The First Store System

Chapter 543: The First Step(3)

Aakesh looked at the Leafless Fruit and marveled as he got such a valuable product without much effort.

Aakesh then decided to look at the other trees in the garden, but except for the Leafless Tree, the most valuable item he found was the Six-Sense Weed.

Even though there was a weed in its name, it didn’t mean that it was a useless plant.

It had the weed added in its name because it absorbed the nutrients of other plants and grew on its own, unlike the planted plants.

Despite it being a coincidental plant, it wasn’t a worthless product. As its name suggested, it helped in the growth of senses, but since Aakesh was already at the peak of the Primal dimension, he did not need it.

Aakesh still pulled it out since letting it grow here would be a loss.

As soon as Aakesh pulled it out, he looked to his left as he sensed a substantial disturbance.

A few km away from Aakesh, the space had broken down and turned into a portal.

Aakesh knew the portal was for him as it had appeared after he pulled out the Six-Sense Weed, the only valuable product other than the Leafless Fruit in the garden.

Aakesh then threw the weed into his pocket space and proceeded in the direction of the portal.

‘This must be my reward for stepping on the first step,’ As soon as Aakesh exited the portal, a thought emerged in his head.

A frown appeared on Aakesh’s face as he didn’t like the feeling of someone adding a thought to his head.

The next moment, his face returned to his usual expressionless face since if the thought could create even tiny harm to Aakesh, the system would’ve acted. If Aakesh had asked the system to be in the proactive mode, the system would’ve attacked the being behind adding a thought in Aakesh’s head, but since it would be too much expensive and an useless expenditure, Aakesh continued with the same process.

Aakesh’s eyes then fell on the surrounding in front of him.

Aakesh found himself returning to the same environment when Aakesh had entered the world.

Just around three thousand km away from him, there was the stair as Aakesh stood on the lower surface. No matter in what direction, Aakesh looked, the distance between him and the stair stayed the same.

“So, the first step would have another test,” Aakesh mumbled. He knew that despite the environment looking similar to before, it wasn’t the place when he had entered the world.

Aakesh believed such because of the energy concentration in the area. The energy concentration in the air here was less than before.

The change was only minimal, but for Aakesh, it was still in the range of his senses.

Since the environment around him was similar to the ground below the first step, Aakesh understood that there was going to be another test.

The next moment, Aakesh activated the skill Energy Overseer.

Not long after, the view in Aakesh’s sight changed as different colors of light dots appeared, spread across the area.

Aakesh then looked at the ground below his feet and found countless clusters of grey-colored light dots, signifying the hardness of the surface. But when Aakesh looked a meter in front of him, Aakesh noticed that red-colored light dots had replaced the grey-colored light dots.

Aakesh didn’t understand what it meant, so he looked another meter farther, and similar to the last time, Aakesh found countless clusters of red-colored light dots.

As Aakesh moved his eyes to the left of the spot, he noticed continuous clusters of red-colored light dots, but as soon as his eyes crossed a distance of a meter, countless groups of blue-colored light dots welcomed him.

Aakesh had a conjecture in his mind when he found the blue-colored light dots, but since he wasn’t confident, he continued looking. As expected, two meters away from the cluster of blue-colored light dots on its left, Aakesh noticed grey-colored light dots.

It was as if there was a block of one meter each, and they contained random colored light dots.

After checking out a few more blocks, Aakesh’s conjecture was correct.

There were several blocks, and each contained a cluster of random colored light dots. Red signified the element of fire, blue represented water, purple defined thunder, and there were other defining other elements.

Aakesh also noticed that his skill sight had reduced here as if the restrictions on him were higher than the last time.

He could only see the energy contents up to ten meters in each direction, and in all the ten blocks he saw, he only found one that contained grey-colored light dots, defining the elements of the earth.

Aakesh understood that to reach the stair, he would have to cross the blocks, and every block other than the one which contained grey-colored light dots was a threat to him.

The only block that contained grey-colored light dots Aakesh could see in all the directions of his range was four meters away from him, which shouldn’t have been possible since it was a block two meters to the left of the spot two meters in front of him. So the distance should’ve been less since Aakesh had to travel diagonally, but somehow when Aakesh looked at that cluster to walk to it, he found that the length he calculated was four meters.

Aakesh could take a step of six meters in front of him at one time when he was below the first step, but since the restriction here on him was more powerful than the last time, Aakesh wasn’t sure.

He also didn’t know what would happen to him if he stepped on a block containing clusters of light dots other than grey-colored. But since Aakesh had no interest in getting attacked, Aakesh didn’t think of purposely stepping onto one to experiment.

But to test whether the ground had reflective power or not, Aakesh threw a weak attack at the spot since he didn’t want to step on the block containing grey-colored light dots and then get thrown back.

The next moment, Aakesh’s skill crashed to the spot four meters away from him. Aakesh nodded after seeing that the grey-colored light dots didn’t even move slightly, which meant that the ground here was different than the land below the first step.
