Synopsis

Even the world's strongest sage cannot escape the limits of the magical crest he was born with. Seeking greater power, he chooses reincarnation and returns as Mathias, a boy whose new crest is perfectly suited to combat. The future has a surprise waiting, however: magical knowledge has declined, and his ideal crest is now dismissed as the weakest. Armed with experience that his new world has forgotten, Mathias sets out to prove what his supposedly defective gift can do. Battles and magical training turn conventional wisdom upside down in this fantasy about starting over with the knowledge to challenge an entire age.
