I was offered 100 million in fees for a single origin card creation.

Here I was planning different ways to milk Jaya Dry but she bombed my mind with hugeass digits.

100 million was a lot for me, even for Jaya but she was desperate enough to be willing to spend that exuberant amount of money.

This also said that the 100 million was not easy to take, as the condition was I would be paid only if I was successful.

I bet Jaya should have already consulted many renowned and powerful Card creationists for the creation of her origin card. I don't know why but something happened that I was her last choice for the creation of her origin card.

The more I thought about it the more I felt that Jaya was not telling me the complete story and she may even be lying to me.

What could make her so desperate enough to offer 100 million to a high schooler whom she just met to create her origin card?

I chose to ignore these thoughts as currently I had no option other than to help Jaya create an origin card.

"May I see your fate ingredient to get an idea of what I am dealing with here." I asked

"Here you go." Replied Jaya as she passed me a blue stone.

....

Jaya Keith an orphan, God may have taken one family from her but gave another in return, that is her sister Diana her only relative and family.

Jaya believed that even her birth parents would not have loved her as much as her sister did and never felt that she lacked a father or mother because of her sister Diana who fulfilled those roles excellently.

Jaya never thought about her parents or bothered to know who they were. She has very negligible feelings for them as she never met or knew them in person, as they were no more and all they left behind was a blue stone to remember them by.

She never felt an identity crisis like most orphans do, because she knew who she was, she was the younger sister of Diana Keith and the lone heiress of the Fine Gold empire.

Jaya had nothing to complain about the present life of hers and was satisfied with it until she contracted a grimoire and ascended to the Card student realm.

The blue stone, the last thing left for by her birth parents which she carried on her since her childhood, turned out to be her fate ingredient.

At first, Jaya thought nothing of it, she thought maybe her stronger emotional attachment to it turned it into her fate ingredient.

But when she consulted the Fine Gold card creationists to use the blue stone to create her origin card the company card creationists told her that her blue stone was no ordinary stone it contained a huge amount of soul power and they could not proceed with card creation until they knew what this stone was and what it was capable of.

Even though Jaya did not know who her parents were she always thought that they must be normal people with tragic fate. But finding that blue stone was no ordinary stone changed her opinion.

Jaya who did not care about her past or birth parents suddenly became curious about her past and her birth parents.

To quench her curiosity Jaya could only turn to one person, her sister Diana.

When questioned Diana did not hide anything respecting Jaya's decision she revealed everything she knew about Jaya's past.

She said that she did not know who Jaya's parents were and she found baby Jaya abandoned in a cleared B-rank field dungeon ground naked covered in dirt holding the blue stone.

It seems when Diana tried to take the blue stone baby Jaya would cry relentlessly. So she thought that the blue stone must be important to baby Jaya and let her keep it.

According to Diana seeing how baby Jaya was abandoned in a dungeon Jaya's birth parents may have fallen in the dungeon.

what puzzled them was why would any parent bring a three-year-old baby girl to the dungeon.

Getting no answers but more questions about her past Jaya who did not care about her origin now grew real curious about it.

Who were her parents? Why did they abandon her? Were they still alive? Was she left to die in a cleared B rank field dungeon?

Not just that ever since the blue stone became her fate ingredient Jaya always felt that a part of her was missing and it was calling to her from within the blue stone.

As time went by these feelings of missing a part of herself and calling from within the blue stone grew stronger within Jaya until it became unbearable and turned into agony.

Jaya started to suffer from insomnia and barely ever slept. she finally decided to turn the blue stone into an origin card no matter the cost.

But her sister thought it was not worth it because if the card creation failed then Jaya would permanently lose the missing part of her within the blue stone as the failure in card creation results in the destruction of the ingredients used for card creation.

Jaya had a different opinion as she would rather lose this part of hers than spend her life in agony unable to sleep and be haunted by the missing part in her nightmare.

When she went to the card creationist for the creation of the card they refused as they were threatened by Diana not to help Jaya in the card creation. Be it the company card creationist or the freelance card creationist they all refused to help Jaya.

When she heard Wyatt created an undead summon card with just a bone using the hypothesis of transferring the ram bull ability, a light bulb lit in Jaya's mind.

So Jaya did not hesitate to seduce Wyatt to help her create her Origin card using 100 million dollars.
