陰の実力者になりたくて!

Cid Kagenou has never dreamed of being a hero or a villain. His only desire is to become the hidden mastermind who pulls the strings from the shadows. In his previous life in modern Japan, he couldn't achieve this goal, but after being reborn in a world of magic, he finally gains the power to make his fantasy a reality.

To perfect his act, Cid pretends to be an average, forgettable student by day while secretly building his own organization, Shadow Garden. He invents a dramatic backstory about an evil cult to entertain himself and recruits followers to play along with his game.

However, Cid's imaginary enemies turn out to be real. The mysterious Cult of Diablos actually exists, and his loyal subordinates are taking his made-up mission far more seriously than he ever intended. Unaware of the truth, Cid continues his performance, unknowingly becoming the true mastermind he always wanted to be.
