—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

The demon's raging and sorrowful wails came to an abrupt stop, eyes dimming as life seeped out of her. Her head dipped as her body went cold, lifeless.

The impact left behind a large gaping hole—that opened wide from chest, reaching almost her navel.

The pillars of blood descending fiercely upon Seiya came to an abrupt halt just above Seiya's head, mere inches away. It liquified, pouring over Seiya and bathing him.

Seiya's hand loosened, letting the demon drop to the ground with a thud. "That's 4 down," he muttered, throwing his head back as he panted softly, feeling the warm breeze that brushed cold against his face—the thick blood dripping over his form.

From within, Kaeliyus felt relieved, finally able to take a breather after so long.

My Lord, he began softly. Would you be lenient enough to permit I change form?
