The Door Of Darkness Is Cast Open – The World Advances To A New Field

The specter of war hangs thick in the air of the Oriana Kingdom, where Princess Rose is expected to wed Duke Perv. This supposed marriage cannot and will not stand, though, as it would throw a major wrench in a certain shadowbroker’s plans. Not one to miss an opportunity for sleuthing, Cid makes his way to the royal capital to put a stop to the ceremony, but are there even bigger schemes at work behind this unholy matrimony?

I honestly can't remember what catalyzed this desire.

All I know is I've admired shadow brokers for as long as I can remember.

Was it a certain anime? Or was it a manga - or a movie?

Eh, I guess it doesn't matter. I was all in for anything that featured a mastermind, or an eminence in shadow, as I like to call them. These characters were never the protagonists or final bosses but were relegated to a role behind the scenes where they flaunted their powers and meddled in the affairs of others. I've always looked up to the men in the shadows.

I wanted to be one of them.

Think of children who worship their favourite superheroes.

That was me but with master puppeteers.

In the depths of the Sanctuary, where ancient memories of mighty warriors slumber, Shadow Garden lays bare the long-hidden truth behind the demon Diablos and the hero Olivier - all very critical plot information that Cid pays zero attention to because it's time for the semiannual Bushin Festival! Playing the part of a weak-looking guy who's actually super-strong is Cid's raison d'etre, and where better to strut his stuff than a tournament are?

Zeta of the Seven Shadows sets off to investigate, while Cid and Alexia embark for Claire’s room where they find… An ancient script, cool magic circles, and incantations that seem important and yet don’t actually do anything whatsoever. What does it all mean, and why has Claire been talking to herself so much lately…?

All eyes are on the Bushin Festival as the totally enigmatic Mundane Mann advances toward the finals, winning all his matches in an instant. Just who could this mysterious knight (who is certainly not mild-mannered Cid Kagenou in disguise) possibly be? However, beneath the festivities, a dark drama unfolds as Princess Rose goes on the run following her assault on her fiancé! Was the sordid affair simply a prenuptial argument gone too far, or is something more wicked afoot?

A troubled wind is blowing - Mitsugoshi's new innovations have put them in the sights of entrenched business interests,  and the filthy quagmire of shady underworld schemes is escalating to all out economic warfare! Naturally, there's no way Cid would ignore something that cool-sounding! If it looks like the girls are getting in over their heads, he'll just have to step in and betray them to save the day - not as mild-mannered Cid or the grim and mysterious Shadow, but as Super Elite Agent John Smith, he who destroys all and rebuilds it anew...!

After years of the Mitsugoshi group quietly using Cid's Shadow Wisdom to reshape the world from behind the scenes, the time has finally come to pay the piper. The quagmire of a credit collapse threatens Shadow Garden and the Cult of Diablos alike in an economic disaster orchestrated by one man - Super Elite Agent John Smith!

Weaving a web of betrayal from threads of chaos laid throughout the market, Cid finally succeeds in entangling his enemy, but in the wake of his treachery, will things ever be the same between him and the girls...?

Upon arriving at the Oriana Kingdom, Cid is blindsided by the news that Princess Rose is set to wed Duke Perv! This unexpected plot twist throws a major wrench in Cid's future plans - after all, the brighter the light, the darker the shadow, and Cid had been counting on Rose to illuminate the world for him. It seems like it's be a good idea to crash the party and get the deets about what's going on, but are there even bigger schemes at work behind this unholy matrimony?
