In a world where humans and demonfolk are constantly at war, the all-powerful demon lord Anoth Voltegourde tires of the endless bloodshed. He proposes a truce with the hero: divide the world into parts to separate the two races for a thousand years. Voltegourde then allows himself to be killed with the plan to reincarnate two thousand years in the future, hoping to be born into a better world.


He indeed reincarnates in a more peaceful era, born as a baby of two loving human parents. He receives an invitation to enroll at Demon King Academy, whose task is to find the reincarnated demon lord as it is known that the reincarnation will occur this year. With his unrivaled powers, Voltegourde fully expects to be instantly recognized.


However, he is however promptly deemed "unqualified"; over the centuries, the tales about his personality, deeds, and even his name have been so distorted that there is not even the slightest resemblance as to who and what he once was. While annoyed, Voltegourde still expects that others will recognize him for what he is. More importantly, something else bothers him: the demonfolk and their magic have regressed so much that he is rendered dumbstruck, and most striking of all, his former lich lieutenant no longer seems to recognize him. Dark forces seem to be at work to prevent him from taking the helm of the demons. But to protect those dear to him, demon lord Voltegourde is ready to even defy providence if he must.

In a world of magic, the powers and future of a mage are predetermined at birth through so-called "Marks"—four symbols that categorize a human's aptitude for magic. Lamenting the fact that his mark was considered ill-suited for combat and only useful for magic augmentation, 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 deteriorated in this era; only shoddy magic equipment can be sporadically 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 Mathias becomes 12 years old, his unrivaled swordsmanship lands him in the Second Royal Academy. Shattering prejudices, he promptly makes ripples in the academy and beyond. However, the former sage uncovers signs of dark forces working in the shadows, and with humanity weaker than ever, it is up to Mathias to thwart their evil plans.

With the world at peace, it is an era where conquering dungeons has been transformed into entertainment. Adventurers and monsters are able to fight with a substitute body made of magic, popularizing dungeon conquests with no deaths. In a continent where dungeon conquests are livestreamed, the party I was associated with was supposed to have been the 4th most popular in world. However, as the rules mandated that a party must consist of 5 members at most, I was told that I was hindering them from climbing to 3rd place being that I was a black mage, the least popular job.


Having lost my job, I struggled with finding another party until one day a beautiful woman appeared before me telling she had a job for me. Moved by the fact that she valued my abilities more than my former comrades ever did, I ended up taking the interview before hearing what the job entailed. In the deepest part of the dungeon with the highest difficulty, the demon lord's castle, one of the Four Devas was waiting for me. This is the story of the black mage who was expelled from the heroes party as he enters into the demon lord's army and repels the heroes.
