[Do you still think bringing your sister around was the right thing to do?]

"She is my sister as well as a participant in the War games. I see no harm in having her level up alongside me. In fact, if we earthlings are weak then it would only allow the others to trample us. Now I don't care about what happens to the others, but I'm going to make sure nothing happens to the two of us."

[Right.]

Arnold knew system sama was uncomfortable with Nicole due to Donna. And he was right to be doubtful. Even Arnold didn't trust Donna for a multitude of reasons. But that didn't mean Arnold could've left Nicole on her own, especially after knowing what was going to happen in a year. Still,  it wasn't like Arnold was letting her train mindlessly.

As long as she was in his domain, she was under constant surveillance from either his summons or by him. Over the course of last year, there hadn't been an accident related to her, only then did Arnold decided to take her for a trip inside his private dungeon. That way he could not only monitor her progress but also keep a close eye on her. But more than Nicole and Donna, Arnold was concerned about something else entirely. And he knew it very well that system sama was not going to like his next question at all.

"Um... Has there been any changes in the stats?"

[What? Are you hoping you'll somehow manage to break through the last limit placed on you just like that?]

"I mean one can hope for a miracle..."

[Wanna know what's the miracle? You breaking the limits placed on a mortal and yet be alive, that's a fcking miracle.]

Arnold scratched the back of his head while system sama kept scolding him. It wasn't his fault that he found a loophole in the system and abused it. How was he supposed to know to what extent his stats would increase? He just wanted to be the strongest before the War of the Worlds event took place.

Back when his stats stopped increasing and Arnold was informed that he won't gain any more attribute points for killing the monsters. He used his brains and kept killing the monsters while storing the EXP earned from the kills without increasing his level. As he knew, even though killing the monsters in his private dungeon wouldn't give him additional attribute points, the system would still give him the necessary points after he levelled up. And that's exactly what he did.

Arnold used all of his stored EXP to level up at once. That way, not only did he manage to level up but also gain enough attribute points to increase his stats by a margin even System sama couldn't comprehend. But thanks to that, he wasn't allowed to level up anymore even though he had the necessary EXP to level up. However, his plan in fact worked out too well and he also ended up achieving a title for his deeds.

___

You've achieved a new title! 

Name: [Rule Breaker]

[This is a title exclusive to the human known as ×Arnold Ling×, that he achieved for being the first mortal to have ever tricked a guardian and left alive to tell the tale.]

Effect:

• Increases attribute points gained after levelling up by 3 points

• Increases potential points gained after levelling up by 3 points

___

It was safe to say that he had broken the system to the point system sama had to take control over everything before it came into notice of the other gods.

"Just show me the stats then..." Arnold had a smug look on his face because he knew how annoying it felt to system sama to look at what kind of crap Arnold had pulled.

[Fine.]

"Yup, the stats are broken. Got to admit that much..."

[Just the stats are broken? The rank SS+ shouldn't even exist! There is no rank such as that and yet you somehow have it. What do you think will happen if the gods got wind of this?]

"Who knows? Maybe they'll learn not to mess with me after all?"

[As if they're ever be able to learn anything. Especially those Greek gods, they love messing stuff up. Sometimes even I wonder that maybe it was best for one of them to have you as their vassal considering that you share their hobby of messing stuff too.]

"I apologised already, didn't I?"

System sama went silent. As even if he was pissed, he couldn't do anything to Arnold. In fact, System sama was quite proud that Arnold managed to trick him. But not as proud as when Arnold made the memorial statue that probably became the new sore spot for the Greek gods.

What was so special about that statue, you ask? It wasn't anything great, to be honest. It was just a regular statue of Hercules... being stomped to death by the mortals. Thanks to that statue, the tourism on the memorial island had increased significantly, meaning that Cetus was happy with her new master as well. 

"I should probably get going! I don't want to make Aiden wait for me."
