Chapter 1226: Another Attempt!

Around two hours had passed since the store opened its doors for the day.

Since no customer was approaching Aakesh, he called out the seventh Panagea's quest screen as it was close to completion.

The next moment, one large and one small blue screen appeared in front of him, containing the details of the mission and its progress.

[Mission Progress:

Days: 5000/5000.]

Aakesh looked at the screen and found that the store had completed the requirement of five thousand consecutive days. It meant that the store would now have more virtual portals for customers.

The traffic for the store had been exponentially growing, so the new portals would greatly help many customers who were unable to be regular adventurers due to a lack of spots.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The screens were still there when Aakesh heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. Aakesh turned in that direction and found an unfamiliar face approaching.

Aakesh then waved his hands, and the two screens disappeared, waiting for Aakesh to call them back.

At that time, the man stepped inside the store, and his eyes immediately fell on Aakesh.

Suddenly, an expression of fanaticism appeared in his eyes, and he charged toward Aakesh.

The system was about to act, but Aakesh requested the system not to, so it stopped. Aakesh wanted to see what the man would do. Soon, the man reached Aakesh.

The man didn't attack Aakesh but began to mutter incomprehensible syllables like a crazy maniac. It was indecipherable even for Aakesh. It wasn't due to him not knowing it; it was because what the man said was actually incoherent.

Aakesh recognized the language, but whatever the man said didn't make any sense at all.

Suddenly, Aakesh felt a chill crawling down his spine. 

'Is it a curse?" Aakesh mumbled since new energy was forming around him. He could feel nothing but malice in it.

Aakesh had remembered what the man said, so he also began to mutter the same incomprehensible words. Instead of doing anything to the man, it started to multiply the malice in the already large pool of energy, giving birth to a crisis in Aakesh's heart.

The system could no longer care for Aakesh's request and attacked.

"Keep his memory intact," Aakesh requested the system, not stopping it from attacking the man.

The man began to slowly disintegrate, and soon nothing was left of him. Not long after, a piece of memory was added to Aakesh's mind, showing him the life of the man.

Aakesh frowned when he found that Hartol was nowhere present in the man's memory. He also got the complete set of the indecipherable curse.

Even Aakesh felt surprised by the man's talent for curse-making. After reading the content, he understood that no matter who learned the curse, it would only help the man. Unfortunately for the man, he found himself in a place he shouldn't have been and attacked the store owner.

Since there was no customer, Aakesh decided to check the quest he had gotten due to Hartol. The next moment, a blue screen containing details of the mission appeared.

[Mission Objective: Spoil the Plan

Details: Your possession of a valuable item had made you an enemy of a strong organization. You foiled their plans to intrude on the store by exterminating the organization in the Primal Dimension, but for the Sacred Dimension they have planned an even more sinister situation for you,

Information: The pawn is too strong for you to defeat currently.

System's help: Materialization of a single weapon of your liking

Mission reward: Increase of one sub-level, upgrade of [Apocalyptic Blast], and one offensive and one defensive skill,

Failure Punishment: Decrease of a level and the store's shutdown for three thousand years.]

Not even one-hundredth of the time had passed, but there had already been three attacks from Hartol. Aakesh had a feeling that it was only going to grow.

Aakesh didn't fret over that since he was invulnerable inside the store. He only cared about what was causing Hartol to act like that.

Aakesh then stopped thinking about it since he could do nothing to Hartol at the moment. He then waved his hands, and the screen disappeared, waiting for him to call it back.

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

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair for the past few minutes when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.

Aakesh opened his eyes and turned in that direction. A customer who had only entered the store today was coming toward him with two skill cards in his right hand.

"Store owner, I want these two skills," The man requested, handing the two skill cards to Aakesh.

Aakesh nodded and took the cards from the man's hands. As he took a look at them, their details appeared in his head.

"You need to pay twenty-seven hundred twenty-seven higher Sacred stones," Aakesh informed the man.

The skills chosen by the man were of Master and King grade for True God cultivators, so they were expensive.

The man had already taken out the necessary amount because he was firsthand aware of the price. He then pushed the mountain of stones toward Aakesh.

Aakesh waved his hands, and the stones disappeared from the store. The next moment, an alert informing him that the amount was correct rang in his ears.

"The skills are yours…" Aakesh informed the man and also told him how to absorb the knowledge.

[Ding!]

Soon after the man left, several mechanical alerts bombarded Aakesh's head.
