Spoiler :

Welcome to the offical start of the RCF birthday party (unenthusiastic yay). As those of you who read the spoiler section of chapter 27 should be aware of this party will be over on the 31st, after which we will no longer be celebrating...and we will go back to having only 1 chapter a month.

(ducks and hides from the boos and hisses and I don't cares)

Anyway despite the rare opportunity I am handing you reader guys, surprisingly (or maybe not that surprisingly) not that many of you seem to care, about the b-day contest despite the fact that I am giving exactly what a lot of you said you wanted.

(that is among other things; input into where this story will go/how fast it will take to get there.)

Back to the news on this and the next few chapters...basically I am going to be making a whole lot of you unhappy...sorry/that's too bad. This is because though it is back to MC POV they 'sarcastic gasp' don't hatch and possibly some info dumps are also involved.

As to the theory that the reason why I am doing it this way being because I want to show you exactly why I switched POV's because MC is not at an interesting point at the moment...well who knows?

I do in fact have a chapter of brother's hatching mostly written...as well as some ideas for what will happen to him in the near future...but sadly MC's hatching looks to be a long way off...

Maybe the reason why I am being so slow is because I started college again but on the other hand...maybe...maybe the reason why I am not writing is because I am lying on the ground wounded and bleeding my heart torn to shreds by all the...mean nasty(?) comments and reviews I have been receiving!

JBADQ (just being a drama queen)

Though I don't deny that some of them did hurt, even the ones that did aren't enough to stop me from writing, it is not like I am writing for the praise anyway. But...don't worry I shall have my revenge ...you won't know when, you won't know how and maybe you won't even know why...but I will have my revenge muhahaha!!

The Class I have Chosen

(Back to the one called the MC by the author)

My deepest desire in regards to classes has always been that I become a swordsman. No other weapon or way of fighting has ever called out so greatly to me in the way that the sword does. In my past life I could even remember from my earliest memories picking up wooden sticks and waving them about pretending they were swords.

My ability in magic was mainly due to my natural talent, which had primarily resulted from a desire for knowledge rather than a desire for magic in and of itself. In the beginning as much as I hate to admit this I had practically no natural talent for the sword. Unlike with magic, my abilities and skill in sword play were all completely as a result of my hard work.  

This is something that I feel even now, in my new existence, that it is something I can be proud of. And despite being in a ‘new life’, I don’t think my desires in regards to swords have changed, in fact they have even gotten stronger. In fact if I hadn’t had that timely breakthrough in my ability to travel through and manipulate things in the dream realm. I probably would have lost to my temptations and would have hatched out a long time ago.

How well I shall do with a blade in reality, I probably wouldn’t find out for quite some time. First not only would I have to hatch but I would also need to figure out the method to transform into human form. The former was inevitable despite my excessive amount of delays, the later did not seem impossible especially now as royalty I could practice magic .

without any fear of reprisal. (Somewhat oddly I slightly am disappointed in this as I used such trials as training and now I would have to search them out an action that is a bit contrary to my nature.)

I have not talked about it much but there are laws, though unclear to me what the exact content of these laws are, nonetheless these laws have greatly limited my actions. I call them laws for they seem to be so. You can do this but not that. You can do up to so much with this, but not that.

I myself didn’t find out about these laws for quite some time as I had never felt the desire to do anything big. But when once out of curiosity I tried to effect the outside world on a grand major scale that made my childish prank with the mountains look like hot cakes in comparison to my great shock I found I couldn’t.

Not ‘it seemed too hard for me to do it’ couldn’t do it but actually clear no nonsense ‘it’s completely impossible’ couldn’t do it. There went my fantasies of completely destroying the enemy dragons without a trace…that had run through my mind…once. Well more than once but they were enough of a threat now and had been quite the enemy before that I could be quite excused for my feelings right?

It also probably sheds new light on the strange though not completely unfamiliar instincts which had been egging on my paranoia to stay hidden, and not show myself to anyone unless we have already ‘met’ in this life.  

