About the Story
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Matsuri Akai and illustrated by Tozai. Originally serialized as a web novel in 2017, the series was later picked up by Overlap Bunko. Both the light novel and its manga adaptation are licensed in English by Seven Seas Entertainment.
The story follows Oda Akira, a seemingly forgettable high schooler who, along with his classmates, is transported to a fantasy world. While others are assigned traditional heroic roles, Akira is given the mysterious role of an assassin. With abnormally high stats and a knack for moving in the shadows, he quickly realizes something is amiss.
As he investigates, Akira stumbles upon a dark royal conspiracy and earns the wrath of the very king who summoned him. With the aid of Amelia, an elven spirit medium, Akira sets out on a path of vengeance and survival.
