“Here swallow this and I will help you with Sarah,” I said offering a calamity daughter core to Van.
“What is this, so kind of poison pill?” Inquired Van taking the calamity daughter core as to an untrained eye false human core was nothing but small round pebbles.
“That’s the price for to help you, rest is up to you. Swallow it if you want. I am not forcing you and I have nothing else left to say to you.” Not getting an answer from , Van frustratedly looked at the small round pebble in his hand and thought, ‘completing the ritual is important, rest is secondary.’
…
“I have one origin card and it is called Tyrant body.” Answered Van obediently, if it was soone less they would have already fallen for Van’s docile and sincere act but not I could tell he was working an angle that required my trust and willingness otherwise with his prowess nobody here could stop him from doing what he willed.
[Card Na: Tyrant Body
Card Type: Origin card
Card Rank: Unique Grade
Card Rate: -/-
Card Durability: -/-
Card Effect: The host can absorb soul energy from the surroundings at an unimaginable rate and mix it with his/her flesh and blood reinforcing the physical body. This new body is called the tyrant body. Additional effects:- superhuman level of stamina, strength, defence, regenerative power, reflexes and agility.
Restriction: soul energy absorbed and strength gained is directly proportional to the host’s active soul control. But this absorbed soul energy does not help in cultivating active soul control of the host. ]
So, Van’s first origin card was sowhat similar to the Viltronian physique, Viltronian physique’s power cos from the core but the Tyrant body’s power cos from the amount of soul energy absorbed from the surroundings. And his soul energy absorption was a highly enhanced form of normal card apprentice soul absorption ability, but it did not have the advantages of the soul manipulation ability of Soulpoles. As his soul energy absorption could not get rid of the cursed fire latched onto his soul pathway.
I could tell that Van was being tolerant and polite because he had his own calculations involving . But it did not matter as I was going to make full use of Van’s cooperation. This way I would checkmate Van without him knowing.
Therefore I began designing a special daughter core that would be compatible and go hand in hand with Van’s tyrant body origin card. This way Van’s first origin card would act as a supplentary card for the calamity daughter card. After all tyrant body was quite similar to the Viltronian physique.

The world thinks Irene George the 6th had been awarded ‘Fated Encounter’ after she declared her support to demigod Redfall but in reality, Irene George had received the bestowal ‘Fated Encounter’ Long ago even before she t her current husband.
When Irene George ascended as the queen of the George royal family she had gained the attention of the Demigod Redfall and later beca one of his secret conquests. But when the current governnt forced the George royal family to give up their power and assimilate with the governnt, distressed Irene sought the help of her lover. Since demigods cannot participate in mortal wars Redfall helped her indirectly by bestowing Irene with ‘Fated Encounter’, Irene did not know how this helped her situation but she had complete and blind faith in her lover.
The current governnt, seeing that Irene was the last piece holding the George royal family together, planned to assassinate her instead of waging war with the George royal family as this was the most efficient way for the governnt whose power was stretched thin dealing with various enemies.
The assassination was a success and just when the governnt thought they had taken care of Irene she made a coback with her new powerful champion who alone was equal to an army. Regaining her rightful place, Irene married her loyal champion and swore her and her family’s loyalty to the Demigod Redfall when he and his faction decided to enter the struggle for power with other Rulers.
It was not a surprise that Irene could retain the loyalty of a strong man with her beauty and charm but it was surprising when that strong man would continue to be loyal even if his wife is enjoying a good ti outside of their marital bedroom. This question plagued many scholars, minstrels and bards. Many thought maybe Irene’s husband was one of the demigod’s lovers too but he did not fit the demigod’s type.
What they did not know was this was all because of the ritual involved in the bestowal ‘Fated Encounter’. The ritual ‘Fated Kiss’ where the charming willingly kisses the damsel and they both live happily ever after. When the fated person kisses the unconscious host of the fated encounter he/she is bound to fall under a SSS rank charm and thereafter he/she is blindly in love with the host of the fated encounter and willing to be a slave if required by the host of the fated encounter.
This was the reason Van was so polite, tolerating and sincere towards Wyatt. Van had his doubts about Wyatt as the fated person of Sarah because he was too weak. So Van did his own background check on Wyatt as a result Wyatt’s achievents and endeavour spanned over a week shocked him and his understanding of the world. Breaking into the card scholar realm within a week of contracting a grimoire was scary enough but also achieving silver grade card creationist level in the sa week was just horrifying. Understanding where Wyatt’s value lied and having blind faith in ‘Fated Encounter’ Van decided that he had to get Wyatt to complete the ritual no matter the cost.
…
“You promise to help awaken Sarah with a kiss if I swallow this pebble or whatever it is.” Said Van looking deep into my eyes, Van did not care if the pebble-like thing was a poison or just a pebble or and never stopped to think why Wyatt asked him to swallow this small round person because according to him as long as Wyatt was enslaved by Sarah everything could be solved later.
“Yes, I do.” I did not show the slightest speculation in my emotion as I said these words.
“Good hope you are a man of your word.” Saying that Van swallowed the calamity daughter core to get to willingly kiss Sarah.
