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

It did not take long for him to arrive back home; however, the urge to lie in bed was strong.

Before he knew it, he had slept for 12 hours, with only a couple more left until it was time to head back to the academy.

Yet there was also something else he could not quite forget, and that was:

[Blue Skill Book Unveiled: Aegis of Eternity {C}]

[Skill Description: A powerful defensive skill that summons an ethereal shield capable of blocking a single incoming attack.]

[Skill Effect (1/1): Eternal Ward (Active): Summons an ethereal shield that absorbs and nullifies all damage from a single incoming attack, regardless of its nature. Cooldown: 12 Weeks.]

Block any attack every three months? Neraxis stared at it in wonder before waving it away.

It was definitely a great skill—one that he would make use of in the future.
