Cursed Immortality

Chapter 26 ! (2)

Jacob suddenly opened his eyes in bewilderment as he looked around and saw himself in black liquid, and Pig Face, broad, ripped back, could vaguely be seen.

ʼWas it a dream?ʼ Jacob thought, but he soon shook his head since it was too vivid for a simple dream and confirmed it since it was straightforward.

He looked at the button panel, which was inside the glass cellʼs top corner, and pressed the button, making the black liquid sink.

ʼThis cell is probably more advanced than the other one, or itʼs just that the other cell is for prisoners or something,ʼ Jacob mused as he saw his vision becoming clearer.

He saw his body and smiled bitterly. There wasnʼt any chance, except the small hole in his chest was gone entirely, and he didnʼt feel any pain in his heart.

ʼI should be that black liquid, I guess.ʼ Jacob nodded in satisfaction before his eyes landed on the pendant, and he was astonished when he saw the white infinity symbol right in the center of the snake circle.

ʼInfinity Pendant, huh.ʼ Jacob touched the white infinity symbol, which was as smooth as jade and spinnable. There was nothing extraordinary about it except its new appearance. No one would believe it if Jacob said it was a treasure.

The glass cell slid open at this moment, and Jacob came out with a hint of excitement on his bony face.

”You can go back and use the blue liquid now.” He first excused Pig Head before he got closer to the table.

Jacob looked at Deckerʼs journal and placed his hand on it before he thought of storing the book inside the infinity pendant, and the book instantly vanished!

Jacob nearly laughed out loud when he saw this was really a storage treasure that he had read about in all those fantasies, which also confirmed that it wasnʼt a dream.

He quickly calmed himself down and again thought of taking the journal out before it emerged in Jacobʼs hand again!

After trying a few more times and getting the hang of it, Jacob stopped playing with the infinity pendant.

ʼThis storage space is too little, only one cubic meter, but I guess I have to do with it now.ʼ Jacob thought before he stored Deckerʼs journal inside the infinity pendant again and moved toward the hidden compartment.

He removed the gray cloth in which cursed immortalityʼs incarnation was wrapped and saw palm size beast skin. He didnʼt forget Cursed Immortalityʼs last advice. Furthermore, he saw some red letters which, according to Deckerʼs journal, spell ʼCursed Immortalityʼ as well.

ʼDidnʼt that book say no one knows its name, but then why did its name engrave on this beastʼs skin, and how is it useful to me?ʼ Jacob couldnʼt help but think of this point as he found nothing special about this beastʼs skin or red letters.

ʼAccording to that bookʼs explanation, it was buried by the last immortal mark bearer, which was a ʼlizardʼ this means this book can be inherited by any kind of life form as long as they passed those vicious tests, not just humans, and Iʼm currently in a world filled with monsters.

ʼBut is it really as simple as it told me it is? I canʼt completely take that bookʼs words for truth. It can read my mind, but I canʼt, but since it still told the truth about the infinity pendant, I guess I have no choice but to believe it. Letʼs try summoning it now.ʼ

Jacob also thought before he stored that beastʼs skin in the infinity pendant. He also stored that Bloodline Scanning Scale inside the pendant since it was essential to him for measuring his lifespan.

Jacob sat down on the only chair in the room before he took a deep breath and thought, ʼCursed Immortality!ʼ

Suddenly, a white book appeared in front of Jacob, floating in the air.

It was slightly glowing in a black hue; its cover size was 9 X 12 and an inch thick. There wasnʼt any clue about its spine or pages. It was just like a slate. In the center of it were beautiful crimson words that Jacob could clearly understand despite never having seen them before. Those crimson words spell ʼCursed Immortality.ʼ Nothing else was on the cover.

Jacob was astonished at seeing the floating slate in front of his chest. He couldnʼt help but try to touch it, and he could and felt this bookʼs jade smooth cold cover.

Jacob tried to flip the slate to see the other side, but it turned like a book cover before revealing a white page in thin air. There were crimson words written on it as well. As for the cover, it vanished into the other side in the air.

ʼSo, thatʼs what it means when it said it was in its true form now. Does this mean this book is extremely thick that I canʼt fit in this room?ʼ Jacob wondered in astonishment. ʼTruly magical, really. I donʼt see and feel all this with my eyes and hands. I wouldnʼt believe itʼs real. But it still made me worry about just how thick this book is. Wonʼt I die before I complete it and archive immortality!?ʼ

Jacob wasnʼt swayed by just befits. His eyes were still on the facts.

He sighed before reading the very first page, which was the same size as its cover.

”Cursed Immortality: Cursed Immortal Physique (Nine Phases)

”Current Phase: First Phase

”First Phase: Body Transformation

”Stages of Body Transformation: Three

”First Stage: Cursed Heart Emergence

”Second Stage: Compete First Stage

”Third Stage: Compete Second Stage

”Inheritor (Jacob Steve) Current Stage: 10% of First Stage”

Jacobʼs eyes narrowed when he saw the very first page, which revealed little information with much mystery.

ʼWhy is there cursed everywhere?” Jacob finally paid attention to the word cursed, even though this bookʼs name was Cursed Immortality.

Before in his excitement, he paid little attention to it, but now that he did, he felt this book was defiantly now simple, and it didnʼt reveal everything clearly about itself!
