The light coming from the sun seemed to dim as a dimensional rift opened up in front of Thomas.The objects that were once inside his head slowly emerged from inside of the rift.After all of the equipment left the rift it slowly disappeared, leaving behind several floating objects.With such an eye-catching appearance it seemed like this system would be unable to be used in public.This is nothing like the simple popping in and out of existence style of retrieving/storing equipment from/to a pocket dimension.

Putting on the equipment took a long time as Thomas had never worn armor before.The chainmail vest, helmet and gauntlet were simple to get on but tightening the leather strap on the pauldron with one hand was a challenge.The boots had to be completely adjusted for his size which required loosening the laces and that ended up taking him another few minutes.By the time he was done getting all of the gear on his adrenaline wore off and he could feel that his muscles were sore and needed a break.If he ended up getting into a fight now then he'd definitely be defeated since he could barely move.Not bothering to take off the armor he spent a while getting on, Thomas sat down against the wall near the stairs in a position that allowed him to see the entrance and slowly drifted off to sleep.
