Cursed Immortality



In the dead plains, Jacob was hunting every dark being of the epic rank that he came across. 

After hunting for a few hours, he finally managed to reach the threshold Epic Rank Hex Core and 99 new rectified stars were unlocked, and a new innate hex!

This hex's name was Berserker Hex. This hex, unlike his previous hexes, didn't affect others but Jacob himself! 

By using this hex, his physical strength would triple for five minutes. But once this hex effect is over, his body would be weakened by 70% for fifteen minutes, and this time period can't be removed by any healing magic or item. 

Although this hex was extremely potent, its side effect would put him in a vulnerable state, so it was a double-edged sword that Jacob wouldn't use unless necessary. 

Thereafter, Jacob didn't linger and found a seclusive area and took out Nyx!

While still in its egg state, Nyx cheerfully exclaimed the moment Jacob took it out, "No more restraints! I'm really out! But what took you so long, my master? What was that place? It was so dark that even I couldn't see anything or use my powers. It was extremely suffocating! If not for my connection with you, I would've been scared to death!" 

Jacob looked at the dark egg in his hand and frowned, "So you see nothing?" 

It was his first time hearing about the inside of Infinity Pendant. Although he could see everything in it, it was limited to the area he had unlocked or given access to. But Nyx seemed to be not seen other items, which was quite peculiar. 

"What? Do you think I'm lying? I simply can't lie to you, my master. That place was really strange. It was even more ghastly than that space." Nyx truthfully told with a hint of lingering fear, "Just what is that treasure?" 

"None of your business," Jacob replied coldly, as he wasn't going to tell anyone about his biggest secret even if the other party couldn't betray him. 

"Stingy still…" Nyx commented in displeasure. 

Jacob ignored the indignant egg and said, "I'm willing to let you create that Dreamscape Nightmare Realm. What do you need me to do?"

"Finally!" Nyx exclaimed in happiness, "Since now you are my Nightmare Contractor, it's very easy. Because I'm your servant, without your permission, I can't create the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm. But now that you give me your permission, it'll be very easy." 

"You don't need to hatch first?" Jacob asked with a frown. 

"Actually, I can be born in two ways. First, independently, this process would take a long time, and I need to absorb a huge amount of nightmare realms. 

"Back in that place, although I was confined, that space suddenly started to provide me with ample nightmare realms. That's how I awakened my abilities, and if I had stayed there for some time, I would've been born already. 

"The second way is to find a nightmare contractor and then create my Dreamscape Nightmare Realm and be born in it. Although I don't know the difference between the two, I had a feeling that if I were born after creating a Dreamscape Nightmare Realm, it would be better for me than being independently born.

"So, if I have your permission, should I start?" Nyx asked excitedly. 

Jacob was surprised to hear this. Although he still had doubts about Nyx's origin and why it was left there if it was so magical, he decided to ignore those doubts. 

Just like Immortika said, he'd be paranoid in any case, so he decided just to do it since it was safe. 

"Alright." Jacob solemnly approved. 

The next moment, the dark egg in his suddenly shimmered in a dark hue before mysterious glyphs emerged on its smooth surface, and it started to turn ethereal. In a moment, it turned into a dark streak and shot into Jacob's glabella! 

Suddenly, Jacob felt lethargic, and the next moment, his closed as his consciousness descended into the depths of darkness. 

After an unknown amount of time, Jacob suddenly regained consciousness and found himself standing in a bright white room filled with all kinds of hospital equipment. In the middle of the room was a coot, and all the equipment was connected to it. 

Shocked, he knew this room too well because he had it built in the final days when he was about to live on those machines to prolong his life. 

Furthermore, he noticed that he was no longer a giant but a skinny old man with withered skin. "Why am I here?" he muttered in his raspy voice. 

"So this is your nightmare? Strange." Nyx's voice suddenly sounded, and the next moment, a dark corporeal mist appeared beside him. 

Jacob took a step back, nearly falling, when he looked at the dark mist and couldn't help but exclaim, "Nyx? Is this your doing?" 

Nyx's voice sounded, "Not me! This is your Dreamscape Realm, or was, before I turned it into Dreamscape Nightmare Realm! Even I don't know what would've happened before I took root in your dreamscape realm. 

"Now that I'm born, I have new memories as well. This place is your biggest nightmare, and as my master, you are pulled here, as I explained before. If you want, you can change this place into anything now and even give me a body of your liking. 

"Because of our servant and master contract, my real body is now completely merged with your Dreamscape Realm, and I can only exist in dreams. I promise, I don't know that before." Nyx sincerely told. 

Jacob was finally able to calm down after hearing it, and then he tried to change this place, and the next moment, the entire room suddenly changed into a flower garden with all kinds of exquisite flowers, roses, and rare flowers. The air smell was extremely pleasant, and anyone would think of this place as a paradise. 

Jacob's old body also changed into his new one as he returned to begin normal like he was before awakening the fighting giant spirit. 

Even he felt extremely shocked as he saw the familiar place of his memories appearing with just a thought. This was too magical. 

Then he suddenly thought of something before he looked at Nyx, and the next moment, she turned from the dark mist into a beautiful young woman with a tall and slender body, long golden hair, and bright, starry blue eyes that could rob anyone's soul. The beautiful white dress and the surrounding flowers bring out her enthralling beauty even more, capable of mesmerizing anyone. 

Jacob fell into a trance, looking at the sharp, graceful, fairy-like face that he would never forget, even if he turned into dust. Seeing her after so many years feels like an eternity, and only he knows just how much he missed this woman and longed for her… 

Furthermore, the beautiful garden was also a place he built just for this woman, as they both spent time here after he let go of his obsession with wealth and weapons. Those final years spent with her here made this memory the most cherished memory he had with the love of his life… Hope!
