In his fifth year as a corporate drone, unable to keep up with the rat race, he decisively gives up trying.
Unlike those who can't keep competing but can't bring themselves to lie flat, either, he switches gears as smoothly as a hot knife through butter.
No chasing promotions, no sucking up to the boss, no caring about his coworkers' petty schemes.
Staying up late, binge-watching shows, and getting obsessed with fictional characters.
Then he transmigrates to another world, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Though he has the appearance of a game character,
he has no legal identity.
And the worst part? The game is West Cowboy.
In this world, where those with high magic become mages and those with low magic become swordsmen, he isn't even the legendary "Magic: 0." His attributes don't even have a magic stat!
By a twist of fate, he ends up in the Temple and becomes a reserve knight.
As for his game's cheat, besides letting him view people's stats, it only comes with a program that can check their affection for him.
That's how he discovers his immediate superior is all smiles to his face, but actually can't stand him.
Him: Whatever. It's all fine. I don't care.
He remains firmly committed to his plan to give up trying, even in another world.
And yet, he eventually becomes a Paladin.

As a Paladin, he sometimes wonders why giving up trying still gets him such good results.
His lover, who is also his superior, asks in surprise, "So when you said you were giving up, you meant working hard, being honest and impartial, and treating everyone with love and equality?"
No bad habits. Doing the work that falls within his responsibilities. Treating everyone with kindness and warmth. Not judging by appearances, and never scheming for his own benefit.
He perfectly meets the eight standards of a Paladin: humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, and restraint of the soul.
-
The First Paladin, possessed of an utterly unreasonable special constitution: immunity to magic.
Yet this unusual constitution obscures all the effort Sunlight has put in, leading most people to believe that his constitution is what made him great.
But there are always people with a discerning eye.
