It is about Mathias Hildesheimr (aka Matty) the Reincarnation of Gaia, a mage that lived thousand years ago. In the world of magic, the powers and future of a mage are predetermined at birth through so called "Marks" , the four symbols that categorize a human's aptitude for magic. The fact that his mark was considered very bad for combat and only useful to increase the magic, an incredibly skilled sage decided to reincarnate thousands years in the future.
Reborn as Mathias Hildesheimr a six year old boy and the third son of a duke's family he attains the mark of close combat he always desired. Unfortunately, it is also discovered that mankind's knowledge of magic and swordsmanship has drastically weakened in this era. Only poor quality magic equipment can be found, while even the most basic spells have been forgotten. To add insult to injury, his current mark, once hailed as the most powerful, is now viewed as the worst.
When Matty becomes 12 years old, his unequalled swordsmanship lands him in the Second Royal Academy. However, the former sage uncovers signs of demons working in the shadows, and with humanity weaker than ever, it is up to Matty to stop the demon's plans.
