--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.

<Zaria: Are you fucking serious? They want to kill me?>


Alice sighed and replied swiftly. <Alice: Yep... they're jealous of you and Neraxis, so they want to eliminate you here and now. They're apparently self conscious that you're not going to defend them after you and Neraxis get closer since you will always put him first.>


After a moment of silence, Zaria sent another text back.


<Zaria: Well they aren't fucking wrong... but killing? Shit... I need to put my clothes back on, wake up Neraxis, and get the fuck out of here then. Thank you Alice, I'll buy you another chocolate fountain.>


Alice's smile twitched. <Alice: Sure. Have fun. But remember, they can and probably will find you pretty soon, so until then, at least make sure you're not vulnerable.>


<Zaria: Naturally. I've already set up some precautions if the situation had ever turned out this way. I'm just going to activate them now. See you later, Alice.>


With that, Alice put the phone down and leaned against the wall.
