[Transported into another world | a logic-defying little mushroom ❤️🔥 a gifted demon hunter]
Xue You is a rare frost-velvet mushroom.
He grew up in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by natural disasters. His lifelong dream is to reproduce and grow his mushroom clan.
But Xue You's true form is so unusual that other creatures always reject him, and he can't find a suitable partner.
Until one day, he falls into a novel.
This world is very different. It is home to many healthy humans, as well as all kinds of ghosts, monsters, and demons.
And Xue You discovers that these ghosts and demons not only don't reject him, they even approach him and show him affection!
Overjoyed, Xue You quickly becomes friends with the monsters.
Every day, he squeezes in to sleep with the little soot balls, goes with his three-headed monstrous bird neighbor to dig up the freshest human bones, and leads wandering spirits in evading human pursuers…
Xue You makes lots of friends, but he doesn't forget his dream of reproducing.
He finds a magical potion that supposedly lets you have baby mushrooms no matter what species your partner is!
After carefully looking around, Xue You sets his sights on a human man.
He takes human form, disguises himself, and learns to confess his feelings the way humans do.
“Hello,” says the shy, bashful youth with soft black hair. “You're really handsome. Would you be my partner?”
Ling Jing, elite demon hunter, the strongest human alive, the novel's ultimate villain, and currently tied up and dragged here: “.”
Ling Jing: “Sure.”
**
Xue You is very pleased with his partner.
This human isn't just handsome. He can do laundry and cook, and he's tall, dashing, and strong. He's even incredibly talented in certain areas, so talented that even a mushroom who has cultivated a spirit like Xue You can't handle it. Every night, Xue You is left aching and weak, blissfully spent.
At this rate, they should be able to have baby mushrooms soon!
But after a while, Xue You is shocked to discover that the magical potion he found was fake!
The awful Demon King made it up to trick him into working. Xue You can't have baby mushrooms at all!
Crushed and disheartened, Xue You leaves a breakup letter and quietly goes away alone.
He buries himself in the ground, wanting to be by himself for a while.
Demon Slayer is an unfinished horror-fantasy novel. Its main villain, Ling Jing, is cold-hearted. Though he is an elite demon hunter of immense strength, he acts on a whim and uses ruthless methods. Both humans and demons fear him.
In the novel's ending, rampaging demons slaughter humanity, while Ling Jing personally ignites the miasma beneath the earth's core, bringing devastation to every living creature in the world.
The prophet of the Demon Hunter Bureau foresees the coming disaster but can't find a way to stop it.
Then, Ling Jing suddenly disappears for a while. When he returns, he is seething with hostility, even darker and more unpredictable than before.
Demons of every kind also begin rampaging across the world, while demon birds circling overhead keep calling, “Mushroom, mushroom”… as if urgently searching for something.
The prophet is terrified and despairing. Is the end of the world coming early?
Later, Xue You, hiding out in the wasteland and growing grass, is finally found.
The demons crowd around him. Ling Jing wipes the dirt from Xue You's cheek and asks in a low voice, “Why did you break up with me?”
Xue You lowers his head guiltily. He doesn't want Ling Jing to know he was foolish enough to be tricked, much less that he'd gotten together with him just to have baby mushrooms.
Stammering, he uses words he'd once overheard other humans say during a breakup, making something up on the spot: “…Y-you're just too terrible in bed.”
