The First Store System

The sun rose in Visteerna, and with it, light dispersed the darkness spread over the world. The day was going to be fortunate for some but also tragic for some.

With the emergence of the sunlight, a store spread in Kakot, the capital city of the Bisan Kingdom, opened its door for the customers.

The number of people waiting for it to open had reached the mark of tens of millions, creating a chaotic scene. Yet there was a calm and serene feeling to it as not even a single person attempted to make noise or make a scene. They all had excited expressions as they looked at the door opening as if behind the gate hid the item of their dreams.

***

Aakesh opened the store after sunrise, and as usual, he came across the sight of millions of people waiting to enter the store.

Aakesh didn’t let them wait anymore and moved away from the gate as he turned around and went to his chair. The customer waiting poured into the store like a raging tide. If anyone were to fall down, even their ashes wouldn’t be left, but nothing of such sort happened, and all the customers appeared in the store, making the few thousand miles long ground empty.

The majority of the customers owned one of the three cards, so they straight away went to the portal room as if even the waste of one second was too big of a loss to take for them.

Those who didn’t own any of the three cards went to Aakesh one by one as they paid for their six-hour service in Panagea.

Since Aakesh was only a Level 1 Store-Owner, he could only get a one percent commission over any product sale, except for the training area. Despite getting a measly one percent of the commission, Aakesh had become the wealthiest man in the Bisan Kingdom after he had been continuing the store for the past more than fifty-one years.

A few seconds later, only Aakesh remained in the store as all the customers had entered the portal room, making more than one hundred and ten million virtual portals active.

Aakesh then decided to check the quest he had been doing for the past several decades.

The next moment, two blue screens appeared in front of him. The big one displayed the details of the quest, while the small one contained the progress he had made all these years.

Aakesh couldn’t help but feel excited after seeing the progress he had made in the quest. Except for the requirement of selling a billion weapons, the store had fulfilled all other conditions. The store had even completed all the options in the training customers and training hour section when he only needed to achieve one.

Even in the weapons section, Aakesh only needed to sell one more, and the quest he had been doing for so many decades would be over. As a rare moment, Aakesh couldn’t help but feel hurried since the store would get a new product finally after so many years.

Aakesh also felt disappointed as if he had checked the quest yesterday, he would have made efforts to sell one weapon, resulting in the store having a new product today, and he wouldn’t have to wait or feel rushed.

Aakesh then waved his hands since the more he looked at the screens: the more hurried he felt for that last weapon to get sold.

The next moment, the light particles started moving away from the bigger screen. In no time, it disappeared, and not long after, the same process occurred, resulting in the progress screen vanishing, waiting for Aakesh to call it again.

Aakesh then waited for a customer, no matter whether they were new or regular, to enter the store so that he could sell some weapons.

Aakesh wait didn’t last long as a customer arrived in the store. It was a regular Panagea customer that had gotten late by some seconds for a personal reason. The customer still arrived late as she wanted to join the queue for the second group. Wasting a day in Panagea was too big of a deal for her.

The customer couldn’t help but shudder as it witnessed the expressionless gaze of Aakesh, which was the first occurrence for her. If there were anyone else, she would have thought that the person was a creep, but even a child living in the Bisan Kingdom knew about the indifference of the mysterious blue-skinned store owner toward others.

The female customer could sense that the store owner needed something from her, so even before Aakesh could call her, she approached him.

“Hello, store owner,” The girl smilingly greeted Aakesh. She couldn’t hide the nervousness in her voice since she had seen the respectful way in which even the King of the Bisan Kingdom acts in front of the store owner.
