The story

The short version. Hidden Identity, 15 episodes on SagaBox. Arthur was King of Camelot, leader of the Round Table, and rose to War God — defeating every demon and standing one step from the throne of the gods.

Arthur was King of Camelot, leader of the Round Table. He drew the sacred blade, rose to War God, defeated every demon in hell, and stood one step from the throne of the gods.

Now he lives as an ordinary man. He hides the strength he was never meant to keep, and the only thing that matters to him is keeping his mute wife Shirley safe. When a gambler turns up demanding her hidden savings, Arthur hits him without a second thought — and remembers who he used to be.

The gods feared his growing power and betrayed him. But Arthur had already signed a pact with the god of fate, so instead of losing everything he was given an escape: a body that looks exactly like his own, dropped into modern-day New York.

Who carries it

Arthur and Shirley carry the opening arc.

Arthur

The War God now an ordinary man

Dark-haired, once King of Camelot and leader of the Round Table. After the gods betrayed him, the god of fate gave him a matching body and a quiet mortal life in New York. He says he'll earn money on his own and wants nothing as long as Shirley is safe.

Shirley

The mute wife

Mute and apron-clad, the quiet center of Arthur's small flat. He vows to keep her safe in their ordinary life, and every time he protects her you remember he once drew the sacred blade.

Our notes

Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.

WebShorts notes · on the hook

The god-among-mortals contrast is immediate — the War God of Camelot arguing rent in a New York flat, hiding power behind ordinary life.

WebShorts notes · on the lead

Arthur is written as a gentle husband first: he comforts Shirley and hides his strength. The old power surfaces only when she is threatened.

Best for viewers who want a short fallen-king urban romance with a protective, gentle lead. The Camelot-to-New-York contrast is the whole appeal. At 15 episodes it's a compact wish-fulfillment arc.
