(WSA 2025 ENTRY!)

Skyler's story was typical. He was publicly labeled a waste with no future as a Light — awakened individuals capable of wielding elemental powers. He thought that would be the end of it. But no, apparently that was not the case.

He was teleported to the 'Battle Royal' to fight, even though he had zero powers and his age and potential were 100% ineligible!

To make matters worse, he was not even the protagonist or transmigrator! He was just a freaking side character destined to die young in the story! And his death served only one purpose — to bring his sister closer to the protagonist!

What a pitiful ending, right?

However, unbeknownst to all, he wasn't meant to die but to become the best in two other realms, and they had altered the fate of that powerful King. Yet, there was a tiny problem — he didn't remember how he became overpowered in his past.

Skybound Throne

Time marched on as Skyler and the others he knew fought their way through the Gala, each advancing steadily toward the finals.

Isaac was caught up in the potion-making competition. Riruru faced her own battles. Charles had his hands full as well. At last, the final day of the week-long Gala arrived.

Whether by chance or sheer coincidence, Skyler found himself unpaired against any of the main cast after Zack all this time.

He cheered as Elena was defeated by a powerful student from the second-ranked academy on the Human Continent. In the end, 40 students advanced to the finals—eleven of them from Starlight Academy.

"How did you make it to the finals?"

Only to get a speechless look in return.
