Cursed Immortality



'Over 1 million members joined my server in little over five days?' Jacob was astonished as he gazed at those ZC and then quickly opened his star server.

"Star Server Name: Ancient Artifact Industry

"Star Server Category: Business

"Star Server Visibly: Private Server [Star Link needed to Join this Server]

"Star Server Owner: Faceless Ancient

"NOTE: 2-Star Server has 3 Unique Privileges:

"Star Server Description: Ancient Artifact Industry offered all the weapons crafted by Faceless Ancient, which includes the large verities of Guns, Bombs, Missiles, Atomic Bombs, Atomic Bullets, Atomic…

"Star Server Post Privilege: Win-Win [Only by purchasing an item from the Ancient Artifact Industry will you gain the right to make Auction Posts!]

"Rules and Regulations: …"

Although Jacob's server was empty since he had set up the star server post restriction with the second unique privilege help, all those members who had joined were naturally there for his weapons.

Furthermore, he saw his star news post was now second on treading just below his own bounty post, and millions of people had liked it.

'Infamy is the fastest to draw attention, and the lust for power is the strongest desire…' Jacob thought with a dark smile as this result was better than he had anticipated.

Now he was fully equipped and ready to start his business in the Zodiac Plains just like he once started in his old world. It was a feeling of nostalgia as well, that once-in-a-lifetime excitement of starting his own business.

He never thought he would feel that sensation again and sighed in melancholia when he thought about how he was going to discard his every principle.

In the end, the principles were dead, and he was no longer the same person anymore nor his goal.

So, without hesitation, he posted another star news before returning to the server and started to create his first auction post on his server with a cruel smile!

Within the Alchemy Guild's Headquarters, Ellie suddenly received a notification she had specifically set for a certain server, and when she read the content, a twisted expression appeared on her face as well as a hint of uneasiness was present in her somewhat anxious eyes.

She quickly contacted her father, and before she could even speak, Nelsen's gloomy voice rang.

"I know. Sigh… we quickly need to deal with this monster we created unknowingly…

Within the headquarters of the bank, Lucy was staring at her star watch with a complicated yet murderous look in her eyes.

"We can't let this abomination destroy our authorities, not when so much is on the line…."

Gunner was intensely staring at the giant projection with another giant present in the luxurious training hall.

The other giant said with a deep frown, "We have made a terrible enemy, Chairman." He was the Vice Chairman of the Alliance, Andrew!

"There is no point in regretting. Let's just salvage what we can and stay out of this mess. He has yet to do anything against us. Suppose we reach the wrong conclusion; we might drag into these muddy waters as well. I want to see how those two willy wretched fellows will come out of this mess.

"If anything, I think this is an opportunity to threaten Nelsen's hidden power. Since this is a fair auction, let's treat it like one. This guy is helping us by giving us all these deadly weapons before the trial!" Gunner replied with a cold scoff.

In her hideout, S-0 was also looking at the star sever with a nasty expression.

She muttered with intense killing intent, "So not only did you not surrender, but you even chose the path of no return. Since you have come to the Epic Plains, I'll make sure to take your everything, including your life!"

At an unknown location, a magnificent dark castle was located.

A masked being was sitting over a dark throne, giving off an unfathomed feeling of superiority.

Below the throne, there were a few more masked figures sitting in a respectful posture.

One thing common about them was they were all looking at a massive projection of a Star Server in front of them.

At this moment, the masked being sitting over the dark throne spoke, "Dark Earl, Hallberg, did this person reject this Marquis's kind invitation?"

The voice of this person was almost static, and it was hard to tell if it was male or female.

A small figure sitting over the third seat respectfully replied at this moment, "Respectful Dark Marquise, it appeared he didn't see my messages at all."

The Rare Plain's mysterious Dark Earl, Hallberg, was speaking so respectfully that all the people would take him for a lackey. Furthermore, his voice was filled with regret when he just replied, as well as a feeling of foreboding.

"Did you not claim that this person was your acquaintance from the Rare Plains?" The Dark Marquise's static voice sounded again.

"I speak nothing but the truth with my Lordship. But we were merely acquaintances, so it is understandable that he no longer cares about it. Moreover, his current situation might've played a certain part in his indifference towards me." Hallberg replied respectfully.

The Dark Marquise remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "Logical indeed since he didn't reply to other earl's invitations as well—how insufferable yet resourceful fellow.

"Dark Earl, Hallberg, I don't know why a person of your caliber could not see a potential like Faceless Ancient and didn't take him with you. But I'm not a person who likes to dwell on the mistakes of the past.

"Since he is not in the right mindset, let's not antagonize him further. If he reached out, I want to hear it post hastily. This sort of diamond in the rough should belong to the Dark City, not those insufferable buffoons.

"Meanwhile, let's partake in this bidding. I want that weapon so we can reverse-engineer it. The others would also have the same, though. More importantly, this will also open a possibility of revealing his location, for he had to deliver that weapon, or the Star Network will get involved!"
