The First Store System

Chapter 792: Aftermath(7)

As Brinda left the Primal dimension for a more challenging journey into a higher world, the dark clouds began to recede.

In no time, the sky became clear as stars began to shine.

The pressure forcing the inhabitants of the Bisan Empire to kneel disappeared as they began to stand up.

The arrays spread around the Empire to protect its citizens closed as their spirits found the danger to be gone.

“Did his majesty leave?” In a group of a few thousand people, it wasn’t clear who asked the question, but it sent a chain reaction as everyone thought of it.

The next moment, crying sounds engulfed the area as the Emperor had left after a monumental role of several centuries.

But soon after those crying sounds disappeared, and excitement pervaded the area as Brinda was the first from the Bisan Empire to ascend. Her name would be in history books not only due to her title but also her talent and effort.

While the entire Empire was dancing in joy for Brinda, Lily was leaving the Primal dimension and returning to the Panagea.

“She succeeded,” Lily said as they had just come out of the training.

Usually, Lily was already in the Primal dimension at this time of the night, but today, there were some circumstances that forced Lily to stay for long in her training.

Lily was no longer a pure Epochal Feline. Her bloodline was half mixed with Aakesh’s. She was a perfect hybrid, but the state could only continue for a time.

The body would continue to churn blood, and as one portion increased, her title of perfect hybrid would have changes.

Today was one such day. Lily’s original bloodline was attempting to surpass Aakesh’s, which in turn made Aakesh’s blood act.

Lily’s body was strong enough to handle the blood clash in her body, but while all this happened, she would never be at peak stage.

To help herself, Lily spent hours with her ancestors in the training area, and she finally suppressed her bloodline, resulting in the ideal mixture of the two.

As their tradition has been for the past thousand years, Aakesh waited for Lily to exit. After they had their usual discussion, both of them returned to the store.

Unexpectedly, the time they returned matched the time when Brinda had passed her tribulation.

Lily couldn’t help herself as she released her divine senses and searched Brinda’s newly created divine physique.

“I am leaving,” Lily then said in her childlike voice and summoned the door to Aakesh’s room.

The next moment, the door, and not long after, stairs connecting it to the floor appeared in the store’s hall.

Aakesh waited for Lily to leave, and as the door automatically closed after Lily’s entering, the smile on Aakesh’s face disappeared. His usual indifferent expression took its place.

Aakesh then turned around and proceeded forward in the direction of the portal room.

As his habits had become, he first turned around toward the leaderboard.

Aakesh had no reaction on his face, as there was no change on the leaderboard from the past few weeks. At the same time, Aakesh also wanted to know who would surpass Lilith, William, and Elle, who had already left the Primal dimension. There were going to be three new rankers on the board.

Aakesh then turned around and touched the closest portal to him, using only the tip of his finger.

The next moment, a suction force stronger than anything appeared in the portal room, and it sucked Aakesh inside. After Aakesh disappeared from the room, the virtual portal in question turned grey.

The next moment, Aakesh found himself standing in Panagea at the spot where he had exited yesterday.

‘Status,’ Aakesh thought in his heart as it had been a long time since he had checked his status.

The next moment, a blue screen with golden fonts appeared in front of him, containing all his details.

Personal Status:

Name: Aakesh,

Race: [*****],

Gender: Male,

Lifeform: Mythical,

Class: Watcher,

Level: Level 294,

HP: 90,500/90,500,

Energy: 90,500/90,500,

Physical attributes:

Strength: 4,751 (+1550),

Agility: 4,751 (+1550),

Intelligence: -0-,

Endurance: -0-,

Comprehensions: Hand fighting (100%), Archery (100%), Swordsmanship (100%)…

Skills: Wolfbane, Ability-Learning, Universal-Eye, Fortune-Eye, Element Immunity…

Aakesh nodded as he read his Panagea attributes.

His power level was nearing Level 300, while the highest-ranked adventurer on the leaderboard hadn’t even crossed Level 260.

But as his level was increasing, Aakesh’s attribute of defeating people higher level than him was also put up for a challenge.

Earlier, Aakesh could defeat a Level 50 when he was only Level 35, but now, Aakesh would have to struggle if he wanted to defeat a Level 299 when he was Level 294. As for the Level 300 opponent, it was certain death for him.

The power difference between each level grew severalfold.

Aakesh’s not being able to put fight against beings six or seven levels above him was also due to his attributes becoming similar to others.

Aakesh had gotten the legendary class Watcher while he was only a low-level adventurer, so the gain of ten units with every increase in level put him into a higher tier.

But now that he was nearing Level 300, he still only gained ten units increase with every level increment, and it was harming his talent.

For the past few years, Aakesh had been working hard to evolve his class into Mythical grade. His hard work was giving him fruits as he was closer to his goal with each passing day.

Aakesh believed that in the next several decades, he would have his class evolve into a Mythical grade.

It shouldn’t have been that hard, but his class, the Watcher, was a unique class, so evolving it was as hard as evolving several legendary classes into Mythical grade.

Since Aakesh had already entered Panagea late today, he didn’t dilly-dally anymore. He thought of the status screen disappearing and continued on his journey to the nearest city.

Time flew by, and just before the system could alert Aakesh about the sunrise, Aakesh reached his destination.

In front of him, a city larger than anything Aakesh had yet to come across in Panagea stood majestically.

Aakesh didn’t get much time to study it as the system’s alert rang in his head.

The next moment, Aakesh found himself back in the store.
