Cursed Immortality-Novel

A month passed after Jacob joined the Nightmare Knight Legion as a Reserve Zodiac Warrior.

This past month, Jacob never left his training room except for food, and anyone who tried to approach him would go back disappointed because of his cold attitude.

News about him being a blanker was already known by almost every member of the present in the building.

But Jacob remained unaffected, as if he didn't care about his fame.

Even toward the other members on the 100th floor, Jacob is indifferent, and when two of them try to visit him, they return without getting any response from Jacob, which makes them dissatisfied with this rookie.

After all, any member on the 100th floor would have their own pride. However, they wanted him to join their team since Jacob had a bright future if he awakened some rare element, but he was simply too arrogant in their eyes.

Even Nixon, who was secretly keeping an eye on Jacob, didn't expect Jacob to remain in his training room without even showing any kind of reaction.

He was pretty confident that after Jacob saw the missions on his star watch, he would research Dark Being and come running to him for help, but nothing happened.

Nixon started to doubt Jacob's mindset or even suspect he didn't know how to use Star Watch properly, but he didn't show it and waited patiently.

Because sooner or later, Jacob will start to feel the need for money once he spends all his credit and will join some hunting party.

As for going after Dark Beings straight, Nixon didn't even consider it because it was simply too suicide to hunt dark beings in the wild nation.

Even those extraordinary veterans didn't dare to venture into Wild Nation without a good reason, much less Jacob, who was new to Rare Plains.

However, today, Jacob left his room dressed in black clothes with a mask on his face. Only his emotionless eyes were visible. But he didn't go toward the dining hall but knocked on the door of Nixon's office.

Nixon, who was busy performing a set of strange movements, suddenly stopped hearing this unusual knock.

He pressed on his star watch, and Jacob appeared standing outside. His snake eyes glowed when he saw this, and he quickly headed toward the main office.

"Enter."

After standing for a while, Jacob heard Nixon's voice and entered the office.

He saw Nixon, dressed in a tracksuit sitting on his chair with a warm smile.

Jacob impassively said, without giving Nixon a chance to speak, "I'm leaving for Deep Swamp outside the Easter City."

Nixon didn't look shocked since he had expected this much. No one can live idle once they know the benefits of the alliance, and they will eventually start hunting for ZC or Gold Coins.

The rewards were simply too lavish for anyone to ignore, and he thought Jacob was the same.

"Do you want me to arrange a party for you?" asked Nixon coolly.

"No need, I'm going alone, and I also wanted to see the bustling of the Easter City and want to buy some equipment for myself. I'll be back in two or three months." Jacob stated.

Nixon didn't reject him and nodded, "It's a good idea. I was just wondering if you're eccentric. Go, and if you want weapons and gear check, our personal warehouse, you won't be disappointed, and the weapons here are far better than anywhere in the Easter City. Of course, it will still depend on your wealth.'

He chuckled jokingly before he continued, "Just be aware of the City Magistrate. He's a petty fellow and might be looking for a way to get back at me after I teach those two idiots a lesson.

"And also, if you want to raise your rank, just tell me I'll arrange a knight suitable for you but don't expect any cheating or easy way out of it.

"Although the recording will go back for an inspection, they won't be fooled if they find any tempering, and trust me; it's impossible to fool those inspectors. Many tried but were caught and then paid a painful price." He reminded Jacob with a hint of fear as if he had experienced it himself.

Jacob accepted Nixon's kind intention and nodded, "I'll be careful. I'm just going to earn some money. I know my limit."

Nixon's smile widened, "Alright, but just in case, remember my ID, Poison-Jail. If you get into trouble, contact me anytime."

Jacob impassively said, "I'll keep it in mind."

After some small talk, Jacob left Nixon's office and headed toward the elevator.

Nixon's smile vanished when Jacob left, and he sent a message from his star watch.

'Poison-Jail: Faceless Ancient has left for Deep Swamp. Keep an eye on him.'

