if life is World of Warcraft, then immortals are like hardcore players. At
first their only advantage is just much more playing time. But eventually
time will bring them everything, including money, equipments, power, fame
that regular players (except very few talented ones) have no way to reach.
leveraging time the ultimate weapon, immortals will inevitably join (or
become) the top class of any society and control most power, regardless of
their own characteristics. if life has a purpose, it's gotta be to see what
the next level looks like!
