Chapter 4 ( What am I supposed to do with a dead egg?!)?)

As the bear took its sweet time approaching me, I had a little time to rethink my life and to be honest, I was disappointed.

Who wanted to be average? Who wanted to be forgotten?

Not me, but that's exactly what I was in my first life. Maybe I could have blamed it on not having any talent or the poor situation I started my life in.

But that wouldn't be the truth.

The truth was just like now I gave up, I never fought back or tried my hardest in any situation, I just took whatever was the easiest to get, and here I am in my second life accepting death without fighting back.

'I AM PATHETIC.' I thought to myself.

'NO, I WAS PATHETIC, BUT I REFUSE TO BE IN THIS LIFE, I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED, MY NAME IMMORTALIZED IN HISTORY, GOOD OR BAD I JUST WANT TO BE REMEMBERED!!!!'

In hindsight, my little revelation should have happened earlier. Now it was far too late, while I was deep in my thoughts the bear had finally launched it finally attack aiming right for my neck, and its horrid breath filled my nostrils.

The scene reminded me of my encounter with the dig earlier, the only difference being the bear smelt better, and even if I turned to fire to avoid its first attack it would die like the dog.

It would be burned badly but still very much alive, and I would be unconscious waiting for death, the only way I was Surviving this is by using the power of the Mera-Mera to attack.

I remembered the information I got when I woke up the first time, to use the Mera-Mera's power I just needed to will it strongly enough.

As I watched as the bear came closer and closer, an overwhelming need to survive appeared.

I didn't want to die.

' I want to live!!!' I shouted in my mind.

And with it, orange flames appeared burning from every part of my body as the intensity increased, and quickly rushed forward completely consuming the cave and the bear.

BOOM!!!!!!

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The cave shook from the explosion, as the flames busted out.

All I felt was my strength leaving me as I collapsed to the ground once again I was unconscious.

< Hours later>

"Ahhhh!!"

I was in pain. My whole body felt sore as I opened my eyes and looked around to find myself in a crater.

As I looked around, I realized the cave was still stable as only small pieces of the roof of the cave were falling.

As I was there unable to move, a thought came to my mind, why don't I stay in this cave for a couple of years?

At least until I become stronger, enough to really protect myself, after all, I killed the owner, so it was now empty.

It seemed like the best choice, I really didn't know how I would survive in the world of humans right now, I would surely die in a matter of weeks, so it truly made more sense to stay here until I could use my powers well and maybe even change my modern mentality a bit to adjust to this world.

With nothing left to do, but wait until I recovered a little strength. I stared at the roof of the cave and took in the revelation I went through hours ago.

I wanted to live a better life, something that wasn't average and forgettable, and to that end, I needed to start making decisions with that in mind, hence the decision to stay here for a few years.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do after those years were done, but it didn't matter right now I needed to focus on getting stronger.

The hours passed and soon I was able to move my limbs as I moved my left hand I felt it brush up and something, and I felt something like a connection form.

Curiosity got the better of me as I used the little energy I had just gotten back to get up and look at what it was.

As I did I saw a deep black object stick out of the ground, still not sure what it was, I started digging around it trying to get it out.

As I did my hands rubbed against it it felt like it was covered in scales.

It didn't take too long to dig it out and then I saw it fully.

A completely jet-black dragon egg, it seemed to be about twice as big as the ones shown in the show, but all the same, I was sure it was dead.

But the feeling of the connection between it and me was still there and impossible to ignore.

The whole situation brought one question to my mind.

'What am I supposed to do with a dead egg?'
