Hyperion Evergrowing: A Monster Evolution LitRPG ch 0-25

Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle.

The squad he commanded have either fallen or abandoned the fight and all around are the cries and wails of the dying.

With both armies all but wiped out vultures and parasites stalk the aftermath, one such creature finds Leif as the last of his lifeblood stains the muddy ground.

Implanted with the essence of a carnivorous and corrupting tree, Leif loses his levels, memory and humanity.

Reborn as a sapling in the newly formed wilderness that sprung up among the fallen, Leif must piece back together the fragmented shards of his soul and identity.

But before that he must do what all trees must.

Put down roots, stay still and grow.
