The First Store System

“Should we request them to search for the details of the store and the mighty figure behind the store?” One of the Void beasts suddenly asked.

“I don’t have an issue with that, but what if it creates an issue,” Another Void beast chimed in and gave his response. “In the eyes of the mighty figure we are nobody despite being Void beasts since we’re from the Primal dimension, but the same couldn’t be said for them. After all, they rule the Sacred dimension and have enough strength to compete against Primordials,” She further added.

The power difference between the Void beasts and the inhabitants of the Primal dimension was already very wide, but when compared with the Void beasts from the Sacred dimension and its inhabitants, the Primal dimension couldn’t even compare.

The other Void beasts nodded, agreeing with her conjecture.

“Let’s wait before telling them. We don’t want to offend someone who may not have any goal against the Primal dimension,” A Void beast commented.

While the meeting between the eleven Void beasts were going on, Aakesh was relaxing on his chair.

Time flew by.

The six hours for the group of customers that had arrived in the morning was over, so the system forced them out one by one, depending on their entry sequence.

Lenna and her family were also part of that group, so the system forced them out too.

After exiting the portal room, the family members left the store using their supreme cards, while Lenna stayed behind.

She then approached Aakesh, who was relaxing on his chair.

Aakesh opened his eyes sensing an approach. He then looked up and found Lenna to be the source behind it.

“Store owner, do you know the exact location of the event?” Lenna respectfully asked Aakesh.

The event for which she had come here and then had become the regular customer of the store was going to occur today. Elasha could only divine that it would occur on the Mysterious peak around the Bisan Kingdom, but the area was so large that it would be like searching for a needle in the haystack.

“No!” Aakesh expressionlessly responded since everything he knew about the event was from either Lenna or Turta and Pucchi.

“Do you know the time at which it will begin?” Lenna asked another question. Her tone still respectful.

Time flew by.

After getting her answers Lenna left the store. They had decided to meet at the store closing time where Lenna would come with the other person in the group.

After Lenna left, Aakesh returned to his relaxation session since there was no customer.

Soon, the six hours of the first group of Esh clan members was also over, so the system forced them out one by one.

After their exit, the remaining meditating members of the Esh clan stood up and went to the portal room for their entries into the Panagea.

Another round of silence then fell on the store after the members of the Esh clan left the store using their supreme cards.

The silence in the store didn’t continue for long, as the sound of footsteps rang in the store.

Aakesh, as usual, ignored it. Later he had no choice but to open his eyes as he sensed the footsteps approaching him.

The next moment, Aakesh opened his eyes, looked at the owner of the footsteps, and couldn’t help but get surprised since it was a familiar figure, and only the second entry of the customer to the store.

It was the Angel disguised as a human girl that had arrived in the store once and had liked Panagea, but since the store was full, she had no choice but to leave.

After that day, this was the second time she entered the store.

(A/N: For more reference please refer to chapter 251.)

“Oh, you seem to have changed quite a lot,” She commented, seeing the change in Aakesh from her first entry to now.

Aakesh was going to respond when he suddenly felt a sense attempting to break his barrier. Aakesh felt as if he was standing behind a paper wall while an ocean tide was aiming to devour him.

The feeling didn’t continue for long as the system acted right away, and made the paper wall into a thick steel one. No matter what the intensity of the tide, it failed in breaching the wall.

“Eh!” The girl exclaimed in surprise, seeing her senses failing to peer through Aakesh’s barrier.

The girl then looked around the store as she had sensed an external force acting and stopping her senses from checking the store owner’s energy level.

The next moment, a smile spread across her face, as she found nothing and the situation felt interesting to her.

“Store owner, forgive me. I couldn’t control myself from checking out your level,” The girl then apologized to Aakesh for her misbehaviour.

Aakesh didn’t respond but expressionlessly stared at her.

[Host, do you want to ban her from the store?]

[Her actions don’t warrant an attack or punishment, but you can anytime ban her.]

The system informed Aakesh in his head. Checking the cultivation level was a pretty common occurrence in the Multiverse, so the Angel’s action didn’t get a counterattack from the system.

“No, leave it,” Aakesh responded.

If he were to kill customers for attempting to check his cultivation level, he would never get a higher-level customer.

The situation only arose today because of the vast power gap between the Angel and him.

The Angel was a subspecies of the race Yaksha, the third strongest race, and Angel were exclusive to the third dimension, so even the weakest of them had an unimaginable strength in the Primal dimension.

“Store owner, you remember me?” The girl asked, seeing Aakesh not saying anything in response to her actions.

Aakesh, in response to the question, expressionlessly nodded.

“Is there an empty portal left in Panagea?” The girl asked. When the last time she had come here, she had failed to get a spot in Panagea.

“No, you need to wait six hours,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

Even Aakesh felt sorry for the Angel for not getting a spot in Panagea despite coming days later and when the number of portals had grown severalfold.

As expected, the smile from the girl’s face disappeared and instead a disappointed look took its place.
