Chapter 21: The Beans Got Spilled!

  Thud!

  Xena: “Yes, Ruina?” She said, seeing the woman barge into her study, making her System vanish.

  Ruina: “Celia did something absurd again!” She loudly exclaimed.

  With Nemu’s… interesting ploy, Xena couldn’t leave Ruina and her alone. Due to that, Ruina currently lives with Xena in a beautiful modern dimension. Her wife, Nemu, also sleeps in one of the beds of Xena’s nice estate.

  Xena: “…Slow down, please. How can she do anything crazy… when Runey and I specifically took thousands of years, ensuring that all exploits of the System were fixed, before allowing the reset’s final stage to be carried out?” She asked, rubbing her head, already feeling a headache coming on.

  Ruina: “Celia, as a Level 1, gravely injured a Level 375, before a stronger person finished him off.” She explained.

  Xena: “And? She shouldn’t have gotten any Exp in that case, what are you trying to say?” She replied with a confused expression.

  Ruina: “We were too foolish!” She yelled in shock, not answering the Will’s question.

  Xena: “???”

  After twenty minutes, Ruina finally calmed down. You see, regardless of if you were the one to get the last hit on a being that is a far higher Level than yourself, or if you just slightly damaged them, you wouldn’t get the Exp at all.

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  With these security measures, power leveling low Level beings… should have been completely patched out of the System. Unfortunately, Xena and Runey didn’t expect someone to find a hidden exploit with their fixes…

  Xena: “It was… a critical, grave hit?” She said with a thinking pose.

  Ruina: “Yes!” She replied, nodding vigorously.

  Think of it this way, getting cuts, which lower your HP Stat, is something that the System accounts for. But Runey forgot to add grave hits, such as a limb being severed, or a vital point/place being damaged, into the fix.

  Xena: “…Please don’t tell me that her Level shot up to a ridiculous number…” She pleaded, feeling like pure despair.

  Ruina: “Fortunately, I caught a majority of the Exp, taking it for myself. Though it all happened so fast… Celia still managed to reach Level 92.” She denied with a smug tone.

  Xena: “Status.” She immediately said.

  Current EXP: 0/10,000,000.

  Ruina: “( ’-’ ~)”

  Xena: “So… it was an overflow bug as well, huh? Ruina, you evolved before coming to tell me about this, didn’t you?…” She said, her tone grim.

  Ruina: “I…” She got cut off.

  Xena: “Now, apart from me, you’re currently the strongest being in existence, the only High Goddess. Since you admitted to stealing the Exp… I’ll let you off for this. Go, watch Celia, ensure that… nothing else absurd happens.” She added with an annoyed, frustrated tone, shooing Ruina away.

  No sooner than Xena finished speaking, did Ruina dash away, running back to her room. It was only a two hours since she left the sleeping Celia, so all should be fine on that end. Hopefully…
