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

....

Eren felt relieved to find out that there was another connection to Earth. It wasn't even because he wanted to return to Earth.

He had long stopped craving for his life on earth, as life felt more distant than ever. The only reason he felt relieved to know that there was a connection to earth, was because he wanted to check on his real body at least once.

His soul had been summoned to this world. He still didn't know what happened to his body. If possible, he wanted to secure his body.

He didn't know what was going to happen to his soul if he was ever destroyed to the point that even his extra life wasn't enough.

If that happened, what was going to happen to his soul? Was it going to disperse into nothingness, or return to his main body?

If it was the former, there was nothing he could do. But if it was the latter, then he absolutely had to secure his real body.

Even if it was for a fleeting moment, he wanted to bring his main body back with him. With the kind of treasures he possessed, he could ensure that his real body was kept at an even more secure place.

Not only that, he could also use more treasures to strengthen his earthly body. In that case, even if he was to ever return to his real body after death, he could still be as strong as he currently was.

Eren's hopes had been ignited. Unfortunately, the flames were quickly dispersed as Yevni poured cold water over him with her following words.

"Hell used to be connected to Earth. However, that connection has been destroyed by the First Primordial a long time ago."

Eren looked at Yevni blankly. She didn't even give him a moment to be happy before destroying all his future plans.

Eren didn't even know how to respond. He knew that he was going to be irritated the more he thought about this lost opportunity, as well as his real body that might as well be cremated by others if it was discovered.

He could only stop thinking about it, so as to not mourn the loss of something that he couldn't retrieve.

"Do you know why he destroyed the connection to earth?" he asked the girl, approaching the distant Hellhound City.

"How would I know what those monsters are thinking when they do something? They are all so unpredictable... Except that Seventh Primordial, whose mind is filled with pleasure only."

....

"Can we just walk in?" Eren wondered aloud, gazing up at the colossal walls encircling Hellhound City.

The walls soared thousands of meters high, looking less like city walls and more like a tower housing an entire city within.

As they approached, Eren noticed the mist thinning, the air growing clearer with every step. Soon, the haze had all but vanished.

He looked back and could still see that dense mist, which made him feel as if there was an invisible wall near the Hellhound City which prevented the mist of death from getting closer.

"Just wear this. We will be fine." Yevni reached out her hand, revealing a bracelet. She didn't explain anything to Eren, simply expecting him to trust her.

Eren took the bracelet but he didn't wear it right away. With his skills, he didn't have to trust anything blindly. He used his identification skill on bracelet.

"A Bracelet of Slavery?"

Eren frowned. If it wasn't for the limitation that it couldn't be used to control a person, he would have thought that the girl was trying to scam him into becoming her slave so she could control his every action.

"For an outsider, you seem to know a lot about it. It is given to the slaves of the Empire, or the outsiders who have been enslaved by Nobles of Hell," the girl answered.

"What is the point of a bracelet when you can't even control the actions of a slave? Isn't that just a risk for the nobles when they could be betrayed at any time?" Eren asked, not seeing much point of this bracelet other than an identification card.

"You are right. But if you can think that, do you think the Nobles can't? The bracelet is only given to a slave after a mark of enslavement is cast on their soul," Yevni exclaimed the process of enslaving outsiders.

Eren had thought that the outsiders were simply killed in this world. However, he was getting to learn that there were more outsiders than he thought.

They had come from different worlds, most getting trapped here after getting caught. They were enslaved, and in most cases, sold to Nobles of the Empire.

The bracelet of slavery was only given to those whose soul had been marked with the seal of enslavement. It was used to mark the slaves as properties of the nobles.

With the bracelet, the outsiders could walk outside freely. It was simply believed that they were on a mission from their owner.

Unfortunately, it didn't mean that they were treated as a person. Even if they were killed, no one was going to raise an issue as long as an appropriate compensation was given to the owner of the slave.

In this world, the value of a slave was comparable to the coins that were spent to buy them, and nothing more.

They weren't free in true sense but they weren't completely imprisoned either.

"Normally it is a crime to give a bracelet of slavery to a person who hadn't been marked with the seal of obedience," Yevni stated. "However, there are only a few people in this world who can notice it. So as long as you aren't extremely unlucky, we should be fine."
