The First Store System

“Didn’t Epocal Felines go extinct?” Lily asked in confusion when she saw someone other than her who was an Epochal Feline.

“I don’t know,” The creature responded. It then started shrinking down and stopped when it reached three-fourths the size of Lily.

The creature had been living here since it had opened its eyes, and it knew nothing about its race. It only recognized Lily as its ancestor as its bloodline not only resonated with her, but Lily’s bloodline made it tremble and feel an unquestionable reverence for it.

If the creature, the Epochal Feline just killed, had seen the feline’s appearance, it would have stopped chasing and knelt in front of the figure.

The Epocal Feline was the central ruler of the territory around here, just like the one Aakesh was on his way to meet.

Lily’s luck turned out to be better than Aakesh’s as she not only teleported into an area where the Epocal Feline was the central ruler but also only a few hundred territories away from the feline’s domain. So the Epocal Feline found Lily as soon as she appeared here.

Aakesh, on the other hand, appeared in a territory very far from the Primary domain, so he had to travel a lot before meeting the central ruler.

The Epochal Feline didn’t act straight away after the creature started chasing Lily because it wanted to test Lily’s strength. But when the creature attempted to hurt Lily, the feline couldn’t stand around and had to act, activating its skill, Epochal Fire.

Time flew by.

After having a conversation with the Epochal Feline, Lily got the knowledge of the world where she was. Even she felt surprised when she heard the extent to which the world went here and the status of the feline.

Despite being a central ruler, the Epochal Feline only had a basic grasp over the knowledge of the world, and there were many things that even terrorized it.

One second turned into a minute, minutes turned into an hour, hours turned into day, days turned into a week, weeks turned into a month, months turned into a year, and just like that, more than three decades had passed.

“I miss Aakesh,” Lily muttered after moving away from the gory scene. The next moment, she activated the skill Epocal Water. Water vapors started rising in the air. Lily controlled it, and the water fell on her, entirely cleaning her of the red blood.

In the past few decades, Lily’s strength had grown at an unprecedented rate due to being in life-threatening battles.

In her training, Lily trained with the Epochal Felines in both combat and skill use, but since she couldn’t die, the pressure of death didn’t force her to get better.

Here, Lily had the Epochal Feline and the system to protect her from death, but there were no revivals here, so every battle was to never reach the stage, which in turn made her potential explode.

“Ancestor, you would find him,” The Epochal Feline commented in response to Lily’s sadness.

Lily wasn’t the only one who learned from the Epocal Feline, but it also learned knowledge of the outside world from Lily. When it found out that Lily came from some other place, the shock felt by the feline couldn’t be described in words.

Lily also gave a name to the Epochal Feline since she didn’t have one. Lily named it Autumn.

Autumn liked the name Lily gave her, so that day, the smile hadn’t left her face for even a moment.

“Autumn, don’t intervene this early and wait for my call,” Lily told her as the opponent was on the verge of landing a hit on Lily, so Autumn acted before Lily needed help and tore apart the creature, creating a gory scene.

Since the naming session, Autumn had gotten very close to Lily, and it was also the reason she profusely wanted to meet Aakesh. She had seen how much Lily loved Aakesh, and she also wanted to know more about Aakesh after finding out about the outside world.

“Forgive me, ancestor. I would control myself from the next time,” Autumn sincerely apologized to Lily for her early intervention in the battle.

Lily didn’t say anything but only nodded in response to Autumn’s apology. Her eyes then fell on the corpse of the creature that was dissipating into particles at a visible rate.

“Rumble!”

Her tiny stomach made a rumbling sound as she felt hungry, seeing the meat. Before entering here, living with Aakesh had made her not aware of food since the energy inside the store made her fill all the time, resulting in no need for food for her.

But here, this wasn’t the case, and she got hungry for the first time in her life after traveling for more than four years. To satisfy Lily’s hunger, Autumn had hunted a creature spanning hundreds of meters and cooked it.

Eating the flesh for the first time made Lily aware of her race’s absolute carnivore tendencies for the first time, resulting in an unprecedented love of meat for her. Autumn had to hunt several creatures of the same size to make Lily feel full.

After that, she began eating an unprecedented amount of flesh compared with her body size once a year, and that day of this year was today.

Hearing Lily’s stomach rumble, Autumn understood what to do next.

The next moment, she disappeared from the spot, and when she appeared, there was a creature spanning tens of miles wide floating above her.

Lily licked her lips, seeing food.

Lily didn’t like to eat raw flesh as she found it disgusting, so Autumn cooked the creature using the fire from the skill, Epochal Fire.

In only a few seconds, the creature that could rampage around the Primal dimension turned into a loaf of cooked flesh due to the heat of the Epochal Fire.

Without even waiting for a moment, Lily jumped on the freshly cooked loaf of meat and started having bites that could have choked creatures larger than her in size.

Autumn did not need to eat for centuries due to her power level, so she silently waited for the dinner to end.

“Burp! Hey, system, where is Aakesh right now?” Lily burped in satisfaction after having her complete fill and asked the system about Aakesh’s whereabouts.
