He asks for no reward and is never even thanked, because he disappears before anyone can voice their gratitude, erasing every trace that he was ever there. Naturally, all sorts of wild rumors swirl about who he really is. His true identity is Phil Salemabart, eldest son of Count Salemabart and, by reputation, the most dissolute, womanizing wastrel in the realm — a 'Trash' noble who wants only to be left in peace with his comfortable, debauched life. Then one morning he wakes to find the whole capital whispering that Phil Salemabart is the Hero of Shadows. Rather than come clean, Phil resolves to cover it up with everything he has. But the harder he tries to bury the secret, the tighter it closes in: a priestess of the church, a marquis's daughter he once rescued, the church's Holy Maidens, and even the Second Princess of the Lilac Kingdom all begin circling the 'Hero of Shadows' — and, through him, Phil himself. ## Chapters (28) [All chapters →](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/chapters) ## Main characters [Full Wiki →](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki) [Phil Salemabart The debauched eldest son of Count Salemabart — and, in secret, the legendary [Hero of Shadows].](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/phil-salemabart) [Kahlua Phil's personal maid — the person closest to him, who keeps his household and his secret running.](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/kahlua) [Milis A priestess and one of the church's four Holy Maidens, at a turning point in her life when she meets Phil.](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/milis) [Nicola The Second Princess of the Lilac Kingdom, who seeks out the Hero of Shadows.](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/nicola) [Alicia Amethyst The only daughter of the Amethyst Marquis family, rescued by the Hero of Shadows.](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/alicia-amethyst) [Zan Salemabart Phil's younger brother, second son of Count Salemabart — mocking and rivalrous.](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows/wiki/zan-salemabart) ### Age rating 16+ ### Translation Gadgetized Panda Translations Translation progress 20% ### Original [Syosetu Read the raw (JA)](https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6174hn/) ### Other names - I'm No Hero in the Shadows! - Ore wa Kage no Eiyuu ja Arimasen! ### Available in [English](https://ranobeki.com/en/series/no-hero-of-the-shadows) Original: JA.
