Cursed Immortality

"You Heartless Demon!" A sobbing voice sounded of a young man filled with bitterness and grief, "You didn't even come to her funeral and didn't show any sadness while she was on her deathbed and calling for your name every day. You don't deserve her love. You never loved her. You just left her alone even on her deathbed because of your selfishness…."

"NO!"

Jacob's eyes snapped open, filled with deep sorrow and melancholy.

However, when a slimy liquid entered his mouth, he quickly snapped out of his stupor state and calmed himself down.

'I was… dreaming…' Jacob thought with deep sadness and yearning in his eyes, 'Ryan, I let you down and her….'

Jacob stared into the empty air for a long time without blinking.

At this moment, the blue liquid was almost transparent, which had never happened before, while Pig Head stayed inside. This implied the liquid was losing its effect, and Jacob was feeling hungry despite the liquid.

But he doesn't care or not even bother to notice it because of his bad dream.

In the end, the hunger reached the same level as before and made Jacob snap out of his daze.

He came out of the cell. He didn't know just long he's been sleeping or how this liquid worked accurately and for how long.

But his killer hunger was not normal, and he knew this had something to do with his change after he inherited cursed immortality.

"Cursed Immortality!" Jacob said in a hoarse voice.

This time, the white book appeared in a flash.

With a thought, Jacob reached the page he could open and said coldly, "Tell me what this hunger is about. Does it relate to you?"

The wording changed, and unfamiliar words appeared.

"Why are you asking me if you already guessed? You're right about your heart being too powerful for your weak body. But don't worry, your heart was modified according to great me and even mutated. So, all you have to do is to provide nutrition, and your heart will change your body until it reaches a sufficient standard."

Jacob sighed softly. "I was right. Tell me just how much nutrition I need before this hunger goes away and my body reaches a sufficient standard."

The writing changed,

"Just drink that bone marrow that little goblin bought for your third implant, and don't forget about mixing all those herbs and powders. It should be sufficient to convert your body to twenty percent."

Jacob frowned. "Drink the bone marrow of some unknown animal or monster? But it will only convert up to twenty percent?!"

"Hahaha… don't underestimate a mutated heart. Besides that, twenty percent is enough for your hunger to alleviate at least half, but only for a few weeks before it comes back more potent, so be prepared!

"Heed my advice. In the meanwhile, just slaughter that goblin or that pig and inject their blood, and then eat them whole. It should be enough for your body to reach fifty percent."

Jacob wore a weary expression and coldly snorted, "Do you really expect me to eat those nocuous fellows?"

"Hahahahah… don't pretend to be noble. The moment the second wave of hunger hits, you'll even slaughter a human to quench your hunger, or you'll die, which I know you will never let happen.

"Oh, and remember, every time you inject a specie's heart blood, your body will also change, which simply means you need to eat or provide high-quality nutrition. And if you are thinking about using those colored waters, then don't bother. They will start to lose effect on you the longer you soak in them since they're not high-quality enough."

Jacob frowned his brown as cursed immortality seen through his thoughts. He was really planning to drink that black liquid, but it seemed this wouldn't work.

'This book simply wanted me to kill and then eat whoever I kill… but I want to survive, I have to…' Jacob's heart turned cold.

"I started to understand why you called Cursed Immortality…." Jacob commented coldly before he closed the book with a thought.

He didn't want to see that maniac laughing.

"The things I have to do for a living from now on…."

Jacob sighed softly as he walked beside the table where everything was ready.

He strengthened his resolve, pulled the cold container toward himself, and opened the clay-like seal before removing the cubic meter container's top.

The moment the top was removed, a potent smell filled the room, making Jacob almost faint.

He saw a thick dark purple liquid like jelly.

"I have to drink this?!" Jacob fell into despair, but his hunger was getting stronger and stronger, and he knew he didn't have time.

"Damn it all!"

He randomly picked those dry plants and threw them inside the container. Since the book didn't instruct him about the order, then it clearly means he can just throw them randomly.

One by one, he emptied those powder bottles as well.

After everything was floating in the container, he picked up a long metal spoon-like piece of equipment and stirred the entire mixer.

It caused a massive reaction as those plans melted, and the jelly-like bone marrow started to boil mysteriously, and an even more potent smell rose with pinkish smoke.

However, Jacob's eyes were turned bloodshot as he endured the smell. His hunger had finally reached its peak and was far more substantial than the first or second time.

He finally realized that the book was really speaking the truth, and at this moment, he really would kill anyone just to quench this hunger!

'I can't take it anymore!'

Jacob threw the spoon to the table, picked up the container, and drank without even caring about the smell or taste or if it was hot or cold.

He just wanted that deadly hunger to go away.

The mixture was strikingly cold despite the smoke and its taste… he just can't describe in contrarily that jerky was far more scrumptious than this!

Within a minute, he drank the whole container without dropping or leaving any single drop!
