Cursed Immortality-Novel



Captain Free Sword appeared the same as half a day ago when Jacob saw him. The only difference was there was two more Horned Ogre present in the hall, and no matter how he looked at them, they all looked the same, and only by their scars could one tell the difference.

Captain Free Sword smiled, seeing Jacob, and said in greetings, "Mr. King, I hope you have a lovely evening with Masha. But all good things had to end, and we must move on. It's a pity, really."

"Don't worry, Captain, this gentleman won't be gone long." Masha snickered playfully while Jacob remained the same.

"I have no doubt, Masha, I have no doubt!" Captain Free Sword laughed in a pleasing manner before his candid smile vanished as he looked at Jacob, "Mr. King, I have arranged many things for your mission this time, so make sure you keep all of them safe and only use them when the time is ripe. Harold, give Mr. King his goodies!"

Harold nodded in response, and before he handed a white space ring to Jacob with a cold smirk.

"The first thing I need you to understand is you can't contact us through your Star Watch because we are no longer connected with Star Network because this is Epic Plains, and we all have Unique Rank life signals.

"So, I have Harold prepare a special device called the Universal Communication Radio Transmitter, also known as Vermin Transponder. As for why it is called such, it is because it will allow communication in places where it isn't allowed as long as you have a unique frequency code of the Vermin Transponder, like the trial plains, for example. Moreover, it is illegal to use it since it is made by Star Hackers!" Captain Free Sword grinned evilly.

It was Jacob's first time hearing about such a device, and he was also astonished when he heard there was something that was illegal. Furthermore, the name Star Hacker also sounds like trouble, and various thoughts come into his mind about what a Star Hacker would be.

Captain Free Sword wasn't done explaining as he continued, "Mr. King, if you don't know about Star Hackers, then it's about time you know about them since you might encounter them in the Epic Plains.

"Like us Star Pirates, who are a bunch of outlaws and don't like restrictions, the Star Hackers are even more excessive as they believe that the Star Network is the biggest threat to everyone's privacy and a dictator of sorts.

"That's why they directly declared all-out war with the Star Network itself! Can you imagine the guts of those guys? But the most interesting thing is they are making terrifying progress in this seemingly hopeless war and making noises that have started to irk the three hegemonies and the mighty Star Network itself!

"As to how much it irks them, you can imagine that the Star Network has never cared about anything happening in the plains, yet it had exclusively put lavish bounties on any and every Star Hacker's whereabouts, identifies, even their heads as long as someone can prove it, they can bask in unimaginable riches.

"However, to this day, not even a single actual Star Hacker has been found, and only those small fries. Why they are hunted like this because of their groundbreaking inventions and ideas, and they can even hack into the Star Watches of anyone below 1-Star Privilege.

"This is what truly made them earn the irony of the Star Network as well as the respect of people like us. This Vermin Transponder is the evidence of their advanced knowledge, and there are rumors that they are making more such discoveries even as we speak.I think you should take a look at

"As for the reason I'm telling you all is that you have to be very careful when you take out that Vermin Transponder while you are in the Epic Plains. SAAI can watch everything under the boundary of a plain, and that Vermin Transponder will raise many red flags.

"Even if you're a holder of an Honorary Badge, once you're found out using the black technology of the Star Hackers, you'll be a fugitive, and the entire Star Network will do anything to hunt you down.

"But don't worry, I got your back, Mr. King. You'll just need to envelop it with your Mana within a second after you take it out from your space ring, and you'll be fine as gold. Oh, and inside a trial, you don't need to be careful at all."

Captain Free Sword revealed with an ugly grin on his face.

Jacob was really speechless after he heard about these Star Hackers and their war with the Star Network. As someone who knows about the Zodiac Will, which might be behind the Star Network, he felt those guys were nothing but clowns trying to anger God!

He wanted to have nothing to do with those guys who were nothing but trouble, especially if just using their technology could make the entire Star Network his enemy.

That would be a huge disaster since almost everything was controlled by the Star Network; even the three hegemonies can't operate without the Star Network.

Nevertheless, this information was something he should have sooner than later because he might unknowingly shoot himself in the foot.

Afterward, Captain Free Sword explains his so-called general plan, which Jacob should use to infiltrate the three hegemonies' forces when the trial plain emerges.

Truth be told, after listening to that entire plan, Jacob was feeling quite apprehensive because he knew if he went through with this plan, whether Star Network hunted him or not, the three hegemonies would, and there would be no place for him in their ranks. He will be no different from these outlaws.

But no other choice was given to him, and he was just a puppet that Captain Free Sword could manipulate as he pleased, and he clearly didn't care about what sort of damage it would do to Jacob's own reputation.

At that time, even if he had his freedom, he would have to live as a rat!
