The First Store System

Garoun face turned cold as he threw back the door.

The door crashed to the man entering the room. As if glass and rock had collided, the door immediately shattered into pieces.

Garoun skillfully dodged the sharp wooden pieces coming at him with unimaginable speed.

His sight then finally came across the intruder, and his eyes couldn't help but turn bigger as the intruder was none other than the non-demon.

In those pair of eyes, Garoun saw a calm cold enough to freeze even the snow. The next moment, Garoun roared in anger as he hated the sight of the eyes.

Garoun hated nothing more than someone undermining his existence. The conflict between him and the non-demon began due to this but seeing the pair of eyes having no emotion, as if Garoun was nothing but a bug waiting to be crushed, his veins popped out from anger.

"HOW DARE YOU?" Garoun roared and took the first action.

He fully released his energy and pounced like a maniac at Aakesh.

Aakesh's eyes remained the same as ever as he casually raised his hands and grabbed Garoun right in the air.

Garoun felt his blood reversing its flow as his movement came to a sudden halt. He couldn't help but cough out blood.

Some drops of blood flew toward Aakesh, but before they could reach him, an invisible barrier appeared between the two and vaporized the blood.

Garoun finally retained some of his sanity as he saw his situation. It hadn't even been a moment, but he had already lost the battle.

"Who are you?" He asked in horror as he could see the non-demon's level.

"Why did you plot against the store?"

Aakesh ignored the man's question and asked why he plotted against the store. He wasn't going to kill the mastermind behind his store, not even seeing a second shadow before finding out the reason behind the action.

As for the reason, whether it was justified or not, it had nothing to do with Aakesh. Even if he was wrong, which he rarely was, he didn't feel enough to care, let alone now, when he hadn't even started. At the same time, killing here would also cement his and the store's status.

Dread was the first step toward respect. The store had to start from the first path, and fear was the best way to establish his prestige quickly.

Garoun felt a chill crawling through his body as he heard the question. For some reason, he felt more dread at this moment than when he found himself getting defeated as casually as an adult defeats a bug.

"Are you thinking that I would apologize?" Garoun didn't act like this because of fear or some other sentimental reasons but because he was a crazy person.

The chilling sensation acted like pouring oil to fire as it awoke the crazy personality ingrained in Garoun's soul.

As he asked the question, he began to laugh out loud like a maniac.

Aakesh's eyes remained the same, but his empty hand moved. An energy ball in the shape of a needle appeared at the tip of his fingers.

Garoun's laughter stopped as the energy needle gave the man the feeling of death, but soon the craziness devoured the fear as his eyes looked at Aakesh with provocation asking, 'Do your best!'

Aakesh ignored the provocation and used the needle; he wrote the question in the Vurron's native tongue on his skin.

Garou felt his skin dissolving as the needle wrote on it. But when he looked at his hands, nothing happened to them except the appearance of the question. Garoun didn't doubt his sense as the pain was real.

Aakesh then looked into Garoun's eyes while raising his other hand.

The next moment, his short finger came down, followed by the next finger, and when all the five fingers had come down, it turned into a fist.

The question that was ingrained in his hands began to move up slowly. It looked impossible, but Garoun saw the wound move up from his own eyes.

At the same time, Aakesh wrote the question on his other hand.

The wound stopped moving when it had reached the arm on both sides. At this time, Garoun's entire body was wet with sweat as he had never gone through the pain as he did only in a moment today.

Aakesh then looked at him again while he raised his hand. This time, his short finger was touching the palm right from the start while only the four fingers were in the air.

Garoun understood what it meant, but he wasn't one to give up due to torture. Giving up would be akin to losing his pride, and he was never going to lose his pride to a non-demon.

When Aakesh's hand turned into a fist again, Aakesh repeated the process of engraving the question. This time, he chose both his legs.

***

A crazy smile was spread across Garoun's face with the same provocation as he looked at Aakesh, raising his hands while only his thumb was in the air.

<o>,m During this time, the question imprinted itself across each part of his body, moving toward his heart.</o>

As the thumb came down and created the last fist, Aakesh began to write the question on Garoun's forehead, using the needle.

"ARGH!!!"

A heart-rending scream echoed in the room for the first time as the needle moved on the pattern of a thorn engraved in the area between Garoun's eyebrows.

Garoun's eyes looked like they would burst out as the pain he was currently feeling was several times more intense than the combined pain he had felt up to now.

Ignoring the scream, Aakesh continued writing the question. The people outside the building had pale faces as the cry was enough to terrorize the soul. They didn't even dare to imagine just what was the thing that made someone scream so much.

After the process of engraving the question on Garoun's forehead ended, several of Garoun's veins exploded.

Garoun's eyes began to lose their luster, but the provocation never disappeared. Seeing the man not giving up despite feeling the worst pain possible for a Vurron, Aakesh decided to end Garoun's life.

His eyes remained the same as ever as the needle in his hands turned into a ball the size of a tennis ball.

Aakesh then flicked the ball, and it crashed into the remaining pattern of the thorn in Garoun's brows.

The next moment, the ball expanded and devoured the entirety of Garoun. Soon after, only Aakesh remained in the room. All the proofs of Garoun's existence in the Sacred dimension disappeared with the dissipation of the energy.
