The story takes place in modern-day Japan, where a young boy aspires with dreams to become a sort of criminal mastermind ruling the world from the shadows, but whilst training for his dreams he gets hit by a truck and dies.
He is reincarnated as Cid Kagenou where he does everything he can to look as mediocre as possible in order to once again pursue his dreams of ruling the world from the shadows. One day he saves an elven girl from a mysterious illness and proclaims that the world is run by a group called the Cult of Diabolos and his own organization, the Shadow Garden. The elf girl joins him, but Cid doesn’t realize the cult of Diabolos is actually real!
