—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 heart soared skyward toward his staff, drawn irresistibly to the upright chain, where it was swept along with the life forces gathered upon it.

The demon's gaze turned up, eyes following the heart till it got stuck on the chain. Realizing that Seiya had beat him to his heart, a small smile played on the demon's lips. "I had always been so far behind in speed," he remarked casually.

Eyes still glued up at the floating staff above, he muttered. "I had been wondering just what exactly was floating so eerily in the sky."

The demon took some few retreating leaps, then extended his hand toward the sky. "Come," he called softly.

Just like it had been when he called upon Seiya's sword, the staff never budged. The demon withdrew his hand, letting it fall gracefully at his side.
