After being reincarnated into a world of magic and swordplay, Cid adopts his alter ego, Shadow, and recruits a secret organization known as Shadow Garden. His goal is to roleplay his way through a complex conspiracy, creating elaborate stories about a shadowy cult to keep his subordinates busy. The catch?
