Cid Kagenou has a dream. Not of being some typical protagonist or the Final Boss-he has his eyes set on becoming a hidden mastermind working in the shadows. Now that he’s been reborn in another world, Cid has been hard at work building the perfect stage to act out his long-desired role.

The only issue? His imaginary adversaries and plot devices seem to actually exist in this new realm and he alone is left in the dark.
