Chapter 3 - Axel

Ronan felt like he was in a deep sleep after losing consciousness. He had no idea how much time had gone, and he was always aware of someone speaking to him.

He wanted to respond, but he couldn't. In that pitch-black space, it seemed like an eternity.

after an unknown time.

[System...is...initializing...]

[Absorbing....heavenly dao....]

[The soul has been seriously....damaged...]

[Using...heavenly dao...for...soul...healing...]

[healing...of...soul....has....been....initiated]

[Soul...was...healed..]

Ronan gradually opened his eyes. He instinctively checked his body and his surroundings.

Ronan gazed at the man in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Young master, you are healed," the guy sobbed.

Ronan was perplexed by the circumstances.

[Found fragments of your soul's fragmented memories. Would you like to merge?]

Ronan looked over the blue transparent panel that displayed a choice. either yes or no

He had no idea what the blue screen was, but he only saw fragmented soul memories.

'Memories could be linked to this body. I need to figure out who I am.'

Ronan gave the man a sidelong glance and whispered.

"Rest..."

The middle-aged man was taken aback and spoke up.

"Young master...you can speak.....good...good...madam and master would be delighted to see you."

"Young master, I will take you to your bedroom."

The middle-aged man pushed Ronan's wheelchair upstairs carefully. He spoke while placing Ronan on the bed.

"Take a break, young master. "We'll talk later."

The middle-aged man walked out of the room. Ronan spoke as he gazed at the translucent panel.

"Merge."

Ronan felt as if he were being drawn into a whirlpool.

************************************

"Mr. David, you had a boy."

"Thank you very much, doctor. "Can I see my wife?"

"Sure."

David entered the ward quickly. He spoke while looking at his wife.

"How are you, Alina?"

"I'm fine, honey." Take a look at our son."

David gazed at the boy who was in Alina's arms. With emotion, he took the boy into his arms.

"Did you choose a name for him?"

"Axel. "How is it?"

"Good."

"From now on, your name will be Axel."

Ronan took a glance at the man and woman. The man appeared to be in his thirties and had an oval face. His hair is black. He can tell this man is strong just by looking at him.

The woman appeared to be in her thirties and had a trapezoidal face. She had blue wavy hair and was every bit as strong as the man.

David moved him, but he received no response. David's entire body shook.

"What happened, Honey?"

David turned to face Alina and spoke.

"There was no movement in his body."

"Give him over to me."

Alina also moved the boy, but he did not reply.

"David...call the doctor...."

"Ok...Ok..."

David dashed out the door to call the doctor, and after some time, he returned with a doctor.

"Doctor, I need to know what's going on or I'm going to smash this hospital."

Alina yelled at the doctor. The doctor was perspiring profusely. He spoke timidly.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we'll figure it out."

The doctor swiftly took Alex and ran different tests, but they found no problem.

"We had already conducted various tests, but we didn't know anything."

"Should we go ahead and tell them?"

"Do you want to die?"

"Do you have any idea who they are?"

"They are grandmasters." If we don't solve the problem today, it will be our last day."

"How should we proceed?"

"Contact the president." Only the president is capable of handling the problem."

Someone dialed the president's number.

"We already ran several tests, Madam, but we didn't find anything."

Alina was on the edge of bursting.

"Don't worry, ma'am; we've already called our president, and he'll be here shortly." He was a Grandmaster level healer."

Alina felt relieved after hearing this.

"Wait for the Grandmaster; he will be aware of the situation."

After some time, the president also gathered at the ward.

"What happened?"

The situation was soon explained by the doctors. The President looked at David as well.

"I didn't expect to meet you like this, City Lord."

"Sorry, President; we didn't want any extra attention." I'm here as David."

The president nodded and then spoke.

"It's fine. "May I have a look at him?"

Alina and David both nodded.

President grabbed the youngster in his arms and slowly passed his power through him.

'Body functions are not a problem. He was in good health. 'Where is the issue?'

President instantly gathered his soul force to examine Alex's soul. The president was taken aback.

'What is this, his spirit is severely damaged? The boy's soul has tremendous strength. What a shame.'

The President opened his eyes and addressed David.

"Can I talk to you alone, David?"

Alina spoke while holding David's hand as he was about to nod.

"President, you can talk."

President groaned and began speaking.

"There was no issue with his body, and all of his bodily functions were functioning normally." He was in excellent health."

"The issue is with the soul." Your son's soul suffered 70% to 80% harm. He may be comatose for the rest of his life."

Alina had already fainted after hearing this. David hugged Alina and spoke rapidly.

"Alina... Alina... Alina..."

President spoke after assessing her condition.

"Don't worry, she just passed out."

David escorted her to the ward. He spoke after looking at Alina.

" Alina was unable to give birth after our marriage. We looked everywhere for a treatment for her, and then she got pregnant, and you're telling me that my son was a vegetable? Heaven did not treat us well."

"President, there is no possible way to save my son."

"There are two options, Mr. David."

"First and foremost, you can save him with soul-healing items. However, these materials are also extremely scarce."

"Second, when he reaches the age of 18, he can be baptized by Heavenly Dao."

After hearing the president's words, David tightened his fists. He is aware that soul resources are extremely uncommon, and heavenly dao baptism gave him little hope. He is unsure whether Axel will live to be 18 years old.

"Thank you, President"

"You can call me if you need anything."

Ronan whispered as he looked around.

"These two were my parents, and that boy was me."

His eyes become wet unknowingly.
