Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute

Synopsis

In his reincarnated life in a distinct realm, Cid Kagenou cherishes an unusual aspiration. Far from desiring to be a classic hero or an ultimate antagonist, Cid yearns to be an inconspicuous mastermind, operating surreptitiously in the background. Hence, he industriously endeavours to construct an ideal setting for his coveted role in this new world.

But a peculiar predicament arises—his envisioned adversaries and intricately designed plots, meant to be mere figments of his imaginative mind, appear to hold actual existence in this alien world. This reality, intertwined with fantasy, leaves Cid as the sole entity oblivious to the truth. Now, in a world where fiction and reality blur, Cid finds himself caught up in a bewildering game of shadows that he himself orchestrated.
