Chapter 0(Prologue): I Became the Guild Master Who Expels the Protagonist

Who is the most frightening enemy in the world?

Take a look at the cover~

Is it a maddeningly skilled strategist? A ruthless tyrant? Or perhaps a general with the intellect of a thousand? They are all enemies that send chills down your spine just by hearing about them.

Unfortunately, none of them are the answer to this problem.

There was an enemy who was as frightening as those three. That is, an incompetent ally. If they were just incompetent, it might be manageable, but when they are both incompetent and diligent, there is truly no answer.

Especially if the ally is someone in a high position. For example, a guild master who oversees the entire guild.

And surprisingly, there was a person who perfectly fit this proposition.

Isaac Silvert.

He was the guild master of the guild known as the Iron Shield, and he was also someone with strength befitting his position. However, despite his strength, he was highly regarded as very incompetent.

There were several reasons for this. The biggest reason was his excessive jealousy and his tendency to make shortsighted decisions. Especially since the leader of a faction should make as rational decisions as possible.

Isaac acted in exactly the opposite manner. He completely reshaped the guild according to his own preferences and expelled everyone who opposed him. Even the protagonist was not an exception.

[But Zeke has devoted a long time to the guild! How can you just throw him out like trash?!]

[He is suspected of colluding with another guild. How can we leave a traitor in the organization?]

[What about the evidence?]

[We are currently investigating.]

He surrounded himself with people who only told him what he wanted to hear and ruthlessly cut off those who gave him bitter advice. It was only natural that the Iron Shield, which he led, would fall into ruin.

[Master! This request is too dangerous!]

[Shut up! Are you disregarding me as well?!]

[That’s not it. I’m just saying we should think a bit more carefully………….]

[Zeke, that guy handled it alone! We’re the majority!]

Isaac, who was jealous of the achievements Zeke had amassed, caused numerous failures. Eventually, while recklessly pursuing a request to subdue monsters, the guild was annihilated, and he himself was corrupted into a monster.

[I haven’t forgiven you, but I pity your life.]

[Who are you to pity me?!]

……

..?!

[In the end, you were nothing more than a puppet used.]

[Why do I have to die?! What did I do wrong?!]

Until the very end, Isaac never realized what he had done wrong. It was so bad that even the protagonist had set aside his desire for revenge and felt pity for him. He was just that foolish.

But that’s exactly me.

I got thoroughly caught up in the clichéd plot of being reincarnated into a novel. The trigger was absurd. I received it with joy, thinking it was a reward given to the best reader.

So, this is the reward?

I understood perfectly.

In cases like this, the standard approach is to use as much of the original knowledge as possible to avoid an unfortunate future, but I had no intention of being satisfied with just that.

Just like a man who draws a sword must cut something with it.

I was reincarnated, and I wasn’t going to be satisfied with just that.

Of course, I had no intention of remaining a foolish guild master as in the original. But since things have turned out this way, I’m going to set up a very intense concept and run the guild.

How dare they throw shit at me?

I’ll show them what happens when you make a concept nerd angry.
