Cursed Immortality

contemporary romance

Jacob didn't have to wander around for long before he came in front of a small store with a femerell which was quite unusual in this town.

There was a small name board on the wooden door, 'Isaac Smithery'.

Jacob entered the smithery and felt the high temperature inside, unfazed by it, his eyes landed on the weapon display, where all kinds of cold weapons were shown.

"Welcome to my humble establishment, dear customer." A polite, firm voice sounded from the side.

Jacob looked over and saw a burly man with a long beard. He was Isaac, the blacksmith, and owner of this smithery.

Jacob nodded in greeting and directly stated his request, "I want to make something. I wonder if you're up to the task?"

Isaac smile confidently and said, "As long as you have a design, I can forge anything!"

"Is that so? Give me something to draw." Jacob curled his lip.

Isaac was startled by Jacob's request. He carefully looked at Jacob. "Are you serious?"

"What, you think I'm messing with you?" Jacob smirked.

"Well, you don't seem like such a person. Here, you can draw on this." Isaac was an honest man, so he thought a little of it and handed Jacob a notepad and pencil.

Jacob didn't delay and started to draw the distillation equipment. Since he can't find the equipment, he might make them, and they weren't difficult to make as well.

Isaac was also astonished when he saw Jacob's elegant drawing and couldn't help but praise him inwardly.

"Here." Jacob handed the design to Isaac. "How long will it take to make them?"

Isaac solemnly looked at the design and said, "Three days!"

Jacob nodded in agreement. "You want payment now or when I recover the goods?"

"You need to pay half right now and the other half the day of delivery." Isaac stated, "It'll be five silver coins and five on the day of delivery."

"Here." Jacob didn't care about money as long as he was spending it on himself. "If I like your work, I might order even more."

After saying that, Jacob left the smithery.

'Although I can make far better firearms myself, I need gunpowder for bullets and bullets only sell in the mercenary agency. But I have to acquire an identity first, and I still didn't know if I'm a native of the Humane Kingdom, it will be troublesome.

'I still didn't know who this body belonged to and why this guy was sold as a slave to that bastard. I didn't have memories of his life, but I somehow understand and read the language of this world, which means he wasn't some lowlife and probably schemed against.

'Now that I think about it, the Humane Kingdom didn't have slave trading since they didn't have the right to make other races their slaves, and it was probably them who was captured by slave traders to become slaves.

'This means this body was probably captured and then somehow entered the rare region or somewhere close to it. Decker was being chased at that time, and he won't dare to show his face in the rare region. Just who was he…'

Jacob was always curious about the real identity of this body. It wasn't because he wanted to seek revenge or care about him, but was afraid of trouble!

It was already clear that someone wanted to get rid of this body's previous owner, and they even wanted him to suffer before he died, and it happened as well.

But who would've thought Jacob would be reborn in this body after the person died by Decker's experiment?

Nevertheless, Jacob was careful, and he was planning to remain in the rain town for the time being. Because the rainy mountain ranges were close to it, he could easily hunt and then absorb the heart's essence.

It won't be too late to move to the cities when he needed, but there were still many things for him to understand about this place.

'I should register with the Star Mercenary Agency, which is also sponsored by the Zodiac Taurus Bank. It's the only place that sells and buys animals and beasts, while they also sell firearms and the things I require. They had branches all over the Humane Kingdom as well. According to the book, anyone can be registered with them as long as they had skills.'

After making up his mind, Jacob started to find a place to stay.

Thereupon, with one silver coin, he rented an old house for seven months, where he could easily extract the heart essence and live. But more importantly, this house was on the edge of rain town, and he could easily sneak in Pig Head for the time being.

He never thought of getting rid of him unless he died himself. Pig Head became even more important after he understood the uncommon region's structure and human strength.

As long as he could find those liquids in the apothecary guild, there was still hope for Pig Head.

At night, Jacob sneaked out of the rain town since the security was as shitty as it could get and sneaked in Pig Head into the old house basement and felt relief.

While Jacob was settling in the Rain Town, inside the lord's mansion of the rain town,

A middle age man with a noble bearing had a hideous face right now as he looked at the city guard.

"Are you sure Lord Gus's group hasn't come back yet?" He sternly asked with a flustered look on his face.

The guard nodded, "Yes, my lord, just as you instructed, I was paying attention to Lord Gus's group returned, but they weren't back yet."

"Do you know what this means? If they went missing or anything happened to Lord Gus or his sister, our entire town will be executed!" the town lord roared as he trembled in anger.

The guard didn't dare to raise his head anymore; he knew what will happen if the children of a Baron household went missing from rain town.

At this moment, another guard entered, and he was panting for breath as he said, "M-Miss… Jennifer has returned with injuries, but… she's alone!"
