Chapter 1664: Text bubbles
Skipping breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he noticed that he was teleported away, but resumed his alert state just as quickly. As a member of the Fierce Bone race, he excelled both in defense and offense because he had a strong body. Yet that also meant he lacked the diversity of other races that cultivated spiritual energy and could use external techniques.
Normally that wasn't such a big deal, but outnumbered against a bunch of enemies who somehow also countered his system was… it wasn't easy, that's for sure.
The problem was… he didn't know where he was, or how safe this place was. He studied his surroundings and discovered that he was within a courtyard, with no other being in sight. Skipping pulled out a compass, but instead of pointing north, the arrow kept rotating round and round, making him frown.
"In some sealed location probably," he muttered to himself. "Possibly in another realm altogether."
He then pulled out a number of other gadgets, each to check how dangerous his immediate vicinity was. Within the building he did not detect any other being, though some were spotted outside. There weren't any poisonous gases, nor were there any kind of hypnotic tools targeting him. It seemed that he was safe, for now.
Skipping sighed in relief, but didn't rush to exit. Instead, he started pulling out more and more unusual items - things that no one would ordinarily even be able to see, let alone use.
Then he began to arrange a protective formation within his courtyard, not even going to the rest of the building let alone investigating outside.
He had no idea where he was, and despite his system notification telling him it was some place called Obsidian and that he had an invitation to join, Skipping had no interest in testing the waters just yet.

Once he had essentially turned the courtyard into a safety bunker, he finally felt comfortable enough to open his system interface. His Amazon Customer system was unusual, and it only had one function.
