The First Store System

Chapter 593: A New Day for the Store!

As the sun rose and sent its splendor over the Anga continent, dispersing the darkness around the place, a store in the extreme southern corner of the continent opened, with a crowd higher in number than any other place, waiting outside the store.

After opening the store, Aakesh turned around and made his way to the comfortable chair while the crowd poured into the store like an uncontrollable tide. And yet miraculously, the scene didn’t look chaotic at all. But it instead looked as if things were supposed to go this way.

In no time, the large crowd waiting outside the store was inside, while the outside area turned into a vast ground with only two neighboring structures standing there.

All the customers entering the store this early in the morning were the ones who had been regularly coming to the store for the past several years, so they already knew the drill.

Those who owned any of the three store cards went straightaway to the portal room, while those who didn’t have one went to Aakesh and paid for their services.

Since there were more than a hundred million virtual portals in the store while the number of customers didn’t even reach one-tenth of that number, there should have been no hurry. And yet, the customers rushed toward the portal room as if their life depended on it.

Only after a few minutes, not even a single customer was present in the hall. All of them had gone to the portal room.

Aakesh looked outside to check if there were any new customers in the range of the store, but when Aakesh saw none, he closed his eyes and began the first of his many relaxation sessions for the day.

Time flew by.

Around an hour had passed since the opening of the store when Dotta suddenly teleported inside the store. Her eyes then fell on Aakesh, who had his eyes closed. Her lips twitched as she understood that he ignored her since she wasn’t a new customer.

Dotta only cared about Aakesh ignoring her once and then went to the portal room since she also wanted to hurry to the Panagea.

Dotta had already experienced a world like Panagea, but for some inexplicable reason, the worth of experience in Panagea was several notches higher than other experiences.

She made her way toward the portal room. As soon as she entered inside, without even Dotta being aware, she got teleported to the rows where the portals were vacant.

Dotta touched the virtual portal closest to her, and the next moment, a suction force more powerful than she could fight back in her suppressed state appeared and sucked her inside, taking her to a new world full of new adventures.

Aakesh still maintained his relaxed state since he only opened them for new customers or if any regular customer approached him.

Time flew by, and just like that, another hour had passed.

Suddenly several rounds of teleportations ensued in the store, announcing the arrival of a group of customers and breaking the silence permeating every corner of the store.

As usual, Aakesh had his eyes closed, but not long after, he had to open them as he sensed the group members approaching them.

Aakesh opened his eyes and found a group of sixteen members approaching him.

Aakesh already recognized every one of them since they weren’t new customers, but those who were old but didn’t have a fixed schedule to get considered a regular customer.

All the sixteen members weren’t of a single race but varied. Yet there was one thing common between the group, each of them being a member of the top races of the Primal dimension, with every one of them having an extraordinary background even in their species.

For example, the leader of the group was Joyce, a member of the Hygar race, and he was also the son of the head of the Hygar race.

The sixteen members standing here were part of an organization that Joyce founded, and only there were these sixteen members in it.

The organization wasn’t one of the top ones since there were only sixteen peak Immortals. Whereas every top-tier organization in the entirety of the Primal dimension employed the services of at least a few hundred peak Immortals, let alone the top-five organizations where there were several millions of them.

Despite not being a top organization, it was known to many people as every member carried a high status in their families, so rarely did anyone try to harm the organization.

The sixteen members, with Joyce in the lead, approached Aakesh.

“Hello, senior,” Joyce greeted Aakesh with a slight bow. The other members in the group followed their leader and bowed one by one.

The majority of the customers admired Aakesh since he was the store owner. But there were also a few customers like Evelyn, Kuriati, Joyce, etc., who respected Aakesh not for being the store owner but for his invincible strength.

Joyce wasn’t the most talented member of the current generation in the Hygar race despite being the son of the mightiest known character in the Primal dimension, his father, the leader of the Hygar race. But Joyce had a talent that helped him judge the strength of others.

When Joyce entered the store for the first time around forty years ago, Joyce felt his blood freezing the moment he set his eyes on Aakesh. Despite Aakesh’s eyes being closed at that time, Joyce believed that he was nothing but an ant in the presence of the blue-skinned man.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded in response to their bows and looked at Joyce, waiting for him to explain his purpose in approaching him.

If the customers had any of the three cards, they didn’t need to approach Aakesh and request him to buy the product; they could purchase it on their own, except for the Immortal and the Gods & Demons level training area, where only Aakesh would allow them to enter.

It could be the reason behind their approaching Aakesh, but Aakesh remembered that the sixteen members were still some time away from their deadline of one year. If they wanted to enter the Gods & Demons level training area, they would have to wait for two more months.

Since they couldn’t enter the training area, the group must have another purpose in approaching Aakesh.

Aakesh expressionlessly stared at the group, waiting for Joyce to explain the purpose behind approaching him.

“Senior, would you like to join the Sixteen?” Joyce suddenly asked Aakesh.

Joyce’s face suddenly tensed as he looked toward Aakesh and waited for his answer.

The Sixteen was the name of the organization Joyce had built from scratch. The name had no meaning since it derived from the sixteen members being a part of it.

“No, I have no interest in that,” Aakesh expressionlessly refused Joyce.

Aakesh already had no interest in joining any organization, let alone a newbie one that wasn’t even on the top five list.

A disappointed expression appeared on Joyce’s and the other fifteen members’ faces after hearing Aakesh’s expressionless straight refusal. But the group masked their expressions right away and once again looked at Aakesh.

The primary purpose behind them coming here wasn’t to invite Aakesh. They had seen the extraordinariness of the store from their own eyes, so they didn’t believe for even a moment that Aakesh would join their organization.

Seeing the expressions returning to calm on the faces of the group members, Aakesh understood that it wasn’t the primary purpose behind them approaching him.

The next moment, a smile appeared on Joyce’s face as he looked at Aakesh and uttered his purpose behind coming here.

Aakesh expressionlessly looked at the group and didn’t speak anything, while Joyce and the group members looked at Aakesh with tension evident on their faces.

A/N: Sorry for the sudden absence for three days without adding any information about me or the book.

I had gotten ill on the seventeenth, so I uploaded a late chapter that day, but unfortunately for me, my health worsened, and I reached a stage where I couldn’t look at the screen for long, so I couldn’t write any more chapters.

This chapter is when I got slightly better, but since looking too long at the screen causes a severe headache, I could only write one chapter.

I am deeply sorry for this absence and eternally grateful for your support for the book.

I am not sure about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in this situation, so the upload isn’t fixed.

Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
