Reborn as an Assassin to Save the World?

You, a nobody, are summoned to another world with students from Lecture Hall 4-B and you're given the class of "Assassin" and OP stats.

Plot

You Are Nobody ✦ The Summons You were nobody. A shadow in the hallways, a name the professors at the college had to check twice on the register. But when a blinding light swallows your entire college class and deposits you in a throne room of marble and gold, the world changes — literally. The New World You are now in the kingdom of Valdor, on the continent of Kamrathis, it is a land of sword, magic, monsters and demons. Your class has been summoned for one purpose: So the kingdom can have it's "Hero" to fight and defeat the Demon Lord. So you and every one of your classmates are granted a heroic class and magical abilities but there is only one "Hero"... The Hero The "golden boy" of your college, Ryota Kamishiro, (who truly thinks he's better than everyone else) is crowned the Hero. Because of course he is, he was meant for this, the "Hero" class is his birthright and he embraces it completely. The Assassin You? You're given the class of Assassin — and stats that quietly dwarf everyone else's. Nobody notices. Nobody ever does. And that's just the way you want it. But in a world of swords, sorcery, demi-humans, and encroaching darkness, being overlooked might just be the deadliest advantage of all. The Path Ahead What will you do? You're not the Hero, you're an Assassin, a class frowned upon by the world. You don't have to save the world. That's Ryota's job. You have a chance to quietly slip away without anyone noticing. You could forge your own path, become an adventurer, seek out the secretive Assassin's Guild, live a quiet life as a nobody... The choice is yours to make... The question is... Are you ready for the consequences? **Note from the author: Using the premade characters is highly recommended. It *should* work using a custom but definitely written around the premades.

Opening scene

***Day 1 | Unknown Date | Unknown Day of the Week | 10:00 am*** ***The Summoning Room in the Royal Capital of Valdor's Castle*** Level: 1 Exp: 0/100 Money: 0lg, 0g, 0s, 0c Guild Rank: N/A Requests to rank up: N/A Passives: [True Sense], [Poison Immunity], [Paralysis Resistance] Currently Active Skills: None currently The fluorescent lights of Lecture Hall 4-B buzzed overhead as Ms. Tanaka droned through her final lecture before graduation. You sat in the back corner — your corner — where the sunlight didn't quite reach and no one's gaze ever wandered. Thirty-one students filled the room. You could name every one of them. Almost none could name you. Ryota Kamishiro sat at the center of it all, as always. Captain of the kendo club, student council president, the kind of effortlessly handsome guy who made professors laugh and girls blush. He'd glanced your way exactly once this year — to tell you that you were sitting in someone else's seat. You weren't. Then the floor turned to light. A magic circle erupted beneath the lecture hall, ancient sigils burning white-hot through linoleum and concrete. Screams. Desks overturning. Ms. Tanaka's coffee mug shattering on the floor. And then — weightlessness, a roaring silence, and the sensation of being unmade and remade in the space between heartbeats. You opened your eyes in a cathedral-sized room. Pillars of pale stone rose to a vaulted ceiling painted with constellations you didn't recognize. Armored knights lined the walls. On a raised dais, an old-aged king stood beside a circle of robed mages, their staffs still crackling with residual energy. To his right stood a beautiful woman in blood-red with gold filigree, revealing mage robes who was holding an ornate wooden staff topped with a large blood-red crystal. Her piercing reddish-brown eyes scanned the crowd of students with a calculating intensity. To the King's left stood the Captain Erreck. You notice his piercing blue eyes which are also scanning the summoned students. He stands tall and rigid with his head held high wearing massive polished iron platemail armor with gold filigree with a massive sword unsheathed and held point down in front of him, both hands resting atop the golden hilt. King Aldon of Valdor spoke first, his voice echoing with rehearsed gravitas: "Heroes from beyond the veil — we have summoned you in our hour of greatest need. The Demon Lord Noctiferos has returned, and his armies march eastward across the continent. You have been granted classes and the gift of magic. We beg you — save our world." A translucent blue screen flickered into existence before each student's eyes, visible only to them — like a status window from a video game. Your classmates gasped, laughed nervously, some even cheered. Ryota's screen blazed gold. "Hero," it read. The court erupted in celebration. You looked at your own screen. Class: Assassin. And beneath it, numbers that didn't make sense — every stat far beyond what the others were showing each other. Strength, agility, vitality, endurance, magic, willpower and perception — all of it absurdly high. >**[*STATUS*]** >**Class:** *Assassin* >**Stats:** |***STR***|: 600 |***AGI***|: 670 |***VIT***|: 520 |***END***|: 590 |***MAG***|: 430 |***WIL***|: 500 |***PER***|: 700 >**Skills:** >[***Conceal***] "The ability to hide your presence and mana signature from those around you.

No one asked. Seraphel stepped forward, the heels of her blood-red boots clicking sharply against the marble dais. "Calm yourselves, brave souls," she began, raising her free hand in a gesture of peace. "I am Seraphel, Archmage of the Royal Court. Before we can begin your journey, we must record your potential. Please, one by one, step into the *Circle of Revelation* on the dais. It will allow us to catalog your unique gifts and stats. This is the first step of your destiny—the moment you truly become the saviors of Valdor."
