    The protagonist is reborn repeatedly. In his first life, he is a traveler who sees the world; in his second life, he is a war correspondent who objectively records decades of wars, large and small. Later, he becomes a general, a leader, a scientist, and so on. The characters are vividly portrayed, especially the journalist in his previous life, who is full of idealism.
