Chapter 10: Return to the Inn

After days spent exploring the temple's mysteries, I returned to the inn to rest and gather my thoughts. I wanted to better understand my new skills and how to best utilize them in the fight against the evil lurking at every turn.

In the quiet room of the inn, I sat at the table and spread out the scrolls of voodoo secrets I had acquired. I browsed through the pages, trying to discover more about shadow manipulation and the art of Puppet Mastery.

Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, another signal came on my internal screen. "You have acquired a new skill: Mental Resilience." It was like another awakening, another step on my path to power. Now I could better control my psyche, protecting myself from psychic attacks and manipulation.

With new skills in my arsenal, I felt stronger and more confident. I knew that the time had come to face the next challenges that lay ahead. I rose with determination, clasping my faithful sword in my hands. Now, more than ever, I was ready for what the future would bring.
