Adrian Barba Saint Seiya

Betrayed. Destroyed. Forgotten. Adrian Cross had everything—wealth, power, and a company he built from the ground up. But when his closest allies turned against him, he lost it all in a single night. Left for dead, he vanished, while his greatest enemy reaped the rewards of his downfall. But some men don’t stay buried. When Adrian returns, he’s not the same man who once played by the rules. He’s colder, sharper, and dangerously calculated. A hidden force seems to be working against him, twisting fate itself in his enemy’s favor. But Adrian doesn’t believe in curses—only in vengeance. Now, with secrets darker than betrayal and a city that no longer knows his name, Adrian will reclaim everything that was stolen from him. And this time, he won’t just take back his empire—he’ll burn those who wronged him to the ground. Because the dead don’t seek justice. They demand retribution.

Un bon à rien disparu depuis trois ans a enfin fait son retour ! Il a hérité avec succès de pouvoirs anciens qui défient les cieux ! Doué en techniques médicales et en sorts, la ville était à sa merci—tout lui était favorable !

—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. _______________________________ Read the Prologue next for better understanding of the world settings.
