Seven Seas Licenses Reborn as an Assassin's Apprentice Light Novel (Airship Imprint)

(October 15, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the light novel Reborn as an Assassin's Apprentice by okiuta and sinsora. Reborn into the Order of Assassins, one man must do everything he can to survive in this completely new world. An action-packed isekai about facing the strongest and staying alive–no matter the cost.

In my new world, life has no worth. Reborn as an apprentice under the Order of Assassins, an organization that takes on all manner of underhanded jobs, I'm prepared to do anything and everything to survive.

First, I have to get through their oppressive training, where failure equals death. My assassin-to-be rivals include a tigerborn whose strength eclipses my own, an elf who is a master of essence, and a dragonborn, their kind known as the mightiest of races. Isn't all that almost unfair?

Although death lurks around every corner, I swear I'll claw my way through this hell. Manipulating powerful foes and the adults around me, punishing those who stand in my way… If that makes me a monster, so be it.

There is nothing and no one I won't tear down for the sake of survival.

Not a shred of morality sees the light in this darkest of fantasies.

Reborn as an Assassin's Apprentice (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be released digitally-only for the first time in the English language in March 2026 as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint.
