As the notifications rang in Exedra's mind, he did his best to listen and pay attention but ultimately he failed as his body was still trembling from the excruciating ordeal he'd just gone through.

Suddenly the door to his room was kicked in and three women strode in with worried looks on their faces. 

Taking a deep breath, the young dragon got up slowly and he could immediately notice that all of the weakness that had permeated his body before was no longer present. 

In fact, his body felt better than it ever had in either of his lives. 

He could sense his mana that was now coursing properly throughout his body, a strange sensation but not at all an unpleasant one.

'Holy hell, am I taller?' He thought as he finally noticed the clear difference in his surroundings.

"A-Asmodeus?"

Suddenly, Exedra remembered he was not alone when he heard a beautiful singsong voice that he knew all too well.

His mother on earth was a horrible bitch who never showed him love from the moment he was born.

But this woman in front of him now, she was the kind of mother anyone would be overjoyed to have.

She had long flowing silver hair with two black horns sitting proudly atop her head. She wore elaborate white and blue robes befitting of her status as the most favored princess of a powerful empire.

Her bright purple eyes looked at the man in front of her with a great deal of confusion and hope.

After experiencing all of Exedra's memories, it was impossible for him not to be moved by her arrival in the slightest. 

Before he knew it, he was responding to her warmly as if he'd done so a thousand times before.

"No… it's me mother."

"Exedra?!"

'She looks pretty surprised, I must've changed a lot more than just my height.'

Thud!

Exedra watched in horror as his mother's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell forward face first onto the ground.

"Mom!"

"Mother!"

"Oh gods, somebody help!"

Almost as if on cue the medical team that consisted of a small squad of healing mages arrived on the scene lead by the head butler Duke.

Duke looked back and forth between Yara and the unknown man for what felt like an eternity , as if he was trying to piece together what could've just taken place.

"It's me, old man. Now can you please help my mother? I think she's just fainted from shock."

Duke's eyes became as wide as saucers as he realized the man in front of him was indeed the young master he'd been serving all this time. "…completely understandable.." 

"Alright everyone! Help her get to her room." The white haired old dragon began to organize the healing mages he'd brought in who were also staring at Exedra funnily. 

'Did I get uglier or something?'

As the healers got to work helping Yara, Exedra turned his gaze to the two ladies who entered with her, and his heart immediately began to speed up.

They looked just as beautiful as he remembered, causing his mind to freeze and leaving him with nothing to say to them.

Noticing that he'd probably been staring too long, he merely stammered out the first words that came to mind.

"Ah.. hello girls.. You both look as lovely as ever."

Lailah : "Thank you, and I must say you look.."

Bekka : "Brand fucking new!"

At her words, everyone in the room nodded their head furiously in agreement, prompting the dragon to scratch his cheek in slight embarrassment.

He hadn't noticed it before, but both of his wives were giving him very strange looks and he had absolutely no idea what they meant.

'Hey system, do you know why they are looking at me like that?'

< Answer : The individual known as Lailah is gazing at the host with lust.

 'Lust? Me?'

<Correct, after analysis of the individuals facial muscles and eye patterns, system has found this answer to be most likely.< p>

'Uhhh... and Bekka?'

While Lailah's face was red and she was avoiding his gaze, Bekka was staring at him openly with a predatory smile. 

< The individual known as Bekka is looking at the host as a potential combatant.

< 'Sizing you up' if you will.

While that answer was rather simple, it only served to multiply his confusion even further. 

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and moved back towards the mirror to see why everyone was being so weird around him.

Bekka and Lailah seemingly understood what he was about to do and came and stood on either side of him as he looked in the mirror.

Staring back at Exedra was a tall, bronze skinned man with glowing red eyes, four black horns and long dark red hair.

The scrawny boy he saw before was no more and in front of him stood a man whose body was so well defined and perfect it could make the most beautiful male models on earth develop body image issues.

Looking at this complete and utter stranger before me all I could think was...

"Who the fuck is this?"
