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.

The SSS Ranked Villain's Return

The two swiftly put on their half masks and, in the very next moment, appeared before the table.

Instead of the full group being here, there was only Amara, with the others occupied with their own tasks.

But that was enough, as after all, she was the leader.

"Once again, good job," Amara commended before pulling out a stack of papers and sending them Sarah's way, saying, "Fill out the report as per usual."

"Yes, Am—First Veil," Sarah replied with a nod, nearly using her actual name here.

What he had found out was that there were certain rules in this place that Amara tried her best to uphold—one of them being the usage of titles, such as the First Veil, to address her.

Amara turned towards Neraxis and signaled with her chin to follow.

He went after her, walking through the throne room, away from the table and into a small room with two sofas facing each other.
