A world where the misfits of society, the ones who fall out of the boat and are unable to live a generic 'normal' life, have the option to reincarnate themselves into a talented person from history. Einstein, Hitler, Stalin, Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci,... You name them. As you see Hitler is in there as well, so these people can be good, but evil as well. The method of reincarnation is slithing your throat with a special leaflike knife. Once you make the decision, you'll turn into a Great (a "good" person from history) or a Sinner ( an "evil" person from history), that's completely random and people don't have any control over it. Our main character decides to turn into either as well, but his case is a bit more special. Once your turn, you can't turn back to the identity you had before and you become the Great or Sinner you turned into, but for Seiya (Our MC), he is able to retain his old self.

Normal people are unaware that these geniuses live among them, so the story mostly revolves around these geniuses without too much input from the outer world.

The interesting part is that even though they turn into a Great or A Sinner, they retain bits and pieces of their old mentality and identity, which can initially make a Great, act like a Sinner or the opposite. Each talented person in history owns a strong will/motivation/desire and that strong feeling is present in the 'Reincarnators' as well, what makes it hard for their old mentality to supress the urge of the identity they took on and that's how they slowly turn into these famous persons. Seiya is one of the few people who's urge doesn't bother him, like it does with the other 'Reincarnators' and my personal assumption is that his own urge/desire overwrites that of the Greats identity he took on.

But since the old identity never truly fades and they're presented with unimaginable possibilities and capabilities with these powers now, makes it so that these powers can be used for good as for bad, depending on what type of person it was that received a power of either type. There are now Greats who are capable of evil and Sinners who try to repent and control their urge to sin.

Is that somewhat of a good explanation,Sam? Did I somewhat peak your interest, Val?
