Great heroes and diabolical villains are the types of characters that people long to be—but not Cid Kagenou. He longs to become the true mastermind behind it all, pulling the strings, and having his machinations drive the entire story. In his previous life in modern-day Japan, he was not able to achieve his goals. But now, reborn into a world of magic, he will show the true eminence of shadow!... more>>

As Cid pretends to be just another average mob character, he recruits members to his (fake) organization Shadow Garden, aiming to take down the mysterious cult who lurks in the shadows. With plenty of ad-libs, Cid leads his (fake) organization against the foul (yet surprisingly real) Diabolos Cult. <<less

Loa is a bottom tier adventurer who is regarded by everyone as “incompetent”.... more>>

The only skill he possesses is [Create Item], which is the ability to create an item in exchange for your levels. Because of this skill, Lore is still weak for his level when compared to others.

However, Loa continued to raise his level without using the [Item Creation] ability in order to improve his ability as much as possible. He has been hunting low-level monsters such as slimes and goblins for a year.

When Loa finally reached Level 50, an extraordinary change happens to him. “[Item Creation] has evolved into [Magic Creation].”

The [Magic Creation] skill allows you to create a new magic in exchange for levels. The more levels you sacrifice, the more powerful magic you can create.

Furthermore, by using the [Item Creation] ability, you can supplement your status with powerful equipment, create high-value items, and it’s super convenient!

[Item creation] and [Magic creation] ──The two skills have a synergistic effect, and Loa achieves tremendous growth. <<less
