The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest

失格紋の最強賢者～世界最強の賢者が更に強くなるために転生しました～

Centuries ago, a sage who had reached the ceiling of human magic concluded that the crest he was born with would never suit the close-quarters combat magic he most wanted to master. Rather than accept that, he sealed his own soul and had himself reborn generations later, this time carrying the crest he had chosen. He wakes as Mathias in an era where magical theory has regressed so far that his ideal crest is written off as a failure's mark, and nobody believes what he is capable of.
