The First Store System

Maria looked shocked as she found the store card behind the sudden emergence of the blinding light.

Maria didn't want anything to happen to the space ring, so she hurriedly took out the card.

The battle on the other side had also come to a halt as the blinding light took everyone's attention. It was majestic because only light existed within a few meters of it.

Maria heaved a sigh of relief as the space ring returned to normal after she took the card out. The warm sensation that had been giving her body's cells energy ended at the same time.

While Maria didn't reach her peak, she did recover at least 10% of her total energy reserves.

The card began to float in the air as the light released from it began to expand at an outrageous rate.

In no time, the area of a few hundred meters around Maria had turned into a bright zone.

The group's leader had a grave face as he looked at the card. He could sense an extreme sense of danger from it.

The leader didn't look left or right and hurriedly left the area as he thought of the card to be some explosive device. The threatening and majestic energy leaking from the light further added to the conjecture, and he left without caring for the life of the remaining group members.

The beats also had the same reaction as they also began running around, forgetting about the battle.

Maria, on the other hand, remained on the ground as a new piece of information appeared in her head.

The blinding light suddenly began to dim down, and soon after, the projection of a building appeared in place of it.

As the projection in front of her resembled the store in the Primal Dimension, Maria's heart almost skipped a beat.

'If you enter through the projection, you will reach the store.'

The next moment, a piece of information appeared in her head. Maria grew excited, but not long after, another statement rang in her mind.

"Your location is too far from the maximum limit of the card, so you could only reach that distance. From there on, you will have to travel to the store on your own."

Maria, who had reached heaven straight from on the verge of death, returned back to the earth after hearing the second statement.

The beast around the projection had begun to calm down as they focused on it. No matter what the level of the beast was, they could sense that the projection in front of them was something that could change their destiny.

One of the beasts charged toward the projection; its eyes had turned red from greed, but the next moment, the beast simply passed through the projection.

Maria's heart had almost come out of her mouth as she saw the beast charging at the projection, but the next moment, she heaved a sigh of relief as the beast didn't teleport.

Maria understood that only she could transfer using the projection, so before the group of pursuers sensed that nothing was wrong, she needed to leave.

As soon as Maria made up her mind, she hurriedly stood up and charged toward the projection. It was only one step away from her, but still, she felt as if she was crossing several thousand miles at that moment.

A sudden sense of danger attacked Maria, but she was in no mood to turn around, and her hands finally touched what should be the projection.

A spear came rushing through the spot where Maria was a moment before, but now there was nothing but empty air. Maria and the projection both vanished from the scene.

Maria gasped for breath as she found herself in an unfamiliar area. She took a cautious look around, only to discover that she was in the middle of nowhere.

There was still a look of relief on Maria's face, as she was only moments away from death a few moments earlier. Even though this was the middle of nowhere, she was still alive.

She had a complex expression in her eyes as well because the store had once again saved her.

'Planet Curiel, The Fawkes Kingdom, Thorr City, Seventeenth Street!'

"7,128,973,982,827 light years from your current location!"

Before Maria could completely understand the turn of events, the familiar mechanical voice rang in her head.

Maria understood the meaning of both messages. The first message must be the location of the store in the Sacred dimension, while the second one told her the distance between her and the store.<novelnext></novelnext>

Maria felt a sense of helplessness when she saw the distance between her and the store. She didn't even dare imagine how long it would take her to cover the distance if she started right now.

Several seconds passed as Maria stood still, without making any movement. A sound of a sigh rang through the area as Maria finally moved.

'Let's find some civilization first,' Maria thought in her heart since she couldn't just stand here and waste time thinking about how far she was from the store.

Maria wasn't the only one who felt a reaction from the store card after the card machine activated in the Sacred dimension. All the customers who were in the Sacred dimension originally or had ascended felt this reaction from the card.

Galaxy Aurora was one of the countless galaxies spread across the Sacred dimension. It was one of many, but it still stood out in the entire dimension since it was the home of one of the top races of the Sacred dimension, the Sun Elves.

Galaxy Aurora was full of sparkling, golden stars that shimmered in the vast expanse of space.

Galaxy Aurora was one of the many strongholds of the Sun Elves, but since this was the place where the royal family lived, it was more extraordinary than others.

Although the galaxy Aurora was larger than other galaxies and covered several quadrillion light years, it was only home to eleven habitable planets, and the remaining stars were all golden in color.

Elysium was one of those places among those eleven planets.

Elysium was home to only a few hundred people. Out of those few hundred people, the majority were servants or guards, while only one royal family member lived there.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sounds of continuous metallic clashes rang in the area as arrow after arrow clashed with each other.

William and Elle were battling each other. William's level was lower than Elle, so she controlled her strength to his level, and then they both tested the limits of their available strength.

It had been several days since William and Elle returned to the Sacred dimension. Only several days had passed, but the duo missed the store as if they hadn't entered Panagea for several thousand years now.

When William left for the Primal dimension, he was only a child, but staying there for several centuries helped him mature. While his cultivation stagnated all this time because he was in a lower dimension, his strength grew by leaps and bounds.

William was already the most talented Sun Elf in the race after Asquith, so the store only added to his talent.

The Sun Elves were one of the top races of the Sacred Dimension, so its strength was no joke. Even a newborn in the race had cultivation above the Divine Lord level.

William, who was the most talented member of the race after the founder, was born with a cultivation level exceeding the True God cultivation level.

Above True God, the next level was Lesser God, above it was Higher God, and above it was Supreme God.

William was born with an early Higher God level cultivation, while the majority of the royal members were born with an early True God level cultivation.

William had returned to the clan as he had his family's legacy in front of him. So William would spend the entire day learning clan knowledge and race-exclusive skills, while at night, he would train in archery with Elle.

Elle had won the last victory in the bet made by both of them in the Primal dimension, so William was preparing for the time when the store arrived in the Sacred dimension.

Tonight was their usual battle as Elle reduced her cultivation to intermediate Higher God, matching William's cultivation level, and they battled. They only battled with their skills.

Elle's cultivation had long surpassed even the Supreme God level, so despite reducing her cultivation to match William's, he didn't seem to match her. Despite that, Elle didn't take it easy since she could see William improving with every battle. She was as competitive as William, so she didn't want to lose to him at a similar cultivation level.
