7715336 While you are correct in the definitive sense, when writing, immortality usually means you don't age but can be killed through unnatural means. Vampires, for example. They (typically) remain ageless, but can be killed with a stake through the heart, decapitation, what have you.
Regardless, he's not immortal. I'll explain why later on.
You got it backwards. Immortality means you cannot die. Almost no one uses that to mean ageless alone. Usually it's meant as a combo of being unable to be killed and will live forever, with the emphasis on the former.
Edit: Could always use the GURPS terms of Unkillable and Ageless which eliminates all confusion because usually immortal implies both as I said before rather than 1 or the other.
loved it please write more
