Reincarnation Contract

On that day, the sun stopped rising and the world fell into eternal night. The gods fell, and humans lit "soul lamps" in the ruins to survive. Chen Xu, an ordinary scavenger, was bound by a parchment scroll that came from nowhere when he was about to die - the reincarnation contract. The contract stipulates that he can restart his life countless times, and every time he dies, everything will return to zero. But every time you restart, you must "sacrifice" the thing you cherish most to the contract: the first life is the memory of first love; the second life is the face of the mother; the third life is the shame of being a "human"... The contract is fair. If you want power, just give it "humanity". Chen Xu thought he was an exploiter of the rules. He sacrificed time and time again in exchange for extraordinary talents, built a city-state in the eternal night, and fought against the whispers of the evil gods of the past. Until the ninety-ninth restart, he found a diary left by his "previous life" in the ruins of a destroyed city. The first page of the diary reads: "Chen Xu, if you see this diary, it means that you have 'forgot' again. Don't believe in the reincarnation contract! It is not your golden finger, but our cage. We, the 'you' in all lives, are trapped here by it. Remember, this time, you must kill yourself in the next reincarnation..." When the end of the eternal night is not dawn, but the body of another one of himself, Chen Xu understands that the final clause of this contract is: the only survivor can terminate the contract.
