"Ugh, you really leave me no choice," Eren grumbled, grudgingly accepting the goddess's proposal. He then proceeded to demand everything he felt he would need for a perfect life. He insisted on being reincarnated as the most handsome and manly man. When asked what kind of power he wanted to use to conquer the demon kings, he simply said, "I just need the strongest of all. I'm not good at choosing stuff like that." He then boldly asked, "Who's the strongest in this world?"

  The goddess, recognizing that this figure was the demon king Alto, who controlled death and possessed godly artifacts, was taken aback when Eren demanded to be imbued with twice the strength and magical abilities of Alto. "Impudence!" she exclaimed, her gentle and vulnerable facade replaced with an ominous aura of barely contained fury. "That's like asking to consume my very being! Even I cannot go against the heavens and descend upon the world! How then can I send you with a strength comparable to mine?"

  However, Eren, a skilled businessman in his past life with high-level negotiation skills, simply smirked, smoothly justifying his request with various arguments and excuses, relentlessly pressing his case. The goddess, already stressed and exasperated, thought deeply, finally arriving at a solution, though it was one that tested her patience. “You'll descend as an empty vessel, unable to wield mana on your own, but you can borrow my strength once a day," she declared. "However, the amount of power you can borrow, and how long you can use it, will depend on how well you strengthen your own body to handle it."

  As she spoke, a golden wind emanated from the goddess's lips, gently lifting Eren's soul. In a blink, he opened his eyes, feeling the raw sensation of being alive. He found himself lying beneath a tree, dressed in tattered adventurer's garb, bloodstains marking the signs of a recent struggle against a wild beast. He instinctively checked his abdomen, relieved to find it intact. At that moment, information about his current self flooded his mind.

  The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Eren had been reincarnated into the exalted elf race and specifically as the exiled elf prince, Yeager. This was no ordinary elf. Prince Yeager had been praised for his unparalleled genius. As a mere ten-year-old, he had annihilated an entire elite demonic army of 2000. He was a skilled mage, beloved by mana itself, which allowed him to effortlessly wield high-tier spells. However, being pampered and idolized from such a young age had fostered a cruel and arrogant attitude.

  Prince Yeager had become convinced of his own superiority, losing the drive to learn new spells or refine his magical skills. This arrogance was his undoing when he attended a supreme-level tournament that united all races except the demons. He entered the tournament, confident in his victory, but was utterly crushed by a noble dwarf named Mayden. Mayden possessed a body that could absorb and disperse mana, naturally negating medium and higher-rank magic spells. Mayden, with his incredible speed, closed the distance before Yeager could cast a forbidden-level spell and delivered a devastating punch to his frail body, causing his internal organs to explode.

  After this crushing defeat before millions of spectators, the prince's status plummeted. His ruthless nature, which he had thought made him stronger, contributed to his humiliation, driving away any sympathy. His destroyed organs were replaced with mechanical ones to sustain his life, which caused him to lose his affinity for mana. His strength as a great mage was gone, his status as a prodigy destroyed.

  The other princes, previously oppressed and bullied by Yeager, seized the opportunity to repay him for his cruelty. With the loss of the elders' support, Yeager could no longer secure his title and was shamefully exiled from the elven lands.

  Though his status as a powerful mage had crumbled, Yeager's famed beauty remained, making him a target for ruthless women seeking handsome consorts or decorative trophies. His life became a relentless chase. He was forced to flee into the forbidden forest, where he was eventually attacked and killed by a deadly wolf, his life extinguished so that Eren could be reincarnated into his body.
