One of the privileges I gained upon becoming a Dragon God was access to the Library of the Seven Steps. If you're curious about the name, let me explain the significance behind it.
The world I inhabit is known by various names among its diverse species, but the most commonly used term is "Gremin."
Within Gremin, many species coexist, but the most prominent among them are the seven great species:
1. Dragons
2. Giants
3. Elves
4. Dwarves
5. Humans
6. Demons
7. Demihumans (who come in many subtypes)
Monsters are not included in this esteemed group; they lack the intelligence and organization to form their own kingdoms and thus do not possess the authority to claim greatness.
This distinction forms the basis for the library's name, the Seven Steps. However, dragons are a proud species and are reluctant to acknowledge the contributions of others, no matter how close the bonds may be.
As I delved deeper into my research on how to retain my powers, the origins of the library and the rationale behind its name nagged at me. I resolved to uncover the truth about who created this library and why it bore the title "Seven Steps."
