Michael set off with the intent of getting stronger for his own sake, and so that elementals can't bully him anymore. Maybe find some people too, so that he can make sure that they're at least around.
"Do people have good stats?"
He continued tormenting birds and only got levels from them, niether did he get any stats other than Agi but even that was minimal.
A loud screech can be heard from Michael as he used a skill he overlooked, Screech. He used it to incapacitate the birds, then eat or kill them.
Michael didn't feel like eating birds anymore since it made no difference than just killing them, he also conserved mana by killing the birds through biting them while they flew away from him.
He couldn't even find any other animals around, but there were just so many birds. He wondered how big this forest was too. He's been heading the same direction for a while and still hasn't seen the rest of the world.
He knew he could just fly up and see but was worried that another elemental might assault him again. As he wandered around, he encountered a pretty big boar. It saw Michael and charged him, but he just flew over it.
Michael was super bored so he just played with it for a while. He conjured a ball of fire the size of a human fist. He taunted the boar with it and as the mindless beast it was, it charged at the ball of fire.
"I'm feel like God messing with this dumbass!"
"You what now?"
"No I didn't m-"
Michael's wings were taken from him and he hit the ground, the boar looked at him and ate him whole.
"God I'm sorry, please give me my wings back." He pleaded in the boar's stomach.
"No, a God should be able to get out of a pig, shouldn't they?"
"But, I-"
"No buts, just get out of the pig first."
Michael's flame dispersed when he hit the ground, so he had no mana that he could use. He conjured many flames and fused them together and burned the boar inside out.
Michael hated the pain he went through when casting magic without mana, to him it was like stubbing your pinky toe, but 10 times worse.
Michael burned a whole right though the boar and he fell through it. The boar fell on its side and died immediately died after.

"That's nice. Can I have my wings back now?"
"No, now go eat the pig."
"It's not a piiiig, isss aaaaa booooooaaaaarrr."
"And I'm Gooooddddd. Now e-"
Michael passed out from mana exhaustion next to the boar and wakes up an hour later.
"You didn't eat it."
"I'll eat it now, but gimme my wings back."
"Fine... did you know I'm God."
"Yeah..."

The sun began to set but Michael wanted to keep gaining levels and thought about staying up all night to do so. It wasn't the first time he did that, so he had no problems with it.
Night came and the moonlight was bright enough for Michael to see where he was going in the forest. He made his way through but couldn't find anything, like literally nothing.
This went on for hours and he looked up at the moon and realized that it was already midnight. Michael gave up and called it a night, he flew up to a tree branch that was home to a birds nest.
He didn't feel like killing anymore birds so he let the mother fly away and pushed the babies off the nest. Luckily for the babies, they learned to fly before they hit the ground.
They flew with their mother and went into the night, Michael got comfortable in their nest and even learnt how to go into his shell. He slept like a baby and experienced his first night in another world.

Michael came out of his shell as the sun rose, he didn't feel like starting his day hey, so he stayed in the nest for a while more. While in his nest, he heard a loud roar that startled him.
He flew from his nest to go investigate the noise, as he got closer the roars got louder and but suddenly, they just stopped. Michael saw a green figure standing infront of a purple spotted bear that was double its size.
Michael hid in the trees and watched, he was hesitant to attack it but this elemental seemed different than the one that attacked him. This one was half it's size and green.
He tested it to see if it was weak to the only useful skill he had. He conjured a fire ball and burnt the elemental's leg with it. It shrieked and sprouted vines that it used to guard itself, the vines were being used like tails.
His assumption was correct that he had the element advantage. He had a plan to kill it by biting its head off but he wasn't sure if it would work since it was so basic. Still, he tried it.
The plan didn't work, even with Crunch it wasn't strong enough to get through it. Michael released his bite and caught himself with his wings. The elemntal began attacking him with it's vines, aiming for his wings.
Michael did his best to avoid the attacks but one of his wings got pierced and he was barely able to stay in the air but it managed to regenerate.
He was out of mana because of his little test earlier. He had no other option but to conjure more flames, he bared the stinging pain and used it to burn through the elemental's chest.
Michael thought he had won but it only slowed it down, he had to decapitate its head to put it down completely. The bear it had supposedly killed wasn't really dead because of its groans.
The bear opened it eyes but got greeted by a fireball from Michael and it finally died.

The elemental's assault tore Michael's wings apart, he used Blue Flames but he didn't have enough mana for it. The pain was even sharper and stung more.
The flames burned a bright blue and it spread all over the elemental's body pretty quickly. The elemental collapsed to the ground and Michael put away his flames, then went to eat it.
"So, I'm guessing that the more mana it costs, the more it hurts."
Michael was really exhausted and panted profusely. He ate it by trying to bite its head off, and still struggled to do so. Eventually he got through it and it was finally killed.

"Finally... I'm so fucking tired, but I gotta eat this..."
He ate it and immediately went for the purple spotted bear and ate it too. It tasted really bitter, probably because it was poisonous.
After Michael ate the bear, he was still tired and found another unoccupied birds nest to sleep in. He woke up an hour later.

"Why is my Int stat so low? Don't I get stat points per level or sumthin like that."
"No, you don't."
"Why not?"
"I dunno, gotta balance out the tournament or sumthin like that, I'm just God."
"What do these stats even do?"
"Int determines how fast you recover your mana and how strong your magic is, Agi is how fast you are but you don't get faster since your a turtle. Def provides resistance against physical damage and Str is your strength."
"Cool, Thanks."
"Yeah"
Michael continued to wander around and found a cave enterence. He made his way in and expected to find strong monsters to fight and level up.
But he found eyeballs with bat wings flying around. He used Vine Whips to protrude a vine from his tail and used it to kill one of those eyeball bats.

Michael used his new skill to see in the dark cave and traveled deeper. Michael encountered a pack of 6 horned wolves that charged him and one of which stabbed right through Michael and tossed him to a wall of the cave.
"Fuck! I think my heart stopped just now! But I'm used to it more or less."
He used all 4 of his vines and attacked the wolves, he targeted the first 4 wolves he saw and left them covered in hole and their blood on his vines.
The other wolves attempted to retreat but Michael caught up with his wings and killed the remaining 2.
