My Hermes System

A Speedster in a Fantasy World More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world. Swallowing up the world whole with the vile creatures that came out of it. The humans struggled for years as their weaponry could only get them as far as fending them off. But everything changed when the first super human was discovered, a child that was born after the portals have appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others, and they all held the same power... A power that was known as the System. And those who were born with it were called System Holders. The System Holders, with their mysterious powers, were the ones who helped recover the world from the monsters, once again reclaiming it. And now, a hundred years later, a System Holder was born, the Holder of the Hermes System, the Gatherer of Souls.

Chapter 72: The Truth

"What do you remember about my mother?"

Andrea was a bit caught off guard by Van's sudden question. Whenever she mentions Van's mother, he always seemed to try to avoid the topic. "Hmm…", Andrea placed her hand on her chin as she continued to walk, "Well, I remember she was very tall"

"...Tall?", Van slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Hm", Andrea quickly nodded her head, "Just a few inches shorter than your father, if I remember correctly"

"What?", Van could not help twitch an eye as he heard Andrea's words. His father was already quite tall, and his mother was as tall as him?

...Then why was he so small? What kind of disparity was that?

"Honestly, for some reason, I don't really remember what she looked like but...", Andrea tilted her head as she tried to recall everything she knew, "I think she was quite beautiful since lots of men were chasing after her. My father told me stories about how he also tried to woo her"
