Jacob Steve, an Old Man, died at 116 after living a whole life.

But Jacob always had a dark side, which he always suppressed and hid from others. 
However, in the later years of his life, when death was inevitable, he understood there wasn't any point in having wealth, knowledge, or desires if you couldn't have a life to enjoy them.

He became obsessed with fabled immortality and devoted his reaming life to extending his fleeting lifespan, but just like any other, he failed.

However, he mysteriously got another chance at life and found a way that led to fabled immortality. 
But he was also forewarned that the way led to it was filled with blood and darkness!

In the end, Jacob chose it anyway with no way of going back, and it was also the start of his suffering and his icky, brutal journey toward the 'Immortality' he wanted so badly!

Jacob remained calm as he evaluated the new development, 'The second and third trial together? Or did he just merge them on a whim?'


However, after the Artifact Spirit's unusual solemn speech, Jacob knew he had successfully shown his 'talent' as a Soulmancer, and that's probably the only thing the Artifact Spirit wants.


Now, he was just a step away from unraveling the secrets of the Soulless Ghost Pagoda and acquiring it.


Jacob then took the Class-1 Soulless Flame and approached the stele; the entire first chapter of the Soulmancer Codex was revealed.


The first section, like the Artifact Spirit stated earlier, inscribed the formula and introduction to Class-1 Soulless Flame and Soulmancy. In the second section, things were completely different.
