--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

Even though he couldn't truly see this Neraxis's past, he decided to explore the world for the time being.

If everyone hated him, then there had to be some sort of reason... aside from the fact that he killed William, Aurelia, and her mother.

And then there was one very serious kill—her dog. Even if he was evil, he would never directly kill a dog.

Still... this really is a clusterfuck. I don't know how to clear this trial either.

The objective said he just had to face the shadows of his past and survive them. So far, he was doing a good job, or so he thought.

However, as he glanced around the crowd of people, he realized that they shared the same fear that the person back in Argon did.
