The First Store System

Chapter 1129: Excitement!!!

After grabbing the square rock, Aakesh found himself back in the garden with the woman sitting on the chair and gently stroking the sleeping Handolia.

The woman smiled when she saw the square rock, unlike the dark version of her. She then commented, "Now that you have found the square rock: search for the crystal. It is hidden here somewhere."

Time flew by, and after several hours passed in a flash, Aakesh finally discovered the crystal. It wasn't an easy task, as the crystal was buried miles deep in the garden, and he needed to find it without harming even an inch of it, so the process was intensely slow.

Taking the crystal out was a challenge as Aakesh couldn't use his hands, but he had to use his divine senses to pick it up. At the same time, he needed to fight back the repulsion force of the square rock since it seemed to have no interest in returning to the crystal.

Fortunately for him, there was no pressure or eye-tearing sensation from the crystal. In the end, when the crystal appeared, his hands were in even worse shape than they were during the mural's situation.

The hexagonal crystal was red in color with a purple hue around it. There was an empty space with the same dimensions as the square rock in the middle of the crystal.

Aakesh pushed through the force and placed the stone perfectly in the compartment. There was no attraction force from the crystal, so Aakesh had to do all of it on his own.

When the process was complete, the purple hue around the crystal exploded, turning into a blinding light. Aakesh had no choice but to let go of the item.

The woman appeared behind Aakesh and stared at the scene as if the blinding light didn't matter to her. She couldn't help but grow emotional after seeing the complete formation of the crystal. It was an item created by her grandfather, and it had stayed in a detached state since the war.

Even though she was here, the woman could no longer control the square rock or the crystal, and neither did she have the strength to tame their movement.

Aakesh, on the other hand, only opened his eyes when the entire process was complete. When he saw the crystal, he couldn't help but raise his eyes in surprise since the appearance of the mural was different.

Aakesh then turned around and saw the woman looking at the crystal with the same expression.

When Aakesh raised his hand to grab the newly formed red crystal with a purple-gold hue around it, with an addition of intricate murals engraved on it, the crystal flew away. Aakesh became faster, but it was still out of his reach.

The crystal then flew toward the woman, its previous owner. The woman had the same experience as it dodged her head, rotated three times around her, and then it disappeared from both of their eyes.

"It told me that it feels disappointed that you aren't compatible with it," The woman didn't seem that surprised by the crystal's action. She then informed Aakesh.

Aakesh nodded since he already knew before coming here that he wouldn't be able to own the item. He just didn't know that he wouldn't even be able to touch it.

Time flew by, and hours passed in a flash.

To return to the room, Aakesh only needed to think, but he conversed with the woman for some time, trying to know how the woman had achieved a state where she was neither dead nor alive, nor undead, nor a spirit.

Unfortunately, Aakesh's attempts failed, and he didn't get to know the answer. The woman assured him that his question would be answered at their next meeting. As for when it would happen or whether it would occur, it was all best left to the future.

After everything was complete, Aakesh stood at the endless gate of the endless palace towering behind him. Aakesh had a smile on his face as he received one petal from the Handolia and many other valuable resources that he didn't need but could sell for more in case he needed money to buy things he desired.

To exit the palace, Aakesh needed to reverse draw the pattern. He did it without breaking any sweat, and the next moment, he found himself back at the place where he started digging.

At the same time, a warm feeling washed over his body, strengthening his skin, bones, spirit, and every other body function.

Aakesh decided to call his status panel since it had been a long time. The next moment, a blue screen with golden fonts appeared in front of him, containing all his details.

With the five-level gain at once, Aakesh finally crossed the three-hundred-level mark. Aakesh nodded in appreciation seeing his other details.

He then waved his hands, and the next moment, the screen disappeared, waiting for him to call it back again.

Time flew by, and soon it was Aakesh's turn to return to the store since it was meditation time.

Time was like a stream that ran continuously without any interference from others. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, and just like that, it had been more than three years since Aakesh ascended and opened the store in the Sacred Dimension.

As the sun rose on Thorr and its nearby cities, the cover of darkness disappeared, and citizens welcomed a new day.

Aakesh opened the door to his store as usual at sunrise, and as expected, the familiar scene of thousands of people waiting outside greeted him.

Aakesh turned around and returned to his chair, while the crowd entered the store like a raging tide. Everyone wanted to be the first to enter, but none dared to push someone outside of their way as they didn't want to get blocked from the store.

It took even less than the time it took to open the door to turn the street empty.

There were more than fifteen thousand people in the group of customers inside the store. The next moment, a golden light covered 13148 of them, while the remaining were without any.

Those who joined the 13148 people were excited, while those who didn't went to the waiting corner to wait for their turn in Panagea.

Those who owned cards went directly to the portal room, while those who didn't own any of the three formed a line and joined the queue.

After Aakesh was left alone on his chair while the waiting customers had joined the waiting queue, he summoned the quest screen.

The next moment, several blue screens containing all his active quests appeared in front of him.

…

Aakesh looked at all his quests and their progress one after another. Seeing that there was no issue with the way things were going on, Aakesh waved his hands, and the next moment, the screens disappeared one after another, depending on their sequence.

Aakesh wasn't alone today in the store, but he also had Lily with him. Lily had an excited expression all over her face as she couldn't wait for the sunset to arrive and for Aakesh to close the store.

Today was the day when the full three years would pass since the arrival of the Beast Summoner Device, and also the day the hatching of the Chaos Whale would occur.

Lily's territory in Panagea was going through turbulence since the last year due to radical actions taken by her. But today nothing mattered to her since today her sibling would be born.

Aakesh also had the same expression, but he didn't show it on the outside like Lily and kept his usual indifferent face.
