810 Panagea of the Sacred Dimension!
Chapter 810: Panagea of the Sacred Dimension!
The world inside the Panagea was the same for the adventurers of the Primal dimension and the Sacred dimension.
But there were still bound to be differences as Aakesh had come to the Sacred dimension after a long time, and the customers of the Primal dimension already had a long headstart.
At the same time, the time flow rate between the Primal dimension and the Sacred dimension was one to one thousand. So when only one day would pass in the Sacred dimension, one thousand days would have gone by in the Primal dimension.
It meant that the customers of the Primal dimension would get a longer time to level up in Panagea. Since the difficulty was the same for everyone, the customers of the Primal dimension would leave the customers of the Sacred dimension in the dust when only a few years would have passed for the customers of the Sacred dimension.
At the same time, there was also three times the time rate in Panagea for the customers in the Primal dimension, but in the Sacred dimension, it was a normal rate. So the customers here had even less time to catch up to the customers of the Primal dimension.
(A/N: I know it will look strange to many readers. In simple words, the system forcefully matched the time rate to the Sacred dimension while not affecting the time rate in the Primal dimension in any way.)
The system wanted to be unbiased toward customers from each dimension, but at the same time, there were things like luck.
Panagea was supposed to activate when Aakesh ascended to the higher dimensions. But as his luck was running great at that time, he got it only in his first roulette of new products.
The system wasn’t going to give advantages to the customers of the Sacred dimension to win over the Primal dimension customers. But what the system did to manage the power level gap was that any adventurer native to the Sacred dimension wouldn’t start from level zero, but they would be a Level 100 adventurer right from the start.
Starting from Level 100 didn’t mean the end of the first quest. The customers from the Sacred dimension would need to complete the first mission to unlock their status and energy level.
Until the completion of the first quest, the adventurers would have the physical strength of a Level 100 in Panagea, but they wouldn’t be able to use any energy.
Starting from Level 100 wasn’t a fortune for the adventurers since the first quest would match their level, increasing the difficulty comparison of the missions for the customers of the two dimensions.

Favan found himself in a city dominated by a race earlier unknown to him. But since he appeared here, he knew the usual information about the race as well as he could speak their tongue.
Favan got his first quest, and its difficulty sent chills down his spine.
But Favan believed that Panagea would be a game changer for his destiny, so gritting his teeth, he persisted in the quest.
While Favan was doing the quest, one hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Favan suddenly heard a voice in his head asking him whether he wanted to pay for the next hour or not.
The caution Favan held in his heart earlier now had no place, as he directly paid for the next five hours. At that moment, he didn’t even care about shrinking his life savings by more than half and got busy completing the quest.
Time flew by, and the remaining five hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Favan had a frustrated look as he was forced out of Panagea by the system.
“Store owner, please let me enter for more hours. I am very close to completing my quest,” Favan pleaded to Aakesh, as his mental strength was not right after dying several times in Panagea.
It wasn’t the first time for Aakesh to see a customer like the man in front of him, so he bluntly refused.
“Come back tomorrow,” Aakesh expressionlessly stated.
Favan’s face turned ugly as his pleadings didn’t help him. But soon, he calmed down as his eyes fell on the rule board.
Favan did not want to get blacklisted for life, so he turned around and left the store.
After coming out of the store, Favan unleashed all the curse words he knew on the store owner and the quest for being so difficult.
Cursing didn’t help Favan much in calming down, so he rushed toward Moonlight street.
Moonlight street was a famous street in Thorr city, as it was solely reserved for the pleasure of the flesh.

Aakesh had no idea about Favan’s outburst. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared.
The day was far from over, so Aakesh waited for new customers.
When around half the day had passed, a movement happened inside the store’s hall, as a door appeared, floating in midair.
Lily stretched herself as she came down through the stairs.
“Oh, you are awake,” Aakesh smiled, seeing Lily jumping on his head.
“Did no one arrive?” Lily asked as she noticed that none of the virtual portals were gray.
Lily knew it was only the first day, so the scenes wouldn’t be like what she used to see in the Primal dimension.
Time flew by, and several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The store was only seven more hours away from closing, but there was no sight of the second customer until now.
Since Aakesh could do nothing but wait, he continued to relax in his chair. Lily, on the other hand, had already left for Panagea.
Lily would also face the brunt of the different time rates in Panagea, so she decided to begin her usual schedule of staying in Panagea while only coming out for a few hours outside.
Time flew by, and more hours passed.
Aakesh hoped that Favan would promote Panagea to other Vurrons since the system prohibited the store owner from promotion of the store.
But Favan didn’t do as Aakesh hoped since he wanted to be an exclusive customer of Panagea. He wanted other customers to be as late as possible so that he could start big before others.
Favan was currently seated in the Royal Bank to ask for a loan to solve his dilemma of not having enough Sacred stones to continue being a store customer.
“How many Sacred stones do you want for a loan?” The officer in charge of the loan department asked Favan.
“Nine hundred lesser Sacred stones,” Favan responded as he already had the amount in his mind.
Staying in Panagea for six hours for twenty-five days would cost around nine hundred lesser Sacred stones. Favan already knew about the earning potential from the Panagea since Aakesh had told him, so he wanted to give him that many days at least.
There was also another reason for him asking for only this amount and not more since the Royal Bank asked for a guarantee when the loan amount reached one ordinary Sacred stone.
“Since your loan is below one ordinary Sacred stone, your monthly interest rate is fifteen percent,” The officer told Favan.
Favan nodded since he was already aware of it. The interest rate was high, but it was the only way for Favan to have sufficient capital in his hands.
The following process was easy as the Royal Bank was known for its hospitality.
Favan had an excited expression as he left the bank with a heavy pouch of stones tied to his belt.
