Mortality

No matter how many times people like to talk about it over and over, it turns out even as kids, everybody already knew that nobody was immortal.

Mortal

A physical human with no extraordinary magical powers, divine ancestry, past-life in the godly realm or possibly any belief in magic, as well as who is from the mortal world and whose ghost's lifespan is just temporary.

A demigod mocked, 'You mortal, like most other ones, have no divine purpose in life, but just live to eat, sleep and work, unlike us demigods, so I don't understand why you exist for.'
