Within Axis is an expansive area called the Soul Matrix, which features dungeons associated with party members Arrow, Milady, and Saizo that represent their mental states. Meanwhile, Ringo can increase her soul level with others through personal events in the city; by increasing this soul level, Ringo can explore deeper within this dungeons in addition to gaining other bonuses such as new summoner skills and stat upgrades.

The Soul Matrix dungeons provide additional opportunities for players to level up their party, and also provide glimpses of the characters’ pasts through Vision Quests.
