Eternal Thief

"Why are you standing here like fools quickly capture him! That scoundrel steal my storage ring!" Dulce hissed at her bodyguards in anger. Her visage reddened with fury.

They both felt wrong after Dulce scold them, 'Didn't you just said to kill these slaves first?' They wanted to shout this but didn't dare after seeing Dulce ferocity. They quickly chase after Ace.

Dulce in her rage forgets about all those spectators and follows both of her guards inside this time. She was a princess of the kingdom and never suffer this kind of humiliation in her life.

She always acts like an aloof otherworldly being, and here everyone looks at her with reverence and worshiping gaze in these barren lands.

Even in her home no one ever dares to speak loudly in her presence. But now a little thief dares to mess with her and even dare to fight her, on top of that he steals her storage ring right under her nose.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ace can't open or take her things inside the storage ring without killing her or she removes her 'Qi Mark' on the ring of her own free will, Dulce would've definitely lost her mind from anger.

Because there were just too many important and precious things inside that ring and even the thing she came here for was inside!

That's why she was going in herself, to retrieve her storage ring as soon as possible.

Now she didn't want to interrogate him anymore, all she wanted was to kill him most painfully, and wash her humiliation and calm all the burning hatred in her heart.

--------

Ace was currently inside a first-floor room. He was looking at the brown storage ring in his hand. His eyes shine brightly.

This was his goal from the start. if he failed to kill Dulce in five minutes then he would take her storage ring only and escape!

She was so distracted by him that Dulce didn't even notice her ring taken away from her when she was thinking about his prowess.

After opening 9th Heavenly Gate, his soul threads have also become more sneaky and powerful. Even he was amazed and marvel by the proficiency of his self-created skill.

"I didn't have time she will notice her missing storage ring soon. I have to quickly find that formation plate and get rid of this barrier." He mutters under his breath.

Ace was about to search for the formation plate inside the storage ring when he suddenly remembered something that he almost forgets about in a moment of urgency.

'I can't open it without killing her, Shit!' He cursed in his mind as he finally remembered the system's words about storage space treasures.

Before he could curse his bad luck further he heard a cold voice in his mind,

Ace was currently looking at the panel of the system in a daze.

As he read his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. He didn't believe his eyes and think that system has been broken and showing wrong numbers and words. But no matter how much he checked with different methods the numbers remain the same.

'I'm freaking RICH' He nearly scream out loud.

"That vixen is way too rich!" Ace said in a daze. He finally understands the wealth of a kingdom princess.

"But now all these things are mine! You'll definitely split blood from anger once I escape here, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see your ugly mug myself at that time." Ace laughs evilly as he thought of Dulce's angry face.

Just all those storage rings inside that Dulce's ring were enough for making him smile ear to ear.

Because with this many storage rings he can upgrade his Thief Storage Space. He can now even convert all those pills into EXP, and with all those pills if he wants he can establish his foundation now. But when he remembered the risk involved with it he gave up on the idea.

The icy voice of the system awakes him from his sweet dream.

He saw on top of the transparent black main panel there were many grey-out pentagons.

Each pentagon was engraved with a different silver rune symbol. But not all of them were grey, five of them were shining with a golden light around them and the symbols on them were sparkling with silver dots.

These five pentagons of symbols were [Status Panel], [Mission Panel], [Notification Panel], [System Shop], and [Thief's Space] each had a different kind of rune symbol representing them.

Whenever Ace opened some kind of new function of the system, the pentagon with the rune symbol representing the same function starts to shine with a golden light around them from their grey state.

After that Ace can easily open or see that function with just a thought.

Right now, a symbol that resembles a 'Coin' was shining with blue light. This was the symbol of Thief's Space. Ace opens the panel with a thought just like he always does.

=======

[Thief's Space]

"[System detects enough storage space treasures to upgrade thief's space.]

[Upgrade Menu]

[Storage Space Treasures: 68]

[Two Storage Space Treasures with 1000 TP: 40 Cubic Meters Extra Non-Living Being Thief's Space]

[Storage Space Treasure {Low to High-Level Low Grades}: 63]

[Ten Storage Space Treasures of Low-Grad with 5000 TP: Unlocked the Living Being function of Thief's Space and 100 cubic meters of Space]

[Warning: If host unlocked the living begin storing function of the thief's space then the non-living begin function would be deleted by the system.]"

=======

He saw the thief panel with all the information about his things inside the thief's space. He saw a new upgrading function was added to the panel and read all this.

Ace was having a hard time deciding what to do after reading the new function and how will it work. He wanted to open this storage ring as soon as possible and only by converting the other low-grade storage rings into his own thief's space would he'll be able to do it.

He was in a dilemma, if he chose to only spend 1000 TP then the system would take only those 'trash storage rings' (Lowest Grade) from inside, and by doing it the system would have to open this ring. After that, he can do whatever he wants with the ring and save the 4000 TP as well.

Ace silently considers the pros and cons of this and finally comes to a decision. "System open the Living Being storage function!"

[Thief Points: 5960]

He saw his TP drops by half but he didn't care about them after thinking of the advantages of the Living Being storage function.

======

"[The function has been activated.]

[90 Cubic Meters also has been added]

[Thief's Space has been upgraded into Living Thief's Space]

[Now the host can store limited living being, and any non-living being inside as long as the space is big enough]

[Warning: Old upgrading plans have been deleted after the host reached the maximum limit of the storage space he can get with his current level of authority.]

[New upgrading plans will be available after the host upgrade his authority.]"

=======

Ace saw the symbol that resembles a 'Coin' was not empty in the middle anymore but there a strange creature type rune appeared in the middle of the coin. He guesses it was a symbol of a living being so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He wanted to ask some questions about how he would be able to upgrade his authority but remember he was still inside the nest of the enemy.

Now the ring no longer blocks his Qi since the Qi Mark of Dulce has been erased by the system.

He didn't even have the time to check his new storage space.

With a thought, Ace saw the big space inside the ring and it was clearly much bigger than his old thief's space.

He quickly notices a white stone plate with many rune symbols shinning on it. He immediately guesses what it was and quickly takes it out of the storage ring. He places the ring and white formation plate inside his own thief's space. And quickly leave to fetch Eva.

The escape was almost in his grasp.
