The First Store System

Chapter 45 - Space Ring

Chapter 45: Space Ring

"I can't make you the most stable space ring, but I can make you one of the best when it comes to security," Aakesh expressionlessly told Maria. She only nodded in response to him. She had already said yes, so there was nothing for her to consider.

Over the millennia, he had learned many things, and making a space ring was one of them. He already had the material to create one.

His mastery over the element of space was even better than Heavenly Monarch, so he only needed space stone and Mythril to make a perfect space ring.

The space rings he had collected, he could use their material instead of crushing them like usual. Since his mastery over space was almost perfect, he could easily separate the Mythril and space stone.

After getting affirmation from Maria, Aakesh started doing his work. He firstly separated Fred's ring as it had the best quality out of all the space rings, and he could use it as the primary material and the material of the other 100 rings as the supplementary. It was also the only space ring that was created by using Mythril since it's an expensive material in the Primal dimension.

It was going to be a bother since it was hard to protect the content inside the rings while separating the space stone and the Mythril. He focused entirely on the space ring. He slowly started taking all the contents out while carefully separating the space stone.

Time flew, several minutes passed, and a mountain emerged in the center of the store. If anyone entered the store right now, their eyes would get blinded by seeing the treasures lying on the ground.

Only the last ring was left for him to separate the materials. After dividing it, he had 101 space stones and one inch of Mythril. He threw other materials of the rings away since he wouldn't use them to destroy the integrity of the Mythril.

Maria was counting the Primal stones after Aakesh brought them out. Her eyes shined seeing this many stones. Even when her family was at her peak, she had never seen so many Primal stones.

There were around 12000 inferior, 5890 ordinary, and sixteen top Primal stones only in Fred's ring. There were also several pills and treasures. If she sold them for money, she would never have to work in her life again. She could enjoy the life of a young master without working just from the wealth of a single space ring.

After Aakesh completed the process of separating the materials, Maria also completed the counting process. In total, she got 948000 inferior, 7400 ordinary, and eighteen top Primal stones.

If she calculated the value of pills and treasures she got from the rings, the number became so horrifying for her that she had to take a deep breath to calm herself down. She could start an influential family only from the wealth of these 101 space rings. She finally knew the difference between the Schiller family and the other influential families.

She then secretly took a look at Aakesh and couldn't help but feel sad for the Schiller family. To lose all their wealth because they created an undefeatable enemy and a bastard son was a tragedy for the family.

Aakesh remained oblivious to her thoughts and continued focusing on creating a space ring for her. He was currently sizing up the largest space stone of the lot. He couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, seeing the impurities. He couldn't help but murmur, "What a disappointing Blacksmith!"

Maria only smiled wryly, hearing Aakesh's murmur. The feeling of anticipation also emerged in her heart for the ring after seeing how focused he was on making it.

Aakesh first had to remove the impurities of the space stones before creating a ring. Otherwise, he would be insulting himself as well as the system. He snapped his finger, and the next moment a fire even darker than the night appeared in the store. It was floating in front of him. The moment it emerged, the store became dark as if the night had arrived. But the next moment, the light returned to the store by the system.

Maria had to move two steps away from the fire since she felt the danger to her life just by standing near it. Aakesh ignored her reaction and casually threw the space stone into the fire.

"Let me see your capability to purify," He uttered after throwing all the 101 space stones into the fire. The next moment, the fire started flickering wildly, as if it was angry that someone dared to challenge it.

"Don't need to act so wild. If you can't even purify this much, you aren't worth the name of ____," He went two steps further and challenged it even more.

While Maria rubbed her ears as when Aakesh uttered the name of the fire, she couldn't hear anything as if she had become deaf.

"Hmph," Suddenly, a scoff echoed in the store that made Maria stumble to the ground. It was the voice of the fire, and it stopped acting wild and accepted the challenge. Aakesh had no response to its scoff, and he expressionlessly looked at the fire burning the space stones.

Since the space stones belonged to the void, they had no color, and they appeared black to everybody. Aakesh could see golden spots emerging on the space stones as the fire purified them of all their impurities.

The purification continued for several seconds. When the process was complete, the fire threw the space stones out at him, but it stopped automatically on its own before it could hit Aakesh. Another scoff echoed in the store, and the fire disappeared as if it found insulting to stay here for even one more second.

Aakesh didn't care for the fire's actions. Instead, he focused on the purified space stones. They regained their black color back. He couldn't help but nod, seeing them. The fire had purified the space stones without even reducing their size.

He didn't wait and melted the other 100 space stones and joined them to the main. He then focused on the Mythril. He didn't need to purify it, so he put pressure on it to take the shape of a ring, and he embedded 'The First Store' into it in human letters. He then melted the combined space stone to the Mythril.. The space ring was finally complete.