Well this whole discussion was moot point anyway when I learned the truth that I had not known before. For a short time I couldn’t believe it, but soon I had to accept it. And I put my dreams and desires completely out of my mind. As I now knew what I could do was a lot more limited then what I had thought I had to find out how things really were. So after quite a few experiments I was able to figure out my limits.

It turns out though I could be a real help to my siblings, in the real world perhaps even be able to save them from most dangers. If enemies appeared that were of a certain level…there was nothing I could do. So frustrating! What’s more the laws which limited me were probably unique to my situation. Thus it was possible that my decision was the wrong one, perhaps things would have been better had I hatched if not immediately then maybe after my first rank up?

Well it was much too late now, I had made my decision and I was sticking to it. what’s more I had no way of knowing if it was being in egg that was limiting me, but just in case I decided that if my siblings or family encountered any major situation I would hatch regardless of how much potential time I had left.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

You see I eventually found out, that dragon eggs (at least those of my species) could spend a maximum of 100 years in the egg without any problems. There were methods to spend even longer amounts of time but if I chose those I would lose conscious and enter a deep sleep for thousands of years.

And even for this me, with my strange new comprehension of time, while a few hundred years might be acceptable, thousands would be unbearable especially since I wouldn’t be able to contact my brother during that amount of time. While it was possible due to our race for him to survive that long it was also quite unlikely especially with the war going on.

So I had accepted the limit of 100 years and after discovering it I decided to make my siblings and followers train even more, I also developed the mental connections in order to optimize my ability to interfere with the outside world. Even if I could not directly do major things with my magic at the very least I could easily convey information and information is in and of itself a kind of power.

Despite all the preparations and plans, I still felt most uneasy and eventually I pinned down the majority of the reason for my unease, I did not like having no class. Though I never found out officially, in my old life a friend of mine who possessed some sort of observer skill once told me that my class had been ‘villager’, he had looked a bit peeved for some reason, and wouldn’t tell me anything further, but it wasn’t that hard to find out more.

It seems that in Alfdorn, those of lesser nobility and below except perhaps hero families were limited to one class. I deduce, from the information that the demon lord gave me that it is probable that this limitation among other reasons probably came about because of the choices of the royalty.

This was somewhat confirmed when I saw the royalty change in the outside world, soon many people even of the ‘lower’ class were able to change their class, have more than one class, and sometimes one would even become as strong as someone from a hero family.

Even without royalty limiting such things, in general humans, for their whole life usually can only have a max of 3 jobs and around 2 or so sub jobs. Only for certain kinds of heroes or other exceptions was it possible for them to have more.

Where am I going with this? Well such a limitation is not the case for dragons and other higher class monsters, even if currently it seems most of them are not taking advantage of it.  Basically so long as your level is high enough there doesn’t seem to be any real limitations in the amount of classes’ subclasses and jobs you can have.

Of course there is the obvious fact that if you dedicate yourself to too many things at the same time you may end up many times weaker than if you had only focused on one or two. However in my option if you have almost unlimited time then why not?

Other than swordsmanship I planned to eventually try out many skills and the classes that potentially empower them. However I would have never of thought of ‘Empath’ being one of them, but I had to keep in mind several things.

First of all was the fact that the reason I had lost control of myself in the past were because of my Empath related skills. When I had come to myself afterwards I had been terrified. I had always prided myself in control and had always taken said control for granted. Then I felt what it was like not to have any and it unsettled me greatly.

If I didn’t choose the Empath class I would still possess that skill, however I would have little hope of controlling it. If I hatched before I had such a skill theoretically I probably would have been fine and my emotions would have settled into if not similar levels of when I was a human then at least much more stable ones. Unfortunately this was not the case.

Second of all rather than just gaining a bit of control wouldn’t it be better if I could turn this weakness into a strength?  All people seemed to have emotions and things that didn’t usually had no intelligence either. If I could learn to use these gifts wisely I could have a trump card that would be effective on almost all of my enemies that had the potential to do me harm.

I could also then, continue my incubation a bit more securely as I had found and then verified through testing that although similar my Empath gifts seemed to fall under a different category then the ‘magic’ that the invisible ‘laws’ prevented. In other words I could use them to the fullest.

So after a lot more deliberation I decided to accept ‘Empath’ as one of my classes.