He instantly received a reply.

'Barb0Stone: What kind of eye?'

'Poison-Jail: Usual.'

'Barb0Stone: Got it!'

Nixon chuckled before he stood up and went back to his practice as if everything was under control.

---

Jacob left the elevator on the first floor. It was in the middle of the main lobby, and without drawing any attention, he left the building and soon crossed the entrance gates, leaving the headquarter.

The Easter City was quite large, and since they already had the concept of gas vehicles, there were, naturally, cabs and trolleybusses for common folks who couldn't afford those vehicles.

Even a plain car with 90km/h speed cost over 1 million gold coins, and few could afford them, so the trolleybusses were the best second choice.

Jacob reached the bus stop and star waiting for the trolley bus. The others waiting around him looked at him strangely since his get-up was a little out of place.

But Jacob pretended as if he didn't see anything, and soon, with everyone, he embarked on the trolley bus and sat down.

His destination was west district-22 which was actually the red district of Easter City. He had already remembered the map and all the places of Easter City, so he wasn't ignorant about the city or even the Golden Sword Country anymore!

As for why he was going in the red-light district, only he knew…

It was morning, so there wasn't any crowd on the trolley bus, and everyone was going toward work, mostly at this time of the day.

There was a short goblin sitting a few seats behind Jacob, but unlike others, he glanced at Jacob every now and then, and because Jacob's face was forward, he couldn't notice him.

The goblin also had his star watch active as he was in a chat with someone. He glanced at Jacob sneakily again before he quickly started typing a message.

'Goblin-King90895432: The target is sitting in the trolley bus, which is going toward the western districts. The final location is still unclear.'

He instantly got a reply.

'Sneaky2452234: Roger, just don't let him out of sight. We're preparing for Dinner!'

'Goblin-King90895432: Roger!'

Half an hour later, the trolley bus stopped a few meters away from the entrance to west district-22, and Jacob exited.

Without paying attention, he entered the alleys of West District-22, which were filled with all kinds of prostitutes wearing almost nothing standing in front of hotels, and there were even price tag badges around their necks.

The moment Jacob entered, those prostitutes instantly surrounded him like hungry wolves so he could select them.

In the end, Jacob chose three tall barbarian prostitutes, which made those rejects start cursing Jacob for being racist, fiend, tasteless, and so on, but they didn't dare to go too far since district-22 also has unspoken rules.

Those barbarian girls were beaming and acting seductively while they led him toward their pleasure house.

Jacob paid with his star watch to an ugly orc and booked the room for an entire day, which cost him 1000 gold coins, including those three girls' services charges.

The sneaky goblin naturally followed Jacob, but he didn't enter the alley, remained hidden in a corner, and quickly reported it.

'Goblin-King90895432: He's in West District-22, red alley-07, Pleasure House-98!'

'Sneaky2452234: Tsk, tsk, which one did he choose?'

The goblin frowned when he saw this message but still replied.

'Goblin-King90895432: 3 Barbarians.'

'Sneaky2452234: Oh? What a monster!'

'Goblin-King90895432: Stop joking around and quickly come here!'

'Sneaky2452234: Heh, why are you in a hurry? It's not liked those girls will choose you. Even your nose is bigger than your dick!'

The goblin's eyes widened when he read this message as veins started to pop up on his bald head, and he ground his teeth in anger and humiliation.

While grounding his teeth in hatred, he wrote, 'Goblin-King90895432: YOU'RE DEAD!!!!!!'

However, the goblin didn't notice the person with a binocular standing not far away on a building's roof and also looking toward the building where Jacob entered.

"What a monster!" He mumbled with a hint of respect.

Half an hour later, nothing from the ordinary happened as that goblin and the person on the roof continued to observe the pleasure house building.

Night descended before three persons, clad in black clothes from head to toe, appeared as they snuck inside the alley-07!
