The First Store System

Chapter 1093: A New Customer!

"How did you know it?" Ayriel asked in shock.

The next moment, that shock turned into fear. Even a loving mother might harm her children if the inheritance of someone like Ay was at stake, let alone Ayana, who was cold-hearted, and her children's safety didn't matter to her.

An amused expression appeared on Ayana's face when she saw the sudden changing expression on her daughter's face.

"Who killed Ay?" Ayana ignored Ayriel's question and instead asked.

At that moment, a grieved expression appeared on her face since she sincerely felt sad about Ay's death. After all, she was the source of her bloodline.

"Dragon of Dread!" Ayriel replied after a long pause. It was her first time seeing her mother acting like this, so she couldn't stop herself from answering.

"DRAGON OF DREAD!" Ayana said the name, gritting her teeth in anger.

But soon, the anger turned into helplessness. Even if she knew the Dragon of Dread to be the source of her ancestor's death, what could she do about it?

Dragons were one of the top creatures of the Multiverse, and especially those who had titles, stood at the peak of the Primordial Dimension.

***

Primordial Dimension,

In the darkness of the void, an eye larger than a planet opened, and soon thousands of such eyes opened. There was a hint of confusion in all of them.

Soon the confusion disappeared as they looked in the direction of the Sacred Dimension.

The owner of the eyes wanted to peer through the transparent wall blocking the two dimensions, but only a blurry surrounding could be seen.

Roar!

The owner of the eyes let out a roar filled with anger as it never expected it to fail to even peer through the wall of the Sacred Dimension.

The creature was none other than the Dragon of Dread, who killed Ay.

When Ayriel and Ayana uttered the title with negative feelings toward it, the Dragon noticed.

How could the Dragon know that it failed to find Ayriel and Ayana because of Ayriel's physique? The physique also had an anti-divination ability that only Devas could break, or Vritrasura had long found Ayriel.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store.

He opened his eyes and turned in that direction. The next moment, an unfamiliar face greeted his sight.

The new customer then entered the store. It was a male customer belonging to a non-demon race.

The man had a mixture of surprised and excited expressions on his face since he came here by sheer luck.

The man's name was Jerine, and he belonged to the Jistins.

The Jistins was a mid-tier race in the Sacred Dimension, with their ruler being a Supreme God. These creatures had humanoid physiques. Their hair was blue, while their eyes were slightly golden. These creatures had an above-average appearance.

Jerine was the son of the current ruler of the Jistins and the younger brother of the next heir. He was going to be one million years old in the next three days, so he decided to celebrate it with his wife, kids, and grandkids.

Things were going great, but then a sudden mishap happened. The travel portals were very stable since any mistake in space coordinates could cause the traveler to be lost for countless years or even find themselves in dangerous situations.

The failure rate of the travel portal was one in one septillion, but Jerine's fate had something else in mind as when he stepped into the portal, there was a malfunction.

When he stepped out of the portal, he should have been in Gretan City, a popular tourist destination in the Sacred Dimension. But things weren't as what Jerine wanted. He stepped into Thorr City, a place he had never heard of in his life.

What was even more shocking was that he couldn't return to Fustic, even though that portal sent him here.

What should have been a misfortune for Jerine because he found himself in demon territory turned out to be a fortunate event when he found out about the store.

Wherever he passed, he heard people talking about the store. At the same time, none of the Vurrons behaved rudely with him, even though he was a non-demon.

"Hello, store owner!" Jerine greeted Aakesh with a wide smile spread across his face.

Aakesh nodded in response to the greetings and waited for the man to ask for an introduction.

"I am Jerine, the son of Juron, the younger brother of Jerome, the husband of Hilla, the father of Jilin, Jerry, Hogan, and the grandfather of Jim, Herrick, Gudina, and Ketin," Jerine introduced himself in his special way.

"I am Aakesh," Aakesh replied with his usual response, not caring about the weird way of introduction.

Jerine then began to talk about Jistins.

"Store owner, what products are sold by the store?" Jerine finally asked after a long introduction about himself, his race, territory, and neighboring races.

"The store currently sells five products…"

Aakesh was waiting for the question, so he soon began to answer and then introduced all five products and their basic details in a single breath.

Jerine just stood there in shock, comprehending what he had heard from the store owner's mouth.

***

"Store owner, I want to enter Panagea," Jerine excitedly requested Aakesh after getting a satisfying number of answers about Panagea.

Since there were spots available in Panagea, Jerine didn't have to wait or go for another product.

"You need to pay fourteen hundred twenty-five lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh stated since Jerine chose the 3x stay.

Jerine nodded, and the next moment, he took out one ordinary Sacred stone and twenty-five lesser stones from his inner world.

"You need to pay in the exact denomination as told," Aakesh told Jerine before he could push the stones toward him.

"If you want to pay in different denominations, then you need to have the store cards…" Aakesh added and then explained the three store cards to Jerine.

Jerine was surprised by the rule since rarely did anyone refuse payment by a higher denomination of currency. But since the store was extraordinary and different from others, he stopped thinking about it.

The next moment, he asked for a Supreme Store Card, pushing one supreme Sacred stone toward Aakesh.
