Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine nature itself can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger in order to accomplish the goal which brought them to this new place: to save nature from the system that the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good, but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

In the choking smog and steel of City Nineteen's slums, nature didn't seek a warrior — it sought a crusader. For a young mycologist raised in the city's bleakest corners, life offers scant opportunities and even less justice. But destiny has chosen them to navigate treacherous union politics, decipher the mysteries of their birthplace, and unravel the enigma of a god-like master. Their goal: to mend the fractured bond between man and nature. Yet as shadows deepen and they discover the depths of the city's rot, they begin to wonder: is the only true remedy to set the world aflame and rise from its ashes?

In a world where dungeons pulse as the heart of industry, infinite wealth flows from their depths. These labyrinths, brimming with treacherous traps and fierce creatures, are the lifeblood of civilization's relentless machine. But for nature's crusader, they represent the very chains binding the world in exploitation. Determined to liberate nature, they venture deep into the notorious Ditz Dungeon — confronting not only its dangers but allies whose allegiances waver in the face of greed. At the dungeon's core lies the potential for an apocalyptic ritual. With such immense power comes a dire choice: can they truly free the world by risking its very annihilation?
