I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:
You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.
These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

Prompt #1284
“They will tell you they love you,” the witch said to her apprentice as she watched her cauldron. “They will treat you just as they treat your kin. But if you show them a single ounce of what you are capable of, they will call you a threat and hunt you like an animal.”
The apprentice’s face burned as their pestle stilled within the mortar. “And what of magicians, then?”
“They think it’s all tricks, so we get hunted least, my dear,” the magician said, looking up from their trunk. “Half of my show are things non-mages can do. The rest teeter on the line of plausible deniability. Moving around keeps us from getting tracked.”
“Have you found what you needed yet, or are you going to keep eavesdropping, magician?” the witch asked.
“Ah, I've just about found it.” Their arms went impossibly deep into the trunk. “While I'm in here, is there anything you or your apprentice need?”
“What could either of us possibly need?”
The magician grinned widely. “A trinket or charm, perhaps? Something to keep the magic from bubbling out at inopportune times?”
“Do not encourage my apprentice to dance with fire, Magician.”
“That is not what I am doing, Witch,” they replied. Their shoulder, too, had disappeared into the trunk with nearly a quarter of their torso. “I am simply going to give them something that will make them less threatening. No trade required.”
The apprentice looked up from their work. “You’re terrible at business.”
“Yes. That is why I am a magician and not a witch.”

May I perhaps have a few reasons a character would fake their death? It's for a Creepypasta I'm writing.
It did not occur to me that there were people still writing actual Creepypastas and not just fanfiction. But it looks like you're doing both, so more power to you! I hope you have fun!
Thinking most generally to more specifically, the first reason that comes to mind is: new beginnings.
A character may want to start over in such a way that their old self can never be recovered. The death could be used as a symbolic death of who they used to be. They may not want to be the person they were anymore for some reason or another, potentially even because they saw an aspect of themself they may want to "kill."
In another case, a character may be running from something or someone. The character's previous identity would be known to this entity, which could be a problem for them for a variety of reasons including:
Safety
Consequences of previous actions
A new sense of self that does not match with the entity's preconceived notions of your character's existence (this can be a trans allegory, an "I'm not like you, Dad!" story, or a being hunted down by a scary science facility of ill repute and unknown origin story)
Very low bullshit tolerance (“You are NOT getting me into that shit again if you can't find me!”)
Faking one's death just to get away from someone scheming can be played for comedy depending on what aspects you lean into. Is this some idiot with ten thousand get rich quick schemes up their sleeves or someone more than willing to throw someone else under the bus for their own safety/gains?
Third option is they need to be dead. Your character should be dead for some reason but they aren't done living yet. This also has a variety of flavors that can be mixed and matched with previous examples!
There is something they cannot do while "alive"
Something will be stopped with their "death"
Someone very badly wanted them dead, but can be temporarily sated with this "death" so long as your character is careful
And there is also the copout answer of: they never meant to fake their death, they almost died/were nearly killed but got better and now must deal with living as legally dead.
Good luck on your Creepypasta!

Prompt #1278
“You know how much I love you, right?” they said as the vehicle came to an abrupt stop.
“That's why I asked you to do this.”
“It's also why I'm not trying to strangle you for making me do this.”

I can't believe 3 people reblogged this without telling me I forgot to finish a sentence in there! Anyways, it's fixed now.
Prompt #1276
“Get a muzzle on that one,” the captain of the guard said, gesturing at the prisoner with his chin.
Though all were bound and kneeling, the newly-muzzled prisoner was the one he still kept his distance from. They glared up at him as though still thinking of ways to rip his throat out.
“You didn't think I'd forget you bite, did you?"
