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

"Allowed," William said, reading through some type of newspaper.

Yet those words greatly shocked Neraxis.

"What? You're seriously allowing me a week off?"

"You are nothing but a trouble magnet, so a week off for you will benefit the other students immensely." William looked up at him. "There will be a test soon; however, you will be taking it at a later date."

"I see... Sure? I agree to your terms as long as you don't go back on your word." Neraxis nodded, hiding the faint smile forming.

All it took was a simple, "Can I have a week off for personal reasons?" and he was allowed.

"I don't go back on my word most of the time," William said, standing up. "Are you heading into Dreamspire?"

Neraxis tilted his head at William's words. "You figured it out pretty easily. Yes, I'm going to be clearing it."
