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

As Jacob moved closer to the palace, the once-thronged streets became eerily sparse, the crowd thinning out and giving way to an even heavier military presence. Guards patrolled with grim determination, but when they noticed the Ascaris Viper slithering ahead of Jacob, they averted their gazes, pretending not to see him.

These experts, normally vigilant and disciplined, were far from their best. Their minds were clouded with fear and resentment, the oppressive weight of their predicament crushing their resolve. Almost 90% of the Myriad Galaxy King's loyal subjects harbored deep-seated grievances, their faith in their leader shaken.

Jacob's sharp gaze didn't miss the whispers of defiance brewing among them. Some of these experts were already scheming to escape, willing to abandon whatever leverage the Myriad Galaxy King held over them. However, the thought of fleeing filled them with equal dread.

Sneaking into the Palace!
