The First Store System

Chapter 1236: Vanya(1)

As Vanya touched the scar on her face with her glowing hand, the scar healed in no time, and her skin returned to its optimal condition.

Vanya belonged to the Moonlight Elf in the Primal Dimension, so after ascending, she joined the Moonlight Elves directly under the control of the Moon Elves.

As the Moonlight Elves were a branch race, the respect and treatment they received from the Moon Elves weren't worth talking about. But Vanya was an exception to that rule. She had a meteoric rise right from the moment she stepped foot inside the Sacred Dimension.

Vanya had bought the Holy Knight level of the system from the store, making her proficient in both healing and battling. Only a few years after her ascension, she was invited to join the Moon Elves, which only a few Moonlight Elves had gotten before her.

The invitation was to indirectly join the family since Vanya had the bloodline of Moonlight Elves, which was immensely inferior to the blood of the Moon Elves. The treatment meted out to Vanya would be the same as any ordinary Moon Elves, meaning she was almost like royalty in the Moonlight Elf group.

There was also the option to marry a Moon Elf, but Vanya decided against it. She liked the life she was living and didn't want a partner, so she chose the option to join them with an ordinary treatment.

Soon after joining the Moon Elves, she joined the army since she liked battling as an effect of the Holy Knight. She had become one of the upcoming stars of the Moon Elves and had even been referred to by Ayana as one of her guards.

Unfortunately for Vanya, she failed to match the minimum cultivation requirement, so she wasn't selected but still participated in that competition, and to be referred to the ruler was unprecedented praise for a Moonlight Elf.

There were always battles occurring between different races, either due to resources or for the enjoyment of the rulers, and Vanya liked just that. The more she fought, the faster she grew, so wherever the Moon Elves were fighting, Vanya was there.

Early in the morning a few days ago, Vanya was in the midst of a battle, and it was going terribly for her due to an ambush attack from another enemy general. She would have lost or even died if not for one of her fellow generals from another race's help.

It was there that she came across the information about a mysterious store since the second general was a customer of the store.

After healing all her visible scars, Vanya took a deep breath and stepped forward. Without the marks, the stunning beauty of a Moonlight Elf showed. Even the worst-looking Elf had an above-average appearance, whereas Vanya was already one of the most beautiful Elves due to the holy aura of her power system.

As her beauty mesmerized those who were around her on the street, she finally reached the steps of the store. Before walking inside, she couldn't help but remember the last time she had come here.

That time, the store was in the middle of the void, and there was nothing but pitch darkness while the store looked like a broken hut from the outside.

Vanya couldn't help but feel slightly emotional as she remembered what her life was like before suddenly finding herself in front of the store's building.

She and her family were running to survive, but after the store, her destiny entirely changed. She not only completed her revenge but also made her father the Emperor of several universes.

Vanya didn't know what had happened to her parents after her ascension. But she never worried about them, as when she passed the tribulation, her father was already a peak Tao Palace cultivator, and many Immortals worked under him as part of the contract.

It had been years since Vanya had found herself feeling such emotions, so she took a while to calm down. When she finally calmed down, she stepped up the stairs and then entered the store.

The next moment, the view in front of her changed, and the sound inside the store rang in her ears. But Vanya didn't care for any of that. She looked at the familiar face sitting on a chair, looking back at her.

Even though Vanya had only reminisced about her past memories before entering the store, those memories still rushed through her head.

"Hello, I am Aakesh, the store owner."

"Follow me!"

***

"So, what do you want?" 

"I want my father to get healed," Vanya straightly responded.

"Any healer can heal your father," Aakesh responded.

"But, I don't have money. Even if I get money somehow, no one will try to treat my father due to the king," Vanya answered while tears started pouring out of her eyes.

"But you'll have to pay here too," Aakesh argued.

"I know, I'll pay with my body," Vanya hoarsely replied, clenching her fist.

***

"So, what is your decision?" 

"I want to buy the chip."

***

"What was that, store owner?" Vanya ignored everything Aakesh said.

"Oh, the eye, have you heard of Devas?" Aakesh casually asked.

Vanya nodded in response. "That eye is a Deva. They manage the contracts around the Multiverse," He casually said.

"De...va," Vanya responded slurringly.

"Did I just see a Deva?" She exclaimed in a whisper.

***

The memories related to the store flooded through her brain instantly making her feel the emotions again. This time, it didn't take long for Vanya to calm down.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward, approaching Aakesh.

Vanya noticed the two chairs next to Aakesh and the two beautiful women sitting there. From the one closest to Aakesh, Vanya felt danger, while the second gave her no such feeling.

Since they were the only ones sitting on the chair in the store other than Aakesh, she didn't stare at them for long so as not to offend them.

She then focused on the store owner. She could tell the physical differences between Aakesh at that time and the one she was seeing in the store since his skin was darker and he had also gotten bulkier and taller. As for the aura around him, it was still as mysterious as ever.
