Cursed Immortality



Jacob's heart raced on its own for the first time in many years after he heard about the lifespan part. This concept was completely mythical and straight out of stories and even sounded like a scam. But if it was true…

'Didn't this mean as long as this thing continues to devour others, my lifespan would never run out?' Jacob thought as he was really tempted now. 

But he didn't let the momentary greed cloud his judgment. Because as good as it sounds, it was still risky to let something unknown into his mind and create this Dreamscape Nightmare Realm. 

At least not until he confirmed it is absolutely safe. 

So, controlling his emotions, he asked, "Sorry, but I can't agree to this yet. What is the second way?" 

"Oh, come on, you still doubt me?" Nyx's sounded perplexed, "You're overly cautious, my master. Sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith." 

"I know, but you should understand it is too risky, and I'm pretty sure you won't let something unknown enter your mind, right? I can't just take your word for it. I've known you for what, five minutes?" Jacob sneered as he found Nyx's protest incredibly ridiculous. 

He already had the cursed immortality, so being overly greedy would be a fatal flaw. 

"Hmph, up to you. The second way depends on you. It should probably have the same effect if you can isolate me from this space. But it all comes down to whether you have a way to achieve the impossible. 

"Because if you can't, then you have to wait until I'm born, and I'm pretty sure once I'm out, the restriction on me might become powerful, and then you don't even have to lift a finger, for I'll die for attacking you. So, decided quickly, I'm getting closer to it!" Nyx told anxiously. 

Jacob fell into silence and frowned, 'Isolate it from this space? Will Infinity Pendant work? Or should I try to store this in the solar plexus like Autarch? But do I even know how? This thing is very different from Autarch, but I definitely can't get it into my mind without being certain. Let's try first.' 

"Alright, I have a storage space that can keep you, but I'm not sure if it works or not. Or if you have a way to enter my solar plexus, this might work as well." Jacob proposed his plan. 

If this doesn't work, he would have no choice but to find the exit from this trial and then ask Immortika and come back for Nyx. This was the only way he could think of to take Nyx away. 

'Could it be that this place loses its purpose now that the Nyx is gone?' Jacob thought with scrutiny. But he still wasn't clear, at least not until something confirmed it. 

At this moment, the voice that Jacob was desperately waiting for finally rang.

"Congratulations, Faceless Ancient, for clearing the Final Trial Condition!" 

His eyes shimmered in excitement, 'It really worked!' 

He quickly looked at the star watch, 

"Congratulations on Subduing the Beast of Necropolis: Unknown Nightmare!

"Your glorious deeds have been spread far and wide! 

"You have achieved something impossible!

"You have been rewarded with full Hunter's Legacy! 

"Hunter's Legacy (Unique Rank): Night Hunter's Aura & Spirit (Universal Scripture)"

 Jacob was astounded when he saw this notification, 'So subduing was an option from the start, but was it impossible to achieve? Cutting the connection with the trial plains resulted in subjugation, and maybe that's why it was impossible to achieve. After all, no brainwash being would be like Nyx.'

At this moment, a black vortex appeared in front of Jacob, and he knew it was time to reap his rewards and entered without hesitation. 

Outside the trial plains, Nelsen was sitting in his luminous room chatting happily with Ellie, who had a clear, annoyed expression as she was tired of his bragging. 

Suddenly, Nelsen eyes flashed with surprise when his star watch vibrated, and before he could check, a black vortex appeared behind him, making Ellie jump in fright. 

Nelsen's eyes widened when he looked back, but he didn't seem alarmed at all; instead, his eyes shone with killing intent. 

"He really cleared it in neck-breaking time. I guess it's time to meet the troublemaker!"
