The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest

In a world where magical aptitude is determined by the crest one is born with, a powerful sage, yearning for greater strength, makes the ultimate sacrifice: he reincarnates centuries into the future. His hope is to be born with the "Crest of Annihilation," a symbol he believes will unlock his true potential. However, upon his rebirth, he discovers that society's understanding of crests has drastically shifted, and his desired crest is now considered the weakest, a mark of failure. Now named Matthias, the former sage must navigate a world that undervalues his inherent power, constantly facing skepticism and prejudice due to his "weak" crest. Undeterred, Matthias sets out to prove that true strength isn't dictated by societal norms or inherited symbols, but by skill, determination, and a deep understanding of magic. His journey promises to challenge long-held beliefs and redefine what it means to be the strongest.
