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

With that, Neraxis was the first to step through the blood puddle. Immediately, he reappeared in front of some giant castle, one he only vaguely recognized.

For certain reasons, Delta had never let him see the outside of this place, but now, it was there on full display.

It was a problem since now the Eternal Sin could technically find them. Then again, he wasn't exactly the most alive right now.

Nonetheless, Neraxis looked at the towering spires and thick stone walls that surrounded the castle.

It was menacingly open and old. However, he knew better than anyone that the inside was much more dangerous.

Though, it's a little sad to see Marcus like that. I didn't know him well, but he's still one of the people who originally greeted me, Neraxis thought, trailing off. I guess he's not dead on the outside though.
