You could do something a bit like Grand Central Arena. Like, in the far future, the human race (through the power of Science!!!) finally achieves immortality, and this does not go unnoticed. The entity known as Death sends out its minions to swarm a human colony at the outer reaches of their empire, and this too does not go unnoticed; a mass of immortal warriors armed with swords and staffs and at least one actual magic wand fend off the attack, and welcome the humans into the secret world of the Immortal Kin...
Who then promptly view them with a mixture of distrust and genuine dread when they realise the humans weren't born immortal, that instead of their gift coming from just how magical or mystical or just plain special they were, their new friends had to grind out their immortality and basically backdoor the system into getting what they wanted. The Spectres of Death still haunt the universe, but it's up to humans to prove their worth to the Immortal Kin and keep hunting them... but can science succeed where magic cannot?
