Kyriakos WAS a whole Situation, but the powers-that-be didn't exactly take our skills.
Long story short: A bunch of extremely rude interdimensional horrors called Reapers were unmaking worlds and everything in them. A fragment of Kyriakos survived, and its queen and princess, who were themselves fragments, came up with a (truly well-intentioned but in practice not the best!) plan to save as many people as they could: they'd fish whatever was left of people's souls out of the void, and have those people participate in events to generate energy.
The winners regained a shard of their soul - a memory or a skill. And in the process of rebuilding themselves, their worlds were also rebuilt.
