Akira Oda expects nothing from the ritual that drags his entire class into another world; his forgettable presence usually gets him overlooked, and it does again when the ceremony names a classmate the Hero. Cast instead as a covert Assassin, Akira finds his starting stats dwarf the Hero's by a wide margin, and digging into why turns up a conspiracy inside the kingdom that summoned them. Paired with Amelia, an elf princess exiled from her own country, he turns his invisibility to advantage and starts working the plot from the shadows.
