When Akira's class is magically summoned to another world, he and his classmates are awarded fantastical powers-but while one of them is lucky enough to become a true Hero, Akira becomes a mere Assassin. However, against all odds, the Assassin just might be the most powerful role of all Harboring doubts about the intentions of the king, Akira uses his newfound strength as a master of the shadows to uncover the secrets and conspiracies of the crown.

THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE CUTS OPEN A PATH TO THE FUTURE!Akira was summoned to a world of swords and sorcery along with his entire high school class, where they obtained fantastical powers beyond their wildest dreams. But not all was as it seemed. After being betrayed by the king who summoned them, Akira is on the run, framed for the death of his dear friend and marked for elimination. Now, after several adventures, Akira and his elven companion Amelia have arrived on the continent of Brute, the home of the beastfolk. It's also the home of the world's greatest blacksmith, and in order to repair his jet-black katana, Akira will need to secure his aid. It won't be easy--hidden dangers lie ahead, including the toughest adversaries Akira's faced so far!

SWORD IN HANDDemons run amok in the beastfolk port town of Ur. Amelia scrambles to evacuate the residents, but the demon Aurum abducts her.

With Night at his side, he sets out for the deepest level of the labyrinth. On their way, they encounter the first princess of Uruk, the largest beastfolk country. She too seeks Amelia, so they join forces, but will it be enough to take down such a fearsome foe?
