Cursed Immortality-Novel



What was the truth?

This was a question which has a simple answer, but at the same time, it was as complex as a paradox.

The truth should be when someone believes something to be the truth. However, they could also be wrong at the same time because what they believed was the truth could be false as well, and they were beveling a lie their whole life.

When someone corrects that believable truth with solid evidence, that truth will turn into a lie in the same person's mind who believed it to be the truth the very instant it was corrected.

Then even if that person doesn't admit it despite knowing that it was a lie all along, which he believed to be truth, it won't change the fact that the person now knows in his mind that it was a lie.

Yet at the same time, both persons might not know the truth at all, and everything was false, yet they believed it to be truth. So, would this false still be the truth as long as someone wholeheartedly believed it's the truth?

This was the Paradox of Truth and False!

The human body was something that could react differently in different situations despite the fact that the consciousness didn't want it to be, especially when a human was lying or telling the truth.

Even a master of lies can't control his body to such an extent that whatever lies he spat would turn out to be the truth. It was impossible to make a lie into truth as long as humans could have control over every cell in their bodies.

Jacob right now has lost all control of his body, and only his brain and heart are under his control, and he had no idea if Masha would be able to tell if he was telling the truth or lying by how his body reacts to it.

That's why he wanted to tell the whole truth first to make sure that if Masha could sense his body's reaction to such a degree. Because if she does, then the moment he spoke a lie, his cover would be blown, and that would spell death for him.

So, keeping this in mind, he had no choice but to reveal his full name, which was not something he was proud of or liked, and that name was buried with his mother when she died in that gang fight.

However, the name was something that was the hardest to lie about because it represents someone's entire existence and makes them unique.

The surname King was the only proof he had of his father, the man he never knew all his life, nor did he care to search for him even after he came into power. He buried it in the depth of his mind.

Because he abhorred it and never spoke about it to anyone, but as long as he can't fully forget about it, the fact won't change that this was also a part of his identity.

Now that it was questioned of his survival, he let go of his past stubbornness and finally spoke his full name. He knew in front of survival and living forever, this last name was something meager to reveal.

But when Captain Free Sword heard the name, he frowned because he clearly wasn't expecting it, and he looked at Masha with scrutiny.

Masha nodded with also somewhat pale expression, and she looked at Jacob and coldly uttered, "Tell him your true and full name!"

Jacob uttered again emotionlessly, "Jacob Steve King!"

"He's not telling any lies, Captain. His body didn't react at all." Masha told Captain Free Sword with a solemn expression.

Captain Free Sword frowned deepen, "What is your race?"

"Human." Jacob again replied without even blinking.I think you should take a look at

Jacob was blurting whatever came in first in his mind because only truth would come into his mind first, the truth he believed.

Being a Faery Human didn't change the fact that he was a Human first and never considered himself part of this race or even from this world, to begin with.

Jacob always believed that he was still Jacob Steve, who died of old age and then reincarnated in this ghastly place. He was alone and had no family or any ties with anything here. That is what he always believed.

Captain Free Sword narrowed his eyes, "Humans or Faery Human?"

"Human."

Masha spoke at this moment with a hint of uncertainty, "Could it be he's a mixed blood, a Hybrid? This could also explain his spineless behavior, unlike the true Faery Humans."

Captain Free Sword also thought like this now, "Do you know any Faery Human? Who is your father and mother, and what is your background?"

"I don't know my father and only know his last name. My mother was a human, and she died when I was still young. My background was very humble, and I have no idea what or who Faery Humans are." Jacob emotionlessly uttered.

Now he was telling the truth but not in detail which made the others think that he was talking about the Zodiac Plains.

"Where you hailed from?" Captain Free Sword frowningly asked as he was looking quite dissatisfied.

"Earth."

"Slap…"

A powerful slap landed on Jacob's face, which came from Masha, who had this ugly expression on her face, and a dark red palm imprint appeared on Jacob's face. But his expression didn't change at all.

"He means which plain, you fool!" Masha maliciously uttered.

"Hahahahah… what fools, he was waiting for you to say that! You should've said, 'Which world' hahahah…" Immortika wrote in relish.

Jacob replied, "Common Plains!"

"Is that slave rune even working?" Harold couldn't help but ask with uncertainty.

"It's working! Why don't you try to make an Advance Unique Slave Rune if you have doubt about my capability!" Masha coldly retorted, and she looked at Captain Free Sword and seriously said with a hint of panic, "Caption, there is nothing wrong with the Salve Rune. If you don't believe me, I can draw another one, and this time, you can imprint him with your blood."

Captain Free Sword glanced at Jacob's emotionless face, which now had a deep palm imprint, and then looked at Masha, who seemed to be quite afraid that Captain Free Sword would not believe her.

He then smiled, "I believe you, Masha. I don't think you are like Veilly. It seemed we have a huge misunderstanding regarding Mr. King here!"

"Hahahah… this misunderstanding is going to cost them dearly!"
