A flash of white light passed before Tang Yan's eyes, and he appeared in a separate, enclosed room.
Smooth gray stone bricks surrounded him, with a stone door ahead.
He walked over and was about to try pushing it open when a line of text suddenly lit up on the door: "Before entering the Spirit Realm, please enter your alias!"
Tang Yan guessed he did not need to use his real name and wrote "Dragon Knight" on the door with his finger.
After writing the name, Tang Yan stood at the entrance and waited for two breaths. A light flashed across the name, and then it vanished from the stone door.
A neutral voice rang out: "No duplicate name found. Alias available. Your appearance has been concealed. Welcome, demon catcher 'Dragon Knight,' to the No. 30 Spirit Realm."
As soon as the announcement ended, the stone door opened automatically.
He left the room and entered a spacious hall. Smooth gray stone walls surrounded it, without doors or windows. Night-luminous pearls hung from the ceiling, illuminating the hall brilliantly.
A dozen or so people were already there, their faces full of bewilderment and curiosity. Tang Yan guessed they had all just arrived as well.
A name hovered above each person's head.
Tang Yan got a taste of everyone's flair for choosing aliases: Plum Blossoms at Zero Degrees, Crooked-Mouthed Saint, I Am a Shipper, A Meter of Sunshine, Unfettered Vagabond...
Many probably had not expected their names to appear above their heads. A young man who had chosen "Night Raid on Widow Village" now had shame written all over his face.
Rumble-
The sound of another stone door opening rang out. A doorway opened in one wall, and a young man named "The Cicada Knows Not of Snow" walked in.
