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

Jacob's declaration shook everyone's minds, not because he was willing to destroy the Ice Fiend Locusts by himself, but because of the implication behind his ambiguous words before the declaration.

After all, they knew what it meant to be rewarded by the Star Network or, more accurately, by SAAI. Furthermore, if there were really a reward involved, by the magnitude of the difficulty, it would be anything but ordinary, and this made the Quasi Legends' hearts race.

'Why did he reveal such information? Either he's leading us all by provoking our greed, or he's simply too arrogant and confident that no one would compete against him. Whatever the case is, I can't ignore his words since he's too mysterious. If he could even predict the actions of Zodiac Plains Enforcement, then our plans need to change…' Diminutive thought grimly as Jacob's words forced him to think in another direction and made the goblin deter a litter.
