Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

Cindy Moss, Managing Director of Fine Gold Merchants Sky Blossom Branch had not slept in the last 24 hours.

It all began when 20 cards with perfect ratings made of 5 F-rank female armour card recipes copyrighted under Fine Gold Designs flood the market.

One has to know even the original Designers and creators of these card recipes cannot guarantee to create these cards with perfect ratings.

Yet somehow these 5 F-rank female armour card recipes each in a set of 4 cards with perfect card ratings were auctioned yesterday.

Since they were auctioned in Sky Blossom City As the acting managing director of the sky blossom branch Cindy was alerted of this anomaly.

If it was someone else who had alerted her maybe Cindy would not have personally attended to this matter but her friend Chairman of Fine Gold merchants currently visiting Sky Blossom City had shown interest in it so she could not hand it to others and had to treat this situation with utmost priority.

Being at the top of the food chain in the city it was not hard for Cindy to gather information on the cards that were auctioned. Following the money, she was able to find the creator of the cards.

Going through the information on the card creator Cindy was confused more than ever according to the info in her hand the creator of these cards was a high schooler who had just stepped into the card student realm.

Even though he was a silver grimoire holder it was so bizarre and far-fetched to think a rookie could create perfect rating cards.

No matter how implausible and unrealistic this sounds she had to share this info with the Chairman.

To her surprise the Chairman was not as shocked as she was seeing the info instead, the Chairman ordered her to recruit this rookie asap.

Cindy was overwhelmed by how impetuous the chairman was being to recruit the rookie without verifying the truth of the matter at hand.

Still, Cindy took it upon herself to complete the task of recruiting the rookie because the chairman gets what she wants.

Unable to find Wyatt at his home or school Cindy ended up crashing Susan’s reunion with Debra to find Wyatt.

Cindy knew Debra from her resume applying for a security personnel job at Fine Gold merchants. Cindy was impressed by Debra’s experience enough to remember her name.

Fine Gold was a multinational company making billions in turn over every year they did not lack the average card soldiers but the capable card soldiers with origin cards who would develop along with the company.

And Debra’s fate ingredient along with her experience made her a Fine Gold worthy asset.

One thing led to another with Cindy ending up offering a Job to Debra right then there, terms and conditions applied though.

Debra was offered a permanent Job at Fine Gold and she would be earning 5 times what she had earned at her previous job at Raven guild not only that earning enough merits at Fine Gold she would be able to upgrade her grimoire to Silver entirely paid by the company’s resources.

Great offer, Debra would have accepted it if not for the terms and condition.

The terms and conditions stated that Debra had to get her Origin card created by Wyatt. Yes, Cindy was planning to use Debra to test Wyatt’s capabilities.

No matter the origin card creation succeeded or failed Debra would still be recruited by Fine Gold with previously mentioned terms.

Debra was now in a bind, as discovering one’s fate ingredient was a rare opportunity and Debra did not want to take any chances in creating her first origin card.

But Cindy’s offer was too good to refuse, as an average card soldier Debra knew how hard it was to be able to upgrade to the silver grimoire.

Debra was stuck in the card soldier realm because of the bronze grimoire.

There are many perks for having a higher grade grimoire.

With the high-grade grimoire, one can use higher grade cards. Not only that cultivating active soul control also becomes easier and efficient.

Being a Card soldier Debra requires a silver grimoire to cultivate active soul control faster and more efficiently but bronze grimoire only slows down the process making it harder for Debra to achieve higher active soul control.

Worst of all with the bronze grimoire, she could not use D or C rank cards was limited to only using G, F and E- rank cards even though her active soul control was enough to use D or C rank cards.

Making her a lot weaker than a card soldier using a silver grimoire.

Seeing how much importance her friend Susan and the Managing Director Cindy gave to Wyatt and his card creating prowess, Debra decided to roll the dice and take up Cindy on her offer.

This was any once in a lifetime opportunity similar to finding a fate ingredient and it seems she could only have one. So she chose silver grimoire to achieve higher realms and higher combat prowess.

Who knows if she was lucky enough she could still have both a silver grimoire and an origin card.

…

As Susan explained I understood the whole situation and what was going on, but I did not see how this profited me.

I decided to offer my services to help create cards for others to make large and fast cash not showcase my card creation ability.

Returning to Debra and Cindy I introduced myself, “Dalton Wyatt high school senior, Susan has brought me up to the speed. Now let’s talk about the budget for card creation and the cost of my service.”

It did not matter if they wanted to test my abilities or something else it had nothing to do with me after all everyone is entitled to their opinion.

As long as I am getting paid enough for the service I rendered it did not matter what they thought.

Debra looked at Cindy as she was her boss now. Cindy still maintaining an expressionless face and with an arrogant tone, she said, “There is no limit to the budget for the card creation go crazy, show me what you got the company will bear all the cost as for your pay 10% of whatever you have spent for the card creation. Bear in mind that the origin card created should be worthy of our Fine Gold Company.”

Hearing Cindy Susan and Debra’s mind went numb in utter shock as they dumbfoundedly gawked at Cindy. As for me, I was hyped and excited as finally my imagination was not limited to a budget.contemporary romance
