The First Store System

“How do you know about it?” Aakesh asked, as these things were so secretive that even the Emperor’s descendants had no idea about it.

At the same time, Aakesh also calculated the value of the ruin. If it somehow turned into a legacy ruin, Aakesh could make an amount that would even put the entire Primal dimension to shame. If it didn’t, even then, Aakesh would make enough to become the richest of the Primal dimension even if he were to pay the outrageous five thousand percent exchange rate to take the money outside.

(A/N: Aakesh doesn’t have to pay the exchange rate since he is the store owner.)

“You don’t have to know that,” The parasite scoffed, refusing to tell its source of knowledge.

Aakesh stopped asking the question about it after that since he had no interest in getting refused twice.

Aakesh then took a step forward and proceeded toward the door, which was on the verge of closing down. This time, it was all Aakesh and not the parasite.

Since Aakesh didn’t want to see whether the door would open twice or not after closing once, so he rushed and entered the place beyond the door, with it closing with a bang not long after.

After entering the space beyond the door, Aakesh took a look around to see where he was. Aakesh couldn’t help but get surprised as he found himself in the similar place he was before entering the door.

Not only the appearance of the place was familiar, but the amount of life force Aakesh had sensed from the trees around the door was also similar. Aakesh also didn’t find the woman he had selected anywhere, so he activated the skill.

The next moment, a blank screen appeared in front of him. It soon lightened up, and Bella and the scenery around her appeared on it.

It looked the same as the place where Aakesh was, so finding Bella from the screen could turn out to be a challenging task.

“Let’s go in that direction,” Aakesh was only thinking of a direction to select when the voice of the Anarchic Parasite rang in his head.

Aakesh ignored the parasite and chose another direction to proceed forward. The parasite only scoffed in response and fell silent in Aakesh’s head.

Aakesh didn’t care about the parasite, as his primary purpose behind coming here was to find which of the ten Emperors was linked with the place. Even he found those figures respectworthy since even in the actual world, only Devas were more powerful than them.

Time flew by.

Aakesh had no sense of direction and time here since he came across no different area other than the same jungle with the same set of trees.

Aakesh then focused on the screen, only to find Bella also traveling in a similar place without finding anything.

‘Are my skills working?’ Aakesh couldn’t help but question in his heart since the way the woman approached the door and entered the space; it seemed like it wasn’t her first time appearing here, but now on the screen, she was traveling randomly. In that case, either his intuition about the woman was incorrect, or his class skills weren’t working.

For not even a moment, Aakesh felt that his intuition was inaccurate, so only his class skill was wrong here.

Aakesh decided to ask the system about it since the system knew everything, and how could he not take advantage of it.

[Host, the rule here prohibits Watcher, so your skills aren’t of any use. If you want to gain the benefit of your candidate, you need to see the events from your eyes.]

As Aakesh had thought, his class skills weren’t working here. Aakesh did not feel surprised or disappointed since it was to be expected from a place set by one of the only ten Chaos-grade lifeforms to exist in the Panagea.

“Are you the leader of your race?” Acting against his character, Aakesh took the initiative to talk and asked the parasite.

“No, my mother is,” The Anarchic Parasite stayed silent for a few seconds, but in the end, it finally answered.

“What’s your mother’s level?” Aakesh then asked as he continued traveling.

“You don’t need to know that,” The parasite responded and refused to tell Aakesh.

Time flew by.

After traveling for god knows how long, Aakesh finally came across scenery different than the place he had been traveling for so long.

Aakesh had only taken a step forward when his feet froze on their own. It wasn’t Aakesh that had made the movement, but the parasite that had taken control of Aakesh.

Aakesh didn’t get angry with the parasite for the time being as he felt a pair of eyes locking on him.

Aakesh could only sense the eyes but not see who was the owner of the eyes.

“Even a weakling like you dare to enter this place! Just how much Panagea has regressed over these years?” The next moment, a voice filled with ridicule rang in Aakesh’s head.

Aakesh stayed silent and looked straight since he had no idea of where the owner of the voice and the pair of eyes was.

“When I tell you to run, run,” Suddenly, the voice of the parasite rang in Aakesh’s head. Its tone contained a hint of graveness to it.

“Leave,” The moment to escape never came as the pair of eyes regressed on their own while the voice told Aakesh to leave.

Aakesh didn’t leave straight away but waited at the spot for a few seconds, and only then did he move forward.

Around a few hundred meters away from Aakesh, a tiny creature had its eyes set on the direction of Aakesh.

If Aakesh were to be here, he would have recognized the race and would have gotten even more surprised than when he found the presence of an Anarchic Parasite.

“Has the era of the War begun?” The creature couldn’t help but mutter since it recognized Aakesh as an adventurer.

It had been here for countless years, but it still knew the things going on outside since it had no simple identity, but it was directly related to one of the ten Emperors who owned this ruin.
