Managing Their Hatching
(The MC who's story was not dropped)
April Fools Post 2016
Spoiler :
After getting so many critical reviews, and nasty comments (breaks down and starts crying) I just can’t take it anymore so I have made up my mind, I have decided to stop writing forever! And soon I am also planning to take down all my prior chapters, so they can’t hurt the eyes of the readers on royal road anymore!
As a not so fond farewell to all you haters I have written in these spoilers a long rant about what I really think of all of you!
(Warning: includes hate, more hate and many snobbish and obscene curses)
Spoiler :
April Fools! I love you guys!
(Even the haters)
A Spoiler of the next real chapter:
It actually wasn’t that hard to set up the mental net again after all my underlings- (excuse me) er young friends and my siblings hatched, no that was the easy part.
However it was not long after the hatching first started I realized what I had done in some ways could be considered a mistake.
You see when normal and natural young dragons hatch their brains are empty and they are full of innocence, thus they o rely 100% on instinct, there is indeed something to be said for not thinking of all.
But what I did was basically fill the minds of my siblings and friends up with various knowledge, while I did not give them everything I could have, there is still no denying that in the end I did take away a bit of their innocence, or naïve that they should have had.
For example if they were the empty little dear infants they should have been, they would have never known fear, and thus they wouldn’t have been at all pained by the experience of hatching.
For my strong minded brother and a few of his compatriots, after losing their instincts temporarily due to shock and having a small and understandable amount of panicking they quickly recovered and were able to focus so completely on hatching.
If there is anybody curious on what would have happened if I had continued to write, I will be posting the rough draft of what the next chapter would have been:

P.S. just before I decided to retire from writing I had been thinking of starting another fanfic, and because I hate for all my hard work to go to waste I will be posting the chapters I have for it, for one day and one day only. RMHS. Just a warning this fic is the worst of my work to date so unless you want your eyes to start bleeding right before you
start puking all over the place, there is only one solution DON’T READ IT!!
The end and goodbye!
FOREVER!!
P. P. S. Don’t you readers even think of coming crawling back to me when you realize just how good of thing you had
(sniff, sniff)
Author Notes:
Spoiler :
For those of you who did not read the spoiler yesterday I am sorry if that caused you any distress...as you can see I am not really dropping my writing.
Though in my opinion it should have been obvious that it was an April Fools joke, after all at the very least one should take everything online on April 1st with a large grain of salt.
Actually originally my April Fools post was just going to be about the rough-rough draft page picture.
The joke was that: "I am so tired of working hard for my readers, that I decided to be lazy and give them the first draft to read, and if they want a better chapter they had better edit it/write one themselves"
However some of the comments I read put me in a bad mood and so, a few months ago in 2015 I started to plan out a new and meaner version of April Foolery.
To the people I wanted to target: It would serve them right if they believed it for a second. As to those who were innocent of ever making me angry? Well wasn't the first day of the fourth month always full of victims anyway? Besides it was only some words, and it would only be up for around 24 hours they would survive.
P.S. One part of the joke wasn't a joke I wonder if you guys can figure it out and if you will even care when you do ;)
Okay at least 4 chapters in April maybe 5 if I am lucky, not to mention the artwork and the coupons I still have to make do you think I am up to the challenge?
FP: Maybe...
AA: nope
You have chosen the class advancement of the [Projective] path of your [Empath] class.
Your Projective Skills have evolved. They are no longer classified under [Empath’s Tools] but instead now fall under the purview of the skill [Projective’s Implements] included in which, are the following sub-skills:
[Mental Manipulation]
[Emotional Influence]
[Free Will Override]…
All Projective aligned skills are more powerful.
It is now much easier and energy wise cost effective to use [Empath] related skills, especially [Projective] related ones.
You have received a large boost in states to the following stats:
+Emotion
+Willpower
+Spirit
+Leadership
You have received a new stat:
+Mental Resistance
Due to your class advancement and other factors you have developed two potentially detrimental traits:
[Insensitivity] and [Emotional Detachment]
Depending on your future choices these traits may lessen or increase in severity.
These traits have various effects, it is recommended that you see their database articles for more information.
It actually wasn’t that hard to set up the mental net again after all my underlings- (excuse me) er young friends and my siblings hatched, no that was the easy part.
It was not long after the hatching first started, that it was really driven home to me that what I had done, in some ways could be considered a mistake.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
You see when normal and natural young dragons hatch, their brains are empty and they are full of innocence, thus they basically rely 100% on instinct. And there is indeed something to be said for not thinking of anything at all, for not having to consciously choose hatching is an easy though admittingly wearying thing.
But what I did was basically fill the minds of my siblings and friends up with various knowledge, while I did not give them everything I could have, there is still no denying that in the end I did take away quite a bit of their innocence, or natural protective naïve that they should have had.
