Martin’s [_A Song of Ice and Fire_](http://time.com/3994289/george-rr-martin-game-of-thrones-song-of-fire-and-ice-ending/)series, [many characters](http://time.com/3924852/every-game-of-thrones-death/) have met an untimely end. So in a world where all men must die—and hardly anyone lives long enough to succumb to old age—how long would you survive?

Martin’s series.
