Cursed Immortality

Jacob coldly looked at Lord Club, and if this weren't just a virtual space, he would've already started to skin him alive.

The onlookers were also watching with great interest as they knew a great show was coming. But those guys were very few in numbers since there were still matches going on in the Dark Prestige Display.

"Are you deaf? You think you can walk away while I'm talking to you?" The Lord Club smirked coldly without any fear of Jacob whatsoever.

"Search for battle." Jacob didn't want to waste time on this maniac, so the only way to get rid of him was to enter the arena.

Although he still wanted to do some research first, it was his own fault for selecting an idiot so that he could do nothing about it.

Lord Club was about to flare again since Jacob was still disregarding him when Jacob's figure suddenly vanished with a beam, leaving everyone bewildered.

"Slippery coward!" Lord Club knew that Jacob had directly entered the arena, and just like Jacob couldn't do anything about him, he was the same.

Furthermore, the chances of bumping into Jacob again were very slim since this entire place was always crowded. So, he could do nothing but grit his teeth and give up. Instead of releasing his frustration, it added to the injury, and those onlookers quickly mind their own business in case this mad dog comes to bite them.

'Dictator, humph! Don't let me catch you!' Lord Club jolted this name in his memory before he opened the gambling platform again with bloodshot eyes.

As for entering a battle himself, he didn't dare to since, at his level, the opponents were not easy to deal with, and if he lost three matches of strength, he would be demoted.

At this moment, Jacob suddenly appeared in a stony field with a dim sky.

"A new challenger has entered the Iron League Arena!

"Battle Arena Rules (Iron League): You'll earn 1 Dark Credit if you win a match in Iron League, 10 Dark Credit if you win a Ranking Match, and 100 Dark Credit if you win the Promotion Match!

"Please note that if you lose, there will be a match penalty! In a normal match, you will lose 2 DC; if you lose in a Ranking Match, the penalty will be 20 DC, and 200 DC penalty in a Promotion Match!

"If you lose a match, you have to rest for 30 minutes, while there will not be any resting time for a winning streak.

"If you complete a 10 Kill Winning Streak, you will have to fight with someone with the same winning streak at your 11th match, or it is a Promotion Match, a Betting Pool will open.

"If you win, you will earn 10% of the bets placed within the Betting Pool!

"The Winning Streak Matches can only be fought a single time before you have to break your own record. For example, if you activate a 10 Kill Winning Streak Match and lose, you have to complete a 20 Kill Winning Streak Match before triggering another Winning Streak Match and so forth.

"The Dark Battle Arena also has special badges, which can be earned upon scoring an Arena Achievement!

"…"

Jacob was astounded when he read all those rules, and he was able to grasp a clear picture of how this place works. He couldn't help but scoff at himself when he thought about how he wanted to talk with that idiot to know the rules, which was clearly unnecessary.

"Searching for Opponents…"

After displaying the rules, this notification popped up.

But before Jacob could get in the mood for battle, Nyx's shocking voice rang, "What is this place? How is this possible?!"

Jacob was shocked as he was under the impression that Nyx couldn't enter the virtual space, and it was clearly the case when he entered the lobby. He didn't feel Nyx's presence.

But now, after hearing Nyx's voice, Jacob was shocked to find that he could really feel Nyx and the Nightmare Dreamscape Realm and even enter it if he wanted.

Furthermore, from Nyx's tone, it was clear that she was shocked by something.

"What is going on? How can you be here?" Jacob promptly questioned.

"This, I don't know. It was just blank a moment ago, and I was keeping an eye out on your condition, but suddenly, I sensed the presence of a Dreamscape Realm pulling your psyche into it. So, I tried to defend against it, but I-I lost, and you were dragged here! This dreamscape realm is unfathomably powerful, and even I'm nothing but an ant against it, and it's almost close to reality!" Nyx's voice was filled with fear and uncertainty.

Jacob expression also warped as he wasn't expecting this discovery, he knew just how powerful Nyx were her affinity with dreams were probably top-notch in the universe.

But he wasn't expecting that the Dark City would also have a dreamscape realm, and it was far more terrifying than Nyx. Furthermore, they were using it under the pretext of Dark Battle Arena, and probably no one knew this wasn't just a virtual space.

Just what were they after, and why they are doing it? He felt a sudden chill in his spine. But since so many people were using it, it could only mean that it wasn't dangerous. So, what was the true purpose, and where did this dreamscape realm come from?

"Don't tell me there is another Primordial Nightmare Beast like you out there?" Jacob asked with a foreboding expression.

"Impossible! Until I die, there can't be another one like me!" Nyx instantly denied it, "This Dreamscape Realm is too strong, and it probably belonged to someone extremely proficient in dreamscape magic. I probably have to go through three or four more evolutions before I could even reach that level.

"The only advantage is since this is a dreamscape realm, I can appear beside you and see what is happening without your consent. Not only that, but I can even lift these restraints placed on you. However, it might alert the owner of this place.

"How about you leave this place? I have an awful feeling about this. Although the owner of this place can't notice me and you, we can't be certain about its true motive." Nyx suggested with a hint of wariness.

"Opponent has been discovered!

"War Hammer is entering the Arena!

"Match starts in 10 Seconds!"

Dark Rose voice rang at this moment and in front of Jacob a burly dwarf with a war hammer on his shoulder appeared. Above his head was iron color War Hammer's name, and beside the name was 23/33 Win and Lost with 0 Win Streak written.

Jacob's expression was cold as he stared at the tiny dwarf who didn't even reach his knees.

"This guy's psyche is also dragged in here! I can even plant a nightmare conqueror seed!" Nyx's astounded voice rang!
