—WSA 2025 ENTRY—

Seiya was born into a family of legends. A lineage of power. A dynasty of paragons.

He was none of these things.

Weak. Unwanted. A disgrace.

But destiny had no interest in their expectations. It had plans of its own.

Dragged into a hell beyond reason, Seiya suffered—not for days, not for years, but for what felt like eternity. Torture became his only companion. Pain, his only teacher. And in that suffering, something inside him woke up.

Not an awakening like the others. Not a gift. Not a blessing.

A truth. A force that didn’t belong to this world, or any other.

Now, he returns. Not to prove himself. Not to earn his place.

But to burn everything down.

Armed with the Staff of Chaos and the Sword of Severance, Seiya walks a path carved from vengeance and revelation. The world that cast him aside will either bow before him…

Or become ash beneath his feet.

Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos

With what little strength remained, Hayne grasped Seiya's clothes, his fingers trembling as his wide eyes remained locked on Seiya who continued advancing casually like he couldn't sense the ominous presence surrounding them.

Or… could he truly not sense it? Hayne wondered, recalling his uncle's words about Seiya having no presence. Could that anomaly affect his ability to perceive others' spiritual presence as well? Including one so dark that it even left him paralyzed?

As they ventured deeper into the cavern's darkness, the malignant energy only grew denser, pressing down on Hayne's chest and making it hard for him to breathe—each one a struggle.

They soon advanced into a spacious chamber, illuminated by the flickering glow of wooden torches—its brightness, a stark contrast to the darkness they had been navigating a while ago.