For example if they were the empty little dear infants they should have been, they probably would have never known fear, and thus they wouldn’t have been at all pained by the experience of hatching.
For my strong minded brother and a few of his compatriots, after losing their instincts temporarily due to shock and having a small and understandable amount of panicking they quickly recovered and were able to focus so completely on hatching.
However for the majority of the now hatching dragonlings it was sadly quite a different story.
Their panicking could not be said to be of a small degree, and many were in danger of if not going into catatonic shock then even worse, moving their bodies because of that panic and potentially injuring themselves.
I was quite glad as well as relieved to discover that my choice on my path was not a bad one, at least in this situation, for I quickly figured out how to control the emotions of those that were a danger to themselves and force them to calm down, and because of the choice I had made this was quite easy to do especially when I compared it to the last time I tried to interfere with others emotions.
Not only in the power but also in the scale, and especially on the details and control I now had over this ability. I was also very calm, calm to the point that I supposed others might call it strange, it allowed me to take my actions efficiently and without any pressure so I didn’t think on it much other than to quickly formulate the likely theory that it probably was caused by those traits the windows mentioned earlier.
After making another mental note to remember to read those articles which I had yet to read in depth, I continued control a good majority of all the dragonling minds, however I would like to now take the time to point out that I only ‘grabbed hold’ of those minds that were truly in danger.
Those that were ‘merely’ panicking and looked like they had the power to calm themselves down, as well as those who like my brother were strong enough on their own mentally to shake of the panic by themselves I left alone.
I am not completely sure why, but I had a certain feeling or perhaps should I say instinct? That using my powers in such a way, while not exactly damaging was certainly not good for the ones inflicted by them.
More simply put, I somehow felt that it would somehow be more beneficial for them to overcome this obstacle by themselves.
However I continued to carefully monitor their minds status and the moment I felt one take a major downturn I would quickly and near instantly move to take full control of them to prevent them from accidentally harming themselves.
After my brother hatched, I was able, with his permission, to take his memories of his hatching and carefully show or in some cases directly implant them in some of the dragonlings that were the worst off. Upon receiving it, most of them no longer needed my control and were even able to start hatching again on their own.
I continued to monitor all the minds of the still unhatched, the newly hatched, and the hatching, taking control or implanting memories when needed or also merely observing.
Surprisingly my brother was more of an exception than the rule for not all of the dragonlings that were strong in other ways were also strong of mind. Or at least strong at mental resistance.
In particular the sister that I referred to as Peeper, took her hatching pretty rough. It was so bad that I think if I was only a bit slower in taking control…that I may have had lost her.
But after thought, it isn’t as surprising as it may have seemed for Peeper in particular was one of the few of my dragonling group that had access to information comparable to myself had I been unable to read the status database. To support this correlation a majority of the other ‘seers’ also had a hard time with their hatching.
Like I said earlier setting up the mental net’s connection to dragonlings on the outside was the easy part as well as the most satisfying, in some ways. For me at least, because to my happy surprise one of my many theories about the next had been proven true.
It created in a large loophole in the many hidden limitations I had been experiencing (presumably because of my unhatched state). Basically I found that so long as I focused my mind through one of theirs, I could not only experience the outside more thoroughly through their minds I could also use them as a conduit and though it was untested I was confident that I could perform various magic, that I could only dream of before (and I mean that literally).
Testing my new freedom over magic would have been the first thing I did after discovering it, however there were still a few dragonlings that were being a little slow in their hatching and out of obligation and possibly caring I decided to wait until all my dragonlings were hatched and healthy before allowing myself the leeway to focus on assuring myself if it would be a permanent effect as well as satisfying my curiosity.
It was situations like these which made me tempted to see if I could force myself into learning the skill, [Mental Split].
I had been quite excited when I first read about that skill during my browsing through the status database, however a little further research later and I found myself quite disappointed.
It seemed that unfortunately my chosen class [Empath] and my class advancement choice of [Empath: (Projective)] in particular were a really uncomplimentary combination. It seems those of my class choosing that skill would often find themselves developing not only split minds but split personalities as well.
That wouldn’t seem that bad, but the article then went on to say that such unnatural personalities were likely to be very unstable. Instability could lead to at the very least insanity, and terrifyingly enough one closer to the worst case side of the scale, one of the more horrid possibilities was that one of the personalities develop to the point that they surpass being personality and become an entirely different person.
And this new person was also highly likely to be if not insane then prone to corruption and evil. It was likely that it would keep information from the other personality(s), to the point it would seem like you were experiencing memory loss, during which you had no control over your actions.
And thus to the control loving me, my dream of having more than one ‘me’ of which to do things with was completely given up on. Also multi-tasking, though useful was a bad idea for the same reasons.
