Cursed Immortality

Jacob finally closed the star watch interface before a rueful sigh escaped his mouth.

'Just how in the world did things escalate to this point?' He wondered with a hint of confusion. He never intended to make three hegemonies into his enemy, and neither did he want to be haunted down by the entire epic plains when he was still not strong enough.

Right now, he was probably the hottest commodity and topic of discussion in every household in the epic plains.

Nevertheless, the ship of regret was long sailed and now was the time to counter. Looking at the star watch and the remaining time he had to prepare for the plain trial, a cruel yet very practical idea surfaced in his mind.

'I never thought I would take this path in this world again. But since they're calling me a terrorist, I'll give them a goddamn terrorist and make sure they will regret making an enemy out of me!' Jacob's eyes glistered with a dark, ruthless glint.

From all the messages he received and the massive bounty placed on his life, he knew those guys didn't have the nuclear technology, or it was so precious and rare that the alchemy guild didn't share it with the epic plains yet. Or it was simply dangerous to fall in the hands of epic plains.

Whichever the case was, Jacob was pretty sure that those guys were after his nuclear knowledge, and they were probably doing all this for that knowledge.

This gave him the idea of walking again on the path he never thought he would take in this life since it was no longer his primary goal. Yet here he was, back to a corner, and the only thing that came to his mind was the same path that made him known as the Emperor of Weapon Industry!

With this dark look in his eyes, he opened the Private Star Servers Section, and right now, it was completely empty since he was being kicked out of the Alchemy Guild as well.

However, today he was not here to surf any server. Instead, he was going to use another option.

'Make Star Server'

Jacob clicked on this option without hesitation, and a new interface appeared with multiple options, and without hesitation, he started to fill them.

After a few moments, an entirely different interface was in front of Jacob.

"Star Server Name: Ancient Artifact Industry

"Star Server Category: Business

"Star Server Visibly: Private Server [Star Link needed to Join this Server]

"Star Server Owner: Faceless Ancient

"Star Privilege / Star Server Level: 2-Star (Equivalent to 2-Star Privilege of Faceless Ancient)

"Do you want to continue with these settings and create the Star Server and generate your unique Invitation Star Link?

"2-Star Star Server Creation Fee (After Discount): 92,000 ZC

"Continue/ NO"

Looking at the server creation cost, Jacob peers into his current balance.

"Current Balance: 2,274,923 ZC"

This was the final amount he made after selling all those star watches and the weapons in the rare plains through the dark city and alchemy guild trading channels, and the 1 million he got with the plain achievement towards the end.

However, now he had to pay 92,000 ZC for making this 2-star Star Server, whose actual price was 100,000 ZC, and only after deducting his discounts from his title and the bank account he had to pay this much.

Jacob can also lower this cost by simply deactivating the star privilege and creating a 0-Star Star Server. However, he needed this exact server to serve his need. In those few years in the star ocean, he was very familiar with all these options.

The Star Server was probably the biggest surprise when he saw just how much beneficial it was for someone like him who holds the Star Privilege of 2 Star. But he wasn't interested since it would take too much time and effort to manage it, not to mention he had no interest in selling his trump cards to others while making him vulnerable in the process.

However, now that he was already getting so much hate under the pretext of a terrorist and people now also quite aware of what sort of weapons he had and was capable of creating.

So, this Star Server was going to be his moneymaker as well as making those three hegemonies regret ever daring to go after him!

He knew better than another just how hypocrites those powers could be when it came to gaining an advantage over each other, especially when weapons were involved. That's why this business was so popular in any era or place.

The only difference this time was he was going black with his trading and selling his weapon to anyone who paid him the most.

Knowing the gravity of his weapons and what kind of damage they could cause, those three hegemonies wanted to make sure they won't fall into the wrong hands while some extremely ambitious fellows would also do everything to get their hands on those weapons.

The Killer Skull Society was one such example that wanted to rival the three hegemonies.

Lastly, with the trial plains on the horizon and all the free publicity Jacob was getting right now, he knew he was going to make a lot of ZC while he was also going to tip the power scale in the Epic Plains while causing so much chaos that no one had any chance to pay him any attention.

Furthermore, once those common or suppressed folks under the three hegemonies fully gasped and had a taste of what Jacob's weapons could do, they would do anything to make sure he would remain alive so he could provide them with even more such weapons. Yet this was just the tip of the iceberg.

With an extremely dark smile, Jacob clicked on 'Continue' and then opened the Star Network News and clicked on 'Create Star News,' which he never thought he would do before!
