--WSA 2025 ENTRY--

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.

This is no laughing matter. I have ten minutes to kill all these monsters, as well as the Ogre, but I— He suddenly froze as he remembered one of his skill effects.

Crimson Sovereignty's third skill effect, Blood Sovereignty, allowed him to create blood constructs, and it did not specify a limit.

Therefore, Neraxis immediately turned toward the pile of corpses scattered in the middle of the arena and used that skill.

Soon, the blood began levitating off the ground and quickly formed into a single blob.

The moment that happened, Neraxis felt as though he had complete control over the levitating blood and, without waiting further, imagined the blood pooling itself into the shape of goblins.

He was shocked at the rate at which it was forming, since in just a few seconds, it was all over.
