As I search the room for anything of value, I notice a small alcove at the back of the temple. Inside, there's a pedestal with an ornate chest on it. I approach cautiously, half-expecting another trap, but nothing happens as I open the chest. Inside, I find several items:
1. physical resistance Amulet: Increases resistance to physicals attacks in 3.
2. Potion of Greater Healing: Instantly restores a large amount of health.
3. Map Fragment: Shows part of the war zone with several marked locations.
These items could be incredibly useful. I put the amulet around my neck, feeling a faint warmth spread through my body as it activates. The potion and map fragment go into my pack for later use. With my spoils secured, I make my way out of the temple, feeling more confident and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.

With my new level, I assigned the free points as usual. Now it was time to figure out how much physical damage is reduced with a resistance of 3. To test this, I used my survival knife and tried to cut my finger. Nothing happened, so I applied more strength and managed to make a small cut. Clearly, it caused less damage.
To get more information, I used the information function of the store and found a guide titled **"Work of the Resistance 17C."**
It wasn't expensive and seemed useful, so I bought it.

**[THE FUNCTION OF RESISTANCE IS SIMILAR TO HARDNESS. IT REDUCES THE DAMAGE YOUR BODY RECEIVES FROM A SPECIFIC TYPE OF DAMAGE. THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE REDUCED WORKS WITH HARDNESS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE A FIRE RESISTANCE OF 2 AND A HARDNESS OF 6, AND YOU RECEIVE FIRE DAMAGE, IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE A HARDNESS OF 8.
RESISTANCE COMPLEMENTS HARDNESS, BUT IN SOME CASES, IT CAN BE BETTER. FOR EXAMPLE, SOME ATTACKS, TALENTS, AND OBJECTS IGNORE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HARDNESS, BUT NOT RESISTANCE.]
With this explanation, I felt happy. More defense is always a good thing. I checked the other two items, but there wasn't much time to examine them because I remembered that this place was an unknown zone with potential dangers. I took everything and started heading back to my hiding place.
As I exited the lair, I noticed the forest was eerily quiet. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows through the trees. As I walked, I couldn't help but think about the map fragment and what secrets it might reveal. There could be more places with objects that cost hundreds or even thousands of coins in the store. New adventures await, and with my growing skills and strength, I'm ready to face them head-on to make my dream a reality.
