Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Master of Garden ~Shichikage Retsuden~, The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden ~Seven Shadows Chronicles~, 陰の実力者になりたくて！マスターオブガーデン～七陰列伝～

Based on the Gatcha auto battler mobile game. Focuses on recounting the past of other characters and intermediate stories that occur during the main story which are also canonical. 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 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 knows it, Cid has become a true "Eminence in Shadow" and establishes a secret organization known as Shadow Garden.
