I Am the Only Male Protagonist in Another World

To my four thoroughly unlikeable teammates:

I have all three qualities a protagonist needs: a brilliant mind, a strong body, and a handsome face.

I transmigrated to another world and activated a System, so I have all the objective advantages, too.

So who stole the life of a protagonist that should have been mine?

You, the tiny mage who covets my place as the protagonist;

You, the saint whose mind is as rotten as her body;

You, the lovesick succubus who does nothing but cause trouble;

And you, the Grim Reaper who wears a scowl all day long.

Stop getting in the way of my destined path to greatness!

I’m leaving you behind to pursue the future that belongs to me.

I hope you’ll be proud to have been my teammates.

“Lorne, I knew you wouldn’t abandon us.”

“Uh, no, I meant every word.”
