The First Store System

Chapter 258: Benefits

Aakesh appeared in the same place he had left earlier this morning while two different color screens floated in front of him.

Aakesh then focused on the golden screen since the letters on the blue screen had gotten blurred.

[Congratulations, Adventurer, Youʼve killed the Townhead of the town, Wolfden,

Wolfden and its citizens couldnʼt survive without the Townhead since the wolf king had its eyes on the town. Since youʼre the killer of the Townhead, youʼre rewarded with the position of the new Townhead.

Benefits of the Townhead:

(I) Direct Increase of levels to Level 50,

(II) Tax collected from the citizen,

(III) Complete control over the army,

(IV) Full control over the resources of the town.

Hint: Itʼs a transferable position. You can transfer it to anyone.

Warning: If you were to transfer the position, your level would revert back to the level at which you gained the position, and the new Townhead will gain all the benefits.]

Aakesh couldnʼt help but get surprised after reading the content of the golden screen.

Since the system had already told him about him getting the position of the Townhead after killing Mark, he expected it to appear on the screen. What surprised him was the first benefit of being the Townhead.

A direct increase to Level 50 would make him equal to the wolf king in level. At that level, Aakesh was confident to instantly kill the wolf king.

Aakesh had no interest in the position and the other benefits of the Townhead, but the increase in level was something worth pondering.

[Host, if you choose to take the position of the Townhead, you could only transfer it a year later.]

As if the system could understand the doubts of Aakesh, so the next moment it informed him.

”One year!” Aakesh exclaimed in surprise at the systemʼs information.

After learning that information, the little bit of interest Aakesh had in taking the position for the quest disappeared. He had first thought of becoming the Townhead, then he would effortlessly kill the wolf king with the level increase, and then he would transfer the position to someone else.

But after the system informed him about the cooldown of one year, he had no interest in taking the position.

Since taking the position meant acting as the Townhead for a year, he couldnʼt stay bound by it for that long.

Aakesh had already decided to leave the town of Wolfden after rescuing Lily and wander around the Panagea since this world was the culmination of three dimensions.

After he had made his decision, the golden screen began fading as if the will of the world had understood Aakeshʼs thoughts.

”Eh!” Aakesh exclaimed in surprise, seeing the golden screen fading. He had thought that since he hadnʼt taken the position for herself, he would need to transfer it to someone else.

A few seconds later, the golden screen totally faded. But it wasnʼt the end, as a golden key the size of avocado appeared out of nowhere.

Right after appearing, it began falling, Aakesh tried to catch it, but his reflexes werenʼt fast enough for the speed at which the key was falling. Before he could grab it, it fell on the ground with a loud crashing sound. As if the key weighed in tons, it made the ground shake.

Aakesh almost stumbled due to the sudden shaking of the land.

After the land returned to calm and the soil that had erupted subsided, Aakesh bent down and attempted to pick up the golden key. He also wanted to see how much the key weighted to cause such a reaction.

”Hmm, letʼs see if I can pick you or not,” Aakesh muttered as he couldnʼt even budge the key after casually attempting to pick it up.

A few seconds later, Aakesh had no choice but to use both of his hands to pick it up. Only after he used his full strength was he able to pick it up.

Since he had unlimited endurance, he didnʼt feel physically tired.

When Aakesh brought it to his waist height, the key suddenly lost its heaviness, and its weight returned to the weight any key the size of avocado should have.

The next moment, a small golden window appeared in front of him right above the key.

[Item: The Key of Succession,

Grade: Epic,

Owner: None,

Ability: It allows the adventurer/inhabitant to gain control over a territory,

Territory: Wolfden.]

Aakesh only took a glance at the screen, and after finding nothing of interest, he ignored it. He instead had another question in his mind.

”Hey, system, what was the point for making the key this heavy?” He asked the system as it felt nothing more than a pointless effort for him.

[Host, the key was this heavy because it has no owner. If you were to accept the position of the Townhead...]

The system explained the purpose behind the weight. It was heavy as the test to the owner if the being who killed the Townhead refused to take the position of Townhead.

Now, Aakesh needed to find someone who would be able to pick it up, and only then could he transfer the position to someone.

Aakesh didnʼt ask any further questions and put the key in the pouch he carried low soul stones.

His eyes then finally fell on the blue screen. The letters that were blurred for him at the start were now clearly visible.

[Congratulations, Adventurer, for completing the mission and saving Wolfden from extinction,

As per the mission requirement, you personally killed all the guild members of the Netherstorm guild. You can get your reward anytime.

Youʼve successfully achieved the bonus requirement of the quest by personally killing the leader of the group. You can get your reward anytime.]

Aakesh nodded after reading the contents of the blue screen. There wasnʼt anything surprising on it, so Aakesh waved his hands, and it dispersed into light particles.

Aakesh had already completed the requirement, sp he could get his reward anytime. He thought about it, and the next moment, a blue light engulfed him.

A few seconds later, the blue light disappeared. Not even a second had passed when it suddenly reappeared and engulfed Aakesh again.

A few seconds later, the blue light disappeared.. Aakesh didnʼt look any different than earlier, but he knew he had gained five levels since Aakesh could sense that he had gotten even more powerful.
