<Introduction
A boy who longed to become a "powerful man in the shadows" lost his life in the middle of his journey and was reborn in another world as Sid Kagenow.
In his new world, Cid decides to enjoy the "shadowy powerhouse" setting and plays the role of a shadow, someone who lurks in the shadows and hunts the shadows, and organizes the "Shadow Garden" against the Order of Darkness with a group of girls under his control with whom he has a good relationship.
It was all supposed to be a figment of his imagination ....... The "Diabolos cult", the dark side of the world, is real, and unbeknownst to Cid, the "Shadow Garden" is engaged in a war with the cult.
The next stage is a lawless city ruled by three forces: the "Blood Queen," the "Fox," and the "Tyrant. It is a world of the weak and the strong, infested with rogue elements.
When Cid is taken by his sister Claire to defeat the "Blood Queen," the ruler of the vampires, he is thrilled to have another opportunity to move the "powerful man behind the scenes. ......
The plot against the "Queen of Blood" is set in motion, and the outlawed city is a battleground for three forces. In addition, his sister Claire is also caught up in the mayhem, and Shadowgarden is acting on its own. In the midst of the chaos, Cid tries to act in the dark as a shadow without being noticed.
The red moon rises, and the time of awakening has arrived!
