    At birth, wizards randomly acquire one of four "badges" representing their level of magical ability. Armed with a badge specializing in creativity, a man named Gaius reached his potential, becoming the strongest sage in the world. Despite his superior strength, he is dissatisfied with his abilities and is eager to get the right mark for melee combat. Knowing that one's badge is unchangeable, Gaius decides to reincarnate in the future, hoping to change his fate.

Thousands of years later, Gaius is reborn as Mathias Hildesheimer, successfully obtaining the badge he has long coveted. However, he is surprised to learn that during this time, magic has greatly weakened, and techniques that were once widely used are now nothing more than a blip in legend. Moreover, the badge he worked so hard to achieve is now considered the weakest – merely dubbed the "Peak of Failure".

However, Mathias naturally exceeded all expectations. He enrolls in the Second Academy of the imperial capital, overcoming all challenges that come his way. But soon, Mathias discovers the dark truth behind humanity's fall into magical mediocrity—the devil—and attempts to remedy the consequences of his millennia-long absence once and for all.
