The Eminence in Shadow is about a boy who was reincarnated to a magical world. Cid Kagenou is not concerned of playing as a hero or a villain in this world. He instead wants to be the mastermind of it all, using the strings to create the story. He wanted to feel the power of being the man behind the scenes. Pretending to be an average mob character, he created a fake organization, Shadow Garden. It is meant to go after a cult, which Cid thought of it as a joke. Until he discovered that a dark cult really exists, the Diabolos Cult.
