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

There was fog everywhere which reduced his vision.

The trees seemed to loom over him with a sinister presence, and the sounds of rustling leaves made him look around.

"Why is there fog everywhere? This wasn\'t what I heard about this place?"

With his presence suppressed, all he had to do was hunt one specific beast in the depths of the Forest to finish his system quest.

He wanted to use a surprise attack to take out the beast without putting much effort. But until that point, he wanted to reserve his strength.

He hadn\'t expected the forest to be this strange. It was beyond what he had heard.

He didn\'t even know if he could reserve his strength at this point.

He wanted to walk past all the unnecessary beasts with the Ring of Presence Suppression. But thanks to the fog, he couldn\'t even see his surroundings clearly.

His vision was limited to only a few meters.

He wasn\'t even sure when he was going to come across a beast, let alone knowing if he could defeat the one he came across.

The fog affected him but he wasn\'t certain if it affected the beasts as well. If he stepped right in front of a beast and they saw him, the ring was no different than useless for him.

"Isn\'t there an item that allows me to see through this fog?"

He opened the System Store to check if there was anything that could help him.

"There it is."

After scrolling through the list, he noticed something that could strengthen his vision.

It was a herb that allowed him to see through the fog.

The excitement of finding what he needed was evident on his face. But the smile soon disappeared the moment he checked the cost of the herb.

"Ten thousand points? Why don\'t you just rob me directly? Even a High Tier Weapon is cheaper than that!"

The cost of one herb was more than all the points he had gathered after finishing multiple quests.

In total, he only had a hundred purchase points left. Let alone buying something worth a thousand points, he couldn\'t even afford to look at it.

"This quest isn\'t worth it if I have to spend so much. But after accepting it, if I were to quit, the punishment..."

In the end, he closed the Shop. Even without the visibility skill, he was still trying to finish the quest.

Using his heightened senses and the Ring of Presence Suppression, Ye Liang moved with stealth and agility, avoiding direct encounters with the powerful monsters lurking within the forest.

He couldn\'t rely on his vision, so he relied on his hearing skills. He also moved more carefully knowing that a single misstep could cost him his life.

As he delved deeper, he came across strange markings etched on the trees. They seemed ancient and filled with a mysterious energy.

Ye Liang examined them closely, his fingers tracing the intricate patterns.

Suddenly, a surge of energy coursed through his body, causing him to stumble back in surprise.

The markings on the trees had activated a hidden barrier, revealing a concealed path leading further into the heart of the Forest of Death.

"As expected of the Main Character. Even after knowing about it, I couldn\'t find that mark. But even without vision, that brat found it."

Sitting atop one of the trees, Eren observed Ye Liang on the ground.

Unlike Ye Liang, he was able to see through the fog, mainly because the fog wasn\'t natural.

This fog was created by Xiu Ying on his instructions. It had covered the entire forest. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Except Eren and Xiu Ying, no one else could see in this fog beyond a few meters. Not even the beasts were capable of that.

"If he keeps progressing like that, won\'t he end up in the same place as the novel mentioned?" Eren pondered.

"Xiu Ying, I believe it\'s time for that." He told the young lady who was sitting next to him, her head resting on his shoulders.

"Why go through such trouble for him? If you don\'t like him, I can kill him right now," Xiu Ying sweetly whispered in his ears.

"Now isn\'t the time for him to die. Just like now, there are a few things in which I would need his help in the future. How can I kill my treasure hunting rat now?"

Xiu Ying didn\'t understand what Eren was talking about but it didn\'t matter to her either.

She simply nodded and disappeared.

Ye Liang followed the path created by the ancient marking. His heart was racing with anticipation.

He came here to complete a system quest, but he hadn\'t expected to come across something like this.

It was clearly a sign created by a powerful ancient expert. It might even be an inheritance that could change people\'s fate.

As for finishing the Quest, he could always kill the target beast after receiving the inheritance.

With greed and excitement, he licked his lips.

The air grew denser as he pressed forward when suddenly the sounds of growls and roars echoed in the distance.

"Huh?"

He couldn\'t see beyond a meter, but he heard the roars clearly.

The roars sent a chill down his spine. These were the roars of powerful beasts.

Just feeling their aura, he could feel that he wasn\'t strong enough to face them.

The roars were also directed in his direction. It was clear the Beasts could see him. And the worst part was that they were standing in his path.

Their growls intensified as the beasts moved closer to Ye Liang, akin to predators chasing after their prey.

If it was one beast, he might be able to face them. But what about more than one? It was impossible for his current self.

"Urgh, why did it have to be now?! If I had taken the inheritance, I would have easily-"
