Cursed Immortality

Jacob Steve, an Old Man, died at 116 after living a whole life. But Jacob always had a dark side, which he always suppressed and hid from others. However, in the later years of his life, when death was inevitable, he understood there wasn't any point in having wealth, knowledge, or desires if you couldn't have a life to enjoy them. He became obsessed with fabled immortality and devoted his reaming life to extending his fleeting lifespan, but just like any other, he failed. However, he mysteriously got another chance at life and found a way that led to fabled immortality. But he was also forewarned that the way led to it was filled with blood and darkness! In the end, Jacob chose it anyway with no way of going back, and it was also the start of his suffering and his icky, brutal journey toward the 'Immortality' he wanted so badly! ______ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hRdqxaVE

A Ghost from the Past (4)

Jacob's eyes narrowed when he heard Percy's unexpected conjecture. Seeing Rudolph's reaction, he knew there was some truth in Percy's speculation.

"Why did he consider this possibility?" Jacob asked.

"Percy didn't just investigate the others, but he also secretly poked around the temple, and then he discovered that there were similar cases of Sebastian Edgar's children dying mysteriously.

"Percy found it quite strange that no one had ever investigated them or those cases were buried as if someone didn't want anyone to touch them. Furthermore, Percy only managed to get his hands on this information because he secretly snuck into his father's library and discovered a secret compartment with the help of his eyes.

"But he was too afraid to confront his father about it because this matter was directly related to the Pope, and he knew that if this involved some kind of secret of the Pope, he wouldn't be able to live long whether he had his technique or not.
