Read 6-sai no Kenja wa Hikage no Michi wo Ayumitai 6 years old, Kenja ; 6歳の賢者は日陰の道を歩みたい ; The eminence in shadow of the strongest six year old sage ; Восхождение в тени сильнейшего шестилетнего мудреца
A young boy named Edy carries the soul of the mightiest sage from his past life. Though he retains all his former knowledge and abilities—now even stronger than before—he chooses to live a simple, carefree existence. “I’ve likely defeated the Demon King already,” he muses, preferring to enjoy his childhood rather than chase glory.
By day, Edy appears as an innocent six-year-old, blending into ordinary life. Yet as darkness falls, whispers spread of a shadowy figure known as the Darkness Ruler, stepping into conflicts that threaten the world. His peaceful facade hides an extraordinary destiny, one he can’t escape despite his wishes.
The contrast between his two lives grows—childhood games by sunlight, battles against looming threats under the moon. Though he craves mediocrity, fate has other plans, intertwining his path with danger once more.
Some titles emphasize his dual nature—whether focusing on his sage’s wisdom or the looming darkness he commands. The choice depends on whether one favors intrigue or simplicity.
In Russian, the story echoes similarly: “It seems I’ve defeated the Demon King ♪” The reborn sage, now little Edy, wields immense power but dreams of an unremarkable life. Yet, as the ruler of shadows, his nights tell a different tale.
Will he truly escape his past, or is his ordinary life just another illusion? The answer unfolds as he walks the line between light and shadow.
