The First Store System

Chapter 1237: Vanya(2)

"Hello, store owner," Vanya respectfully greeted Aakesh with a bow to her waist.

"Hello, Vanya," Aakesh responded. Vanya was the first customer of the store, so everything began with her, and hence she deserved a response back more than other customers from the first phase.

Vanya couldn't help but smile when he heard the store owner know her name. It had been tens of thousands of years since she came to the store.

"It feels great to see you again," Vanya commented. She then asked about the store's products.

She was never much of a talker after what happened to her in the Ithaviel Kingdom. As her strength grew, her character, instead of reverting to her past bubbly self, intensified even further. So she immediately came to her purpose after the successful greeting and didn't spend time talking about her experiences with Aakesh.

The Holy Knight system belonged to the maze system and granted her fast growth; hence, she had reached the peak Supreme God stage but was still short of stepping into the next level.

There were a few customers that came to the store thousands of years after her and had already stepped into the Sacred King stage, with two even stepping into the Sacred Emperor stage. Even if Vanya knew about that, she wouldn't feel much disappointment. At the same level of cultivation, only a select few would be able to combat her without instantly losing.

Her cultivation speed wasn't the quickest, but her stability and fighting intuition were among the best due to the Holy Knight system.

"The store currently sells six products. They are pills, weapons, beasts, skills, cultivation arts, and Panagea.

"For the pill, the lesser, higher, and king grade pills are available in thirty different types…

…

"… these are the products currently available in the store," Aakesh introduced all six products and their basic details to Vanya.

Before coming here, Vanya wasn't aware of the store's products since after learning about the store, she had directly rushed here, not even thanking her comrade for saving her.

Vanya was the type who lived on battles since they were directly responsible for her growth, so the training area interested her more than other products.

"Store owner, tell me more about the training area," Vanya requested Aakesh.

Aakesh nodded and then explained the details of the training area and its difficulty levels in detail.

Vanya wasn't much surprised when she learned about the primordial level training area, unlike the majority of the customers. A product she had only bought for one hundred and eight supercluster cores was still working for her when even a product worth millions of times more in value wouldn't even come close to the benefit of the Holy Knight chip. Vanya believed that when there was something like that in the store, it was the store that changed her destiny.

"Store owner, I want to book one hour of Primordial level training area for the Master King grade sword," Vanya requested Aakesh. 

"You need to pay one supreme Sacred stone," Aakesh still went ahead with the price announcement even though Vanya had already taken the stone out.

The next moment, the stone disappeared from the store and appeared in the system's space while Aakesh explained the entry process to Vanya.

"Thank you, store owner," Vanya thanked Aakesh, turned around in the direction of the room pointed at by Aakesh, and walked forward.

After Vanya left, another customer took her place, and Aakesh got busy there.

As Vanya stepped inside the room, her eyes fell on the countless murals painted across the wall. She couldn't help but marvel at that scene since the murals contained skill concepts that were reachable yet far from the majority of the weapon users.

Vanya's eyes searched for the murals related to swords, and since the pillar related to the sword was in the innermost circle, Vanya finally found it. Vanya was a firm believer in brutal strength.

Looking at her physique, she may not seem like someone who focused on physical strength, but others would be in deep trouble if they battled her without thinking that.

As Vanya was looking around the sword murals, her eyes finally landed on one where a sword user was using nothing but brutal strength to crush their opponent.

Time seemed to have slowed down for her as she stood there blankly looking at that mural. In that painting, a creature belonging to a race Vanya had no idea about, used an enormous broadsword to slash an entire army.

The move seemed simple to look at, but those who believed in strength swordsmanship would be able to tell how difficult it was to reach that stage. One less ounce of strength would cause the slash to stop in the middle, while one more would cause the slash to fail.

Time flew by, and Vanya finally returned to her senses. Her body was wet with sweat as if she were the one facing that slash.

Vanya tried to think of ways to survive the slash, but she didn't even find a single chance of dodging the strike.

New knowledge about that swordsmanship seemed to appear in her mind. She tried to catch that knowledge but was too slow to even look at it, let alone catch it.

Even though Vanya learned nothing, she was still grateful that she got to see such a wonderful strike. Vanya then tried to feel the same feeling from other murals, but she failed.

After a futile attempt for the umpteenth time, Vanya gave up on looking at the murals and returned her focus to the primary reason for her entering the room.

Since she was close to the pillar due to the murals, it only took a few more steps for her to reach it. The next moment, she placed her finger on the tiny needle, as the store owner had told her.

The next moment, a prickling pain attacked her. It was nothing in comparison to what she had faced when signing the contract, so she didn't flinch. The following second, a transparent, golden energy barrier appeared around her body while her eyes turned blank.
