To be clear, I don’t kill anyone. I only beat them until they will never recover enough to seek vengeance.
We can make it funnier. I have a resurrection artifact that is cursed, every time I am killed and get resurrected I age 5 years, but beating a human in unarmed combat makes me one year younger. There is no dying of old age, I keep coming back older. So either I am a feisty frail old man or I end up a kid that people have to kill because I don’t stop attacking until my 20s.

You shouldn’t be trying to kill your players, no. But it’s also not your job to keep them alive. That’s their business.
