REGAL RIFT

**𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲**

Interviewer: "Welcome, dear author of Regal Rift. Let’s get straight to it, why did you decide to write a book?"

SHINGIN: "Well, I was first just a reader here, enjoying other people's stories, until I decided to create my own. I wanted to share this masterpiece of mine."

Interviewer: "You call that a masterpiece? It’s trash."

SHINGIN: "...I walked into that one."

Interviewer: "Second question, how did you create this book? What inspired you? I mean... if you have inspiration?"

SHINGIN: "It all came from my creative imagination. The ideas wouldn’t leave me alone, so I had to write them down."

Interviewer: "It would’ve been great for the world if you’d just ignored them."

SHINGIN: "...Thanks for your support."

Interviewer: "Third question, why haven’t you joined any writing competitions? You scared of the judges?"

SHINGIN: "I’m not that confident yet. Besides, my book needs a lot of revision before I put it out there."

Interviewer: "Don’t revise it. Save yourself the embarrassment and us the pain."

SHINGIN: "You’re really committed to this, huh?"

Interviewer: "Fourth question, why are you so hard on Prince Lyxander? You’re always making his life miserable. Poor guy."

SHINGIN: "I’m trying to shatter his naive ideals. Growth comes from struggle, you know."

Interviewer: "You’re just a sadistic author, admit it."

SHINGIN: "Okay, maybe a little."

Interviewer: "Fifth question, who’s your favorite character in the book? Don’t say something ridiculous."

SHINGIN: "Master Ellias. He’s kind, intelligent, and..."

Interviewer: "Boring. You’re such a weird author."

SHINGIN: "...Thanks?"

Interviewer: "Sixth question, are you actually planning to publish a sequel? Please say no."

SHINGIN: "Yes, I’m working on book two. It’s going to be more intense and darker than the first."

Interviewer: "No. Please. Stop. Writing."

SHINGIN: "I refuse!"

Interviewer: "Seventh question, why didn’t you reveal Rhys’s backstory in book one? I hate you for that, by the way."

SHINGIN: "I’m saving it for book two. It’ll be worth the wait."

Interviewer: "I still hate you for doing that."

SHINGIN: "Mission accomplished."

Interviewer: "Eighth question, what would you like to say to your readers? You know, the poor souls who actually finished the book?"

SHINGIN: "Thank you all for reading and supporting me. You’re amazing, and I couldn’t have done this without you!"

Interviewer: "Dear readers, please don’t support this idiot anymore."

SHINGIN: "...Wow, you’re brutal."

Interviewer: "Ninth question, what would you say to your silent readers?"

SHINGIN: "Thank you as well! You’re cool and mysterious, and I appreciate you."

Interviewer: "Silent readers, please stay silent forever. And stop wasting your time."

SHINGIN: "You really woke up and chose violence today."

Interviewer: "Final question, what happened at the end of the book? Why doesn’t anyone remember Prince Lyxander? Spill the tea."

SHINGIN: "That’s a secret."

Interviewer: "..."

SHINGIN: "..."

Interviewer: "Secret, huh?" [Throws microphone at you.] "Don’t come back here, idiot!"

SHINGIN: "Thank you for having me! See you at book two’s launch!" [Dodges and flees.]
