Wahi

Jacob Steve, an Old Man, died at 116 after living a whole life.

But Jacob always had a dark side, which he always suppressed and hid from others. 
However, in the later years of his life, when death was inevitable, he understood there wasn't any point in having wealth, knowledge, or desires if you couldn't have a life to enjoy them.

He became obsessed with fabled immortality and devoted his reaming life to extending his fleeting lifespan, but just like any other, he failed.

However, he mysteriously got another chance at life and found a way that led to fabled immortality. 
But he was also forewarned that the way led to it was filled with blood and darkness!

In the end, Jacob chose it anyway with no way of going back, and it was also the start of his suffering and his icky, brutal journey toward the 'Immortality' he wanted so badly!

Cursed Immortality

On a remote island with a scarce amount of mana, Star-Lord, or, more accurately, Vincent, appeared wearing dark robes with a hood covering his head.

He approached a tree that seemed just like any other tree on this island and pressed his hand on it. The next moment, the star watch on his wrist shimmered, and the tree suddenly trembled before a myriad of runes appeared on its surface, and a runic circle appeared under Vincent!

The next moment, Vincent's figure vanished without a trace, and the tree returned to its normal state as if nothing had happened.

Thereafter, Vincent was teleported into a dark space where the only source of light was a white goblet ignited with blue flames.

'Where is this place?' Vincent's eyes narrowed, and an uneasy feeling gripped his heart because he hadn't been in this place before, and the atmosphere didn't sit too well with him either.
