-Pain.
Pain and fear that seeped into his very marrow constantly gnawed at Roland's body.
As a prime example of someone who had ascended to the heavens in a single leap long ago, the concept of agelessness and deathlessness had always existed within Roland's body.
As he gradually grew, this concept had begun to approach imperishability and indestructibility, to the point that even he was somewhat at a loss over how to kill himself completely.
