They were addicted to going into dungeons and trying their luck. The harder, the better. Their skills improved incredibly since they had been doing this since they were young. Of course, immortality didn't hurt either. So what happened to all the loot? There were several temples, hospitals, and care places that didn't have to worry about money thanks to their addiction. -- Anon Guest
Once upon a time, the story goes, there was a soldier who was unbeatable on the field of battle. Ze made the mistake of bragging to the gods that as long as ze had hir sword, ze was immortal.
One of those deities said, "So be it," and that warrior became cursed with immortality.
This was usually told as a legend to warn people about the cost of hubris. Few ever really believe that it happened like that. Which almost suited Heikian, since hir name was not remembered in story or song. That said, there were only so many wars ze could fight in before the gloss wore off that particular gingerbread.
