Chapter 2 – Growing up (1)

“Kessler where are youuuu? Stop hiding and come eat your food”

.

‘like I would tell you!’

I am now hiding from that milk crazy woman i call mother, it's been 6 months now and she has been ‘feeding' me everyday, so many times I stopped counting ,while blaming me for being gluttonous .

The person who usually took care of my various needs was my father but when he's at the clinic working, this woman tortures me while complaining about how I drink too much milk.

I swear she's crazy!!

“hah I hope she doesn't find me this time”, I already can walk for a bit but I still can't move very well and not for long but for now it's better than helplessly waiting for a certain someone to pick me up and play around with my tiny body.

“I'm home!” Finally my savior!!

I ran to my father at the door and jumped into his arms happily.

“ha ha, are you still bullying him honey?”

“why does he hate me so much I just want him to be well fed” she pouted.

To this even my gentleman dad had black lines on his forehead ,“ you call 5 times a day well fed? Even a body builder wouldn't eat so much also... where do you get so much milk in the first place?”.

“humph even you are bullying me you father and son combo are really horrible”, me and my dad turned speechless.

I forget to introduce them, this crazy woman is my mother Nicole medlar and she is a 24 year old housewife ( i still don't what she works )and the gentleman is my father Terrance medlar who is also 24 years old . He comes from a hidden family of doctors and each descendant is expected to walk the same path and that of course includes me.

I learned later that the medicine ways my family practice are 180 degrees away from the conventional medicine practiced everywhere but my father still learned the normal ways and only used his ‘special' skills when the norm failed him.

To be honest I was pretty excited when I found out that I could learn medicine as it was my dream in my previous life. I even sent an application to Harvard but due to several unfortunate events and opinions from my foster family I focused on gaming and getting money from it to support the family.

Anyway as I had thought this place is empire city from infamous and I am currently less than 10 years away from the game's events.

As for why my name was Kessler; it is definitely not a coincidence that my name and the last boss's name is a match.

But the most confusing thing about me was that my body was growing way too fast compared to the average human , heck i learned from my parents later that I stayed in my mom's womb for only 5 months. All of that only served to confuse me more.

“Hah , thinking about it will only hurt my head maybe its related to my power” I shook my head, “But what kind of power would hasten my growth like that?”

“Speaking of powers I still don't know if I even have a power but my growth speed is definitely unusual.”

.

.

And with that 2 and a half years passed and I can now talk normally , run and do all sorts of things that three year old shouldn't be able to, my parents were horrified at my growth so much that my father ran straight to his family mountain( turns out that my family is filthy rich) to check it out with my great grandpa , who is the best medicine practitioner in the family.

He's your typical old guy who acts strong but is really cute when in front of a child. He was very tall almost 2 meters and had a fierce face with a white hair, a trimmed beard, and a very well built body, one that is not suited for a doctor who saves lives.

I think it's safe to assume that he is not only a doctor.

“when did you adopt a child terry?”

“this is your great grandson Kessler.”

“WHAT! Why is he so big? He looks like a 6 year old wasn’t terry born 3 years ago?”

“ Yes ,this is why we are here, we want to make sure that he is fine.”

“oh Nicky is here as well? i haven't seen her in such a long time i remember the days when you were tiny children and were always playing with my bear..” “ Focus old man!”

This was the first time i saw my dad this irritated, but i was beginning to understand why my father never visited here.

“Oh sorry i really talk too much” then winked at me,” so this is my cute great grandson huh show me your wrist Kessy”

The moment he held my wrist the old ba.... my grandpa’s eyes were full of seriousness.

‘At least he knows when to be serious, he's not the best in the family for nothing'.

“...T..THIS IS!!!” suddenly his eye suddenly contracted, then he said some thing that almost made me faint from anger “his hands are so tiny and cute !!”

‘WEIRD OLD MAN!!’

.

.

.

.

In the end he couldn't find anything that might tell us why i am growing so fast.

“Hmm, i might have to go the ancestral library to look for some answers”

He paused for and continued with a solemn and serious face.

“When i do i will send for you but you guys must stay here for a month or so as it will take some time” he said

“Just be honest i know you want to play with Kessler”

the old man reverted to his silly face, “Hehe, it seems i can't hide anything from you terry” man what a cute old man.

.

.

.

Its been two weeks here and i got pretty familiar with the people of my family and every time i told them i was Terrance’s son their faces turned pale and they quickly avoided me, when i asked mom later she told me about dad's dark history.

From young, dad was probably the most mischievous child to exist, he didn't leave anything bad not done.

Peep on the ladies? That was a daily routine, bully the other kids? He became the local gang chief, name one bad thing in your mind and he definitely did it.

My first reaction to that was total disbelief, how can the extremely gentleman i know be such a trouble maker .

“He met me” mom said

“An even more trouble maker than him and i tamed him, tee hee .”

I was still filled with disbelief but when i remembered the people's reactions i was half convinced.

Of course i asked dad later, but i very much regretted asking, maybe if i didn't ask then i would have still held onto a bit my father's gentleman view but when i asked him he answered with a embarrassed face.

"Yeah i was a bit wild when i was young but your mom set me straight” sigh this family of mine is really abnormal *face palm*.
