--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.

The SSS Ranked Villain's Return

"See you tonight, Neraxis," Celina said with a soft smile, waving goodbye as he closed the door behind her.

And now, he was left all alone, with the exception of Elara, who was blasting music upstairs.

Picking up the phone, he read the message she sent.

<Amara: You're needed for an emergency mission, duration should be around 6 hours depending on how fast you work. For further information, put on your mask, I will transport you shortly.>

Neraxis stepped into his room, took out his mask from Evangeline's storage, and put it on.

Immediately, his vision shifted, and he soon appeared before the round table where most of the other members should be gathered.

However, this time, there was only Amara, who sat on the table, idly swinging her legs.

"Fifth Veil," she nodded at him. "There's been a situation that developed in one of our territories, and I want you to eliminate any disturbances."
