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

"Huh? You two sure stink of sweat," Aella's mother said as she walked through the door, seeing the two sitting on the couch.

She looked around until her gaze finally landed on the now glowing red ring near the heat-resistant table.

"Oooh! You guys made something together? How cute." She walked over, slipped the ring on, and admired it with wide eyes.

"It's a perfect fit. Thanks, Aella, dear."

"...No problem, Mom. Did you need something?" Aella asked awkwardly.

After all, she had a pillow over Neraxis to hide his boner and had only barely managed to put on her dress in time.

Even then, it was still completely see-through, but better than nothing as even her mother did not mind.

"Dinner, silly. I told you to take this boy—" she glanced at Neraxis. "What's your name?"

"My name's Neraxis... Ma'am," he replied stiffly, and she nodded back with a smile.
