=== WSA 2025 ===

Way, way, and very way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals.

And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army.

Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too.

My Talent's Name Was Generator.

Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like.

So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me?

Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back.

I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

I stepped out of the pool, took a deep breath, and scanned the treeline. 


Violet light pulsed from my chest as Essence flowed out in sharp bursts, responding to my will. 


My body hummed with power, the pressure around me thickening. It didn't take long for the Essence to fully cycle.


With a nod to myself, I rushed forward, deeper into the woods. I didn't bother to hide my presence. In fact, I made it obvious. I wanted attention, just not in the place Ana was hiding.


The forest grew darker as I progressed, the trees denser, the air thicker. The sound of insects and distant growls accompanied me until I paused, hearing a distinct rustle.


The ground vibrated. A moment later, the creatures emerged from the shadows.
