While nighttime strikes across the land of Lumizard everything around you begins to glow. The trees, the flowers, the stones and ground you're walking on, even some animals. The further you go in this world, the more glowing organisms you find. The place where you were born and grew up wasn't affected by this glowing which the elders call "bioluminescence". Some say the giant mushrooms that grow in Lumizard are the source of all of this mystical glow. But no one can say where they come from. Were they origin to this world? Did they once come from a completely different world onto this planet? No one knows but one thing is sure. There needs to be some correlation between the mushrooms and the glowing. The more mushrooms inhabit a biome, the more the flora and even fauna glow.
These fungi reshape the land and creatures around them, transforming them into new, radiant versions of themselves. Dark canyons now glow with eerie blue and pink light, meadows illuminate at night, and the oceans shimmer brightly under the moon. Some lands are deeply affected by the mushrooms, while others remain untouched due to their remote locations.
Are their spores the reason? If it were only the glowing, you wouldn't care as much. But lately, it seems some creatures are otherwise negatively affected. It seems that more and more creatures go mental, attacking everything they see. And then there are also these mysterious and overpowered creatures that the dragons call bosses. They oversee the biomes and control everything we do. At first, we thought they might be protecting us but lately, more and more strange things happen. Dragons disappear or lose their mind. You need to find out how to stop everything. You don't know why, but somehow you are sure that the mushrooms are the key to this mystery.
Within Lumizard, there are thousands of different mushrooms, some beneficial, some toxic, and some even hostile. Slime molds and rot appear to possess a mind of their own and are not easily harvested. Creatures more influenced or enhanced by the mushrooms gain "magical" or supernatural abilities. Various types of mushrooms boost different elemental powers, and some may even grant entirely new abilities.
