Cursed Immortality

The epic Dark City has the same structure as the rare plains. The difference was its size was ten times grander than the rare plains one.

At this moment, in a luxurious hall, Jacob sat in front of a masked woman adorned in a blue dress, but her face was hidden.

However, her curvaceous body, long silky green hair, and creamy white hands showed she was a beauty. Her calm emerald eyes were looking at giant Jacob with a hint of shock. This was naturally the administrator of Dark City and held the highest dark noble rank, Dark Marquis!

Although she had heard Jacob was a giant, his height didn't match any report, and he wasn't wearing any mask, but his hair was black, and his eyes were blue; he was extremely handsome, not like the stories at all.

As for Sofie, who was calmly standing behind him, she didn't know who she was, but since she was with Jacob, she had to pay more attention to her. Moreover, she felt apprehensive of Jacob, as if he was a slumbering beast with terrifying might.

She was extremely sensitive toward danger because of her unique bloodline, and Jacob gave her a sense of danger like she had never experienced before that she didn't dare to look down on him.

Nonetheless, she didn't pry and was thrilled about Jacob appearing here since it meant he was serious about joining their side.

"Thank you for coming." She finally breaks the silence.

Jacob coolly nodded and replied, "The honor is mine. I hate talking in roundabout ways. So, let's not waste each other time; before joining the Dark City, I want to confirm something: if I become a personal member, will I have to hand over the medallion?"

He directly gets to the point since his main concern in coming here was to confirm what the Society Killer said. If he really had to hand over his medallion, then he would instantly leave since there was no room for discussion. He won't give away his medallion no matter what, especially since it was connected to higher plains.

"This…" Dark Marquis was startled hearing this since the last time Jacob didn't ask this.

But this time, he sounded quite cold. She replied hesitantly, "Mr. Ancient, this matter is far more complicated than you think."

Jacob shook his head, "No matter how complicated it is, I won't hand over the medallion no matter what. I'm quite confident in handling myself, and joining the dark city is for convenience's sake. But if I were required to give away the medallion, then I would rather try my luck alone. This is not negotiable. Now, you can decide how to proceed. Don't blame me for being boorish."

Now it was confirmed that the Unique Star Ocean Medallion really held importance even in the Dark City eyes, so the Society Killer's words were true. Jacob is even more determined to keep it now.

Dark Marquis really didn't expect Jacob to be so stubborn, and she wanted to pursue him, "Mr. Ancient I know you earn the medallion through risking your life. But it involved too many variables. Besides, you don't even need it, so why put your life at risk?"

Jacob smiled coldly, "Variables like the Zodiac Night Guardians, right? How about you let me worry about them? You just tell me if Dark City would let me in with medallion or not."

Dark Marquis's eyes widened when she heard that name, as she didn't expect Jacob to know about the Zodiac Night Guardians. But despite knowing he was still being nonchalant about them. She had clearly underestimated Jacob's resourcefulness and even suspected that he knew about the medallion's mystery.

She took a deep breath and deeply looked at Jacob's impassive expression as she gravely said, "Since you know, very well. You can join the Dark City, and to tell you the truth, Dark City will never ask their members to hand over anything, especially treasures they put their lives at risk to acquire. So please don't misjudge me. It's just that people's greed knows no bounds, and I'm very helpless in this matter as well. So, I hope you won't blame me for hiding the truth."

Jacob's eyes narrowed as he thought of something from her last words, "Don't tell me someone from the higher plains is after this medallion, and they belonged to the Dark City."

Dark Marquis's heart raced slightly as she didn't expect Jacob to guess the crux of the matter easily, 'No wonder those three wanted to eliminate him. He's too sly for his own good, but he has the power to back it up. I wonder if he could shine in the unique plains as well. Dark Duke will definitely make things hard on us, but this is also an opportunity…'

In the end, she nodded with resolve before a triangular black mirror appeared in her hand and placed it on the table in front of them.

"Since you think it through, I don't need to worry about anything. I'm not a coward either, and Dark City is not a place where anyone can run amok as they wish. This is the Dark Registration Codex; it will record your entry in the Dark City, and you'll be a personal member.

"By putting your hand on it, you will be agreeing to all the dark city rules and vow never to betray it. You can't kill fellow members of Dark City as long as you don't have proof of their crimes. You can't disclose sensitive information or secrets of Dark City to anyone. In times of crisis, you will help the Dark City the best you can. You can't leave the Dark City until Dark City betrays your trust, and you can't scheme against it.

"If you agree, then place your hand on it." She solemnly moved the mirror towards Jacob.

Jacob was surprised as he didn't expect Dark Marquis to be so decisive, even Sofie were moved by her determination. Despite knowing Jacob would trouble her, she still dared to accept it.

'This woman is not so bad.' Jacob thought, it was his first time encountering such a person in the Zodiac Plains.

Without hesitation, he placed his hand on the Dark Registration Codex. The mirror was warm, and suddenly, its surface rippled like water before gentle red light covered his hand.

Dark Rose's static voice sounded, "Do you accept Dark City Rules and Regulations for Personal Members? Please note, if you continue, you won't be able to back off."

Jacob suddenly felt something gripping his heart. This sensation was just like the Zodiac Oath Contract. This surprised him and also made his smile grow slightly, and he answered, "I accept!"
