The Wrong Kind of Immortality
Synopsis
Orestis Stathis became immortal by accident—and spent a thousand years discovering why that was a curse, not a gift.
His body could no longer be harmed. It could no longer feel pleasure. With nothing at stake and nothing to gain, existence slowly hollowed him out.
After centuries of trying to die, he finally succeeds… only to wake up in his own childhood body, years before the curse ever took hold.
This time, he has one simple goal: live quietly, avoid notice, and die properly of old age.
It should have been easy. He knows every trap, every war, every god’s weakness. A thousand years of experience should have made hiding in plain sight trivial.
Unfortunately, the world refuses to cooperate.
Somewhere between teaching forbidden magic to a merchant’s daughter, quietly dismantling corrupt institutions, and accidentally steering the outcome of wars—Orestis started caring again.
Now he’s becoming the most dangerous man on the continent… and the only one who genuinely doesn’t want to be.
Immortality here is not power.
It is a failure state.
