She unkilled millions

I still don't understand how the curse of immortality is a punishment, oh no I live forever now, and?

Same, and some settings even hands it out as a gift

You slowly lose your memories and since the entire world runs on memories, as you lose your memories, you also lose your sense of self, and as you lose your sense of self, your body literally decays into a disgusting freak, you are in constant physical, emotional and mental agony because your mind and body and metaphysical existence are literally decaying.

immortality doesnt mean you dont age

>>715195687
yeah but that's true for everyone, if you can pick between living for 80 years and then growing old and dying or living for 500 years then slowly disintegrating then why isn't 500 just better than 80

in this setting it does, however in this setting there's some concept called "erosion" or something, where it doesn't matter how immortal you physically are, eventually your mind will start eroding and you'll go insane or lose a sense of yourself so there's no real immortality per se in this setting, and the curse of immortality just means that you live somewhat longer than others but eventually erosion will reduce your mind into nothing and your immortal body will just gradually disintegrate into immortal dust, at which point it's pretty meaningless

No, because you don't age either, so if you are 20 when you are cursed, you don't age, but you metaphysically decay into a monster. So, the normal you might die as an old person at 80, but the cursed you would turn into a monster by 40 or 50 and you would have just enough awareness to feel the physical agony of your body slowly decaying into dust, the mental agony of knowing you are becoming lesser and lesser, and your soul feels like its trapped in a corpse

I think that's pretty whatever too, but apparently the curse of immortality has a pretty practical function, if you can't "die" (in the world's concept of death) only become mindless dust (would fulfill anyone's description of death) then that means you can't go back to the leylines, and if ronova can suspect you of being corrupted by abyss then she puts the curse of immortality on you so you can't go back to the leylines and infect them too

UUUUOOOOOHHH RONOVA SEXOOO

Nah bro, you ever have a family member with Alzheimer's? That shit is fucking awful and you can see how much the person suffers knowing they can't remember something they know they should.
