Recently I’ve been thinking about a reader who is cursed with the blessing of immortality.
Basically, reader saved a goddess’s child without knowing that the kid had a god parent and the goddess wanted to bless them with whatever they want, however the goddess is not known for her blessings, but her curses. Her curses are known to be virtually unbreakable, unless you are able to complete whatever stipulation she put on the curse. Well, due to circumstances that involves reader being taken from their home world and surviving horrors, they tell the goddess “I want to die in my home world.”
The goddess then curses them with immortality, with the only way to break the curse is if reader is returned to their home world and dies.
People think that reader must be truly blessed, I mean they are immortal and are traveling between worlds, time and dimensions without worrying about dying!
But for reader, it’s the worst hell they have ever experienced. They are immortal and still feel pain, they are an alien in worlds that look so much like their own, but it isn’t. They know it isn’t. They can feel how different the air feels, they can feel the passage of time not apply to them and it’s unnerving.
It’s not all doom and gloom however, especially when they befriend creatures and beings with extremely long lifespans, who are basically immortal themselves.
Who became obsessed with this immortal human who might have changed the course of their world’s history.
