This sorta reminds me of the El Goonish Shive comic with the immortals. They'd do a sort of reset on themselves every now and then because otherwise they just keep getting more powerful and less stable.

I am not familiar with the comic. Is this in comparison with "The Shadow" or the protagonists?

Galaxia. Immortals getting bored and start doing messed up things. The reset they'd do would sort of make them like a teen again and they'd more or less forget all their life experiences, but they'd remember them like being read in a book rather than doing it themselves so they could in in a way live each experience new again. They'd call it dying, but not quite as much as us mere mortals. Though they could also die improperly because the death thing was a process and having it done wrong would leave the immortal all sorts of goofed up, but not in the end the world sort of way.

Ah, at least I never claimed my story to be original!
Thanks for the info, it was not my intention for building up such a remarkable ressemblance, but I hope it was to your enjoyment.

Well this took a turn!

Shoulda known Galaxia was a psycho!

Not very hard when you are alone. Wanted to do make a take on Dr Braun from Fallout 3 who lived so long that he started to pleasure in the suffering of others in the alternate realities he created.
