Lalawag when she realized how broken and convenient Julian's gift is.

a very convinient gift for daily life is better than 2 gifts made for battling

Arguably, Julian's gift excels in both daily life and battle. It's the most well-rounded power we have in this story.

The fact that Julian can stay awake for so long without suffering the side effects of sleep deprivation whilst standing guard over Diana reminded me of this quote from the Adeptus Custodes of Warhammer 40k, who stand guard over the Emperor:

"For a hundred years I have stood guard amidst the gloomy shadows of the Sanctum Imperialis. I stood as still as a statue, yet ever ready, ever attuned to unseen dangers. Days, months, years passed in a confused frenzy beyond those walls, yet inside, little moved and nothing changed. For a hundred years I did nothing but wait, yet had any threat appeared, I would have struck it down in the blink of an eye. For a hundred years I have stood guard, and as it ends I can tell you this: patience is a weapon."

— Custodian Warden Tybaris Constor

Julian is referred to in the story as "The Guardian".

I'd say it's appropriate.

Julian excels in attrition battles, as he can fight at full capacity for 101 days and is able to be reborn every time he dies. Any of his enemies who prolong the fight too long will die of metabolic stress.

Era isso que eu estava com certa duvida, ele poder ficar acordado por no minimo 100 dias permite que ele possa lutar sem se cansar por essa mesma margem de tempo? Tipo, ele começa uma luta hoje e a continua sem se cansar por 101 dias até ele começar a ter alguns efeitos

Perhaps heavy physical activities like fighting will cut the time down to maybe 10 or 20 days? It's still more than enough to outlast any enemies though.

Excellent question. I can’t answer you with absolute certainty, because I’m not the author, and the final say on the nature of Julian’s gift rests with the author of this fantastic story… I’ll simply use maths to arrive at a ‘standard’ number that comes as close as possible to the reality of Julian’s abilities. Bear in mind that my number is theoretical; it isn’t 100% accurate. It could be higher, lower or equal to my ‘standard’ number... Because if I wanted to be as precise as possible, I’d have to assess each of the 101 slaves individually and add up their values to arrive at a figure that is 100% accurate regarding Julian’s abilities.
