The Omnistore System

"The outside world is so barren..." Maria said, gazing out the window. The landscape around them was just cracked soil with occasional patches of long, dry grass as they traveled on a long black road.

"It's only like this near our city," Kevin explained. "Once you travel a bit further, near other cities, the landscape starts to change. Each region has some sort of anomaly that causes it to shift. You'll see it change again and again." Kevin was used to the ever-changing scenery after spending quite a bit of time on the road during his trips.

The four women didn't know much about the outside world or the cultivation society, so everything was new to them. Normal schools didn't help much since there wasn't much interest in educating ordinary humans. That's why the previous owner of Kevin's body dropped out to manage the store.

In this world, non-cultivators didn't have many options other than labor jobs like mining or construction. Even those jobs were hard to get because so many people applied for them. This left most non-cultivators poor, like Kevin's family had been. Kevin thought about this as he glanced at his mother, who was looking out the car window with a thoughtful expression.

Kevin had made his mother and aunt take off their veils while in the car so he could see them in the new dresses he bought for them. Maria wore a black high-neck sweater with a long black skirt, which fitted her figure perfectly.

His aunt chose to wear a brown floral long skirt with a simple white shirt and a brown cardigan. Kevin didn't like their simple styles, feeling they didn't do justice to their beauty. However, unlike them, his cousin and sister had a good fashion sense. He admired Lora's look as she now sat in the front seat with him.

Lora's outfit suited her well: a white blazer left unbuttoned, revealing a white sports bra underneath, paired with black baggy pants. The ensemble highlighted her brown skin, curvy stomach, and ample chest.

Riya opted for a cool, edgy look with a black leather jacket, tight black pants, and a black shirt underneath. Kevin kept it casual with gray baggy pants, a loose black blazer, and a gray shirt.

All the clothes were bought from Celin and made from incredibly comfortable and durable fabric, capable of blocking a bullet and highly heat-resistant, as they were primarily designed for cultivators.

As Kevin glanced at his mother in the rearview mirror, he asked, "What are you thinking, Mom?"

Maria shook off her thoughts, smiled, and said, "Nothing." She shifted her gaze from outside to the rearview mirror, meeting her son's eyes. "How far are the Misty Mountains from here?"

"Not too far," Kevin replied. "And this beast is fast. About two hours, I think." Last time it had taken him about four to five hours because the ride he took made several detours.

"Are you getting bored?" Kevin asked, noticing Maria yawning.

"Nah, just a bit sleepy," she replied, stretching her arms.

"Then take a nap," he suggested. "Press that button on the armrest. It'll put a shield over your seat and recline it all the way back."

Maria was about to decline but got curious when Kevin explained the function. "Really? Then wake me up when we get there," she said, pressing the button. Her seat reclined back, and a second later, a black metal shield covered it completely.

The other three women looked on in surprise. Emma spoke first, "Then I might as well take a short rest too." She pressed the button on her armrest, and her seat followed suit.

Riya just smiled and continued looking outside, while Lora, searching for a button on her chair and not finding any, asked, "Where's mine? I want to rest too."

"Front seats don't have them for safety reasons," Kevin explained, pointing at his own seat. Lora turned to Riya and asked, "Riya, can we switch seats, please?"

Riya sighed but agreed, "Alright." Lora smiled brightly as they switched seats. Kevin stopped the car briefly to let them change places.

With Riya now in the front seat and the other shields up, Kevin finally had a bit of alone time with her. After a few minutes of silence, he said softly, "I missed you."

"I missed you too," she muttered, her gaze fixed on the flatlands outside. "Well, Mom missed you even more," she scoffed, before Kevin suddenly grabbed her face and sealed her lips with his.

"what are you doing?" she asked with surprise tone as she pushed him back, he had left the staring and was almost on her seat.

"Don't worry, they can't hear or see," he murmured, inching closer for another kiss.

But Riya, evading it, quipped, "Idiot, I mean the car."

Kevin grinned. "It can drive on its own now. Let's carry on," he said, not bothering to wait for her reply before reclaiming her lips.

She attempted to push him back, but couldn't resist, and instead of stopping, she intensified the kiss. Despite her struggle, she managed to free her lips, but the prolonged kiss left her breathless. Gasping for air, she managed to say, "Stop... they might turn the shields off..."

"They won't..." Kevin insisted, attempting to capture her lips again as she avoided his gaze by looking down.

"How would you know that?" she questioned, evading his lips once more. Kevin, growing a bit frustrated, captured them more forcefully, choosing not to answer.

His hands released her and gripped her soft breasts, squeezing them as she struggled to break off the kiss. Finally, Kevin stopped, leaving her breathless, and murmured, "I missed your lips so much."

"Please stop..." she murmured, her voice barely audible, as she averted her gaze from his, her face flushed.

Kevin hesitated, observing her flushed cheeks, then returned to his seat. "Then show me your boobs..." Riya looked surprised as he paused, staring at him with confusion, which only made him smirk. "Do it, or I'll do more than just kiss you this time."
