The First Store System

Chapter 1522: A Love-Smitten Customer!

Ziro stood in an endless white space with a blue screen before him.

Ziro didn't have much idea about the power differences between different races in the Sacred Dimension, so he decided to go with Bursu.

Ziro had fought a battle with a Bursu several years ago, and that had been the most difficult battle of his life, with him almost dying.

For the environment, Ziro chose a dark place with chilly winds. It was the same environment as the one where he had the battle.

Following his option's selection, a white light enveloped Ziro, and the next moment, he appeared in the exact place he had in his mind.

***

Ziro stood pale in shock as he suddenly returned to the white space immediately after the battle began. He didn't even see his opponent making the move, and his world had already turned dark.

The blue screen had popped out once again. Ziro fixed his choices for the entire training duration, so he returned to the battlefield.

Time flew by, and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Only in the seventh hour was Ziro able to defend against the first slash, but even that was nothing.

A few more hours passed in a flash, and only the last hour of the training was left.

Ding!

The bell rang and announced the start of another battle.

Ziro and his opponent made their moves at the same time.

Clang!

A sound rang as the two sabers clashed, pushing the two opponents backward. Ziro had anticipated that, so he jumped forward and slashed before his foot fully landed on the ground.

The opponent had the same motive, but since Ziro employed it first, the Bursu immediately defended.

The defense was done effortlessly, and so was the counterattack. The Bursu sliced its saber, almost cutting Ziro in half.

Even though Ziro dodged the slice, the saber still touched some part of his chest, opening up a gash.

Ziro ignored the pain and pounced, ready to take the opponent's head. The Bursu brought its saber in time and defended, but before it could counterattack, Ziro suddenly grabbed the hilt of the saber.

He slashed at the same time. The physical strength difference between the two sides wasn't very different, so Ziro wanted the small window that would appear due to the opponent trying to free its weapon.

The window appeared, but before Ziro could successfully strike the Burus, a wave of pain hit him, freezing him for a moment.

The left hand he had used to grab the saber's hilt had now been cut due to quick and skillful movement unleashed by the opponent.

Time flew by, and Ziro returned to the white space with another loss.

***

"Thank you, store owner. I will return tomorrow for Panagea," Ziro thanked Aakesh, and after his nod, he activated the store card, disappearing from the store.

Ziro had no residence of his own, so he didn't appear in another location but appeared outside the store.

He then left to search for a residence in Thorr City.

Time was like a steady stream that kept flowing without any random increase or decrease. Minutes turned into hours, hours into days, days into months, and months into years. Just like that, several years had passed since the completion of the cultivation arts quest.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps rang outside the store as Sheri approached it. She stopped once she reached the doors. Her eyes were filled with excitement since she would finally be able to see the mysterious store owner.

Sheri was a customer from the Primal Dimension, but she became one long after the store owner returned to the Sacred Dimension.

She took a deep breath to calm her pounding heart but was unable to do so due to her first meeting with the store owner.

She stopped trying to calm down and walked forward, stepping inside the store. The view before her changed, and the store's interior appeared before her.

Her eyes fell on the blue-skinned store owner, and her heart couldn't help but jump to another speed.

Aakesh had been extremely popular with both men and women since the store became popular all over the Primal Dimension.

If Aakesh were to just announce his intention of looking for a romantic partner, the number of women applying for that would be enough to make a galaxy overcrowded.

Sheri was one of those admirers, so seeing Aakesh before her was a significant event for her.

Aakesh noticed the wild change in the emotion of the new entry, but he ignored it since he was busy with another customer.

Sheri's cheeks had turned crimson as he joined the queue. The closer she was to Aakesh, the faster her heartbeat became.

Sheri couldn't help but imagine weird scenes in her mind and how she would respond to that.

***

"Yes, I can bear children for you," Sheri suddenly muttered as she dreamed of Aakesh proposing to her.

The next moment, her face was on the verge of exploding as she stood face-to-face with Aakesh. While dreaming of weird scenes, she didn't even notice that it was her turn.

Aakesh had an expressionless face on the outside while smiling inside. He didn't smile because of Sheri, but he imagined Lily's reaction if she were here to hear the woman say such words.

***

"Hello, store owner. I am Sheri." Sheri greeted Aakesh after calming down.

She didn't naturally calm down, but it was the doing of the system. If it were to be left to Sheri to calm down, she would have just stood there silently for hours.

Aakesh had sensed the aura of the store from Sheri, so he was aware that she was a customer from the lower dimension. Sheri talked about some miscellaneous things related to the store and then finally asked about the products.

The products were the same as the lower dimension, so except for the pills, there was no new information in the basic introduction.
