Ben was confused. "Where am I? Is this a dream? " Ben thought as he drunk the "milk" that he was given. Ben continued to think of where he could possibly be and came up with nothing.
Ben gave up thinking and watched the "giants" talk and smile at each other. Suddenly, they both smiled and looked at Ben. The sudden change shocked Ben as his vision was suddenly obscured by a familiar screen:

"Wait, I can actually understand them now?!?! " Ben thought as he understood what the two "giants" we're saying.
"Matilda, sweety, are you ready to show James to his siblings." The male giant in the charcoal grey robe said to the female giant.
"Do you think it will be okay, Benjamin. " Matilda said as she looked into Benjamin's bright blue eyes.
"Come in and meet your new brother, kids. " Benjamin said as he looked towards the maroon planked door.
A group of kids that varied in ages from eight to thirteen entered and crowded around Matilda.
"Mom, why is he so small? " A young boy who appeared to be around ten years old with black hair and appeared very similar to Matilda.
"Josh, he is bigger than you were when you were born. " A teenage girl that had long brown hair and was very similar to Benjamin.
"How do you remember that? You were younger than Josh is, Amber. " A boy slightly younger than Amber said as he started to chuckle.
"Mom, What is happening to his ears!?!?" The same boy that was speaking to amber asked Matilda as he jumped closer to James.
"What do you mean . . . Benjamin!!! Something happened to James his ears are pointed and look like a dogs." Matilda said as she was freaking out.
"When did this happen!? Is there any way to fix this? I'm going to get Doctor Gupta, he will know what is wrong." Benjamin said as he ran out of the room.
Benjamin ran back into the room about an hour later with a middle aged man that had long dark black hair with a strange orange diamond on the center of his forehead.

"Where is the child?" Doctor Gupta asked in a deep voice as he entered the room and started to look towards Matilda.
"Here is james." Matilda said as she handed james to Doctor Gupta..
"Huh, What is with the Qi levels from this infant?!?!" Doctor Gupta said as soon as he touched James.
"Wait did he just say Qi? No, I must be hearing things." James thought as he listened to the conversations going on around him.
"Here, I am going to use my Qi to see if there is anything abnormal." Doctor Gupta said as he had Benjamin hold james while he placed his palms on James upper back near the nape of his next.
"Huh, what is this feeling? Why do I feel so wrong? No, stop it !! " James thought as he struggled as much as he could but then again a infant cannot put up that much of a struggle.
"Huh, Why are his meridans already open?!?! If this child doesn't become a talented Cultivator then I will write my name backwards and upside down from now until the day that I die!!!" Doctor Gupta said with excitement as he Returned James who just passed out to matilda.
"What is wrong with him Doctor Gupta?" Benjamin asked as he looked at Doctor Gupta.
"Wrong? How is there anything wrong with him? His meridans, which a normal cultivator their entire life just to open half of their meridans, are already open. Not only that his meridans are three times larger than a grown adults. He will be able to advance very quickly by being able to gather more Qi than other Cultivators his age. Even if he cultivates with half the effort of his peers then he will still advance atleast twice as fast as them." Doctor Gupta said as he could barely contain the excitement he was feeling of seeing someone who's future was literally endless.
"But what is wrong with his ears?" Matilda who had said nothing the entire time finally spoke up.
"Pherhaps some sort of mutation? The amount of Qi he absorbs naturally maay be more than he can currently handle and caused some sort of reaction? Don't look at me like that Matilda Lily Adrian Omh, a doctor is not supposed to be able to know everything. Not to mention this has never happened before. *Sigh* I promise you that I will watch over him as much as possible and help him with everything that I can so quit looking at me like that." Doctor Gupta said helplessly.
"Doctor Gupta, neither me or my wife are cultivators so how did this happen?" Benjamin said as he and Doctor Gupta turned to face Matilda.
"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO SAU THAT TO ME BENJAMIN!! I have been married to you for over a decade and yet you are trying to accuse me of being unfaithful. The next time you try watch what happens very closely! " Matilda said as she nearly jumped out of the Queen sized bed she was laying on.
"Matilda could I see James once more for a few minutes?" Doctor Gupta said as he looked at Matilda very seriously.
"Yes, sir." Matilda said as she seen the shift in Doctor Guptas mood.
"Good, I will need a drop of yours and Benjamins blood." Doctor Gupta said as he took out two vials and handed them to Benjamin and Matilda while he took out a third vial and took a drop of James blood by using a very strange looking Syringe.
"Most doctors who cultivate are able to use their energy arts to remove blood samples without causing any pain but alas mine end up causing more pain than this syringe." Doctor Gupta said as he mixed the three vials of blood together and then held it in one hand while he put the palm of his other hand over it. The hand he held over it glowed with a pale white glow.
"Well, Benjamin it seems she wasn't lying. James is indeed yours and Matilda's son. Your genetics must have been the cau....." Doctor Gupta said while he was interupted at the end by a slap from Matilda.
"Doctor Gupta, how dare you not believe my beautiful, intelligent and honest wife! Why did you . . ." Benjamin said as he was interupted by a death stare from Matilda.
"It was worth a shot Benjamin." Doctor Gupta said with a laugh.
"I know, looks like its the dog house for me." Benjamin said with a laugh.
"No, Benjamin your not sleeping in the dog house." Matilda said sweetly, catching everyone off gaurd including the kids who were listening in quite while standing out of Doctor Gupta's way.
"Really?" Benjamin asked believing what Matilda said was to good to be true.
"YES!! IF YOU SLEPT IN THE DOG HOUSE THEN YOU MAY END UP TAINTING IT AND RUFFUS! I WANT YOU TO SLEEP IN A INN SOMEWHERE FOR A WEEK." Matilda screamed as she woke up James.
"Huh, so it wasn't a dream?" James said as he saw the Bars at the top left of his screen. He focused on the bars and the familiar menu appeared once again.

"I wonder if everyone else levels up in this world or is it just me? Why is everyone staring at me again!!" James thought as the menu disappeared and his vision was filled with the overcrowded room.
"Mom, is he a cultivator?" The older of the two boys asked as he looked at Matilda.
"Cameron, quit being silly. He is just a infant that hasn't learned a cultivation technique." Benjamin said as he laughed.
"Haha, when he does start cultivating he will be able to pass up all of us old generation within a few years." Doctor Gupta said as he laughed.
"Who said he is going to be a cultivator!" Matilda screamed as she gave Doctor Gupta a stern look.
"It's his choice hon. If he chooses to be a cultivator then its his choice." Benjamin said as he looked at James.
"Huh, am I hearing things or are they talking about cultivation? Please tell me they are talking about energy cultivation and not farming." James thought as he continued to listen to their conversation.
"I know sweety but cultivation is a path that is washed in blood, paved with bone and leads to a sea of tears." Matilda said as she looked at James.
"They must be talking about energy cultivation. If they are talking about argiculture then I'm jumping through another black hole." James thought as he fell back asleep.
