Cursed Immortality

Chapter 31 I’m Already Cursed

?Jacob controlled his urge to vomit everything out. He knew if he did, he might have to butcher someone in this room.

Drinking a mixture of bone marrow was far better than eating some humanoid monster. He wasn't ready for this.

Jacob somehow reached the wooden chair and sat down. He was feeling a freezing sensation in his stomach, and it was slowly reaching every part of his body. He could even hear his extremely fast heartbeat.

Furthermore, the deadly hunger was finally decreasing, and, for some reason, he was enjoying the cold sensation as his eyes started to turn drowsy. He just wanted to sleep all of a sudden despite just waking up, and in the end, he fell into a deep sleep on the chair in that, comfortable feeling.

At this moment, abruptly, hair grew on Jacob's bald head at an astronomical pace, while his bony body, which looked like a dry skeleton, started to slowly bulk.

The transformation has begun!

---

After some unknown time,

Jacob's eyelids trembled slightly before he slowly opened his eyes, filled with confusion as he quickly remembered he fell into sudden sleep out of the blue.

"My hunger has really reduced to a bearable degree, but it's still there. I can feel it, and according to that cursed book, it will only last a few weeks before it will come back even stronger…" Jacob mumbled helplessly.

Suddenly, Jacob's eyes landed on his hands, and he was astonished because his bonny hands were long gone, and mass had already appeared.

Although it was only a minimum, the change was obvious. His skin has also turned pale from yellowish.

Jacob quickly stood up with a hint of excitement, and suddenly he felt silk-like threads feel on his shoulder.

He couldn't help but touch the silky threads. "My hair has grown so big?"

Jacob was astonished, and when he saw his long hair, which had reached his shoulder, it was completely silver-white.

"An unusual color," Jacob mumbled.

He quickly stood in front of the glass cell and saw his vague reflection. He was shocked because before, he was bony, and now he was skinny. Although it was a small change, however, for Jacob, it was quite obvious.

Furthermore, his previous 1.6-meter height had also changed. He was now 1.7 meters tall and could feel much stronger than his previous weak self.

"This is only the result of a twenty percent transformation, and as I inject heart blood, the transformation will continue. Doesn't this mean I can become strong just by eating and sleeping?"

Jacob's heartbeat raised suddenly just thinking about it, and he felt it was all worth it!

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly as he heard a heartbeat from behind.

'My hearing has also grown!' Jacob was thrilled because he knew human hearing couldn't be this strong. 'This is truly magical!'

Jacob quickly calmed down and mused,

'Although my change is quite great and unnatural, I have to keep eating high-grade nutrition, or that hunger will come back stronger. I have to leave this place as soon as possible. Since this base is in some forest, there might be animals I can hunt with Pig-Head's strength. But this guy is strange. He didn't have any heartbeat like he was dead. This world is just too damn strange.

'Well, I don't care as long as I can use him. It's far better than eating him. This guy is like a strong killing machine; using him properly will bode significant results. But I have to deal with those traps set by that blind shit, and only he knew the safe passage.'

Jacob's eyes turned cold as he turned around and looked toward Decker's cell, filled with light blue liquid, which almost turned transparent.

He knew Decker was the key if he wanted to go outside, and he couldn't let Pig Head waste his strength just to cross some traps. It would affect his plans.

"I know you're awake. Let's have another chat." Jacob said impassively.

He could now feel the slightest change in Decker's heartbeat, just like Decker before.

Jacob released Decker, who remained stoic.

"You can speak freely." Jacob again sat in his chair.

Decker said in his husky voice, "Just give up, human. I will never tell you anything!"

"How stubborn." Jacob chuckled coldly, "But I already know about you, 'Decker Shaw!"

Decker's expression finally changed when he heard his full name. He quickly guessed Jacob had already got his hands on his hidden journal, which also meant he got the treasure book he stole right under the giants!

"Bastard… Bastard… cursed you!" He started to utter in a mad frenzy.

How could he endure when the fruit of his labor was eaten by the other?

He was now the enemy of a rarer race just because of that book, but now it would benefit someone else while he took all the blame and hate!

Jacob was quite pleased with Decker's expressions and said coldly, "Just give up and tell me everything I want to know, and I might leave you alone. What do you think?"

Although he got some information from Decker's journal, it wasn't enough and was too vague.

Decker was a veteran who had managed to pull the wool on the giants' eyes and escaped alive, and he could still get his hands on all those materials and advanced equipment, despite the giants on his tail.

This alone proved his survival abilities and contacts, and Jacob wanted that all!

However, Decker madly replied, his voice full of hatred,

"You can go fuck yourself, your thievish bastard… you took everything from me. I was so close… so close… b-but you human ruined it all. I'll curse; you'll die in the same way as me, full of despair and bitterness!"

Jacob sighed heavenly, and his expression turned extremely icy as he said, with no hint of emotions,

"I'm afraid I'm already cursed…"
