The First Store System

Chapter 1144: A New Family Member(1)

The sunset over Thorr and its nearby cities allowed the darkness to rise again. A wave of darkness spread across the cities at a rapid rate.

With the sunset, the storeʼs closing time also arrived. Lily and Aakesh were both excited since they were about to meet a new family member.

Katrina and Autumn stood up from their chairs to leave the store since the store would close, and they werenʼt allowed to stay.

They were still living at Favanʼs residence, but with their help, the building had grown, so Favan no longer had to sleep in the store. He had his floor. The upper two floors belonged to Katrina and Autumn, and Favan wasnʼt allowed to enter. Favan also accepted the order since he could do nothing even if the two people snatched the house. He was grateful to have his own room.

Katrina and Autumn left the store, and soon the two chairs placed for them disappeared.

Aakesh then stood up from his chair and went to the weapons room. There were several customers inside the room, so Aakesh informed them it was time to leave. As for those who were covered in golden light, he didnʼt disturb them and left for the next room.

Soon after informing all the customers inside the store, Aakesh returned to his chair and waited for the store to turn empty.

Time flew by, and a few minutes passed.

”Good Night, store owner!” The man wished Aakesh and then left the store, leaving Aakesh and Lily only inside the store.

Aakesh went ahead and closed the door, bringing an end to a fruitful day for the store.

He then turned toward the beast room, but before he could step forward, Lilyʼs childlike voice rang in his ears.

”Now tell me what it was?” Lily asked. The birth of Chaos Whale was immensely important to her but not more than anything related to Aakeshʼs security.

It didnʼt matter whether Aakesh was strong enough to handle the danger; she only cared about someone attempting to harm Aakesh.

A wry smile spread across Aakeshʼs face, and then he explained the story of Hartol to him.

”That damn organization! I will rip them apart when I find them,” Lily angrily cursed as she looked at the screen in front of her.

Aakesh gently stroked Lilyʼs head while commenting, ”Donʼt worry, this is more like a gift for me.”

Aakesh didnʼt care about Hartol. It didnʼt matter what the guy had planned for him. Aakesh believed that in the face of overwhelming strength, nothing mattered.

His actual enemies were the organization that was doing this to get that item. At that time, Aakesh didnʼt know who they were, but he would someday, and when he would, he would go on a rampage. Hartol was just a stumbling block for him that would allow him to gain rewards once crossed.

Aakesh then said some more things and finally calmed Lily down.

”What is this face when you will be meeting your brother for the first time?” Aakesh commented and proceeded toward the beast room, gently grabbing Lily by her head.

When Lily heard about the birth of the Chaos Whale, she decided to let go of all her tensions at that moment, and a wide, anticipated smile spread across her face.

”The name is what we have decided,” Lily commented as they reached the pillar.

Aakesh nodded and then focused on the hatching compartment in the pillar.

Aakesh extended his hands and grabbed the single item that was there. He then retracted his hands, and the next moment, an egg appeared in his hand. At first, it was only the size of a tennis ball, but it began to expand at a rapid rate.

In no time, it reached the same height as the pillar. Aakesh looked tiny in comparison to the egg, but he was still in perfect control of the egg.

If someone else were to try to pick the egg up, they wouldnʼt even succeed in budging the egg, let alone picking it up. It weighed more than the combined mass of several universes. It was the systemʼs help that made Aakesh sustain himself without turning into a pile of blood below the egg.

[Host, put the egg on the ground and pour your blood at the tip!]

The space was temporarily expanded to hold the egg, and the next moment, the systemʼs mechanical, emotionless voice rang in the room.

Aakesh nodded and gently put the egg on the ground. There was no need to be gentle, as the eggshell was durable enough to take a hit from a Sacred Creator and yet receive no dent. But since it was Aakeshʼs child, he treated it gently.

The next moment, Aakesh jumped up, with Lily tightly holding onto Aakeshʼs hair. Invisible energy acted as a platform for Aakesh as he appeared above the egg.

A tiny needle like dark energy appeared at the tip of his fingers, and using that, he slashed his palms. It was as if a hot knife was passing through butter; there was no resistance from his skin.

Aakesh had a smile spread across his face as the blue, dense liquid flew over the egg like a wave. In no time, the blue blood had covered the entire egg.

The process had yet to stop since it was only the beginning. As the first wave of blood covered the egg without leaving even a tiny bit of space, the egg rumbled and devoured the blood in its entirety.

It was now time for the second wave. A single wave took seven liters of Aakeshʼs blood.

Time flew by, and on the fifth wave, Aakesh finally felt drained. It was still very far from ending, so Aakesh continued. The feeling wasnʼt very intense, so Aakesh continued

Aakesh couldnʼt even use any blood-replenishing item since it would add slight toxicity to his blood, and he didnʼt want the egg to eat that blood.

Aakeshʼs body started shaking as the twenty-first wave began. His deep blue skin was turning lighter. Lily gritted her teeth and kept watching the process.

As the twenty-fourth wave arrived, Aakesh started losing his strength at a rapid rate.

Aakesh persisted, and when the twenty-ninth wave arrived, the system had to hold Aakeshʼs hands still.
