Chapter 26 - Change
He had no claim over his throne due to being a bastard, but his father loved him very much. So he gave him some of his best soldiers to help him conquer a territory. Punta conquered the Kingdom known as the Blue Phoenix Kingdom. He then renamed it to the Bisan Kingdom, the surname he got from his father.
Since he was a Void Forging expert, he had a lifespan of ten thousand years even without any medicine. So Punta still had many years of life left to rule. But around two hundred years ago, he suddenly made his only son the king, shocking the entire Kingdom. Punta was a kind and generous king, so almost every citizen in his rule loved him. Many sat on hunger strikes to show the Punta that they only wanted him as the king.
The reason behind Punta abdicating his throne was the threat he was facing from one of his brothers. Punta was more talented than his brother, but he was a Tao seed expert and older than him by many years, so there was an immense power gap between them.
If he told his father about this, his father would solve the problem, but he did not want to use his father to resolve some brotherly issues. To get some time, he challenged his brother to fight in two hundred years. He gave his only son the throne and started a cultivation session for him only to stop the day before the challenge.
The system also told him the details about the current thing and many other pieces of information about the Bisan Kingdom and its neighbor Kingdoms or dukedoms.
After listening to everything about the Bisan Kingdom from the system, he nodded and told Lily about this place since she asked him.
"A Void Forging expert is the strongest. We can rule this place with our power," Lily responded with a smirk while swiping her claws in the air. As Lily has gotten over her headache, now she had only playing left in her mind.
"What are you thinking?" Aakesh gently slapped her head and glared at her.
"Nothing, I was just joking," Lily apologized while a glint passed in her eyes.
Aakesh could only smile wryly. How could he not know what this tiny devil was thinking after living with her for so long?
"If you ever leave the store without my permission, I\'ll ignore you after that," He sternly said to her because he knew if he let Lily leave freely, she would destroy the peace of the Kingdom with her little antics here and there.
Lily showed her tongue in response to Aakesh\'s stern warning. He smiled, seeing it. Lily knew he would never ignore her, and he knew Lily would never listen to him when it came to her playtime.
Aakesh couldn\'t wait for the door to open and meet ordinary beings who are happy with the way life is going on for them. In the previous store, he only got customers who were either dead or near death or who had all the problems of the world on their shoulders.
"Hey, system, open the door and let me go outside to see the world," He enthusiastically requested the system. Lily also started jumping around when she heard Aakesh\'s words.
[Host, it\'s currently the night in Visteerna. The Bisan Kingdom doesn\'t work at night, so there\'s no point in going outside. The door of the store will open in the morning.]
The system poured cold water on all of the excitement he had. Lily also stopped jumping around after seeing the change of expressions on Aakesh\'s face.
"Damn it!" He couldn\'t help but curse looking at the glass door.
[Ding.]
[Host, congratulation for starting your second phase of \'The First Store\' in the primal dimension.]
[The way you sell things will completely change from now on.]
[In the first phase of the store expansion, you sold treasures of all levels and all kinds according to the needs of the customer, but now you\'ll sell fixed products. The number of the products you would sell will grow with the completion of the quests. As time passes, this store will sell everything of every kind.]
[Host, I will no longer provide you any protection from now on, since you are free to leave the store, you would have to protect yourself from other creatures. Still, the system couldn\'t let any danger fall on you, so there will be costs if you want me to act.]
Suddenly, the system announced several things. Everything Aakesh learned about the race and language would come to use now since he has the title \'Myrioglot\' that gave him an affinity with the other races if he spoke their language.
Aakesh would be lying if he said he wasn\'t nervous about the new way of selling, but he was more excited about it than worry. He also was more powerful than anyone in the Bisan Kingdom. He was equivalent to a Tao palace expert. A Void Forging expert couldn\'t even itch him, let alone fight.
Furthermore, it told him what his first product would be and how much would it cost him if he used the system\'s help to save himself? After hearing it, he wished never to get involved in any situation where he would need the help of the system. The system also gave him a skill like usual it was a support skill. It was named \'Chameleon-level\'.
The newly obtained skill allowed him to change his level as he desired or wanted to. No one would find a difference irrespective of their level. Even the Heavenly Monarch will not know anything.
