—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

As commanded, Kaeliyus called got the villagers lined up in front of Seiya.

"Are these all of them?" Seiya asked softly to Kaeliyus who turned to them and posed the same question.

The villagers gestured toward the intact houses nestled deeper within the village, explaining that some remained locked inside, unwilling to come out amidst the turmoil.

Seiya, who had been hearing their heartbeats, didn't say much. He had only wanted to confirm from their mouth.

"I'll get them right away, my Lord," Kaeliyus said but Seiya shook his head. "I think the life force will locate its owner no matter where they are."

As they stood lined up in front of Seiya, who they now considered their Lord, the villagers trembled slightly, shaken by the weight of their situation and unable to even meet Seiya's eyes—clueless how to act toward him.
