—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

Although Hayne had previously told Seiya about their revenge, he doubted whether Seiya still remembered, given his unstable memory. Still, Hayne was prepared to recount everything if needed.

However, before he could continue, Seiya spoke. "Thought you struck a deal to keep it a secret," Seiya said, taking Hayne by surprise. Not because of his words, but the fact that Seiya recalled it—he was glad.

"Well," Hayne began, a smirk curling on his lips. "The deal was that we bury everything that happened in the dark, which was more advantageous on our part because unlike them, we lack power. Even if we did try to expose them, people with power like them always find a way or two to cover things up, thereby leaving us the only ones in trouble," Hayne explained.
