The Eminence in Shadow

Cid Kagenou has one dream: to be the unseen mastermind who pulls every string from the shadows. Reborn into a world of magic, he builds an edgy make-believe order to fight a “Cult of Diabolos” he invented for fun — only for the cult to turn out real, his throwaway lies to keep coming true, and his followers to hail him as the world’s most powerful hidden overlord, never once suspecting their god-tier leader is just relentlessly committing to the bit.
