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

"Eclipse," a skinny man called out, his clothes mirroring those Neraxis wore.

It was a simple, tight black bodysuit, perfect for covert operations.

And currently, that was what they were on.

"Peashooter, same plan as usual." Neraxis stated firmly. "That piss-stain Daniel promised to scout it out for us but got sidetracked by some woman."

"That's Daniel for you..." Peashooter replied with a sigh.

Neraxis had lost count of how many missions he'd been on already, yet his progress was anything but slow.

But since he didn't have much time, he'd go over it later.

Despite this being a suicide mission, he'd promised Amara he wouldn't be late to her cooking lessons.

This was a simple mission on the outside—infiltrate a warehouse, kill someone, get out.

The only problem with that was the fact that this entire thing was a setup.
