The First Store System

Chapter 1137: Reason for Growth!

"... these are the five products currently available in the store," Aakesh concluded the product's introduction.

Greton stood there with a shocked expression. He had even forgotten about Lily. He also finally understood what was causing the sudden growth of Feltin over the past year.

Even though he and Feltin were blood siblings and not step-brothers, the relationship between them wasn't that good. There was no hatred either, but since Greton was the next ruler in line and Feltin also wanted to become one, the affinity they had was negative.

Destryans were beasts, but they were weapon users, unlike many in the beast group. Feltin and Greton were both battleaxe users, as was their father.

Greton wasn't chosen to be the crown prince because he was the eldest, but because of his talent with the battleaxe. His father didn't consider any other weapon to be a killing weapon. For him, the battleaxe was the greatest weapon to be created, and since Greton was well-versed in that, he was chosen as the next crown prince.

But during the last year, there has been growth in Feltin's battleaxe-manship. It was still nothing compared to what Greton was capable of, but his father had started to catch the growth in his younger brother.

If not for the tremendous karmic debt Feltin owed to Greton, Greton would have never known about the store from Feltin's mouth.

Now that Greton knew about the training area and the role it played for Feltin, Greton was excited to see what his younger brother's reaction would be when they both fought in the future. Greton was confident in his talent for battleaxe-manship since his father believed him to be the successor of the only Sacred Creator of the Destryans, and he was also obsessed with it.

"Store owner, tell me more about the training area," Greton respectfully asked.

He no longer looked at Lily since there was nothing more than the battleaxe.

"There are seven levels of training areas, trivial, normal, moderate, difficult, Immortal, Gods & Demons, and Primordial.
"The Primordial level is currently blocked for the user…"

Aakesh explained the training area in detail, solving all the doubts Greton had in his mind about the training area.

"Store owner, is the one hour per seven days for the Gods & Demons level training area valid for all or for only those with weak mental strength?" Greton asked.

The Gods & Demons level training area was clearly more valuable than the others combined, so if there wasn't a limit of training one hour every seven weeks for everyone, Greton was confident in his mental strength to do it several times a day.

"The entry limit is fixed for all," Aakesh answered. Greton was an intermediate Sacred Emperor, so for someone of his caliber to enter the Gods & Demons level training area for Lesser and Higher grade weapons for the entire day wasn't a tough task. Unfortunately for Greton, the system made the rules keeping the cultivators of that level in mind, so there was no change in the rules.

"Okay, I have another question.

"I can understand customers can only enter the Gods & Demons training area only once every week, but I wanted to ask whether the entry was uniform for all levels or was it specific for weapon grades?" Greton inquired.


"Uniformly for all levels," Aakesh answered. It wasn't the first time someone asked him such a question, so he immediately replied. Since Greton could think of such a scenario, the system could also think of the situation.

Greton didn't seem much disappointed after hearing the answer since he had expected an answer of such sort.

"Store owner, can I enter the Immortal level training area after the Gods & Demons?" Greton asked another question.

Both levels of difficulty had an entry limit, so Greton asked.

"No!" Aakesh replied immediately as another familiar question was thrown at him.

Sigh!

Greton could only sigh upon hearing Aakesh. Since he had no choice but to choose between either entering the Immortal or the Gods & Demons level difficulty, the choice wasn't tough for him.

"Store owner, I want to enter the Gods & Demons level training area for the Higher grade battleaxe," Greton requested.

"You need to pay one higher Sacred stone," Aakesh expressionlessly stated the price.

Greton nodded, took one stone out from his inner world, and handed it to Aakesh.

"To enter the area…" After the payment was complete, Aakesh explained the entry process to Greton.

"Thank you, store owner!" Greton thanked Aakesh and then proceeded toward the room pointed at by Aakesh.

When Greton entered the room, his sight was greeted by the ten-plus pillars set up beautifully and several customers inside the room, trying to find a weapon.

But what took Greton's breath away were the murals related to the battleaxe. There was nothing new about the concept used in the attacks in the painting, but Greton couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of whoever designed the attacks.

Greton couldn't move his eyes away from the murals, and the more he watched, the more he felt like falling deep into them. Even though the concepts used in the attacks were known to Greton, as the murals moved closer to the pillar representing the battleaxe, the shock in his heart grew.

Greton couldn't help but think of himself as an inferior being to whoever was the attack creator since he couldn't match it.

The murals were endless, so Greton had to forcefully move his eyes away from them.

Greton had a higher grade battleaxe, so he didn't need to buy one. He proceeded toward the pillar.

Greton found a few customers covered in golden light around the different pillars. Since the store owner had already told him the process, he wasn't ignorant and knew that these customers were training in the infinite space inside the pillars.

Aware of the process, Greton touched the needle with the tip of his finger. The next moment, a pain that came right from the soul appeared. It disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

The next moment, Greton's eyes turned blank, and a golden, transparent barrier surrounded his body, keeping it safe from other customers.
