Immortal Curse

Immortal Curse

Jin-Woo begins as a gifted antique evaluator whose life is upended when a counterfeit relic exposes a hidden conspiracy tied to bloodshed and secret power. He is drawn into danger after a memory-chip implantation and the transfer of skills from 18 grandmasters, which makes him both unusually capable and deeply targeted. As he digs further, he learns that his missing archaeologist parents died protecting the secret of Jilin, and that he is the last heir of King Qi’s loyal bloodline. His rare fingerprint is revealed as the key to a bronze gate, placing his own body at the center of the mystery. Rather than retreat, he chooses confrontation, revenge, and the search for truth. Across trials, artifact competitions, and violent clashes, he repeatedly humiliates arrogant rivals who underestimate him. The story then widens into military sieges and supernatural expeditions, where locked escape routes, underground palaces, cursed roads, and ancient ruins force the group into constant survival mode. In these crises, bloodline legitimacy, inherited authority, and control over hidden knowledge become as important as raw strength. Chang is awakened as a chosen heir, but others try to control his will, showing that inheritance itself is a battlefield. Jin-Woo and his allies face ghost soldiers, statues, poisonous swarms, traps, and sealed chambers that punish recklessness and greed. He also proves able to detect corruption, command spirits, and impose order when others panic or betray the mission. Meanwhile, the conflict keeps circling back to ancient relics such as the Soul Guiding Lamp, the Bronze Sacred Tree, and the bronze gate, each tied to deeper power and catastrophe. Several figures are revealed to be bound by curses, hidden identities, or long-buried revenge, making the struggle feel larger than any single expedition. The danger escalates when sealed coffins, forbidden tombs, and blood-opened doors release forces that cannot be easily contained. Renzo emerges as a major threat across the wider arc, pursuing immortality, stolen power, and a perfect world built on domination. Jin-Woo’s return after being presumed dead reinforces him as the central resistance against those who want to seize relics, bodies, and bloodlines. By the end of the batch, the story remains locked in a larger war over ancient power, family truth, and who has the right to control what has been buried.
