--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

[Spirit King - Seraphina Montclair, wishes to form a contract with you.]

Yes. Neraxis swiftly accepted, turning to the second text.

[Sun God - Amaterasu Tenko, wishes to form a contract with you.]

He accepted this one as well, and of course, he soon felt a similar connection as the previous time.

It felt a bit different now, since instead of it being a temporary contract, it had now turned into a long-term contract which would only be broken off if both parties agreed or...

Too bad I didn't get any skills though, sharing was a bit weird... Neraxis thought with a sigh.

Evangeline could share her skills freely; however, these two couldn't, so after giving him a skill, they wouldn't have it anymore.

And of course, he didn't want to sabotage his companions, so he simply let them keep their skills.
