Having discovered the secret left behind by his predecessor, JJ did not immediately reach for the ruby gem. He cautiously appraised the gem to learn that it was a relic, a true relic. This got JJ to become more cautious as relics had weird abilities beyond a card apprentice's imagination and strength. JJ did not want to fall prey to his predecessor's tricks. Based on what he had learned about his prodigal predecessor so far, he would not put it past him. JJ then proceeded to access the Royal family's records on various true relics known to the card apprentices, especially one that looked like a Ruby gem. Since his predecessor had it, he believed he would be able to find a record of it and so he did. The true relic left behind by his predecessor was called Ruby Vault.

[ Relic Name: Ruby Vault

Relic Effect: Ruby Vault allows the user to store everything from soul energy to rule power to mental strength to divinity to their ethereal spirit regardless of the time.

Learning that the true relic left behind by his predecessor would not harm him in any way, JJ returned to the fountain to collect the Rudy Vault. However, he could not remove it from the fountain regardless of the methods he tried. Knowing that his strength was not enough JJ pondered if he should recruit the help of someone strong and he could trust. But the Greed in JJ's heart for the true relic 'Ruby Vault' stopped him from doing so. Then he began to think of a different way to remove the ruby vault embedded in the fountain. JJ believed that since his predecessor had thought far enough to leave a cryptic message in the Royal family's historical records and enchant the fountain, he should have thought of a clever way to retrieve the ruby vault embedded in the fountain. That was when a thought crossed JJ's mind, that the ruby vault was a unclaimed true relic, he could just drop a drop of his blood on it to claim it turning it into his origin card. This was when JJ realized that maybe this was the only way to retrieve the ruby vault and there was no other way. Meaning it would make no difference even if he called the adults since his prodigal predecessor wanted whoever found it to either make the Ruby Vault their origin card or leave it for the other fated future generation. Now it was up to JJ to decide whether to take the Ruby Vault turning it into his origin card or leave it for some other fated one. JJ did not like the idea of turning the Ruby Vault into his origin card but he also knew that there must be a reason why his predecessor went through all this trouble to leave this true relic for the future generation. Torn between the choices JJ finally came to a decision. He decided to accept the Ruby Vault as his origin card. Yes, JJ had high hopes for his origin cards but he also did not want to miss out on whatever his prodigal predecessor had left behind in the Ruby Vault. In the end, his curiosity got the best of him thinking Ruby Vault would make a good origin card, he could do worse, he had seen card apprentices with a worse origin card. Consoling himself JJ dropped a drop of his blood on the Ruby Gem accepting the true relic Ruby Vault as his origin card. JJ did not regret his decision, he proceeded to check the info on his new origin card to find a surprise waiting for him. The ruby gem true relic that he believed to be the true relic 'Ruby Vault' wasn't it. Yes, to JJ's surprise, his origin card's name was something totally different than Ruby Vault. It was called, 'Record Vault.' [Card Name: Record Vault Card Type: Origin Card Card Rank: Unique Grade Card Rate: -/-

Reading the info of his origin card, JJ's face turned deadpan. The effects of the record vault were worse than the ruby vault. JJ would have preferred the ruby vault over the record vault. It was funny how times change. Earlier he did not want to have ruby vault as his origin card but now he was complaining why his origin card was not ruby vault but record vault. JJ wanted to cry but no tears came out from his eyes. A card apprentice's origin card not only gave them an edge over their opponents but also separated them from the common card apprentice. One card apprentice can only have two origin cards in a lifetime. Common card apprentices would worry about finding their fated ingredient in their limited lifespan, but JJ who had the potential to become a demigod worried about not getting a good origin card in his lifetime. To see his fear come true JJ was devastated and cussed his prodigal predecessor for this fate.
