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

"Danger? Yes." Violet nodded. "What will you do once he finally awakens as the Eternal Sin?"

"He won't." Evangeline shook her head. "And if he does, then I'll kill the Eternal Sin myself."

"Ha? You? Kill the Eternal Sin? Pfft..." Violet held back a laugh as she stared at Evangeline in amusement.

Before she could mock her further, Neraxis cleared his throat and spoke up.

"The Eternal Sin wants a replacement for his guardian position, right?" Neraxis said plainly. "He wants me to grow strong enough so the world can remain intact. As for him? He'll reawaken after his main body gets enough nourishment."

The moment his words fell, a deathly silence ensued. Yet it was soon interrupted by a laugh from Evangeline.

"Hahahah, yeah. Serves you right lip-filler."

Violet sighed and placed a hand on her cheek, then tilted her head.
