The Daily Life Of The Immortal King Mal

Another Day, Another Eternity for King Mal
So, you think being immortal is all sunshine and rainbows? Think again. King Mal, bless his never-aging heart, has the same problems as the rest of us. Except, you know, amplified by, oh, a few millennia.
First off, the morning routine. Imagine picking an outfit that's trendy enough to not look ancient. But also comfy enough for a guy who's seen every trend come and go... several times. He probably just wears sweatpants, honestly.
Then there's breakfast. Cereal? Too boring. Eggs benedict? He's probably allergic to something by now, after eating everything imaginable for centuries. He probably just drinks coffee. And maybe complains that they don't make it like they used to.
Must Read
The Royal To-Do List
Ruling a kingdom isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you've ruled, like, a dozen kingdoms. King Mal probably spends most of his day signing treaties he doesn't remember agreeing to. Or listening to advisors explain problems he solved centuries ago, only slightly differently this time.
And don't even get me started on royal galas. Small talk is already the worst. Now imagine making small talk with the descendants of people you actually knew. Awkward!

"Honestly, I think he secretly enjoys playing solitaire," one (anonymous!) royal servant whispers.
Plus, finding hobbies must be a nightmare. He's probably mastered every instrument, sport, and board game known to man. What's left? Competitive napping? Professional goldfish staring?
The Relationship Conundrum
Let's talk relationships. Dating is hard enough. Try dating when you know you'll outlive everyone you love. That's gotta be a mood killer. I bet King Mal just has a really strong wifi password and a subscription to every streaming service.
Making new friends? Also difficult. Imagine constantly having to explain why you don't remember the '90s. Or why you keep calling cars "horseless carriages." It's probably easier to just hang out with the royal dog. Dogs don't judge.

The Unpopular Opinion Zone
Here's my unpopular opinion: I bet King Mal is secretly addicted to reality TV. Think about it! Drama he doesn't have to be involved in? People making terrible life choices he can judge from afar? It's the perfect immortal entertainment.
Another one? He probably hates it when people ask him for advice. Like, yeah, he's lived a long time. But does that make him an expert on your problems? Probably not. He probably just wants to watch his shows in peace.

King Mal's Nightly Rituals
Finally, bedtime. But even that's complicated. Does he even need sleep anymore? Maybe he just lies awake, replaying historical events in his head. Or maybe he's perfected the art of lucid dreaming. He's had enough practice, that's for sure.
He probably has a really elaborate skincare routine. All that sun exposure throughout the ages, you know? And probably a weighted blanket. Even immortal kings need comfort sometimes.
So next time you're having a bad day, remember King Mal. He's probably dealing with way more complicated problems. And he's been doing it for centuries. Now that's a reason to appreciate your (mortal) life.
