So let's say something special happened. Maybe you met some powerful omnipotent being and you impressed him somehow. Or maybe you were touched by both a noodly appendage AND an invisible unicorn horn. Or maybe some freak accident, such as by experimenting on yourself in a lab or being struck by lightning while playing golf during a thunderstorm...
After some time, you realize you haven't aged since then, or your body suddenly reverts back to your prime years. Now you're fuctionally immortal (poison, diseases won't kill you, but you can still be murdered). What would you do with your newfound gift?
I'm sure someone's gonna say something about sharing such a gift, but personally I'd hide the fact that I'm immortal. From EVERYONE. Sure I'd lose friends and family and I'd need to change identities every few decades... But when you think about it, if your immortality was found out countries would go to war just to have you in their lab... on their experimentation table. And everyone who knows of your gift would be murdered by them. After all, the leaders of those countries would be able to secure their foothold as ruler of the world if they were the only people with immortality...

Y'know? I bought Minecraft because I thought it was a war game where you had to create tactically placed proximity explosive devices...
