—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

Seiya's hand went up to his collar, gently brushing the imprint. Though he couldn't remember the significance it held or the meaning behind it, he knew he got it from the facility.

Staring down at the imprint, Hayne's eyes held quiet sadness. He knew the meaning of those letters but knowing within him that Seiya doesn't remember, brought him a little solace.

"Sei, do you know what these two lettters mean?" Hayne asked for clarity.

"No," Seiya replied and a small smile played on Hayne's lips. "I see. Good, good," he blurted and Seiya shot him a questioning look but Hayne returned it with only a smile.

Strolling over to the projector, Hayne began. "My papers are already prepared." With a click, he switched it off. "I'll be leaving sooner than I expected—otherwise, my uncle will tattle on me to my parents," he admitted. "But before I go, I want to make sure everything is set in place."
