The First Store System

Aakesh activated the skill, Energy Overseer, for the first time since he had rarely come across such situations.

The next moment, the view in front of him entirely changed.

Previously, there was only a point floating in the air without any support. But now that Aakesh could see through energy, instead of the entry point, he could see several dots of different colors combined together.

“Eh!” Aakesh couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

The reason for Aakesh’s exclaiming in surprise wasn’t noticing something special, but it was the ordinariness of the point.

The different dots of light represented the various elements of the Multiverse, and after joining together in a particular composition, they had given birth to a world.

The scene Aakesh saw through the skill Energy Overseer; If Aakesh were to activate the skill and look at any ordinary world, he would still see the similar scenery.

“Hey, system, is the skill also facing resistance?” Aakesh couldn’t help but ask the system since he wasn’t sure whether what he saw was the actual view or his inability.

[Host, the skill is working perfectly fine!]

The next moment, the system’s mechanical and emotionless response rang inside Aakesh’s head.

A glint passed through Aakesh’s eyes after hearing the system’s response.

If his skill showed him the actual view, it meant that there was nothing special about the world created by the ruler. Even Aakesh felt awed by the ruler’s strength to create a world filled with unknowns using nothing but the similar composition of elements used in the creation of any ordinary world.

‘It’s going to be fun,’ Aakesh thought in excitement as he couldn’t wait to see what the world had in store for him when there was nothing special about its creation.

“Are you ready?” Aakesh then asked Lily, seated comfortably on his head after deactivating the skill, Energy Overseer.

“Yes,” Lily answered in her childlike voice. Her tone also contained excitement. For entering this world, she had gone through so much suffering for a year. She couldn’t wait to use the fruit of her training.

“I would contact you and Katrina after I will reach the ruler’s territory,” Aakesh then looked at Autumn and told her.

“I will wait for your call,” Autumn answered. “Stay safe. You have too much on your stake,” Autumn added and wished him good luck.

Aakesh only nodded. He then again focused on the point and lightly tapped on it using his index finger.

The next moment, the point started expanding as the space around it started cracking.

The cracked space shards fell to the ground, but before they could touch the land, an invisible force would arrive and disintegrate them.

The next moment, a suction force stronger than anything Aakesh or Lily could face appeared and sucked them in.

“Let’s hope our efforts don’t come to naught,” Autumn mumbled as the space started closing down. The memory of 180+ years of training then passed in her head.

Autumn then disappeared from the area.

Not long after Autumn had left, a single eye appeared in the sky as it glanced where once the space portal was.

“The game has finally begun,” A figure seated in the dark murmured. The figure’s tone contained playfulness as they looked at the screen playing the scene of the space crack sucking Aakesh and the cat.

“The clock has begun. Are you sure you would give Aakesh an audience?” Lilith smilingly asked as she had just seen Aakesh entering the space crack.

“Yes! If he succeeds in crossing the world in 50 years, then I would give him an audience,” The figure seated in the dark responded.

“Things are going slower than we anticipated,” Lilith’s face turned solemn as she commented.

“Not for long,” The figure seated in the dark replied.

Lilith then focused on the screen that played Aakesh’s every action since he had entered the portal.

“Don’t disappoint me,” Lilith mumbled as she had a great number of expectations for Aakesh and was hoping that he would clear the world in less than fifty years.

The figure seated in the dark heard Lilith’s mumbling even though the distance between them was considerable, but the figure didn’t reply and closed their eyes.

“Hoho, things have gotten very interesting,” A figure seated in a vast hall adorned with myriads of exotic material laughingly commented.

“Your majesty, should we act?” A figure seated on a chair on the left side of the throne asked. The figure had worn a mask, but from what their voice sounded, it seemed to be a female.

“Why?” The figure seated on the central throne and referred to as majesty asked.

“Your majesty, things may go out of control as they did in the past,” The figure responded with her voice containing the same composed tone.

“Haha, If it gets out of control, then let it. Things have become too peaceful now. My body can’t handle this torture of peace,” The figure seated on the throne stood up as it laughingly responded.

The figure’s appearance also presented itself after they stood up.

The person being referred to as ‘Your Majesty’ was a female. She had golden hair that touched the ground below her feet. Every strand of her had a splendor of countless suns, giving the figure a divine look.

Even though she was a female, her body would put a burly man to shame, and yet it, instead of giving her a manly appearance, added to her beauty.

“Your majesty, a person of your caliber, you shouldn’t say things like this,” One of the figures seated on the right side of the throne couldn’t help but remind the figure that she was the ruler and she couldn’t demand for chaos.

“Hmph,” The figure scoffed and sat back on the throne. She then focused on the screen. Her eyes started shining, and a beautiful smile spread across her face as she saw Aakesh appearing in the world after getting sucked in by the space crack. She then also muttered something which was incomprehensible to others seated in the hall.

Unaware his every move was being watched by creatures across the Multiverse, Aakesh appeared in the world created by the ruler.

Instead of checking on his surroundings, Aakesh checked his head right after opening his eyes in this world.
