Sinopsis of The Eminence in Shadow
For as long as he can remember, Minoru
Kageno has been obsessed with becoming as strong as possible, which has led him
to undergo all kinds of rigorous training. However, this desire is not born
from the desire to be recognized by others, but rather Minoru does his best to
blend in with the crowd. So, while during the day he pretends to be an ordinary
student, at night he arms himself with a crowbar and mercilessly beats up the
local biker gangs. However, when Minoru suffers a truck accident, his ambitions
seem to suddenly end. In his final moments, he laments his helplessness: no
matter how hard he trained, there was nothing he could do to overcome his human
limitations.
But instead of dying, Minoru awakens as
Cid, the second son of the noble Kagenou family, in another world where magic
is commonplace. With the power he so desired finally within his reach, he calls
himself “Shadow” and founds Shadow Garden: a group whose sole purpose is to
combat the enigmatic Cult of Devils, an organization born from Cid's imagination.
However, as Shadow Garden grows in both membership and influence, it becomes
increasingly apparent that the Devil Cult is not as fictional as Cid intended.
