Author's Note by Nian:
Your movie writer here for the best movies in Terra here, I'm only here to clarify things about this book. One, "Why isn't there a "Male Reader" slapped on the Book titles"... Easy answer, it's repetitive to see I mean I get that a lot but maybe, it's best that we don't slap on to it. I mean, how many times have you seen the word "Male Reader" on every title. We're not going for "OP" or "Gamer" or something, just your uniquely standard book where "You" are the protagonist... Also Male Reader, obviously.

And secondly, it's a mere thing to say that we are exactly writing differently than other writers with Male Reader stories. We're writing this our way in our own ideas.

That is all for now, On to the read.

Deity Grypherburg, Ursus Empire, Time: Afternoon...

Several weeks ago...

At one of the rooftops of Deity Grypherburg, the capital city of Ursus. Lies upon two individuals on the roof, one being a young sarkaz boy and a half-lung, half-draco girl, both of whom have shared each other in their activities and conversation. The best of friends they were as both aren't even in the same class, the sarkaz lives in the middle class while the half-lung & half-draco lives in the upper class but they didn't bother anything about their troubles. Just casual talk with at least some things in and around.

Their conversations were about gifts and presents, one that is about building and reinforcing relationships to either a friend, relative or family. The two might have already passed that purpose, but there's gonna be another as the girl gives him a gift, a rectangular shaped present she made just for him.

You: "A gift, already?"

Talulah: "Yep, it's the 3rd time we're doing it. Got something for me?"

You: "Uhh... No, unfortunately. I was too occupied with helping Pyotr in moving his new furniture around, and didn't have time to think."

Talulah: "What a shame, but I'm okay with it... Go ahead, open it."

The Sarkaz neatly unwraps the present gifted by her, and upon opening it... He was surprised as to what she had.

A dagger modelled and designed with royalty & imperialism.

You: "A dagger?"

Talulah: "It's actually a letter opener, very sharp isn't it?"

Impressed by its design, the Sarkaz holds the handle of the dagger before inspecting its model.

You: "Where did you get this?"

Talulah: "Some merchant who was helping an old lady restocking in her antique store, I just so happened to pass by it while I was strolling the capital to get my mind off it. The dagger was one of the favourite possessions kept by Ursus' last emperor and according to him, it had only been rarely used to open letters. So much for royalty, it's only been kept as a collection instead."
