Publisher Description
“Until the day humanity falls.”
In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.
In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.
An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.
But An Zhe's mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng's eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…
Silver Award Winner of 2021’s Xingyun Awards for Global Chinese Science Fiction for Best Original Novel

Please Read This
The most underrated danmei book ever to be published in English. I love An Zhe so much, his perspective as a sentient, shape-shifting mushroom is so delightful to read. I rarely read books twice but I came back and reread this (and Vol. 2) a second time and still loved it that time through, and noticed things I hadn’t on the first pass. The first time I read it I was so desperate to know what happens that I read faster than I normally do. All my friends had to hear me talk about it.
The imagery shisi uses to describe the settings is detailed enough that I formed wild pictures in my head. I would love to see this adapted in a 2-D animation style.
This book will be much more than you think it is going to be!
Read below for a trigger warning (don’t if you don’t want to know)

Amazing and Captivating!!!
An amazing book that can really bring you in 😎😎
A Great Read
I’ve been recommended this quite a few tomes and I can definitely say that it is a worthy read. There’s so much to unpack and the reader goes through a rollercoaster of emotions with An Zhe. The grey morality and complex topics from this book was very eye opening.
