The account "Dungeon:MateA" will now always have a positive balance for as long as you keep your promise.
Unlike you, the Ethereum blockchain is incapable of ever breaking this promise.

Use SLIP-39, and a hardware wallet that allows recovery from SLIP-39 shards (eg. a Trezor).
With BIP-39, you are simply going to lose your wallet, eventually. It's almost inevitable. Either because you lose the 12- or 24-word passphrase, OR because someone else finds one of your backups.
I've written a decent Python implementation, here, which is simple enough to review:

It’s fairly easy to derive the keys yourself, don’t expect any single piece of software going dead would cause a problem.

Crypto currencies will be worth jack shit in 10 years in all likelihood though..
