Cid doesn’t want to be a flashy hero or a dastardly villain. He wants to operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society with wit and cleverness. So, when he’s isekai’d to another world, he gleefully spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult, which he totally made up. Except he didn’t; not exactly. Little does he know the cult is real, and they’re not happy that his power fantasy just impeded their plan to obtain real power!?
In the follow up to season 1 (HiIDIVE's most streamed title of all time), the story picks up with everything going according to plan, but the hour of awakening draws near. Cid Kagenou and Shadow Garden investigate the Lawless City, a cesspool where the red moon hangs low in the sky and three powerful monarchs rule the streets. The true draw for Cid, however, is one who can draw blood–the Blood Queen, a vampire who has slumbered in her coffin for eons. Her awakening approaches, and Cid could finally face a day of reckoning.
