The First Store System

Chapter 795: Approaching the End(10)

Hearing Aakesh’s words, Elasha felt a rumble in her head.

The next moment, a wry smile appeared on her face as she thought, ‘How could I get so attached to one of the cultivation resources that I even thought of obstructing my growth?’

“Thank you, store owner,” Elasha’s face had turned red as she bowed and sincerely thanked Aakesh.

Elasha then bought Ascendance-grade mental healing pills. Elasha was embarrassed with herself. Despite living for so long, she had forgotten the most basic tenet of cultivation, ‘Cultivation means cultivating strength!’.

“Store owner, I will meet you in the Sacred dimension,” Elasha paid for the pills using her supreme card and told Aakesh.

Aakesh only nodded in response to Elasha’s newly-gained enthusiasm. Elasha then turned around and left the store since she had already completed her stay in Panagea for the day.

Elasha’s determination to ascend had grown to a never-before-felt intensity after conversing with Aakesh. Facing embarrassment was never good, so Elasha postponed her ascendance day, and she would cultivate her mind until that day.

Elasha would stay on her word as she didn’t come to the store after that day.

Around a month after the conversation, Elasha left her meditation, and that day, she completed her ascension with even better records than the previous highest record holder.

Elasha completed sixteen rounds of destruction and reformation, ascending like a genius to the Sacred dimension.

These things would happen in the future, so after Elasha left the store, Aakesh began another of his relaxation session.

The day continued to pass by as Aakesh relaxed while Jonnha handled the customers.

It had been around ten hours since the store opened for the day. There were still several hours left before sunset. Aakesh was currently approached by a new customer since Jonnah was busy in Panagea.

It was a new customer. The customer in question was a man, and his name was Orion.

Orion was an inhabitant of the Bisan Empire, and his family had been part of it since the time of Punta, the founder of the Bisan Kingdom.

Orion came from an average family, so his family wasn’t wealthy enough to have land within Kakot after it became an Empire. The earlier part of the land they held, they sold it to earn some money.

Since the family wasn’t wealthy, not every family member could visit the mysterious and legendary store. Orion had to save for around a decade, and only after that was he able to save enough to buy something from the store that he wanted.

Orion was a man in his late thirties, but he looked to be in his mid-forties. It had to do with the hard work he had been doing over the past years.

“He-hello, store ow-owner,” Orion’s voice slightly trembled as he greeted the store owner.

As Aakesh looked at him, Orion felt pressure falling on him. Orion gritted his teeth to calm his mind since he understood that the pressure was psychological and his own creation.

Aakesh could see the new customer’s struggle, but he didn’t act and let it be. It was a way for the man to grow psychologically.

Time flew by.

Orion failed to completely calm his raging mind and pounding heart, but he had reached a state where he was able to speak his words, even though it all came out slightly trembling.

Orion already had the store product he wanted in his mind, so after Aakesh completed the introduction, he requested the product with a slight tremble that he wasn’t able to make it go away.

“St-store owne-r, I wa-want to enter the moderate level difficulty training area for a rare-grade wea-weapon.”

Aakesh expressionlessly stated the required price of the training area, and after Orion paid, Aakesh told him about the process for entering the training area.

Orion thanked Aakesh in his usual way and then left for the weapons room. Even his steps were shaky all the way to the room.

Orion couldn’t help but take a deep breath as he was finally out of the store owner’s sight. To be more precise, he couldn’t see the mysterious blue-skinned man anymore.

Orion’s mental strength wasn’t weak due to his hard-working and never giving up nature. Orion was also optimistic since he believed he was born to achieve something great like many, but today, Orion realized just how inferior he was. Just from standing in front of Aakesh, Orion felt that he was standing in front of an Emperor.

After his heart and mind calmed down, his steps became steady. Orion was a sword user, so he proceeded toward the weapon pillar signifying the sword.

Orion then did the process as told by the store owner, and soon after, his consciousness left his body while a golden energy barrier surrounded his physical body to stop any harm that might come.

Time flew by, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The golden energy barrier covering the trainee began fading around one of the customers. The man was none other than Orion, who had just spent a large number of his earnings over these years on training.

Orion couldn’t help but clench his fist as he felt invisible energy running through his body.

Even if countless people of Orion’s level were to release their energy simultaneously, the store would feel nothing, so the system didn’t transfer Orion into an isolated space for him to calm his newly-gained energy down.

Orion’s eyes turned into slits as he felt his cultivation was about to break through to a new level. But his excitement turned to disappointment as the energy stopped growing any further after reaching the current limit of the sub-level.

Time flew by, and hours had passed.

The darkness got its chance to fight back as the sun began setting down. Slowly by slowly, it began to devour any semblance of light present outside.

Not long after, the sun set down, and a wave of darkness engulfed the entire Anga continent.

With the sun setting, Aakesh told Jonnah to announce the closing of the store.

Jonnah did as told, and not long after, only he, Aakesh, and Lily were left in the store’s hall, while there were some customers who were minutes away from leaving Panagea and the training area.
