My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Absolute Ruler or...?

Eren noticed the woman talking to herself, her voice barely audible. It seemed more like she was trying to convince herself than anything else.

He slowly stepped back, a sense of unease rising within him. Unsure if his poison would even affect a Spirit, he prepared himself nonetheless.

"Identify."

Eren activated his skill to gather information about the woman. But before he could finish reading the first word on the Status Screen, he felt a sudden emptiness beneath him.

It was as if the floor beneath him had simply disappeared.

A portal appeared right under his feet. He wasn't prepared for it. Before he could even react, gravity did its job and he fell inside the portal.

He quickly reacted and used his Sea Dragon Bloodline to fly up, but the space around him had completely changed. The more he flew up, the more he appeared to be falling in this spatial tunnel.

"I will cross that bridge when the time comes. For now, I must take him with me," the woman said, but no one was able to hear her.

She had used the life essence she had gathered throughout the years to open a portal, intending to bring Eren to her world.

Simultaneously, the door to the Spirit Realm appeared behind her. She stepped back and vanished. The door closed and dissolved into the void.

The Beast Master was looking at the Phoenix in awe, not realizing that Eren brought her out to keep him distracted, allowing him to clean all blood traces.

Throughout this time, the Beast Master was oblivious to the fact that Eren had been kidnapped right in his presence.

It was the first time he had seen a Mythical Beast like the Phoenix. For a Beast Master, there was no greater pleasure.

Subconsciously, he reached out to touch the Phoenix, but just as he was about to make contact, she turned violent.

She sensed Eren's absence. Turning around abruptly, she accidentally struck the Beast Master, sending him flying out the window.

As a Mythical Beast, she could see the portal into which Eren had fallen. It further helped that she had a connection to him.

The portal on the floor wasn't large. Judging by its size, it seemed it could only accommodate a human. As for a giant phoenix, it seemed impossible.

Despite that, the Phoenix flew straight toward the portal. The portal, although small, flared up with spatial energy, pulling the Phoenix inside as well.

Only after swallowing the phoenix, the portal started cracking apart, overwhelmed. It was soon destroyed and disappeared into nothingness as well.

....

Eren fell through the spatial tunnel. The sensation was disorienting, and for a moment, he could do nothing but fall into the unknown.

"Just what is up with my luck? Now I'm even getting kidnapped from my own residence?"

"It seems that my luck points reward has been put to good use," he sarcastically commented as he stopped resisting the spatial tunnel flow.

He didn't even know if there was an end to this spatial tunnel. However, he was certain that there had to be an end to this spatial tunnel.

He was prepared to protect himself as soon as he was out of the spatial tunnel. He didn't want to make the mistake of being unprepared and falling to his death.

The more he resisted the flow of space, the more he felt like his body was getting hurt. It was as if his body was being pulled from all sides at the same time. Only the downward pull appeared to be stronger.

Fortunately, the spatial tunnel didn't last for an eternity. After what felt like a few minutes, he saw the strange pull disappear.

The colorful vortex of the spatial essence disappeared and he was finally able to see a blue sky. He even felt the flow of wind brushing against his skin while he was falling from the sky.

He used his Sea Dragon Bloodline and controlled his fall. His fall slowed down and he was finally back in control as he landed softly on a patch of soft grass.

As soon as he landed, before he could even start observing his surroundings, a red screen appeared in front of him.

Initially, he thought it was the continuation of the status screen of that unknown spirit. However, when he read the content, he sat on the ground, seemingly exhausted.

[It has been detected that you have entered the Spirit Realm]

[Your fate has changed by a small fraction]

[New options have been triggered that can affect your main path]

[Option One: Conquer the Spirit Realm and become the Absolute Ruler of Spirits.

Reward: Unknown Guardian Spirit (Legendary Tier)]

[Option Two: Take the Path of a Lover and win the heart of the Spirit Queen.

Reward: A Contract with the Spirit Queen]

[Option Three: Hide for thirty days and don't let any Spirit find you.

Reward: Infinite Travel Pass to Spirit Realm and Back(Unique Tier)]

[Option Four: Create your own path that doesn't align with the other options.

Reward: Reincarnation Pass (Legendary Tier)]

Eren sat on the grass, looking at the screen with a complicated expression.

Thanks to these options, he finally understood that he had ended up in the Spirit Realm. There were only four ways for him to go back, and those four ways were present in the option.

He could either conquer this realm and force the spirits to send him back. Or he could make the Spirit Queen fall in love with him and request her send him back.

He could also hide for thirty days. With the return pass reward, he could return without relying on others.

Unfortunately, all these options were easier said than done. The easiest option appeared to be the third option.

As for the fourth option, it made Eren most concerned.

Every time the reward was a Reincarnation Pass, he was able to guess that it meant he was going to die while completing that option.

Although the fourth option didn't mention it clearly, Eren was able to guess that it asked him to go with the flow and didn't take the other three options.

He had a feeling that the flow was exactly what was going to lead him to death.
