The book was written by the king and should be given to all citizens for free.

He found a binding contract he would have to be Administrator of Stormfall:Age of War  for the rest of his days.

He realized, at the tender age of 9,  that this mesmerizing book was actually written by the ugliest ogre he'd ever seen.

It proved that those lowly creatures actually already mastered the art of language and happened to be more knowledgeable than him on many subjects.

He then decided, as a matter of pride, to imprison and eradicate them in concentration camps infamously known nowadays as "Balur", the very name of the book which hurt his sensitive ego as a child.

He saw a picture of Balur himself, whitch was the author of the book, an autobiography

you said he read the book from cover to cover so he already saw the first page lol

"Oberon returned home, read the book from cover to cover and was quite happy"

I read the book from cover to cover (but didn't read the first page).

To be a winner don't be a loser (336, -749)

ok here is an answer :

he saw 

"The book is based on a true story"

x: -1784 y:2185

maybe he found out there on that single page that his real father was the one and only Balur the true Dark King ???

On the first page with bloody letters was written:

'You will be a nuisance to me and my forces ... My shamans have seen your future and have discovered totems which can sicken all the heroes of Stormfall by spreading diseases! Be warned, Oberon. You can make one decision: Will you start a revolt against Balur where you and all your heroes will die, or do you rather die without any other 'innocent' souls?'

As soon as Oberon read the page with the horrific message, he'd see a little rope with a small bottle as necklace attached to the page. The bottle seemed to have green liquid in it, it reminded him of the poisonous wine he got a couple months ago and thus sent it to his sages, to see whether it was dangerous or not.

The end...?

On the 1st page of the book   ....

The maximum selling price was mentioned, The actual was price was way lesser than 10 sapphires  

and the buyer realized that he was duped ;)

on the first page was written : " this is the last book you'll ever read "

Oberon was horrified to see his own name mentioned on the first page.

He was the unnamed hero of the book "Balur" who saved the the realm of Stormfall . 

WW3 - 1955 , 1005 

He opened the first page slowly and looked upon it in shock for there were two futures on the page it said behold the two futures on can exist one can not. It up to you young Oberon you're choices will decide which future will come about. You're journey begins now choose wisely. Now he knew the book was written for him alone. So his journey begins in the far away land of Stormfall.

What he saw was a picture of Balur on the beach ... with crocs and a hawai shirt traumatized for life oberon closed the book

I've had a good laugh, thank you, my Lords and Ladies!

The winners this time are lords Sifr, JOHNNIE1UK, Ickinick27, lady Constantia and ARCANE781. 

I'd like to reward everyone in this thread, but there is a budget and my master of coin wouldn't appreciate it if I gave away that many Sapphires.

Thank you all, and follow this section of the forums to take part in the next contest!
