Dear Diary,
I don't know how to start writing this, but I feel like "Dear Diary" isn't good enough. I know no one will read this, as this is something to reorganize my thoughts and memories, but I still feel that this should have a better start.
Regardless, let's start by introducing myself, my name is Alex, I was always Alex, even in my first life, when I didn't know anything and all I wanted is to become the richest man alive so I could give my parents a better life and marry the girl I had a crush on.
I was a normal person, a peasant dreaming of the Empire's capital, and, eventually, I became a rich merchant by selling a product I made on my own - buttock wiper. I always found it weird to wip my buttock with leaves, so I decided to use paper instead. It was hard to find a soft paper, but in the end it paid off and I became rich.
Eventually, I died, I never knew what would happen after I died, and, to be honest, I was afraid of what would happen, but I never thought once that I would be reborn as the son of the most prominent merchant family, the "van der Beurze".
I can't blame myself, it was the first time I died and was reborn, after the third time I just accepted it as it is. Although it seems like I'm the only one with this power, even after traveling the whole world I didn't find someone with the same ability as me.
When I was reborn the first time, I decided to use my future knowledge to not only sell my brilliant buttock wiper, but invest in many different entrepreneurs as well. I eventually became the wealthiest man in the Empire and bought a noble title - I became a Baron.
It was by the second time I died that I understood my regressing ability, I found out that everytime I died I would be reborn as the son of a higher version of what I was before. For example, the second time I died I was reborn as the son of an Earl, the "Vaelmont", a family of mages.
Once again, I used my knowledge of the future and my abilities to once again have my splendid creation - the buttock wiper - and also train to become one of the best mages of the empire. I was curious to see if I would be reborn again, and what I would become.
Surprisingly, or not, I became the son of the Duke family "Emberlyn", the most prominent family of fire mages, and, once again, I repeated the process I did in my past lives - I can't live without my buttock wiper. Sometimes I ask myself if it's worth it, I would die and be reborn in the future, after all.
Since I was already at the pinnacle of a mage, I decided to try becoming a martial artist, there isn't much difference between a mage and a martial artist. A mage is someone who uses mana externally, while a martial artist is someone who uses mana internally and might use weapons, like a sword, which is the weapon I decided to master.
Although in theory you can be both a mage and a martial artist, I found it very difficult to use both mana externally and internally. It isn't impossible, it's just hard to do if you don't have the talent for both ways of using mana or if you aren't like me, who can just train for countless lives. I decided to focus on one thing at a time, since I wasn't the most talented, but, eventually, I would use both in the future.
After training the sword as the son of a mage family - I still remember the many questions about my sanity - I eventually died and was reborn as the daughter - I never once thought I would be reborn as something that wasn't a man - of the Duke family of knights, the "Solbrand", who used mana internally and a sword to channel fire from in to out. Think of it as blood coming from the heart to the wrist. Mana is like blood, after all.
One thing that doesn't change, however, is my tastes. Even after being reborn as a woman, I still like other women, which led to me being exiled after the Solbrand found out that their daughter was dating another lady. I don't regret it, as it led me to my fourth rebirth, the son of the exiled Duke family who were blood related to the Empire's royal family, the "Dravencourt".
As the son of the Dravencourt I was able to gather allies to become the new emperor, and, when I died, I became what I am now, the third son of the Empire's royal family, Alex(andre) "The Savior" Zarenthal.
