Duo Mo, the Brave Mushroom
Mushroom Brave was created by Lord Shibu, it can be read on Mangakalot
Background
Experience and Intelligence
Prior to the isekai, Duo Mo was just an average nerd skilled enough in a video game to become a popular guild leader. While his game knowledge proved somewhat useful in navigating this new world, it didn't get him very far. He repeatedly makes poor choices throughout the series, he can be pretty impressionable, and flagrantly ignores the advice of the System.
Although he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he does know how to fight dirty. While he started out with the most unlucky existence in the isekai, he managed to survive for a while using underhanded tactics against braves. For example, he played dead before wiping out a team of novice adventurers gathered around him.
When he befriended Piggy, that was a game changer for him, but he was still able to accomplish a bit on his own. A lot of his experience comes down to farming various low level monsters and inexperienced braves for EXP, but he has tussled with some higher level threats throughout the series like one of Golumn's giant demons or the level 78 grandmaster mantis, which took several attempts to beat.
He's also traveled across the continent, trained under the previous Mushroom King's guards Kage and Beau to the point where his stamina became infinite, and finished many quests with the aid of Piggy.
Equipment
Resurrection Coin
Duo Mo has a single resurrection coin, which will fully restore his health before disappearing.
Potions
Duo Mo has many potions on hand, and can craft more using a brewing stand and various ingredients, or through decomposition (we'll get to that later). Many of these potions are self-explanatory, but these include- Healing potions
- Stamina potions
- Magic restoration potions: Restores MP
- Curse removal potions
- Poison healing potions
- Super potion: Drinking this instantly cures all status conditions

Recall Scroll
The recall scroll is an item that can only be used by humans. It allows Duo Mo and Piggy to teleport to specific locations.
Sword
Not much to it than that
Mushroom Rapier
Originally a branch from the Divine Tree Mother, it transformed into an unbreakable blade after imbuing enough magic into it. The Mushroom Rapier is a legacy weapon of the Mushroom Kings, first appearing before its wielder in a miraculous manner. Aside from being unbreakable, the sword is known for having a different power depending on its wielder. For Duo Mo, it’s duplication. Another specialty of the rapier comes from the branch it transformed from. As the branch could accumulate power, Duo Mo can store magic power in it over time before unleashing an ultra powerful magic attack.
Mushroom Shield
It has a cute design at least.
Incantation Coin
This coin contains the spell Blessing of Fire, which causes fire/heat resistance
Miscellaneous Items
Here are some other items that are part of his inventory- 89 coins
- Werewolf king's pelt
- 1 slime gel
- 12 ashes

Abilities
The System
The invisible system that lets him use and gain skills in combat. The System keeps track of his stats, quests, and can keep track of his location with a map. They automatically warn Duo Mo when he's low on health. The System used to have a cheeky personality, often providing Duo Mo useful information only if they're compensated, but has since become much kinder and emotive once both they and Duo Mo evolved. Despite their vast knowledge, the system isn’t omniscient.
Inventory Box
The system gives him access to an inventory he can access at any time, storing whatever item he collects inside it.
Appraisal
A skill that lets him see the level and info on anything in his level range
Statistics Amplification
After beating enough monsters or braves, he can level up. This not only makes him stronger, but can lead to him gaining new abilities. He can view his current stats any time on the System's attribute bar. Every time he levels up, his injuries are completely healed.
Spore Manipulation
As a mushroom, he’s easily able to manipulate spores. He can unleash a huge puff of spores to mask his movements and damage opponents. Later on, his spores evolve to make mushrooms grow out of his opponents if they are hit by them. They're also highly flammable, as even small flame can instantly turn a huge spore cloud into a raging fire.
Decomposition
One of Duo Mo's weirder abilities. As a mushroom, Duo Mo consumes by absorbing nutrients through his roots…… which is his ass. That isn't the only use his butt has. Through his roots, he can decompose anything from nature to nourish him.
He can only use decomposition 24 hours at a time. This power is especially effective against plants. He can also use decompose to create potions. By decomposing a mix of potions, he can spew out a new mixture. Thankfully when he's in his human form, he doesn't have to decompose with his ass.
By successfully decomposing something, he gains materials and one-time abilities related to what was absorbed. This power applies to enemies too. After decomposing and absorbing a fallen monster, he temporarily gains at most two of his foe’s abilities. After a single use, the ability disappears. Sometimes an ability can last for a duration of 10 minutes instead.
When it comes to monsters, here are the following abilities he can gain from decomposing them:
- Possessed Stump: Stump camouflage and hardened bark skin
- Wait, that's the only one?
- Possessed Stump: Stump camouflage and hardened bark skin
- Wait, that's the only one?
Invisibility Vision
For one reason or another, he was able to see Golumn's invisible follower
Limited Magic Absorption
Unlike humans, he can physically absorb condensed magic power to gain EXP
Sage Mode
Entering sage mode calms him down and improves his focus. He can use it to react quicker to fast attacks or calm down from excessive stimulation (in the range of his level)
Magic
All his abilities run on mana. If his MP drops enough, he’ll become a mushroom again
Regeneration Negation
Decomposition can bypass objects with magical protection and regeneration
King's Heritage
As he was recognized as the new mushroom king, this floating crown started following him around that protected him from all attacks, before fusing with him and giving him the powers of a Mushroom King
Mushroom King Powers
While most of these are self explanatory, I do want to elaborate on Domain. Domain lets him teleport to any place within the Mushroom Kingdom, and automatically teleports him and others away from him if anyone attempts to attack him. This is only functional within the kingdom and is limited to 10 uses every hour. Each use consumes 400 MP
Transformation
After the shooting star incident (………we'll get to that later), he can focus on the energy from the shooting stars to transform between his mushroom and brave form at will. As someone who can properly control his mana, this is an easy task for him. Duo Mo learned an excellent strategy to frequently transform between species mid-fight to throw his opponents off. Not only that, but it allows him to use his mushroom abilities and mushroom magic simultaneously.
Infinite Stamina
His training paid off, as he broke past his limits and gained infinite stamina
Regal Spores
After becoming a Mushroom King, his spores evolved into regal spores, which he can use to make duplicates of himself that all share his abilities, magic, and transformations. Later on he should be able to spawn different types of common mushroom monsters. The higher level the ability is, the better summons he has at his disposal. There doesn’t seem to be a limit to how many clones he can make, as he can regularly spawn massive amounts.

