The First Store System

After the thousand hours of the Chimera’s training in the Gods & Demons level training area was over, the system forced it out.

The next moment, the system transferred the Chimera to an isolated space where it could calm its energy down after having a sudden return to the body with a more powerful consciousness.

When everything had calmed down, the system retrieved the Chimera back to the store. While all this happened, only the system was aware the Chimera didn’t even find out that it had seen two space transfers in a short amount of time.

The Chimera had a cold face as it looked at itself after exiting that hell where deaths seemed nothing.

Before entering the training area, the Chimera had a calm expression when it was doing nothing. But after entering the training area, that calm got an upgrade, and it became cold as chilling. If anyone were to see the Chimera’s eyes right now, they would feel as if they were standing in an ice storm, wearing nothing.

It then controlled itself and hid the chilly expression so no one would be caught unaware of a terrible situation inside the store or outside.

The Chimera wanted to go back to the training area since it hadn’t defeated the Void beast. But it remembered that Aakesh had told it that the entry into the Gods & Demons level training area was limited to one entry per year per person, so it didn’t ask Aakesh after leaving the weapons room.

“Store owner, I want to go to the Panagea,” The Chimera requested Aakesh after approaching him.

It had shown interest in two products after hearing the introduction of the store products, but now that it had already used and liked the training area, it was time for it to check on Panagea.

“You have to wait for three hours,” Aakesh expressionlessly replied and pointed at the people already meditating in the store’s hall.

The Chimera had ignored the group of people when it had appeared here, but now that it looked at them, it found around a thousand people meditating in the store. But when the Chimera focused further, he found the number of figures growing at an exaggerated rate. In the end, there were more than seventy million people meditating and waiting for their turn to arrive in Panagea.

The Chimera had enough strength and prestige to force its way to wherever it wanted, but here it had no choice but to wait if it wanted to enter Panagea. Eris may not have told the Chimera anything about the store, but he had warned it not to indulge in anything that may offend the store owner.

The Chimera had not taken Eris’s warning in its heart at first, but after entering the store, the threat level it had for the blue-skinned store owner grew even higher than what Eris felt about the store owner. The Chimera then got ready to proceed toward the queue of tens of millions of people already waiting.

“You can buy these cards, and then you can enter Panagea without asking my permission,” Aakesh suddenly told the Chimera as it was getting ready to leave and join the queue for the second round of entry into Panagea.

The Chimera then heard about the three cards the store had to offer. It then nodded and bought a supreme card since one supreme Primal stone was nothing for it.

It then took out one supreme Primal stone from its pocket space and handed it to Aakesh.

Aakesh expressionlessly took the Primal stone and threw it at the black hole, always waiting to devour the stones. He then pressed the switch related to the supreme card.

Not long after, a silver card appeared in Aakesh’s hands.

Time flew by.

The six hours for the first group of customers were complete, so the system forced them out one by one, depending on the sequence of their entry.

While the customers were exiting the Panagea, more than a hundred million customers were waiting for their entry into Panagea. Some had excited expressions, while some had grave faces. Some were going to win big today, while some were also going to face losses.

Panagea was similar to how the real world worked except for its ability to grant unlimited lives to the adventurer, so everyone faced different challenges to proceed in their lives.

Some time later, the portal room had turned empty as all the more than one hundred twelve million customers had exited the Panagea. Aakesh then gestured toward the second group to take their entry, and in no time, only a few people remained in the store’s hall, while all the customers who arrived first and secured their spot in the virtual portal entered the Panagea.

“The store sells three products…,” Aakesh was introducing the store products to a new customer that had just arrived.

The customer intently listened to the product’s introduction since she had come here after one of her brothers referred her to the store.

The girl’s eyes grew bigger and shone with stars as she heard about the Panagea.

“For a store that sells such great things, don’t you think you have too few products,” The girl couldn’t help but Aakesh after he concluded the store product’s introduction.

The reason the girl asked Aakesh this question was that the store only sold three products, but each of them was the best in their product line, so she was also being greedy, hoping for the store to have even more such products that were the best of the best in the Primal dimension.

“The store would have its fourth product in the near future,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded. After the quest completed the requirement of selling a billion weapons, the system would reward the store with an additional product. Since there were still around thirty million weapons left to sell, Aakesh didn’t tell the girl a fixed time, but instead, he used the near future. The near future could be anything from one day to one year.

The girl nodded and then asked about Panagea. She had only entered the customer for the first time, so how could she waste her time thinking about the fourth product.

Aakesh then pointed toward the already waiting customers for the third group entry into Panagea and told her about the queue.
