Synopsis
of My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's
Oda
Akira is the kind of guy people forget is even there. However, his discreet
nature is rewarded when his entire class is swept into a fantasy world and he
easily adapts to his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously
high starting stats and too many details that don’t add up, Akira is sure
something is wrong. But delving into the secrets of royalty is a dangerous
game, and when Akira uncovers an evil plot, he also makes a powerful enemy: the
very king who brought him into this world! With the help of the elf medium
Amelia, can he find the power to set things right and get revenge?
