The First Store System

“Someone wants to meet you,” Lilith suddenly told Aakesh.

Aakesh wanted to ask for that someone’s identity, but before he could do so, Aakesh found the sight in front of him darkening.

Soon, light returned to his eyes. If not for Aakesh’s strong sight, he would have failed to see the darkness; such was the speed at which he got teleported to a new area.

“Eh!” Aakesh exclaimed in surprise as he found that Lily was nowhere. Only he and Lilith had teleported here.

***

“Who was that person?” Lily concerningly muttered since the girl and Aakesh had suddenly disappeared while she was still floating in the air.

The sudden arrival of Lilith and then the disappearance of her with Aakesh was seen by everyone present here since those two was the only one standing straight.

The individuals didn’t have a particularly strong reaction, but the central rulers had shocked faces as they knew about the rules inside the ruler’s territory. They had no restrictions on anything, but space was sealed for everyone other than the ruler.

So when the central rulers saw someone strangely appearing and disappearing out of nowhere, they couldn’t help but murmur.

Autumn and Katrina looked at each other and could see the concern in their eyes as they had already bet on Aakesh to leave the continent. It would be stupid of them to think for even a moment that the ruler didn’t have any idea about it. She controlled the entirety of the Conspiracy continent since she was the only direct descendant of ‘Him’, and she was also the only existence that had talked with ‘Him’ or seen ‘Him’.

“Where is that someone who wanted to meet me?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked Lilith as it had been several seconds since he had appeared here, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

Aakesh already had an idea of the identity of the person, but he didn’t show it to Lilith and acted as if he was unaware of the creator.

“You don’t need to act. I already know you have some ideas about my identity.”

Suddenly a voice echoed in the area, bringing a look of knowing smile to Lilith’s face, while Aakesh remained expressionless.

On the inside, Aakesh had a surprised expression as even the system didn’t read his thoughts, but the being in front of him had read them.

“Hey, system, why didn’t you stop him from reading my thoughts?” Aakesh asked the system in his head.

Aakesh didn’t have to worry about the being reading his thoughts at this time. Since the conversation between him and the system happened in the deepest part of his consciousness, which was fully protected, he wouldn’t be able to read it. Even if he somehow went past the protection provided by the system and his mysterious bloodline, the words he would hear would be incomprehensible. If he still succeeded in comprehending them, he would forget them the next moment. If he succeeded in even remembering them, the words Aakesh had spoken would explode, resulting in a dangerous situation rising inside the being’s consciousness.

[Host, the current strength system doesn’t have enough strength to stop ‘His’ intruding. Please upgrade the store level for the system to grow!]

What the system said next sent shockwaves through Aakesh’s body. He still succeeded in masking those thoughts, but Lilith, who was standing next to her, clearly felt the change.

Aakesh had no time to check on her, but instead, he focused on what the system had said. It was the first time, Aakesh had heard from the system that it was weak to resist. Aakesh also noticed that the system had referred to him as ‘Him’, just like other central rulers, which was no less shocking than the first information.

“Does that mean he could hear our conversation?” Aakesh had several questions on his mind, but he decided to ask the most prominent one.

[No, Host!]

The system responded in its usual mechanical and emotionless voice. Aakesh heaved a sigh of relief since he didn’t want anyone to know how extraordinary the system he had with him was.

“No need to feel worried in front of me. I won’t harm you,” The same voice rang again in the area as it also caught the sudden change of expression in Aakesh.

The conversation between system and Aakesh was long. But it didn’t take even a septillionth of a second, as he used his unlimited intelligence to ensure that he asked multiple questions. At the same time, he understood what the system answered.

Aakesh finally stopped conversing with the system and looked in front of him. The being wasn’t there, but since Aakesh couldn’t see where he was, he chose the front direction.

“How are you alive?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked.

After conversing with Aakesh, his conjectures were true, and the identity of the being in front of him could not only shake the Primal dimension but the Multiverse. Aakesh still decided to ask the most significant question without fearing the being. If the person wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t even know how he died; such was the power difference between the duo. And Aakesh also didn’t feel fearful of the identity for some reason.

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to ask me this. Don’t you know, no one likes to talk about their defeat,” In response, the voice rang, and with it, a sense of undefeatable pressure appeared, coercing Aakesh to kneel.

Even though the difference between the pressure released by the ruler and the being’s casual statement was like heaven and earth, Aakesh still remained unfazed. Whenever the pressure would force Aakesh to kneel, his bloodline would act and make it calm for him.

Aakesh only grew more curious about his identity after today.

“Haha, nothing less expected of @
