—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

Earlier, when the life forces were separated from the barrier and it shattered, the demons within sensed it at that very instant—an intruder had breached their boundary and stepped into the village.

At once, one of them was dispatched to uncover the identity of the trespasser, or perhaps the group bold enough to accomplish a feat they had believed no human could achieve.

The demon arrived and perched atop a distant roof from where he watched the young boy who had been able to not just break the barrier but had also meticulously separated the villagers' life forces.

The demon watched Seiya from afar, reporting to the other demons every detail of the situation.

"It's just one person," he said, eyes locked on Seiya. "A mere child no less."
