Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text:

[Task Failed Successfully!]

[Rating Generated: SSS-Rank]

"The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange.

Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back.

The only girl he loved stood behind him.

She betrayed him.

The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt.

"You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life.  
 
But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death.  

However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges.

"Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning.

*****
100 Golden tickets = 1 Extra Chapter | Limit = 4 Per Week (400 Golden Tickets)
200 Power Stones = 1 Extra Chapter | Limit = 3 Per Week (600 Power Stones)

The way this would work is, every single Monday, I would release the extra chapters in accordance with the goals reached. EVERY WEBNOVEL MONDAY RESET. (0:00 GMT+8)

If all goals are broken each week, you will have a 7-chapter mass release every single Monday.

If the weekly mass release goals are broken continuously, I will adjust the goals accordingly. If the book becomes very popular, I might even increase the limit.

The SSS Ranked Villain's Return

"Huh? The monster didn't emit any mana?" Raeny said, poking its dead corpse a couple of times with a confused look.

However, that was not the time for such thoughts—things had gotten a bit too serious.

"Move back," Neraxis said in a cold voice, slightly startling the others.

Aella noticed his behavior and frowned before walking up to him. "What's up?"

Instead of humoring her, he merely pointed in the direction of the boss monster—particularly at the fact that it was staring right at them.

And from the looks of it, the monster had known they were there for quite some time.

It used a summon to draw us out... Neraxis grumbled inwardly. A monster queen had the handy ability to create offspring, and at the same time, it could craft them purely out of mana.

That also meant that, aside from direct offspring, obtaining mana from a living monster was simply not feasible.
