A Shut-in's True Power

[THIS NOVEL HAS BEEN DROPPED. READ ONLY IF YOU'RE FINE WITH QUITTING HALFWAY. Also don't buy the last 2 chapters. They're just drafts filled with random gibberish.] There was once a man who focused his entire life on "self-improvement". He learned each and every life skill anyone could think of. From cooking to swordsmanship. From cleaning to martial arts. His sole purpose in living was to perfect every life skill he could learn. To him, the more complicated a skill is to learn, the more satisfaction he finds in perfecting it. He developed his knowledge, his strength and his spirit. As time passed, his obsession only grew. He started ignoring the world around him and locked himself in his house to improve his "writing" skill, turning himself into what we call a shut-in. With no one who could intervene, he ended up overworking himself to death. However, his way of life amused a particular goddess. As such, for her own future amusement, she offered him to reincarnate in another world. The man's answer to this offer? Obviously he agreed! In a fantasy world with a new instrument called "magic", The man taking the identity of "Dusk Nightmoon" hopes to find the joy of learning even more interesting and complicated skills. However will he be able to remain as indifferent to the outside world as he was in his previous life? or will the people of this world and the dangers within, influence him to change as a person? Find out in this novel which is a mixture of fantasy, comedy and action! DISCLAIMER: This is my first novel, so I can't make any promises about it being good. I am also only doing this for fun. Still though feel free to point out any mistakes! (while being as respectful as possible or I'll get depressed) Cover art was also not created by me. I used an ai app to generate it.

An expected blunder.(1)

"A wise choice, befitting of your race," Dusk said in his deep voice as he took the hand of the Elf girl and helped her stand up.

Maintaining this voice was a bit of a pain as he needed to use mana to change the pitch. But regardless, he managed to achieve satisfying results in creating a mysterious and powerful image of himself. Aside from the careless mistake he made in forgetting to switch personas...

"My name is Eruca Elleth. It's a pleasure to be working with you. I will try to provide what you need from me as long as you hold your end of the deal." the Elf girl introduced herself with confidence.

"I ask you to call me 'Reaper'. Now let us take care of this unsightly hindrance..."

Dusk cut the shackles on Eruca's leg that chained her to the Cell. All it took was one swift slash from his black sword.

After taking care of that he started to escort her out of the Cell. But he was stopped before he could turn toward the exit.
