“Thank you, Cus. I never thought that my scrap metal fate ingredient could be created into such a great card.” Ronnie thanked me again and again.

Having read the card info he equipped the 10,000 armed Butcher origin card and activated partial summon – Mech Tool Arms skill. He summoned a mechanical robot arm on his back which functioned as a normal arm but was stronger and sturdier than any normal card student arm could be. After de-summoning it, he then summoned another mech arm, this time around the mech arm was carrying a butcher knife. He could summon a mech tool arm anywhere within the 10m range surrounding him.

“Don’t thank me so fast, I did not just pour millions of dollars worth of ingredients and create such a great card for you just to get your thanks. From now to death you are going to work as my exclusive monster meat processing plant. Do not worry you will also be compensated appropriately for your labour.” I kept it straight with Ronnie so that he does not misunderstand me pouring millions of dollars in his card creation as an act of kindness or whatever his little mind could comprehend it as.

“What? I did not sign up to become your slave.” Exclaimed Ronnie

“Then pay me 10 soul jades in total for the ingredients used in the creation of your origin card and the fee for my services as a card creationist or return the origin card to me,” I said so to make it clear to Ronnie that I was not kidding and was being dead serious.

“What 10 soul jades? How can it cost 10 soul jades, all you did was create an origin card?” Yelled Ronnie, as expected of a primitive mind which only heard the cost, did not comprehend what I was trying to convey. Looks like I will have to get down to his level to make him understand.

“[Stainless Black Steel Alloy x 200kgs – $2million

A-rank Soul reactor x 1 – $27million

A-rank Artificial beast will x 1 – $39million

Origin Core x 1 – 125,000

Total ingredients cost – $68,125,000

Creation Fee – 10 soul jades

Total cost after friends and family discount – 10 soul jades ] ” I slowly explained the bill for the creation of his card to Ronnie. I was generous enough to leave the extra $68,125,000 as a friend and family discount.

“This is highway robbery, even an elite silver grade card creationist only costs 1 soul jade at maximum” Ronnie exclaimed seeing the fee I charged for the creation of his origin card. Yeah, he still thinks I am a Silver grimoire holder because I had disguised my golden grimoire as such. Golden grade grimoire attracts too much unwanted attention, as a golden grimoire can turn any adventurer’s eyes red in greed.

“Who said I was a silver grade card creationist. Was it obvious when I used A-rank ingredients in the creation of your origin card?” I summoned my grimoire but this time I did not disguise its grade.

“Holy Shit! WTF when did you upgrade your grimoire to golden grade? Wait! Doesn’t that mean you are a golden grade card creationist! Fuq, my dearest Cousin, forgive my ignorance. If you want me to be your slave I will be your obedient slave, if you want me to be your watchdog I will be your loyal watchdog. From now to eternity I will be in your care Cousin!” Upon sudden enlightenment, Ronnie once again grabbed my leg and started spouting nonsense.

“Let go, you moron!” Pushing Ronnie aside I continued, “good to know that you understand what is good for you? But your actions till now have made me reconsider your worth. I do not want to raise an ungrateful and unfaithful backstabber”

“No! Cousin I was just kidding earlier. I don’t even know how to properly use the origin card you made for me. I know I am dumb and narrow-minded but I know that family trumps everything cousin. Trust me this once. My actions may look like I am ungrateful for all the help you have provided to me, my parents, my wife and my unborn child but I do not know how to repay you for your kindness towards me and my family. I am just trying to act normal because I do not want to make things awkward between us.

Let the gods bear witness from today till my last breath, I, Ronnie Wyatt pledge my life, my Pride, My Loyalty to my Brother and best friend Dalton Wyatt. If I were ever to go against my pledge let me spend eternity in the fire of hell repenting my sin.” Suddenly Ronnie got on his knees and pledged his loyalty to me to show his sincerity.

I did not trust pledges and promises as they could be broken at any time. But this was enough for me to allow Ronnie to work as my tool as the chief of the new monster meat processing division of the TSR guild.

I created this card for Ronnie to cut ties with him and his family because I have seen many of my colleagues who could have lived a good life with what they make but they all struggled because of their relatives, money boring relatives, moocher relatives, show off relatives, greedy relatives. All in all the people that you consider close to you end up jealous of your success or using you or hurting you. I had already done a lot for Ronnie’s family out of consideration for Mama, Papa and young Wyatt. Uncle and auntie Wyatt are good people but everything had its limits and my generosity had reached its limit by creating the origin card for Ronnie, next it was up to him depending upon his action I would reciprocate.

“Good, I will trust you and give you an opportunity. You will be granted a scholarship by the TSR guild to study Butchering and fish mongering at the Prestige Institute of Culinary under the condition that once you get certified you will join TSR guild’s monster meat processing division. Pack your bags you are heading to the southern Academic city tonight.” Since Ronnie chose to work under me when given the choice, now I can commence with the plans I had for him. The Butcher AI only had basic butchering skills that I knew and used to prepare chicken or fish at home back when I was just a student, it had to learn all the Butchering and fish mongering knowledge and skills of this world for which Ronnie would have to attend a college, “Do not worry about Jackie and the baby, it’s just 3 months crash course. With the ability of your origin card, you can easily learn and record what the Prestige Institute of Culinary has to offer.”
