Bab 122: Apache, the Alchemy Madwoman

The library contained at least a thousand books, and to make matters worse, the spines of all the books were blank.

This meant that if someone without the *Insight* skill came in, they would have to pull out each book to see the title. And here was the kicker: once a book was pulled from the shelf, it had to be read for 10 minutes before it could be put back. This was basically the equivalent of forced video ads on streaming websites!

Moreover, there was another hidden catch to this quest: all the book titles and texts were written in undead language. To understand them, players needed a translation tool. Without it, they would have to sign a basic contract with the undead, essentially "borrowing" the knowledge from them.
