What is The Eminence in Shadow?
Cid finds himself transported to another world with a singular ambition: to become the mastermind pulling strings from the shadows rather than the hero taking center stage. He spins elaborate tales to establish Shadow Garden, an underground organization supposedly fighting a cult of his own invention. The problem? The cult actually exists, and his fictional power fantasy has placed him directly in their path.
Some people just aren’t suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That’s the role Cid wants to play when he’s transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there’s a catch even his wild imagination didn’t see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they’re beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!
