—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

Kaeliyus, clad in his usual formal attire, made his way into the Association hall. His eyes, adjusted to a dark brown, fangs hidden and hair well slicked back—giving him an air of a gentle man.

His black coat billowed softly behind him as he advanced toward the lady at the vast reception desk.

"Welcome," the lady smiled, giving a warm nod. "May I please know what your visit today is about?" She asked, maintaining a professional smile and warmth.

Kaeliyus returned the lady's warmth with a bright smile, his expression soft.

"I left my humble abode today to pay someone here a visit," he said in his thick, husky voice—his accent firm.

"And who might that be?" She asked, still smiling.

Kaeliyus' warm smile shifted into a smirk, a low scoff escaping him.

"Akimitsu Enmei," he blurted, voice firm and steady.
