Yes, you might have chosen to remain a mortal (just like I did).
Anyway, the story can go like your past follows you and you can't deal with a normal, quiet life no matter what you chose. You feel that the road you left behind is still calling you, and the desire to travel and fight just cannot be put aside inside your heart. So, you pull yourself together again and heed the call for another battle, more difficult and more important that even the previous one that you thought had been the last battle of your life. Such is the karma of an adventurer
