Jack visited the magic shop every chance he got, spending hours poring over the strange objects and chatting with the friendly owner, a mysterious man named Mr. Black.
Despite his friendly demeanor, there was something odd about Mr. Black. Jack couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was a sense that he was hiding something.
One day, as Jack was browsing the shop, he overheard a conversation between Mr. Black and another customer. They were discussing a powerful spell that could grant the user eternal youth and immortality.
Jack was intrigued but also apprehensive. He knew that such magic came with a heavy price, and he wasn't sure if he was willing to pay it. But the temptation was too great, and he found himself asking Mr. Black about the spell.
To his surprise, Mr. Black agreed to teach him the spell, but only if he could prove himself worthy. Jack was given a series of tasks to complete, each one more difficult than the last. But he was determined to succeed, knowing that the reward would be worth the effort.
After weeks of hard work, Jack finally completed the final task, and Mr. Black agreed to teach him the spell. But as he began to recite the incantation, he felt a sudden sense of dread. He realized too late that he had been tricked, that the spell was not one of immortality but of eternal servitude to Mr. Black.
Terrified and trapped, Jack begged for a way out, but Mr. Black only laughed and disappeared into the shadows. Jack was left alone in the magic shop, a prisoner of his own desire for power.
