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

Clean kill? Sorry? Neraxis thought inwardly as he watched William clean up the entire mess—even making the smell go away.

"Neraxis," he spoke, "don't do anything like that on academy grounds again. I had a use for him."

Flashing a suspicious look, he continued, "I would love to know how you came to the conclusion that led you to killing him. However, we can save that for later."

"Is that so..." Neraxis grumbled inwardly, finding the situation quite uncomfortable.

It seemed like William had already been aware of the corrupt man—hence why he had allowed him to get this far.

But that was all gone, and all he managed to do was attract even more suspicion onto himself.

However, as he was expecting to receive a nagging, something else happened.

"Are you getting along with Celina?" William's fierce voice rang out, startling him.

The Compensation
