The First Store System

[Host, should I punish Lily for cursing the system?]

After Lily’s cursing, the system’s voice rang inside the store for both Aakesh and Lily to hear.

“Huh!” Lily responded with a confused expression.

[The system takes anything related to the Host very seriously, so blaming the system for not caring for the Host’s security is a grave accusation.]

The system responded and told the reason behind asking such a question when it had never done things like this.

“No need,” Aakesh told the system as the system never joked, and he had no interest in letting it hurt Lily.

Lily’s mouth flew into a puff as she was disappointed with the system for even thinking of punishing her.

Aakesh could only smile wryly, feeling the disappointment around Lily. He then gently picked Lily up from his head and brought her to his eyesight.

He then gently flicked Lily’s head, making Lily hiss at Aakesh.

“Are you angry at me?” Aakesh smilingly asked and ruffled Lily’s fur.

“Yes,” Lily responded in her child-like voice and then attempted to jump away from Aakesh’s hand to her favorite place, his head.

“Here, I thought, I would take you with me to the ruin,” Aakesh smilingly responded and stooped his attempts to stop Lily from jumping.

Lily suddenly stopped in her attempts to leave Aakesh and then looked at him as her tiny eyes got bigger.

“You will take me?” Lily asked as she couldn’t believe what he said.

“Yes, but since you’re angry with me, let’s forget about it,” Aakesh replied and gently put Lily on his head.

After buying an Emperor-grade sword costing around nine hundred thousand superior Primal stones, the customer left the store.

Aakesh also stopped making fun of Lily and allowed her to come with him whenever he would leave for the portal and the world inside it.

“The boy died,” Lily commented after learning the story of Turta from Aakesh.

“Can you revive him?” Lily suddenly asked as she looked at Aakesh. Both were seated on their chairs.

“Yes, I have enough knowledge in the law of life u0026 death to revive someone,” Aakesh smilingly responded.

“So revive him?” Lily responded as she felt sad about what happened with the boy and how much misery he lived in?

Since her birth, Lily had been living with Aakesh in an isolated space where she has seen Aakesh’s unconditional love for her, so when she learned about the cruel way through which Turta died, she couldn’t help but feel sad for her.

“Are you sure?” Aakesh smilingly asked as he wanted to let the Multiverse judge the fate of the dead.

“Yes, the boy also deserves someone who loves him as you love me?” Lily responded straight away.

“Fine. You now only have two promises left from me,” Aakesh smilingly responded. He had promised Lily to complete three wishes for her, and now he was granting her first wish.

Lily had no problem with it, so she didn’t interrupt Aakesh and waited for him to go ahead and give a new life to the boy.

Seeing Lily having no problem with it, Aakesh snapped his fingers.

At the same time, the scene of the woman carrying her dead son emerged in his mind. Lily wanted to see someone loving Turta the same way he loved her.

So for Aakesh, a mother who got delusional yet didn’t let go of her dead son in hopes of rescuing him, there can be no better option than that.

Aakesh then stood up from his chair and disappeared from the store with Lily.

Somewhere in Kakot,

“Please give him peace, and if he has next life, give him a mother who can afford his treatment and not let him die,” The woman cried at the grave of his newborn son.

While both the woman and her father wept, the father tightly held his daughter’s shoulders.

Suddenly the grave of the boy started shining, shocking both the mother and her father.

“I am reviving your son. Give him as much love as possible.”

A child-like unfamiliar voice rang in the area as the soil started moving apart.

A few seconds later, the corpse of the boy appeared in full view of the duo of daughter and father, and with it, a rotten smell also emanated since the boy had died for days before the mother gave him a burial.

The next moment, a light green light covered the entirety of the boy’s corpse. His body started healing at a visible rate while minimal changes were also happening in the boy’s body structure.

A few seconds later, the healed boy presented itself in the eyes of both the mother and grandfather.

The mother and her father were kneeling, looking in the direction from where the voice came. They couldn’t see the appearance of their benefactors. They could only see a blurred dot floating in the air.

“The boy will open his eyes in ten seconds. Protect him this time,” The same child-like voice rang again, and the blurred dot in the sky disappeared.

The duo then turned their eyes around and saw a perfectly fine boy sleeping with an unexplainable peaceful expression while his clothes were torn and dirty due to the soil around him.

If the duo looked closely, they would see that there was a slight change in the appearance of the boy. But currently, they didn’t have the mood to focus on it, and they were only happy as the boy was about to open his eyes.

The mother rushed toward her son and gently picked him up when suddenly a cry rang in the area as the boy regained his consciousness.

“My boy, my boy!” The mother cried out as tears streamed down her cheeks.

The cries of the duo of mother and son rang in the area. The old man didn’t interrupt them and looked at his daughter with a smile and tears streaming down his cheeks.

Aakesh and Lily, who had erased their presence after the second call, returned to the store after the boy opened his eyes.

A/N: Many readers may not have liked the death of Turta, one reader even quit the story, but since I had no plans to spoil the revival of the boy, so I didn’t share that with the said reader.

Thanks for continuing and not quitting since the death of named characters hurt readers.
