Cursed Immortality

Jacob's entire body was shaking as cracking sounds came from his hands and feet because they were in the same position. After all, some mysterious power was holding them in one place, which goes against the nature of the human body.

Blood started to trickle from Jacob's orifice after ten seconds, especially from his eye sockets.

The little monster coldly looked at the metal tube, completely ignoring Jacob's condition, as his only concern was the reaction of Bloodstorming Bug.

This little monster's name was Decker, and he was an Imp-Goblin!

He has killed many people in the same type of experiments, and none of them was human before.

Most of his experiment subjects died in the first phase of transplants, which was to change the heart of a living being with another one!

Only 12 experiment subjects were made in the testing phase, and Jacob was one of them. Unfortunately, no one survived this phase because Bloodstorming Bugs always ate their new hearts and caused them a painful and gruesome death.

Truth be told, Decker only bought Jacob out of curiosity and desperation. Furthermore, he was cheap and had never experimented on a human before.

Decker wanted this experiment to be successful because there was too much at stake for him, even his insignificant life!

As he watches Jacob reacting in the same way as the other subjects and almost on the verge of exploding, he shakes his head in disappointment. He knew this one was also a lost cause.

Because if the first transplant was successful, then the Bloodstorming Bug was supposed to leave Jacob's body in twenty seconds, and fifteen seconds were already passed.

The longest someone survived from Bloodstorming Bug was thirty seconds, and if the person hosted by a Bloodstorming Bug didn't take the cure to kill the bug between this time, they're doomed!

'Please, just kill me!' Jacob only had this thought in mind at this moment as he felt his heart stabbed with small knives every second.

He never would've dreamed he would be transmigrated as a slave of some sadistic psycho and die in this torturous manner.

With deep resentment and pain, he felt his previous life was too good. Even though he lived for 'short hundred' years, he still lived like an emperor after success in the business world.

At least that world had rules and laws, most importantly, only humans were the dominating species, and they controlled everything.

But here, everything was too strange. This monster could control him with thoughts, and these peculiar bug creatures also seemed too normal here.

Jacob felt his consciousness fading away slowly as the pain started to lessen bit by bit. He felt immense relief at finally being free from this pain and this strange world, which he didn't even get the chance to see.

'No more…' Jacob's consciousness descent into darkness…

Decker saw Jacob's body stop moving, his breathing almost nonexistent, and his discontent grew.

"Did I do all that for nothing?! Is this journal even real?!" Decker mumbled in depression.

'Sigh… I think it's all happening because all those test subjects were from mere low races, and I need to find a new powerful slave from a superior race to become completely insured. But those races are too protective of their kin, and those slave traders don't dare to extend their hands toward them….'

Decker mused as his face shone with desperation. He just refused to believe this 'journal' was just a hoax.

After a while, Decker snapped out of his thoughts and looked toward Jacob, and his depressed expression suddenly turned into a shocked one.

With disbelief written all over his ugly face, he flashed his little brown finger under Jacob's bloody nose.

"What?!" Decker couldn't help but shout out loud when he felt Jacob's warm faint breath, "H-he survived? But where is Bloodstorming Bug, then? Hmm? My connection with it also cut off without me being noticed. So what the hell is going on?"

Decker's eyes shone with ecstasy as he hastened toward the metal tube, pulled it out from Jason, and threw it in a water tray.

He quickly opened a small pocket of his bag hanging around his neck, took out a small dark yellow round pill, and opened Jacob's mouth before throwing it inside. The tiny tablet instantly dissolved in his throat.

Decker didn't stop there and hastily picked up a knife-like scalpel and started to cut out his left chest without caring that Jacob might die from blood loss; hell, it was already a miracle he was breathing right now.

However, Jacob's breath became steady after Decker fed him the mysterious pill.

Decker paid little attention, as if he expected this to happen, and opened his left breast until he reached the sternum, where he could see his slowly beating heart.

If Jacob saw his heart, he would be shocked silly because it wasn't Red but completely Blue!

Decker was stunned when he saw a perfect, beating heart. But, then, excitement shone on his face. "It seemed the Bloodstorming Bug died and did not survive like it was supposed to!"

He reached an astonishing conclusion; it was entirely out of his expectation. Because the Bloodstorming Bug can't be killed without a particular poison, and it was the first time he even witnessed it!

Decker inhaled sharply as he mumbled with ecstasy, "So, that journal is even more potent than I thought. Hahaha, truly worth the risk! But I had to do two more major transplants with other substitute organs before trying it on myself.

"However, finding the organs described in the journal is almost impossible, but I can always find the second or third best for myself. I won't be using Hound Rat's heart like this human."

Decker excitedly looked toward the unconscious Jacob, who was covered in his blood with sparkling eyes as if he was gawking at the priceless treasure.

"Since you're still valuable to me, I'll allow you to heal in green healing liquid this time."

Decker shouted, "Pig-head, come and place this human in the healing cell again and use the green liquid this time!"

The monster with a wild boar head and human torso, inside another giant glass cell very close to Jacob's, suddenly trembled as its eyes snapped open and beastly pupils revealed!
