Fwuuullp!

'The dragon blew it's flames, I was running to a safe alley, I would have lived and everyone should have died. A diversion I am very willing to take. Then why did I not take that chance? Why am I standing before the flames like a badass brave idiot? I am a coward this isn't what cowards do, is it?'

"You have got to be kidding me!" Hex gasped deeply in astonishment.

"Impossible!"

"That kid is rivaling dragon fire!"

"Arrrccchhkkk!"

Yes, this was how Hex found everything. Just when he was about to escape, his legs turned back, and ran in front of the fierce flames.

He stretched out one hand and surprisingly as the beam of fire came close to him, it shattered into a thousand rays of harmless flickering lights.

'I think I am starting to get the difference between the old life and the new.'

Hex lowered his hands to his sides and stared at the dragon, who was as shocked as the crowd.

"Save us, child!"

"Don't let us die!"

Hex developed his most faked somber expression. He was afraid but, for once, understood exactly what he was doing.

"In this life, I am the opposite of a coward, I am a supposed cowardly hero."

Hex's ash hair suddenly began to flow in the air, an enormous amount of energy rushing his system, his body blazing purple, and his purple eyes sporting a furious expression.

Raaayyyaaacck!!!

The dragon shrieked opening it's mouth even wider and charging up another beam in it.

Whhooooolllp!

It blasted the flaring ball of flames down at Hex again this time the flames looked much bigger.

"Small fry!" Hex waved his hand at the beam as it neared him swiping it away and dispersing it into hundreds of light as if it was nothing. This was also to his astonishment.

"Did he just call a dragon, a small fry?"

"This kid is a divine being!"

"He can swipe dragon fire like it is nothing?"

A sly smirk played across Hex's face. "Come at me snake face."

'Unlike my previous life, I have become a legend! I am sure I can defeat a dragon.'

Enraged the dragon swooped it's head down to eat Hex.

Fwooom!

Hex launched up dodging the attack and leaving the dragon to bite hard to the floor raising a cloud of dust.

The dragon shrilled flaring even more in rage, never in it's centuries had a human ridiculed it like that.

"Hehehehehe! You bastards aren't as tough as you claim to be!" Hex joked landing yards away on his feet. He was faster and much stronger. 'This is revenge time!'

(Yards: 3 feet)

Hex streched forward his two hands mustering all the strange energy he felt to them.

He wasn't sure why he felt it would work but somehow his instinct made it feel right.

The dragon shifted it's gaze back to Hex again wielding its mouth wide open, in it charging a large beam of flames.

An uneasy sensation pervaded the atmosphere. Whatever beam Hex was charging had a mysterious vibe.

"Die!!!"

The dragon launches a massive ball of flame down at Hex, who responds with a purple streak of energy.

BOOOOM!!!!!!

The purple streak of energy tore through the flames, striking the dragon square in the face and smashing its head.

Splosh! Bussshhhk!

The dragon dropped to the floor in a pool of blood, bits of flesh dropping from its carcass like raindrops.

Hex's face brightened with satisfaction. "In this world, I have become stronger than a dragon, I have a feeling things will play out differently."

{Absorbed mana core}

{Reward: Star powers have fully been unlocked}

'So killing a dragon gives me this much, I am baffled.' Hex watched the notifications pop up one after the other, taking into consideration every single information.
