Synopsis: Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Master of Garden ~Seven Yin Retsuden~

Focuses on how Shadow Garden established itself in its early years while recounting the past of other characters and intermediate stories that occur during the main story. Not the main character, and not the last boss. The one who lurks in the shadows of the storyline and holds all the power, hiding his true abilities by acting like a side character. The boy who longs to be a 'Shadowbroker' lives an unobtrusive life as a side character, training to gain magic power until he's killed in an accident and reincarnated into another world. Reborn as Cid Kagenou, the boy decides to enjoy himself in this other world with a made-up scenario about "the Eminence in Shadow." He starts fooling around with secret maneuvers against a cult that he was born from his imagination and it turns out that the cult really does exist! The girls he took on as his subordinates on a whim began worshiping Cid as Shadow, and before he knew it, Cid had become a true "Eminence in Shadow" and established a secret organization known as Shadow Garden. Based on the video game of the same name.
