Introduction

My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's brings a unique spin on the overpowered isekai genre, focusing on a quiet protagonist who is summoned to a new world, only to find that his stealthy, assassin-like skills outmatch the so-called hero.


Story Overview

The story follows Akira, an ordinary high schooler summoned alongside his class to a fantasy world to become heroes. But unlike his classmates, Akira is assigned the job of "Assassin" and cast aside. Little do they know, this class possesses hidden potential far beyond the chosen Hero’s. Akira begins his solo journey filled with quests, monster battles, and political intrigue as he uncovers the world's dark secrets.
