CURSED IMMORTALITY - season 1 Episode 12

This extirpated Jacob’s fear of dying out of hunger or drowning, but this also put an unknown fear in his heart.

If he fell into hibernation, then he won’t probably be able to wake up on his own, which also meant only Decker would be able to wake him up once he came back.

Jacob didn’t want that at all because he was so close to completely circulating the sliver of energy into his body, only half of his right leg remained, and he knew it would mostly take him a week to complete it as well.

He could not rest if he didn’t see the result of his theory, which was also the only hope of leaving this place alive. Even if this hope was based on his delusion, it was still hoped that kept him going.

‘Although I can’t do anything in this darkness, I think I slept for thirteen hours this time or probably less or might be more. This gives me probably thirty or forty more days before I might fall into hibernation. Fuck if that pig idiot just refiled this green liquid….’

Jacob cursed Pig Head in his mind before again turning his focus on doing his labor again!

Day 148,

Two more weeks passed, and Jacob’s right hallux was moving up and down as Jacob was quite excited about this moment.

It was clear that he had finally been able to move the sliver of that mysterious energy all over his body, and only his neck and head were left.

‘The moment of truth!’ Jacob’s heart was galloping at this moment.

With a thought, the energy moved back to his heart from his big toe. He didn’t immediately send it toward his neck. He decided to circulate the sliver of energy in his entire body before going toward his neck, forming a pentagram just for a silly reason, which was that he read in a novel once.

Jacob slowly controlled the energy and started with his left arm before going to his right and right arm and left leg… he didn’t feel a damn thing, making him silently blush…

‘I should’ve never believed in those damn stories….’

Jacob didn’t dwell on his embarrassment for too long, quickly controlled the energy, and slowly moved it toward his neckline.

Jacob’s eyes instantly contrasted when the energy… didn’t meet any barrier like last time!

‘Hahaha… so, I was right about my approach!’ Jacob was elated and wanted to laugh out loud, which was out of his character. But who could blame him since this little success meant there was still hope for him!

Jacob quickly settled himself down and crawled the energy toward his head. He thought it would also cost him some time, but to his astonishment, the energy moved toward his head with no restriction or need for an alternative path, making him even more excited.

When the energy reached his skull area, Jacob thought it might come out of his mouth, but it didn’t, and as it was moving to the back of his skull.

Jacob quickly restrained his ecstasy and observed his head very thoroughly. He knew the restriction placed on him was probably here.

‘Nothing in the back of my head…’ Jacob found nothing behind his skull area, which was the most expected area where the restriction might be, but it wasn’t.

However, Jacob wasn’t disheartened and moved the energy toward the top of his skull, and he met with the same disappointment. Jacob was a bit panicked, but he still didn’t lose hope and commanded that energy to move toward his forehead.

At this moment, when the energy was right above his glabella, it suddenly met with a barrier that wasn’t a natural one Jacob felt from his body.

Jacob’s eyes instantly flashed with a sharp light, ‘Found you!’

He was a hundred percent sure that he had finally found the thing restraining him because he had been controlling this energy for months now, and he knew how it felt like when he met with a natural barrier or blocked pathways.

This thing wasn’t a barrier nor a pathway. There was something solid, and he even felt the energy jolt it a little when it touched it!

That was why he was entirely sure he had found the thing he was looking for!

First, Jacob looked right toward Pig Head, who was invisible in this darkness, but he knew he was there, and every three days, he could hear him moving and drinking his ‘tonic.’

‘I don’t know if this pig can see me or not… if he can, then he’ll do as Decker command him and release that black liquid, and if he doesn’t, then… well, I don’t know what he will do without Decker’s control, but I won’t shun this chance of freedom… well, it was still unclear if I will gain freedom or not, so there is no need to burn my brain cells on this….’

Without hesitancy, Jacob again made the energy to move in the same path, and this time he felt clear that something was in his glabella, and for some reason, the energy could tremble.

However, Jacob suddenly felt a piercing pain in his brain that he wanted to scream, yet he couldn’t, but sudden lunacy overcame Jacob’s eyes as he used more force and rattled that thing which was in his glabella!

Suddenly, Jacob felt his lip moving as the liquid entered his mouth. He quickly closed it since he was still inside the liquid. He had instinctively opened his mouth because of the pain.

But he quickly reacted and controlled it. The good news was this thing was losing its control over his body!

However, this excited Jacob as he helter-skelter tried to push that thing from its place even more fiercely while completely ignoring the pain. This pain wasn’t half as painful as the pain he experienced when he first was awake with his entire torso open, nor was it even close to the pain Bloodstorming Bug caused!

Jacob knew this pain was the price of his freedom and he’ll pay it no matter the amount!

Jacob continued to clash the energy with whatever was on his forehead without even stopping for a moment while continuing to endure maddening pain.

He could feel this thing had taken root in his skull just like a parasite plant, and he had had to uproot it!

As he was shaking the thing inside his head, he slowly gained control over his limbs.

Jacob used his full force and tried to move his hand. He knew this energy wasn’t enough to uproot that thing in his head. Now that thing wasn’t in complete control of his entire body. He wanted to take this chance to use his hand.

With extreme difficulty, his right hand finally moved. It was as if Jacob was possessed by lunacy and didn’t care about anything or any consequences. All he wanted was freedom from this hellhole, and he will do anything to gain it!

Finally, his head reached his forehead while continuing to tremble.

‘Just give up!’ Jacob’s eyes were utterly blood shoot as he stabbed the nails of his thumb and index finger into his glabella with no mercy!

Blood got blended into an almost transparent liquid at this moment.

Jacob suddenly felt his index finger’s nail touch something solid, and he ruthlessly clawed it!

This time, Jacob felt his entire brain jolt as that thing finally uprooted from its place!

However, Jacob was in a frenzy and didn’t let this chance go. With both fingers, he clawed whatever had come off from his skull and pulled it back with a small chunk of his forehead skin!

Jacob suddenly felt he had just regained complete control over his body, but he was too tired and fell into slumber without even looking at the thing he was tightly clinching in his fist.

The opening on his forehead suddenly healed because of the green liquid. As for the mysterious energy which made all this possible returned to Jacob’s heart without his command, it didn’t come out of that opening.

However, Jacob didn’t know about it at all as he fell into a deep slumber in the crimson liquid with a clenched hand and a faint smirk on his lips.

As for Pig Head, just as he expected, he didn’t notice his movements at all in this darkness and remained standing still.

However, after the wound on Jacob’s forehead was completely healed, the green liquid completely turned transparent or crimson since Jacob’s blood was blended within now.

The main point was that Jacob was now in a state of hibernation after finally being free… what a tragedy!
