What does a decade-long hero’s journey feel like… to an introvert? No one warned Adolin what the hero’s journey would entail.No privacy. No silence. Just party members that wouldn’t shut up. The journey ended with the Demon King’s castle in ruins. And instead of finally getting his peace… Adolin is reincarnated in another world, with the most exhausting people he has ever met. In the body of an orphan who died over his last bronze coin. He decided to treat his second life as a vacation and stay far away from his old party. That plan lasted less than a day. Now he’s broke, weak, with a mana pool so small he can barely feel it. Because in this world… healing magic belongs to the church. And Adolin just used it. - 1500-2500 word chapters- OP MC - A high-functioning introvert MC
