I would like to thank all the readers for their support and encouragement. Without your recognition and recommendations, this book would not have had a chance to climb the weekly leaderboard, let alone rank only below Guardian's Pendant, Demon Lord Cleric, and the magic-wielding Knight. I hereby express my gratitude! I hope you will continue to vote, attempting to push for a higher position—it's time to target the top recommendations! The story will continue to be exciting with your active voting. Dear readers, cast your votes!!
