A brave sage, and perhaps the world's strongest one, Mathias is unable to tap his full potential because of a weak crest. "The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest" Episode 1 kickstarts the journey of Mathias as he decides to reincarnate with a new crest in a faraway land.

Before the reincarnation, Mathias bears a mark that is not meant to be used in battles. Despite bearing the weakest crest, he has mustered all his efforts to become the world's greatest sage.

However, he decides he needs to become even stronger and for that, he should get a new crest. After his rebirth as a 6-year-old boy, he wants to gain more knowledge and find allies.

"His strength limited by the magical crest with which he was born, Mathias, the world’s most powerful sage, decides reincarnation is necessary to become the strongest of all. Upon his rebirth as a young boy, Mathias is thrilled to discover he's been born with the optimal crest for magical combat on his first try!
