The First Store System

Chapter 90: The Skill Ability-Learning

After the group of the guards left, Aakesh thought of the quest screen, and the next moment, a blue window containing the details of the mission appeared in front of him.

Number of customers left: 08/20,

Days required: 6 days,

He only focused on the number of customers left and the days left. ”Eight more customers in six days! Now, itʼs doable,” He commented after reading it, as only in the early morning, he needed to have 19 customers in six days for completing the mission successfully.

He then thought of the window disappearing, and the quest screen disappeared the next moment.

Since he had nothing to do, he thought of his status screen, and the next moment, a blue window containing all his details appeared in front of him.

There was only a small increase in his strength and agility. The next moment, he thought of the skill Ability-Learning, and a new blue window containing its detail appeared.

Aakesh nodded after reading the details of the skill. The skill ʼSword-Projectionʼ was greyed out as he couldnʼt use it anymore.

The next moment, both the windows disappeared with a wave of aakesh hands. Aakesh then sat on his chair and waited for new customers to come as there was still more than an hour until the store closed.

He didnʼt have to wait long as he noticed a female human entering his store.

”Excuse me, is this the store where Mark regularly visits?” The lady nervously asked as she got scared seeing a blue-skinned man expressionlessly looking at her.

”Yes!” Aakesh responded.

”Senior, I want to enter Panagea,” She nervously said. 

She was Markʼs wife, and since Mark returned home yesterday, he hadnʼt stopped talking about Panagea. At first, it was impossible for her to accept that someone could let somebody enter a new world where they could grow powerful and never die. But she had to believe her husband, seeing how enthusiastic and serious he was about Panagea. So today, when she got free from her work, she decided to enter Panagea.

”Okay! But since the store is only an hour away from its close time, you can only enter Panagea for an hour,” Aakesh expressionlessly informed her.

She nodded as she only wanted to see the world of Panagea. ”How much for an hour?” She then asked Aakesh as she didnʼt ask her husband anything about it, and it was also a surprise for him.

”50 inferior Primal stones for activation charge and 25 inferior Primal stones for an hour entry,” Aakesh expressionlessly told her.

The lady nodded and handed Aakesh 75 inferior Primal stones. Although it was expensive for her, she thought it was cheap after hearing so much from Mark about Panagea.

”See that room! There would be five portals, and you can enter in any one of them,” Aakesh expressionlessly said as he pointed at the portal room.

”Seven more to go!” Aakesh commented after Markʼs wife entered the portal.

Time flew by, and one hour passed. Markʼs wife was forced out of Panagea after one hour was complete.

She had a disgruntled expression when she appeared in the store. ”Senior, please let me stay there for one more hour,” She pleaded to Aakesh after coming out.

”No, itʼs time for me to close the store,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

She wanted to complain, but the next moment, she found that her feet were out of her control and started moving out of the store on their own. She looked at Aakesh with a horrified expression, but Aakesh had no change in his face.

When she got out of the store, Aakesh closed the door of the store on her face. She stomped her foot in irritation and left the store as it was already dark.

After closing the store, Aakesh disappeared from the store and appeared in the selection ground. He picked up his bow and then appeared in the familiar arena in the midst of cheers.

He selected the option of the second stage when the window appeared in front of him. His opponent arrived in the arena moments later, wearing a cold expression. The bell then rang and announced the start of the fight.

Right after the bell rung, an arrow tearing the space flew from Aakeshʼs bow. His opponent dodged the arrow with ease as he disappeared from there and appeared in front of him.

”Clang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed as Aakesh had to use his bow to defend himself from the swing of the sword.

The fight continued, Aakesh had been defensive for most of the time, but his opponent was never able to put any kind of pressure upon him.

The sound of metal clash continuously rang on the battlefield as arrows and sword clashed. Suddenly the air in the arena turned colder.

Aakesh realized that an attack was coming at him, so the next moment, a shower of arrows covered the sky of the arena aimed at the opponent while the projection of a giant sword appeared above the opponent.

Aakesh then used the second skill of the bow as the weight of the arrow increased, and then they started bombarding into the sword while a transparent shield engulfed Aakesh.

The next moment, the sword fell, aiming for Aakeshʼs head, while the heavy arrows continuously bombarded into the sword, decreasing its power with time passing.

When the sword finally fell on the shield, the shield and the sword both disappeared at the same time. Neither Aakesh nor his opponent won this battle of skills.

Aakesh stopped the battle that moment as there was no point in continuing the fight anymore since his defense and the opponentʼs attack were equivalent, and he had no strong attack to defeat the opponent.

He then returned to the store and went to the portal room, as now it was time for his reentry into Panagea.
