The series first appeared on the user-generated novel publishing website Shousetsuka ni Narou in January 2017. In November 2017, Japanese publisher Overlap began releasing a print edition under its Overlap Bunko imprint, featuring illustrations by Tozai. To date, four volumes have been published in Japan. Additionally, a manga adaptation by Hiroyuki Gogamo is serialized on the web manga site Comic Gardo, with the latest six tankōbon volumes.

Seven Seas Entertainment describes the series as follows:

Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don’t fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
