BXBX NOVEL Chapter 626
Chapter 626: Strange Encounter!
Even though Aakesh could now stay for twenty-four hours a day in Panagea, that increased time also came to an end since the sun was about to rise on the Visteerna continent.
Aakesh gained more than usual XP in today’s entry, but that was only due to him staying here for more hours. If Aakesh were to calculate the amount of XPs he would have earned in three days of entry in Panagea(eight hours every day), he must have taken a substantial loss.
Even though he gave twelve hours to use skills related to his class, that increased time didn’t help him. Aakesh seemed to have terrible luck today as the city he was in faced a brutal attack from a beast wave, resulting in the complete decimation of the city. The only reason Aakesh survived was due to his skill, Fortune Eye.
When he activated the skill, he could only see black lines above every citizen he came across, so Aakesh understood that something terrible was going to happen. At that time, an automatic quest window had emerged in front of him.
Aakesh would have accepted the quest if not for the warning below it.
[Warning: Adventurer, the current you have zero percent chances of surviving the beast wave, so be cautious when you accept the quest.]
Since the quest itself gave such warnings, Aakesh didn’t accept it since he hadn’t failed any of them until now, and he wanted to continue the success streak.
Considering the excessive black lines over the citizens and the warning given by the automatic quest, Aakesh left the city, wasting too much of his time in returning to a safe area where the beast wave would not harm him.
***
After the system told Aakesh about the sun rising on the Anga continent, Aakesh decided to call an end to the day in Panagea. The next moment, he disappeared from Panagea and appeared in the store’s hall.
Since there was still some time in the sunrise, Aakesh summoned the room to his door and the stairs connecting it to the floor.
Time flew by.
The sun finally rose on the Anga continent. Its rays dispersed any darkness prevailing in the area and in the lives of many citizens. The day brought new excitement into the lives of many, and many of them were currently standing in a queue outside a mysterious store in a Kingdom present in the extreme southern parts of the Anga continent.
The reason for such excitement was the news the supreme card’s owner had gotten yesterday night. They couldn’t wait to enter Panagea.
***
“Hey, do you know the reason for such a rush into the store?” A person who was traveling across the Kingdom came across a queue, so he couldn’t help but ask the standing person nearest to him.
“You need to know it yourselves,” The person turned around and replied. It was a female.
“Hmph, acting so mysterious,” The man couldn’t help but scoff, hearing the female’s response.
As if the scoff was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, everyone around him glared at the man. The man wanted to say something, but no words came out of his mouth, and soon his back had gotten wet from fear, facing the glare of so many people at once.
“Your majesty, do you want me to throw this man away?” Suddenly a towering man stepped forward, bowed in front of the female, and respectfully asked.
The lady was none other than Vanya, the King of the Bisan Kingdom.
The man’s jaw dropped to the ground, and soon his face turned pale. The man had never expected the person to be King of this territory. If the man knew about it, he wouldn’t have used that tone even in his dreams.
“No, who am I to throw a customer of the store?” Vanya responded and then turned back, ignoring the look of relief on the man’s face.
“Thank you, your majesty, for forgiving this insolent man,” The man couldn’t help but bow and thank Vanya for not doing anything.
Vanya ignored the man’s thanks as the sun had finally risen, and it meant that the time for the store to open had finally arrived. As expected, suddenly a clicking sound rang in the area as the store’s door opened.
Even those who stood at a distance of thousands of miles away from the store heard the clicking sound and knew the store had opened for the day.
The man who had finally felt a wave of relief for surviving got dumbstruck after understanding the extent of the thing he had heard. First, the King stood in the queue for a store, and second, the King refused to harm him for using that tone with her as if she wasn’t worthy to give him punishment since he was a customer of the store.
The man couldn’t help but get an intense feeling of hunger to know what was going on with the store as if it was the most significant thing he could do in his life.
The man’s name was Ben, and he originally belonged to the Malla continent. The Malla continent was one of the twelve continents in Visteerna and was the nearest to the Anga continent.
Ben had been stuck in Tao Manifestation for thousands of years, so he was in meditating sessions for the last two hundred years, but since even that failed in him getting an epiphany, Ben decided to travel to Visteerna. The first stop in his destination was the Anga continent since it was the weakest and nearest to the Malla continent.
Since the Malla continent was south of the Anga continent, Ben came to this place first and found the queue for the store.
***
As the tradition was, Aakesh opened the door of the store after the sunrise.
As usual, a crowd filled with tens of millions of customers stood outside the gate. As Aakesh surveyed the people, he noticed a large number of supreme card owners standing in the queue, unlike the previous days.
Aakesh then turned around and proceeded to his chair while the customers standing outside the store poured into the store like a raging tide.
In no time, the overcrowded street turned into an empty area while the store accommodated all of them.
