Ordinarily, this would be a horrible idea
A little while after the party has concluded, Inavet is toying with her newly purchased OTC goods. Forgotten Song proves to be the most fun, but The Mercury Reaches is likely to be the most actively useful in day to day life. Perfect grace and improved reflexes do that sort of thing. The last purchased item, a bag of holding, is more of a practical investment for a woman who's very soon going to flee her world for a little while to get away from assassins.
Twenty-five years of her life really isn't much to give up for them. Well, thirty, now - she minted another Ka for Aspen's sake. She's got nine-thousand years, give or take, likely longer because she's an arcanist and can fix her own body when it breaks. Thirty isn't even one percent of the time she has to live. A third of a percent of her remaining lifespan. She doesn't regret the trade, but it does make her think.
She is guaranteed, after death, to become a daeva. She has nine thousand years of life, and doubts that she'll get past the age of two thousand without dying and making that fact very relevant. The Many Worlds Forum is somewhat safe, if you don't cause trouble, if you don't go attempt to rescue people, if you keep your head down and don't attract attention. Inavet has already lived in a world where one gets a very long life if one keeps their head down and doesn't attract attention. It ended with her one of the most famous fugitives in the world.
Doesn't it make more sense for her to sell off all of her remaining lifespan, die, and then carry on as a very rich, very immortal daeva, instead of leaving it to chance and losing her ability to buy herself grace and reflexes and teleportation equivalents?
She considers this line of thought. Then she composes a PM, addressed to Leaf and Meletiti Entelecheiai.

So OTC is buying Ka, which equals 'five years of healthy life' per unit. I have nine thousand years of estimated lifespan remaining, and a guarantee that after I die I will become a daeva.
ME, by your predictions, am I guaranteed to become a daeva upon death?
Leaf, are there any obvious flaws in the obvious thing that I am thinking of doing?

Inavet goes and sends another PM, this one to Esthfora.
She doesn't immediately get a reply, but maybe the rainbow goddess is busy. Or something.

... Allegedly.
Hello! Meletiti Entelecheiai is busy saving thirteen cities from being dumped into the endless abyss of conceptual horror Outside! Can I take a message, or shall I answer your question?

I'm Chibisilian! I'm a beta fork of ME, for when he's so busy that he can't even spare an attention shard for a mundane conversation! Turns out that godlike seed AI mages require actual effort to deal with :(.

There seem to be no interference with the daeva reincarnation process from your Truth! It is predicted that you will 'wake up' in Hell as a demon after dying in Facet.
