Michael spent most of his time looking at the snow outside and reading the names in his transformation list and laughed at the weird ones that he saw, he did this sitting down facing the display window.
"Black Beast, Niger. Not too sure if racism exists in this world."
"Owo, Big Ting John, that's a very creative name."
Those were apparently the only funny names Michael could find, so to pass the time he slept for around 33 minutes facing the display window. He awoke to the rumbling from the ground shaking, apparently, this didn't wake up Nick who was still sleeping peacefully.
Michael moves in his sleep so he had to turn around to look outside the display window. He just saw snow covering it and attempted to open the door, he turns the knob and pushes the door open without much strength but manages to smoothly move the snow alongside the door.
He didn't know that there was snow above him, and it fell through the door and onto his head, Michael lit himself on fire and flew up through the 180-inch (15 feet) thick snow with his bird wings.
Michael flies above the snow and looks at the battle between a Primordial Water Elemental and one of Earth occurring in the skies. He just sees a blue shining light and a brown one crashing into each other.
A Primordial Elemental is the final evolution of the three stages a normal Elemental and is followed by the second stage which is called a True Elemental.
Michael didn't really know how to stop this, so he just watched them fight while the earthquakes continued. Their fight soon came to an end after a bone-shaking clash, the brown light slowly faded away and the earthquakes stopped.
The blue light flew away and the snow stopped coming down, Michael lets it leave because he wouldn't be able to kill or stop it. He went into Nick's Forge to check up on Nick but he was still sleeping, to pass more time Michael melted away the remaining snow in the area, after doing that he noticed very wide and deep cracks along the ground.
They were from the earthquake caused by the Primordial Earth Elemental, Michael uses his Deus' Control skill to close it up. It has been 50 minutes total since Nick went to sleep, he still didn't wake up yet, Michael was considering the idea of killing him to get his skills.
In the end, Michael gets impatient and kills Nick. Michael stabbed Nick's chest with his vines, and Michael did this while in the shop.
"Sorry, you know what I'm gonna say it. I don't care that you broke your elbow."

Michael moved on to the next thing he could reforge.
"Armour of Obsidian."

* Pure Gold Bars x10
* Obsidian Shards x50
Insufficient Materials.
"Okay, this is a bit more manageable."
Michael still didn't know where to find or get any of the items so he checked his map to see if there was anywhere else to go, plus he wasn't ready to go back into Mt. Bellum.
He was thinking of going to another town to ask about where to get the materials from. He settled on a town that was closer than the others, it was called Provectus.
Michael also wanted to transform into Nick because in his past life Nick looked a lot like he did. It took Michael a while to find Nick in the list, but he did in time.
“Nicholas White” Michael found him at the bottom of the list and assumed it was him because it was the closest to his name.
Michael was right to pick this name because it was Nick but with armour, The armour Michael had on Liz adjusted itself to match Michael’s new form. Michael wondered what would happen if he were to become an animal.
”Black Beasts, Niger. It's okay for me to say it, I was always black.”
The armour hid, but its bonuses were still active. Michael took the form of a large, black dire wolf with a blue line starting from the tip of its tail that separates into two and lead to its blank white eyes.
"Arr, rororo." That's Michael trying to speak as a wolf.
“I’m not a black boy anymore... oh I forgot, I can’t speak as animals."
Michael felt more comfortable as a wolf so he stayed like this for the rest of the day, he was barely able to fit in the shop and broke through the display window to get out.
At the time people were coming outside to see the aftermath of the battle, but all they saw was a large wolf jump out a window. People began to scream in terror, so Michael hurriedly ran out of the town and headed to the next one.
He went through a forest as a shortcut and ran through several trees in the process, Michael wasn’t fazed in any way by the trees and broke them with ease.
He stopped when he saw the town entrance and noticed 2 guards protecting the entrance, he turned back into Nick while in the forest behind a large tree, after he walked out the forest and approached the guards in standard armour.
“Entry Fee”
“How much?”
“10 copper coins.”
“Here’s a silver.”
The guard took the silver coin and handed Michael 90 copper coins in a brown pouch.
“Thank You.”
Michael takes the pouch and walks into the town. He doesn't know where to go so he went to the building closest to the entrance. The building he walked into was very large and white, it kinda looked like the White House.
He's greeted by the female receptionist wearing white at the front desk.
"Hello welcome to the Adept Adventurers guild." She said with a smile.
Michael looks at her and smiles back along with a "Thank You" and asked where he could find the materials.
"Yes there are a few quests that could provide you with those materials, or you can trade in your Guild Coins for them."
"Well, do I have to be a member to gain these privileges?"
"Yes, you just have to sign this membership contract."
"Sure."
Michael used Nick's initials to sign it, after signing it a white circle appeared on the left side of Michael's chest with the initials A.A in it.
"Looks like it worked successfully, now you can participate in the quests pinned on the Quest Board."
"Thank you."
"How come I didn't see this on Liz's body, hmm."
"Oh wait, where can I trade in my Guild Coins?"
"Yeah, just go up the stairs, and it should be there."
"Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day."
"You too."
"She cute, I can't lie."
Michael made his way to the Quest Board and looked around, and assumed it was a holiday or something because there was no one there besides the receptionists.
Michael saw the image of a dragon on a request and read its description.
Slay the Drakewing terrorizing the nearby towns.
Reward: 250 Gold and 1,000 Guild Coins
The location will be shown on the map provided once the quest has been accepted.
"How is this supposed to work with my minimap"
Michae garbs the request paper and takes it to the receptionist.
"Hello again, I chose a quest."
"Sure but aren't you new to adventuring, well I assume based on your equipment."
"Na I could do it, by the way, what's your name."
"Just call me Luna." She said as she looked for the map in a desk drawer.
"That's a pretty name."
"Thank you, and here's the map.
"Thanks, bye."
Michael left the guild with his map in hand with the intent of slaying the Drakewing.
"Wow, there was a lot of thanks going on back there."