Extrasensory Perception
He can sense when someone is trying to use Appraise on him

Spore Link
When attempting to decompose curses within someone, Duo Mo learned that he can use spores to link his mind with his target’s to enter their mental world. Within their mental world lies their inner self, which is the essence of the target and everything that makes them themselves. Theoretically, Duo Mo should be able to decompose anything he wants that isn’t immune to magic. In the series, he uses it to decompose multiple layers of curses in a brave

- Wrecked four waves of newbie braves
- Completed the Penalty Space challenge, where he had to touch 10,000 unique platforms in the space in under an hour to escape. He did so all the while carrying Piggy around
- Duo Mo decomposed the Divine Tree Mother, which allowed newbies in the starter village to change classes. Absorbing it caused him to level up over 30 times and turned the Divine Tree Mother into the shriveled up Divine Tree Grandmother
- With Piggy’s help, the two completed the bounty of slaying tree spirits, including a level 60 elder tree spirit
- Held his own against members of the corrupt and poison-centric Serpent’s Death Kiss Guild
- Was the only survivor in a massacre caused by Dick, the manipulative gunslinger and member of the Sacred Sanctum Guild, one of the six greats

- Trained under Kage, one of the four Mushroom Generals who trained the previous King Mushroom.
- After multiple attempts, he defeated a grandmaster mantis, an elite level 78 monster. He unlocked his regal spore powers during the fight
- Saved a town from a giant demon with his squad
- Current stats:
- Level: 62
- HP: 15,819
- MP: 12,001
- SP: ∞
- Attack: 987
- Magic: 987
- Defense: 335
- Speed: 52
- Critical Rate: 10%

Strength
- Killed a monster that destroyed three towns in a row
- Mushroom Bash is powerful enough to break a shield and decapitate a monster
- Farted out shooting stars that shot throughout the entire continent (large mountain calc in embed)
- Punched a guy so hard he cracked a wall
- Sliced through the arm of a giant demon
Speed
- Dodges electricity
- Dodged a "small magic bullet" that blew through trees
- Reacted to one of the Mushroom King’s attacks, who’s fast enough to keep up with the guild leader Seth who reacted to crystallizing light beams
- Mushroom Bash evolved to the point where he can zoom past ten platforms with a single leap
- The shooting stars he farted out travelled across the entire continent at tremendous speeds
- Scales to bullet-timers like Kage and Beau
Durability
- Had his top partially shaven off from an attack that shoots through trees
- Survived a slash through his body
- Scales to Piggy, who was kicked really far away
- Smashed by an Elder Tree Spirit, making cracks on the ground
Weaknesses
- All of his skills run on a cooldown
- His mushroom form is hardly flexible. I mean look at those stubby limbs!
- Identification cannot give him information from monsters or braves with too high levels
- His ego can get the better of him, which really backfires when things don’t go his way
- Leveling up can’t cure poisons
- Decompose won’t work on anything that’s too high of a level, and will still give him a cooldown if he attempts it
- If Duo Mo frequently refuses to do missions given by the system, he will be sent to a realm called the Penalty Space. There, he will have to complete a difficult platform challenge within the time limit, or he will die. The system is super petty… well, the old system anyway
- Humans have finer control over magic, which is a boon after he evolved. However, he has to consciously turn off his abilities when not in use, otherwise it’ll overdraft the mana in his body and eventually faint
- If he’s running low on mana, he will regress back into his mushroom form
