Devastated JJ picked up his shattered dreams and accessed his origin card record vault to see if he could find something to rejuvenate them. Now that he had taken the risk to turn the unknown true relic into his origin card out of curiosity about why his predecessor left this behind he might as well see it through. When JJ tried to explore the record vault, he found his entire body was dragged into the vault leaving a ruby gem in the location where he once stood. Inside the record vault, JJ found rows and rows of selves. The first few selves were filled with records but the ones after that were all empty. A handsome figure walked out from the aisle between the selves, JJ found the figure familiar, it was his predecessor. The royal family's history records had these images from young to old. So, JJ instantly made out who the figure was. Being in the presence of his ancestor JJ hurriedly bowed only to hear the figure say:

"If you are bowing then don't bother because I am just a recorded memory. I can't see you or hear you. This is the beauty of this place you can experience your or other persons' stored memories here from the third person or the first person point of view, your choice. I hope this point alone will be enough to make up for the fact that I upgraded the true relic 'Ruby Vault' to 'Record Vault.' This is not an excuse, trust me Record Vault is far better than Ruby Vault. If you are a brains over brawns kind of guy then, you will agree with me on this one. Ruby Vault might look like a lifesaver, but there is no point in continuing one's life like that. Since you have an unparalleled bloodline I assume you are not afraid of death. So you have no use for a Ruby Vault…" Midway throught his predecessor's words JJ clenched his fist because Ruby Vault wasn't just a lifesaving card, aside from it life saving capabilities it was a high-level artificial ego gem that would allow one to store their runes or divinity and pass them to future generations. To think that his predecessor did not think twice about ruining such a true relic twice JJ instantly lost his respect for him. JJ now knew every word about his predecessor being a prodigal in the Royal family's records was true. Realizing this, he strongly had an urge to hit this prodigal predecessor of his. But then, JJ recalled that true relics were not easy to mess with he had never heard of anyone ever upgrading a false relic let alone a true relic. Realizing this he once again could not help but revere his prodigal predecessor. It did not last long recalling that, his predecessor clearly failed to upgrade the true relic instead he downgraded it from Ruby Vault to Record Vault. Regardless of what his predecessor said JJ felt Record Vault was a down grade version of Ruby Vault. "... I had my reasons as to why I went through the trouble of upgrading the Ruby Vault to Record Vault. Times back then were different, I do not expect for you to understand what I did and why I did it. Therefore, I will not go into detail about it but seeing how you were able to get hold of this I think my plan worked. The Record Vault contains all the knowledge of our predecessors that I lost in gambling to the central government or the top ten universities. Not only that it also contains all my life's work so far. Now all of it is yours. Make use of them as you see fit. I trust you will do right by your bloodline. Now, for the last reveal, the reason why there are no records of my burial in the royal cemetery is that I didn't die in the card world, I just chose to leave the card world or as most of our ancestors would put it, I abandoned the card world.

Since you possess the Unparalleled bloodline, you must have gotten the same speech my father gave me, 'We the unparallel descendants are the protectors of the South and the World itself. We are never to forsake it blah blah blah… Because of this reason, despite the Card World being unable to support their growth all of our ancestors chose to stay and protect the Card World and not head into the Myriad Realms to grow further. My father did the same thing and he wanted me to do the same but as you might have already guessed. Yes, I abandoned my duty as an unparalleled descendant and left for the myriad realms since the card world could no longer support my growth. I do plan to return once I am strong enough to make things better. If I have not returned yet it seems I have failed but I don't regret my decision. However, if I did then in your face Dad. Regardless, I wish you the best my dearest junior. My only advice for you is to live on your terms and not on someone else's." JJ stood in the middle of the shelves as his predecessors' recorded message ended. He had gained too much information and needed some time to process it. But once he did, he screamed at the top of his lungs cussing, "Fuck you, you prodigal son of a bitch!" He cuss echoed among the shelves. JJ could not bring himself to agree with his prodigal predecessor that Record Vault was better than Ruby Vault. Ruby Vault can be used by card apprentices to store and pass unique and rare runes to their descendants similar to how the Empire seems to have all of Demigod Micheal Angelo Godson's runes stored in a Ruby Vault for his descendants. How could experiencing one's ancestors' stored memories of using time rune ever surpass inheriting one's ancestor's time rune itself? Hence, JJ believed Record Vault was a downgrade of Ruby Vault. However, he would soon eat those words of his.
