Synopsis
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!

Write a reviewA real hidden gem among the pile of trash in web novels..amazing story with a realistic ruthless mc..Quality of writing is superb..and I can't wait for more chapters to be released..Highly recommended novel read it and you won't regret
Review after chapter 217. Overall the novel and it's progression is good. However, there are a few quirks. Firstly, his background on earth is not defined or limited. For example, what year did he leave earth? How much knowledge does he really have about weapon making? Is he genius enough to create new futuristic technology without any assistance? Next the gun strength seems a bit off. However, that can be fixed by explaining why each gun can kill specific ranks of beasts or humans. Additionally, the limits and reason for things can be defined a bit better. For example, why certain technology exists in a country, but the rest of technology is pretty archaic. Or why someone had a specific type of technology but people above him do not have similar advanced tech. Most importantly, the story needs an editor. The English is good enough to get across the story, however, the errors definitely break immersion. This story could jump to a 4.5 and top rated novel if the previous and future chapters are edited. Keep up the work!
There are only 23 chapters out right now, but so far its great. The grammar is much better than the start of the authors other book.......,,
I think the story is good and I like the quick progression. The language and the style of writing is very good. But for me there are a couple of things that are breaking the flow. 1. the strength numbers goes up a bit to much and we are approaching comedy. First we are talking kg and then tonnes which is good, but now KT (1000TONNES) and it doesn't feel like we have come that far in the story. 2. Spelling can be a problem but it is fine most of the story but then we find a spelling error and it will be used several times in the same chapter and some are reoccurring through out the story. As I said mostly fine but when you find it you will likely find it again during the same chapter. 3. I don't know if it was an error or if it was a change the author wanted to make but there are switches between mph and km/h. It is nothing major but maybe choose 1 and stick with it. 4. Choose a way to describe the heart speed bps, hbps or anything else but a little the same as point 3. Choose 1 and stick with it. Also the first level of it is 10x not 1x if he goes from 1 bps normally and then he use it goes to 10 bps, which is alot, so maybe think about if you want it to be like a superpower later in the story, otherwise I would put 10 bps as the max level for the skill now.
Reveal SpoilerIt is a 2.5 star novel. The only things salvaging this novel is the frequency of updates, writing quality and how bad competition is .i have read till chapter 150ish but the story appears to be a wish fulfilment where MC gets everything on a silver spoon.He has mentality of some emo edgy teenager instead of some old man who has seen through thick and thin who knows how to put on a fake mask. An MC which thinks it is cool to be arrogant and rude . The only thing which keeps hus alive is plot Armour His whole personality is 2d cardboard and same can be said for pretty much everyone else. Only that book / pendant has some slight personality to it.TLDR: You will find the story to be 2 dimensional ( 1 to be exact but it is bearable as a quick stop gap to keep you going till you find something good.
I read up to chapter 99, but women escape every time. Why? For example, out of 99 men and one woman, one woman escapes. Isn't it more logical that one of the men survives than the women? Why doesn't Jacob kill beautiful women? He keeps talking about the devil inside, but what? Is the devil inside Jacob a gentleman? Why is Jacob acting like a third-rate villain? For example: Tell me everything you know and I'll let you go.<After saying everything>you can go, but to the afterlife, "bang"! The background characters behave like third-rate Chinese novels, as soon as they see Jacob, they start gossiping and taunting them until Jacob closes their mouths. Do they not have any self-awareness? The fact that humans are not at the top of the world like other novels, And the goblins who are mean in other novels, have superior technology than humans, makes the novel interesting. I admire the author's imagination. But I hope that after the appearance of the main character of the human race, it will not suddenly rise and destroy species that are tens of thousands of years old. For example, no matter how fast and strong the weapon is, the human body is weak, and against a species with the speed of sound, the human will die before raising the weapon.But the author designed the main character as if for every problem!! He made a weapon in the basement of his previous world house, a weapon to kill dragons, even magic techniques and martial arts for god's sake, is he even from Earth? The fight is very boring for example: Jacob disappears "bang" "bang" the attacker suddenly wakes up and sees the hole in his friends head, the attacker wets his pants and Jacob kills the attacker after torturing him . Jacob is constantly lamenting that "if there was such a weapon" "if there was such a weapon". For example: how hot is the air if I had that weapon I would destroy the sun. I hope the author has a limit for weapons and I hope in the chapters In the middle of a battle with the gods, a strange weapon does not suddenly appear and say: God-killing weapon that I made in the previous world and blew up the solar system with it.
The novel starts of slow but picks up the pace ,one of the things i didn't like in this novel of the character of the mc ,the mc is too paranoid and wants respect even when he had not shown half his capability, sometimes he lets someone live even after seeing one of his best technique and uses enemies tools without knowing consequences .
a really great novel and perfect mc cold and ruthless doesn't have some dumb hero complex would even let millions die on his way to immorality.
It would be nice if there were no firearms in this world. I've never been fond of books that bring our modern technology into a fantasy world. To me, they lose all their beauty. I sigh.
I don’t really have much to say about it. One of the best novels I’ve read in a while. The protagonist is absolutely amazing. No romance as well which is great.
After finishing the first volume I’ve decided to post my review. The biggest issue is that the author really needs an editor to do a quick once over, there are misused words everywhere, second is that the setting becomes very boring after a while, the trope of everyone backstabbing everyone else is rampant to the point of ridiculousness, the MC use of technological knowledge is good however. The story has promise and if you like a ruthless heartless monster of an MC you might enjoy this book! 3.4/5 total
I've been reading this novel now for almost 1.2 yrs and just have to say one thing about it, i got the same goosebumps reading this from the first day till now. highly recommended
In conclusion, this novel would do wonders if it had a beta reader and a qualified editor. The protagonist's personality is horrible, not because he is a villain, but because it is so poorly written and planned that it simply makes him awful. There are many VERY visible plot holes in this story that the author ignores. The characters don't feel realistic and the Mc says so much unnecessary or cringe-inducing dialogue that I just want to kick him. (rewritten review)
Finally decided to make a review for this novel. First off I am caught up to chapter 507. For me one of the few I personally would give a complete five star for as it has exceeded all my expectations for character, world building and power system. Character: Extremely well done everyone has enough depth to them. The mc is smart and watching how he uses his wits to beat the odds is truly satisfying. The main character uses everything at his disposal to gain power and survive in this deadly world. A lot of times a mc who is evil and doesn’t have attachments with other characters can get boring and monotonous as I will need to take a break before coming back to read more but I have not experienced it with this novel at any point. The world is vast and we learn more as the mc does it does what is needed providing us with a place we want to learn more about and explore. The power system is a bit complex and can be hard to grasp but is well thought out and the power is well earned each time. As the story progresses the power and abilities the mc gains become more and more interesting. The story feels very natural on how it progresses and continues to improve where the stakes become higher but the rewards are as well. I am not that great with reviews but I highly recommend on reading this.

Reveal SpoilerThis novel presents a very poor use of the English language, and the power levels and different rankings are ten times worse. However, the novel stands out with a unique and exceptional protagonist. He is incredibly intelligent and lacks empathy for others as long as it benefits him. He will go beyond all limits to obtain what he desires, showing no concern for others and sacrificing millions of lives as if they mean nothing. His journey towards immortality seems to be solitary, without even friends or someone he can trust, even a little. Despite these negative aspects, the novel is remarkably wonderful and enjoyable to read, and I highly recommend it to experience a truly unique story.
