The First Store System

Chapter 449: History(1)

“Boom!”

The earth ball clashed on the spot where Ronald was just a moment earlier, and a loud explosion occurred, resulting in a cloud full of dust, broken tree branches, and leaves.

Ronald, who had leaped on the tree only a moment earlier, was thrown aback by the sudden blast.

Fortunately for Ronald, his quick reaction saved him from harm that may have come his way due to the earth ball.

But before he could even stabilize his foot, another earth ball came his way.

This time, he came in direct contact with the ball.

“Boom!”

The next moment, a loud explosion rang in the area, and Ronald got thrown back hundreds of meters away.

After the cloud of dust subsided, a pit filled with pointed rocks appeared on the spot.

“Ugh!” Ronald groaned in pain as several of his bones had gotten broken due to the throw.

“Roar!”

The next moment, an angry roar rang in the area as the beast appeared in front of Ronald.

“Ugh! How can you use an earth ball?” Ronald groaningly asked.

The beast in front of him was an Elecoon. The beast had red fur across except for the face, where it had white fur. It had a raccoon-like face and two tiny tusks emerging from its nose.

Ronald asked the question because Elecoon was a beast that had control over the element of fire, but here, it released an earth ball to attack him.

The beast ignored Ronald’s question and decided to stomp him.

Ronald wanted to run, but his legs weren’t in any shape to stand, let alone run, and he also had no skill strong enough even to injure the beast. He had no choice but to look at the foot, the size of half his body, approaching him.

Ronald had a frustrated expression on his face. It was entirely different from the mocking face he had earlier.

“Do you want to live?”

Ronald, watching his death approaching him, suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice appearing straight inside his head.

“Yes,” He answered. He didn’t think of anything at that moment as survival was the most important thing.

The next moment, something wet fell on Ronald’s face. He looked up and couldn’t help but get shocked.

The beast was slowly melting into a pool of blood.

A few seconds later, only Ronald remained there, lying in the pool of blood of the beast.

“You’re saved now. From today, you’ll be my slave.”

A voice rang in Ronald’s head before he could come to terms with the shock.

Ronald couldn’t help but frown, hearing the contents of the voice.

“How dare you call me your slave?” He angrily yelled, looking all around.

His reason for running from his house was the lack of freedom, so how could he even accept someone making him his slave. He would rather die than become a slave.

“It’s the price for saving you.”

“I don’t care about that. I would never become your slave,” Ronald replied.

“Argh, what did you do?”

The next moment, Ronald yelled in anger and pain. His already damaged leg suddenly burst open into a blood cloud.

“Accept the deal you made,” The voice rang in Ronald’s head in response.

“Fuck you!” Ronald responded.

In the past thirty years, he had faced even more dangerous situations and had come out of more severe injuries, so Ronald wasn’t afraid.

Nothing was worth more than the freedom to him, not even his life. If he knew about the deal, he would’ve never accepted it and would have let the beast stomp him to death.

The next moment, his other leg burst open. He didn’t cry in pain this time and only looked around. Since the voice directly came into his head, he didn’t know the direction from which it came.

Time flew by.

No matter what the voice tried, Ronald refused to accept the deal. In the end, the owner of the voice gave up, seeing the stubbornness and determination of Ronald.

“If not for you being the only one here, I would’ve killed you,” The voice rang in Ronald’s head for the umpteenth time.

Ronald didn’t say anything in response. At that moment, even talking would result in an unbearable amount of pain.

The next moment, a green light engulfed Ronald.

When the light disappeared, all the terrible injuries Ronald had, they completely disappeared. Even the numerous inner wounds he had received due to his arduous training over the past thirty years had gotten healed.

“Who are you?” Ronald asked the voice. Since it had stopped giving up on making him its slave, Ronald could now peacefully talk to it.

“You don’t need to know who am I?” The voice rang again in response, inside Ronald’s head, and had refused to introduce itself.

“You only need to know one thing. If you work for me, I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted,” The voice rang again.

“Where are you?” Ronald ignored the big statement of the voice and instead asked another question.

“Why do you ask so many questions?” As if Ronald stepped on the hurting veins of the voice by asking the question, it flared up.

Ronald had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard the sudden change in the tone of the voice. He wanted to leave the area, so he stood up.

When he attempted to take a step forward, he found himself to be frozen and unable to move his leg.

“Do you think you can escape from me after I saved you,” The voice rang in Ronald’s head as if mocking him?

Time flew by.

“What is it?” Looking at the strange ring in his head, Ronald asked with a confused expression on his face.

Ronald finally found out about the location of the voice.

At the place where the earth ball hit for the second time, it had resulted in destroying a node of an array spread across the entire Mysterious peak.

Ronald finally knew why no one had been able to travel to the end of the Mysterious peak, irrespective of their level.

The Mysterious peak isn’t a naturally built mountain, but it was an array used in sealing a creature.

As time passed, it started thriving with life, and now it was one of the mysteries of the Primal dimension, with even Void beasts not being able to unravel it.
