Draxus Heimdal finally awoke from his slumber, caused by what had happened in the Santuria capital. The incident of him being controlled by one of the seven souls that reside inside his mortal body. At first, he regarded all of them as nothing but fiction. But apparently, it all grew as he entered the world of magic. He refused to believe it at first, but now he has completely embraced the power despite being sealed by Serkyrio.
As he opened his eyes from the stasis chamber, the first face he saw was Harold smiling with a tinge bit of wickedness in it. He internally retorted about the smile he was showing and asked him with his gaze to open up the thing. The liquid mana that was keeping Draxus in stasis was starting to drain down the tubes that were attached into it. Eventually, Draxus removed the tubes that were attached to check for his vital signs. Afterwards, Harold opened up the stasis chamber and greeted Draxus.
"Been a while Drax, how many dreams did you count?" Harold was somewhat smug as he greeted Draxus who entered a short slumber. "Shut up, and how did everything go?" Harold gave him a quick explanation before urging Draxus to go out immediately. "Dude, you should catch up with a certain group, they've been waiting for you to reawaken after all." Draxus immediately realized what Harold said and attempted to sense everything within the castle, but he felt somewhat uncomfortable after attempting to do so. "Ghh!" He clutched his chest and crouched down thinking about the cause, but he eventually recognize the reason why he couldn't exert too much mana. "...I'm still sealed huh...?" Harold nodded but Draxus simply shrugged it off and walked out towards the exit of the laboratory. There he was greeted by five girls that he cared about. All in unison, "Draxus!!" shouted his name as they all ganged up and hugged him. Draxus immediately lost his balance but he was smiling as he received everyone very happily. The girls were delighted to the point that they were tearing up at the sight of his recovery. While Draxus simply smiled as he urged them to stand up as they will be talking on his room.
The girls had already planned their schedules with Draxus on the turns where they will be going around the areas in the world. After planning out, Serkyrio who noticed Draxus' presence reawakening earlier knocked on the door as if predicting that the girls had already done what they wished from him for the time being. When Draxus opened the door, he found Serkyrio with his equipment that was last found in the Capital of Santuria Theocracy, Gwen's home country. "Serkyrio... These gear...?" Serkyrio nodded, which made Draxus understood as he recall the appearance of both weapons. The two swords have a similar shape but with a different hilt guard. One of which showed a compass while the other appeared itself as an hourglass. The memories that he wished to identify as fiction once again filled his mind and thrusted themselves into a vivid flash in his eyes. The death of a loved one as a God erased her existence, with an arm point. He muttered the name of the person that was erased. "Ernaline..." The memories then came flooding of another life that he had lived due to the soul of the prime existence slowly converging into his body. "So the moon card awakens a soul... A soul that I lived as once..." Draxus lost the will to stand as he knelt down while hugging both swords. The loss of something was an experience that he already felt even before he attained such power. But to experience it for seven more times as more souls were awakened, was something that he was about to brace himself for. The girls walked up behind him as Matilda had the guts to hug him from behind. "It's gonna be okay Drax..." Matilda used Draxus' shoulder as a chin rest, helping him calm down completely. He wiped the tears that were caused by the recollection of loss as he urged Matilda to let go. He then stood up and asked Serkyrio of his business. "Sorry to interrupt the reunion Drax, but we got an urgent mission. I'll meet you at the briefing room when you're ready." Serkyrio left the group and went towards the briefing room with a relieved expression. He then made a light mutter as he walked forward. "Glad he's good, he won't be able to use around eighty percent of his original power, and ninety percent of his magic right now, but he'll be able to use it soon enough..."
Back in his room, Draxus sat down where he lined up four swords of his complete ownership. Two of them were referenced from a certain game, while the other two came from one of his manifested souls. "It's gonna increase from now on... Since I can't use a lot of magic, my overwhelming attacks will be hindered badly." He was talking to himself as he then immediately realized the five girls were pouting after he was prepared to take the tasks. "Ah everyone... I can explain...?" He was slightly shaking as he turned his head towards them. He was then pulled onto the bed as the girls began sitting around him. "Wait, this isn't some sort of ritual right?" With his retort, the atmosphere was instantly broken as the group began laughing. Draxus fixed his posture and sat properly to continue the talk between them. They then continued to talk about what had happened while Draxus was in stasis.
Eventually, the topic landed on Draxus being one of the eight souls. The girls asked him about the life of Zero who was considered as a Wandering Abomination. He didn't hesitate to tell them the entire story as he simply vowed something.
"That God isn't going to get away with what he's done." After ending the talk, Draxus went out to the briefing room with determination while the girls began talking about the order of the dates. Draxus laughed lightly as he immediately recalled something from a show that he enjoyed watching being a similar situation to his. "A whole day with each of them huh...? Guess I can't really do anything about it now." Draxus had a smile on his face despite having his abilities sealed.
