Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Lin Jun, inexplicably reincarnated as a mushroom, found himself surrounded and trapped by demons in the deep levels of the Underground City. With no hands, no feet, and no eyes, he relied solely on the plunder skill from disassembled corpses to survive. He even established a mushroom garden in the Underground City, planning to gradually counterattack the dungeon. Until one day, a silly Duke's daughter, who was turned into a mushroom, fell from above. And also attracted a rescue team of diamond-level adventurers. "If you want to kill, then kill!" "Why would I want to kill you? Could you please calm down a bit?" "Huh?"

The Underground Therapist

Dr. Elias Vance is a clinical psychopath and a licensed modern therapist. When he transmigrates into Oakhaven—a grim, gas-lit fantasy metropolis choked by industrial smog, corrupt cults, and blood-magic syndicates—his soul-bound "System" does something unexpected. It constructs a pristine, sterile, modern psychiatric clinic right in the middle of the slums. To the broken and desperate, the clinic is a glowing psychic beacon of absolute safety. But to Elias, the city's terrifying, magic-wielding horrors are just extreme cases of workplace harassment, codependency, and severe diagnostic abnormalities. Armed with a notepad, a flat monotone voice, and complete immunity to fear, Elias starts treating Oakhaven's most dangerous figures: - A blood-magic Maw Priestess suffering from Shared Psychotic Disorder? Elias prescribes boundary-setting and a sleeping pill. - A high-society poisoner with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? Elias has her confront her toxic relationships. - A ruthless gold-weaving cartel merchant? Elias treats him for sociopathic corporate greed. He hands his patients simple therapy exercises and tools—like cheap foam stress balls, latex gloves, or an EMDR light bar. Yet, in this magic-suffused world, his patients manifest these mundane tools as terrifying, god-tier artifacts capable of manipulating gravity, severing mind-links, and dismantling empires. "Do you have an appointment?" Elias asks. Because in a world of dark gods and corrupt watchmen, mental health is a serious business. And the session fee is fifty silver shillings—no collateral accepted.

the system has a low presence in this story, and it avoids the pitfalls of making the plot into a railroad to railroad to upgrades, like all other weaktostrong stories. we all know how those plots go, and we can skip that stuff. speaking of, the side characters don't feel like upgrades either. they each have their own thing going on too, even when it's not moving the plot. these are all small things, but they just make this story feel nice to read, this is top book in my library.

The stories update should be at least twice a day so that the readers will be devoted to the story. And let the story be about romance and business component and not underground dealings or mafia.
