The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 1 Simple Shop
In the Nuar world, many races fought for supremacy. But after fighting for countless thousands of years, only one race was able to subdue everyone, the demon race.
The demon race is famous for its cruel nature and its incredible filthy deeds. They hated all other races, seeing them as lesser beings there to do their bidding. But because of their strength, no one dared to oppose their power.
The devil thinks that their reign will continue for a few more years, but they never realize that because of their perverted actions, more than half of the other races joined hands to make an alliance to thwart their leadership before it could even sprout.
Another war followed the rebellion of the allied races. The battles at that time were even bloodier and led to the extinction of several races.
The demons used their physically strong bodies and a large number of their subordinate forces to defeat the alliance. Both sides lost countless valiant warriors, but there was no stopping the fight.
After several dozen years of war, the two opposing sides promised to reach an agreement. They will divide the world in two, and both will live in their own separate worlds.
What happened was that they did not really divide the world in two, but instead, they would live in two separate continents, the Profound Dragon Continent and the Red Demon Continent. The alliance would stay in the former continent while the demons would stay in the latter continent.
There were three continents in the world of Nuar, but the third continent was plagued by countless ferocious beasts and there were even rumors of a rank 10 god beast residing within the continent. Thus, even demons were wary of the continent that everyone called the Holy Beast Continent.
Over fifty thousand years after the war between the alliance and the demon race, the alliance lived a harmonious life in the Profound Dragon Continent. There was a clash between them, but it did not reach a point where it should involve many races.

The Profound Dragon Continent, Beltran City, the capital of the Silver Wing Empire.
The Empire was founded by one of the strongest heroes of the alliance after the rebellion fifty thousand years ago, Grimgar Silveria.
The current emperor, Elyk Silveria II, has inherited the good genes of his ancestors. Despite his old age, he was already at the 8th rank God level. His strength was a deterrent force that frightened the peeping eyes of the neighboring kingdom.
And other than their powerful emperors, the empire was also known for its terrifying Silver Wing Army. And to be part of that army, one had to be at least at the level of a 3rd rank Crusader. That meant that everyone in the army was strong people.
On one of the busiest streets in Beltran City, many pedestrians are seen walking around. The sound of the crowd chatting could be heard on the busy streets. Restaurants and lodging are also seen everywhere. The fragrant aroma of delicious cuisine cooked by the most famous chefs in the empire persisted for a long time.
Some curious passersby sometimes glanced at the shop and sneered demeaningly after seeing his arrogant name. They shook their heads and walked past the shop, ignoring him.
A tall and handsome young man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail stepped out of the shop, his face emotionless as if he was not bothered by everyone's disdainful gazes. He sat lazily on a wooden chair that was placed outside his shop.
The young man's name was Jiu Shen, and he was previously a peak god who was brutally beaten and framed by the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou in the God Sealing Tower because the latter's second wife liked him. He mysteriously moved into this world after his death and a mechanical voice also spoke inside his brain to give him ‘mission’. The voice in his head kept telling him to brew wine every day to practice his wine-making skills.
Although he had been trapped for countless years inside the God Sealing Tower, he had also lived for thousands of years and he knew a thing or two about wine. Heck, he had even tasted Heavenly Void Dragon Urn belonging to Celestial Emperor Lao Gou.
He practiced wine-making skills after the endless ravings of the system inside his head, and he learned that he was actually gifted with it. In no less than a day, he was already able to make wine capable of preserving 60% of the true essence of the ingredients he used.
Even though it was only slightly more than half the amount of true essence contained in its ingredients, it was still an astonishing advance for someone who had practiced for just a day. Even most wine masters had to practice their skills for over several decades just to achieve what he had achieved in a single day.
He had been in Beltran City for over a month, but not a single customer had entered his shop. Not even a single person bothered to check what was sold in it, but he did not care in the slightest.
A chubby white cat meowed at the young man cutely before jumping on him and curling lazily in his lap. He rubbed the cat's head gently while looking at her expressionlessly. The fat cat closed his eyes happily for letting the young man rub his head.
It meowed sweetly at him as if it was asking for something. Jiu Shen's lips twitched upwards to form a thin smile, but his separated eyes never changed.
“Why would a descendant of a god beast like you only know how to eat?”
He brought the fat cat into the store and gave her the milk the system produced every day to give to the cat.
Jiu Shen indifferently paid attention to the cat he randomly named Ice while licking the milk provided by the system greedily.
