—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

A chilling sensation coursed down Hayne's spine. His limp hand snapped back up instinctively, gripping Seiya's shoulder as he quivered before the demon—Kaeliyus.

Before setting out for Tokyo, Hayne had thoroughly researched the state of the world. Having been locked away for so long, he knew that much had changed, and no one would sit him down and explain it all. So, while searching for information on the children back in Sendai, he had also studied the balance of power—where the Awakeners stood, the role of the government, the nature of demons, the frequency of gate openings, and the dangers posed by monsters, rogues, and other threats.

He had committed every detail to memory. And yet, why had he failed to recognize the demon standing before him? A being so infamous that his name was spoken like legend?
