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

"Pack this too—you might need it," his father, Roskaris, stated before putting a few more potion vials into a dimensional pocket ring and handing it to Neraxis as he departed.

"Isn't this too much?" Neraxis voiced out, checking the contents of the ring.

There were hundreds of flasks, thousands of vials, and even more debit cards scattered all around—each one more fancy-looking than the next.

"Eh, don't worry about it," Roskaris said with a shrug. "We have a lot to spare, and, if needed, you can always buy more."

Suddenly, he leaned in and whispered, "Also... can you tell me where you got those weird potions that make Sophia look... You know?"

"..." Neraxis was speechless, but nonetheless answered, "Emma's potions... It's a small shop in the nearby mall."
