The First Store System

Chapter 1138: Memory Return!

After Gerton left for the weapons room, Aakesh closed his eyes and began another relaxation session.

While in the Primal Dimension,

It had been more than three thousand years since the store owner left for the Sacred Dimension, leaving Jonnah as the store manager.

Three thousand years was a long time for several events to take place, but one thing remained constant, the power growth speed of the Bisan Empire.

Brinda Bisan was a legendary character that created a tiny Kingdom placed in one of the worst corners of the Anga continent and formed it into an Empire, the strongest force of the Primal Dimension.

Despite doing it, Brinda never got an appreciation for achieving such a humongous task. The store became the center of attention.

Things began to change after Brinda ascended. She left Glenn Bisan as her next heir, the second Emperor of the Bisan Empire.

After becoming Emperor, Glenn's first order was to form a statue of Brinda at the center of the capital city, Kakot. It was a gigantic statue, and when it was installed, the event saw great beings from all over the dimension.

Glenn had carved his own legacy, as the heirs trained by him were the most talented cultivators of the generation. Glenn and his heirs put humans at the top of the food chain, just like in Arjuna's time.

Before ascending, Brinda had made Glenn vow that he would only leave the throne after finding a suitable heir, so since then, he had been selecting the best of the Bisan's descendants.
Similar to Brinda, Glenn didn't marry and have any children of his own, so the heirs chosen by him were his nephews.

Unlike Brinda, Glenn chose seven nephews to be his heirs. That day was bound to be an extraordinary one since there was an event going on in the Empire between the seven chosen heirs.

Whoever would win the battle would become the third Emperor of the Bisan Empire, while the remaining six would have to make a vow of loyalty toward him.

Glenn wasn't in a hurry to find the next Emperor, but everything changed several years ago.

Glenn had always been aware of the system and how he had forgotten something that was extremely important to him. Several years ago, that changed as the memories of his past life bombarded his head.

Glenn remembered Clair, the love of his life. He remembered the struggles he went through with her and the tragedies he had to face because of her. Glenn remembered Tormod, Clair's father. He remembered how he killed Clair.

Glenn finally remembered everything, and from that moment on, the Bisan Empire and its safety became nothing to him. Still, he had a vow that he needed to find an heir before ascending, and he also couldn't take any actions that would negatively affect the Kingdom despite knowing about it, so he decided to end this as soon as possible.

Glenn was grateful to Brinda and the entire Bisan family, but his love for Clair and hatred for Tormod surpassed everything.

The battle of the heirs began with immense fanfare. Several Emperors graced the event with their presence and watched the battle with interest.

The battle of the seven heirs started where the beginning of the Bisan Kingdom had truly happened: at the tower won by Brinda.

The battle was interesting, and finally, there was a winner, and it was Brendar, the eldest of the generations in the family. He won handsomely won over his cousins and gained the crown from Glenn.

Glenn couldn't immediately attempt ascension after crowning Brendar the next Emperor. There were still some duties left of him.

"Is this the end!" Brinda groaned, lying on the ground in her blood.

She looked at the starry sky. It should have been a beautiful scene, but that night was filled with terror, so it caused nothing but fear.

Brinda had ascended to the Sacred Dimension before the store owner. She never got over the fact that no one appreciated her effort in the formation of the Empire.

Brinda was neither naive nor arrogant enough to believe that the store didn't play any role in that. She knew if not for the store, the Bisan Kingdom would have continued its decline under her arrogant father. She only wanted a slight compliment from someone that she was also important in the change.

Brinda's eyelids started to turn heavy as a wave of drowsiness hit her. Brinda knew she couldn't let herself fall unconscious or she might never awaken, so she bit her lip, trying to stay awake.

Compared to the pain from the deep gash on her chest, the lip pain was more like a sting, so it played no effect. The drowsiness grew, and her past memories started to flash in front of her eyes.

"Only if you haven't left me, grandfather," Brinda mumbled, as the person she respected the most was her grandfather. He was also the person she hated the most.

Brinda never told anyone that she always felt disgusted by Punta's action of running away and hiding for life after learning that the store owner killed his son Pinto.


Slowly, her life force began to leave her body, weakening her. Her eyelids finally drooped down.

Roar!

A roar suddenly rang in the area as a gigantic beast stepped out, smelling the blood. Its eyes were red as it looked at the unconscious Brinda between life and death.

It roared once again and pounced on the body. Suddenly a flickering energy barrier appeared around her, trying to defend Brinda.

The barrier was fickle, as it couldn't even survive the presence and cracked down. But the beast suddenly stopped. A confused light appeared in its eyes as it felt a familiar sensation from the body on the ground.

The beast suddenly sensed other beasts approaching the area, so it grabbed the unconscious Brinda and then left the area with her in its mouth.

When other beasts reached the area, they found only pools of blood there, angering them.

Unaware of the developments taking place around different store customers, Aakesh opened his eyes and turned in the direction of the gate. An unfamiliar face with a pondering expression standing not very far from the store gate welcomed his sight.
