In this world, individuals like Zack, who had once wielded immense strength, were known as the marked. The events like earthquakes, storms, or avalanches that followed their reincarnation marked them as something extraordinary, people whose very existence was intertwined with great, lost power. For those without any magical or physical abilities, the marked were seen almost as beings of destiny. The powerless treated them with reverence, offering aid and kindness, hoping to be on the good side of someone who might one day regain their lost might. In the eyes of ordinary people, the marked were rare protectors, symbols of hope who could potentially rise to face the dangers of the world.
