The next morning, Rizzete woke up to a noticeable groggy feeling comparing to the day before.

'Well what was I expecting? Halving my VIT actually make me feel fucking gross in the morning.'

She got out of bed tiredly and started stretching.

'Since it said my stats only halves outside of the Trials, I guess I'll do some training then.'

She got cramps for the entirety of the following day.

'I guess I went overboard without knowing my new limits.'

But of course, it resolved itself the day after that.

*6 months later*

After training like a mad girl for the last few months, Rizzete has somehow regained all her lost stats... by forcing her body and mind to go above and beyond... way too beyond... in fact, when she got Finn to join in, he went on an escort quest the next day, definitely just a quest, not because he was scared, not at all. What are you talking about? Scared? Pfft. Anyways, she decided to attempt the Second Trial again and also check if the penalty stacks if she couldn't complete it in under 10 Tower years.

[Entering Tower of Trials 2F]

[Trial of Interaction]

[According to the conditions, the Status Penalties will be temporally lifted during the Trial]

Immediately she got to work.

'Woah, much faster than before!'

*2000- I mean 10 years later*

'Haa~ Still not enough huh?'

[You have given up on this Trial]

[Any progress up until this point will be discarded]

[All skill effects will be halved outside of this Trial]

[All stats will be halved outside of this Trial]

[Due to previous Second Trial Penalties, current ones will double the effect]

[Effects will be removed when you completed the Trial]

'It DOES stack...'

"Ku..."

The eerie laugh was back.

"Kukukukukuku..."

Luckily there were no one living outside the Tower.

"KUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

In a fit of maniacal laugh, she somehow breached the spatial barrier between the Tower dimension and the rest of the world, and her laughs echoed out, bringing goosebumps to everyone, even the newly Awakened Fiend Emperor.

"Bruuuhuhuhuhhhh... What was that sound?"

Back to Rizzete, she spammed entering and leaving the Tower to get her stats as low as possible, then she went back to the dorm, extremely tired.

'Haa~ Just what I get for reducing my stats too much.'

[You have used a loophole in the system to your advantage. The 'THE Exploiter' title will be awarded.]

'Tomorrow~'

With that, she drifted to sleep.
