a chance he would die.
Now knowing of his mistaken thinking, he stopped and instead thought about his strange tentacles.
Why do I even have these long things as a mushroom? Am I a mutated mushroom? What is going on!
Deep in thought, he didn't even notice the strange coal colored pig sneaking up behind him.
"OIIINK!!!!"
It's yell notified Su Mu and scared him, this caused him to slapped one of his tentacles against the pig off of reflex and something incredible happened.
The pig's body hit the ground! It got slapped so hard by the tentacle that it actually fell to the ground.
At the same time, something more interesting happened.
[ Name: Su Mu
[ Race: Mutated Earth Mushroom
[ Power: Rank 1, stage 3
[Innate: Spores, Rapid Regeneration, Multi-Bodied, Decomposer
[ Skills: Tentacles, Poisonous Body
[ DP: 0
It had information about his power, innate abilities, skills, ans an unknown currency. It was like a game screen he had seen in many video games.
This must be why everything around me doesn't look like it's from earth! Everything must've evolved like this and grown. Animals also must've underwent this change, humans should be no exception either.
Suddenly, another pop-up appeared.
[ Decompose +5 DP ]
[ Spread Life Spores ]
"Decompose"
He had no reason to make that strange pig live again, it was a mutated pig that could probably eat him if he's not careful.
Just like that, 2 large blankets of some kind of moss shot out of the ground and onto the pig, it was completely flattened and even the bones weren't spared.
[ Devoured Coal Pig +5 DP ]
[ Achievement "First Meal" +10 DP ]
[ Innate Ability: "Self Fueled" learned ]
- Consume your own life force to temporarily boost all of your stats and skills by 10x or more depending on the amount
"So it does this too... This is amazing!"
He noticed a button for evolution next to the pop-up, it required 100 DP, he only needed 5 more.
Su Mu quickly started to rack his brain on ideas to get more animals to come.
That's when it hit him, noise attracts things.
I can just play drums on the forest floor until those idiots come, it'll be like free food and money.
While he hit them on the ground, several creatures started to come at a fast rate.
Just as he predicted, one rushed right towards him. A large deer with rock-like traits jumped right onto him.
Crack!
[ Devoured Gray Stone Deer +3 DP ]
And another came aswell.
[ Devoured Fearless Gill Bird +4 DP ]
And even anys came.
[ Devoured 72 Crystalline Ants +36 DP ]
After a long 4 hours of farming points, 100 DP was finally collected.
He stared at the large "Evolve Now" button to his left and couldn't help but get excited.
There were actually 2 evolutions he could do, one for his main body and the other for his tentacles. He chose his body first of course so he could survive better, next would be his tentacles.
