Urban Plundering: I Corrupted The System! - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: New Features— The THIRD Sibling
Honestly? The new system features weren’t anything crazy. No reality-breaking cheat codes, no “God Mode” unlock. Just some upgrades Levi had slapped on like she was updating a damn phone app.

First off, the name changed.

[Ding! System name updated to Urban Plundering!]

Parker sighed. Here we go.

Levi was always doing some weird shit. This was the same system he’d been using since day one, but now she was rebranding like a damn tech startup.

“Urban Plundering?” he muttered. “What, are we running a cyberpunk crime syndicate now?” Levi didn’t bother explaining. She never did when she knew she was being ridiculous on purpose.

Whatever. Moving on.

Next was something called the Sentient Bond. Which, in theory, sounded cool. In practice? It just meant Levi had decided to stop pretending to be a robotic voice and was now fully committing to being the annoying best friend who never shut up.

This had started happening even before his awakening, but at least back then she’d tried to keep her opinions quiet. Now? She was free to be as loud, dramatic, and insufferable as she wanted inside his head.

And because the universe had a twisted sense of humor, she wasn’t just a system—she was a part of something bigger. Not fully, but enough to be mysterious as hell. Yeah. That was a whole other mess he wasn’t dealing with today.

Then came Resonance Detection, which sounded super fancy but was about as useful as a waterproof towel.

[Ding! Resonance Detection unlocked! The system can now detect the true nature of someone or something in disguise!]

Parker blinked. Then blinked again.

“…Levi.”

[Yes, Master?]

“…You do realize I can already do that, right?”

[But now the system can do it too!]

A pause. Then:

“…And what exactly does that help with?”

[Efficiency!]

Parker exhaled slowly through his nose. “Levi. I have storm-gray eyes that see through all disguises. I have past life memories—granted, only 10%, but still. I don’t need an extra pair of eyes telling me what I already know.”

[But what if you forget to check?]

“Forget? Levi. Do you hear yourself?”

[…Yes, actually. That’s part of the new Sentient Bond!]

He closed his eyes. Counted to three. Decided violence was not the answer.

Whatever. Moving on.

Now, while those two updates were peak useless, the next batch? Finally something actually worth his time.

For someone who was both an awakened prince and a billionaire, Parker wasn’t really into anything overly magical or fancy. He Parker wasn’t the type to get all wide-eyed over magical nonsense. If it wasn’t cool and simple, he didn’t care

Which is why his latest system upgrade was… yeah.

[Ding! Hidden stats unlocked! Fate, Luck, and Halo! Master can now view these stats on his appraisal targets!]

Oh. Well. That was magical. But same thing. Nothing to stress over.

[Ding! Correction! Master can’t view these three stats on his own status. The system isn’t capable!]

Ah. There it was.

Parker barely reacted. “Yeah, figured.”

At this point, expecting the system to keep up with him was like expecting a goldfish to do calculus. Ever since his awakening, there were things about him it simply couldn’t fathom—his Fate, for example. The system loved to act like it was the all-knowing authority, gatekeeping information like it was running some exclusive VIP club. But Parker? He wasn’t just on the list—he had already surpassed the damn bouncer.

Still, Fate, Luck, and Halo? That had some potential. The world was about to become his playground.

[Correction! Multiverse, not just the world!]

Parker exhaled. “Levi, you’re being extra again.”

Curled up lazily on his shoulder, Erebus flicked her tail and rolled her eyes. These two were insufferable.

“Can you at least stop projecting your voice in my head if the conversation isn’t something I’m actually involved in?”

Levi’s silence carried just a hint of guilt.

[Ding! New Function Unlocked!]

Parker rubbed his temples. “Here we fucking go.”

[Ding! Cashback+! System will now provide cashback not only in money but in properties as well!]

He blinked. Okay. That one actually made him pause.

“Wait, hold on. You’re telling me if I spend money, I might randomly get a piece of real estate?”

[Yes, Master!]

Parker smirked. “Nice trick, Levi. Just don’t do anything stupid like—” He hesitated. “Actually, knowing you, I’ll probably end up with a bookstore just for buying coffee at a damn café.”

[Actually, Master—]

His eyes narrowed. “You are gonna do that.”

[No, no! I was going to say this only applies to bigger purchases. The system doesn’t know how to offer something small.]

Parker scoffed. “Oh yeah? Tell that to the Cheap Glasses still sitting in my inventory. Completely useless.”

Ere let out a long, suffering sigh, tail flicking with irritation.

Parker just knew this was about to spiral into something ridiculous.

He exhaled, tilting his head back for a second before rolling out his shoulders. He was almost done with the pressing matters, but there were still two things left on his list.

The first? Plunder.

His only real superpower. The one thing that had carried him through eight lifetimes now to the last one. And yet, despite using it over and over, he still hadn’t truly sat down to unravel every inch of its potential. Not because he didn’t want to—hell no—but because there had always been something more urgent standing in the way.

And then there was the other thing.

His birthright.

Parker wasn’t just anyone. He was an Original Prince. Not just some run-of-the-mill royal bloodline nonsense.

He was Prince Nyxilith. The Prince of Existence.

And more than that—he was HER son—the last of the THREE siblings! And—

Yeah. That came with a fuck-ton of benefits.

But was Parker in a hurry to start unboxing that particular nightmare?

Hell. No.

Because the full knowledge of what it meant to be Nyxilith wasn’t something he could just skim through like a Wikipedia page. It was too much for his current, still-chaotic mind.

And if he tried?

He might just break.

Literally.

“I’ll check it out after I sort my head out,” Parker muttered, rubbing his temple. “If I force it, I’ll end up a damn vegetable for a week or worse. Yeah—hard pass.”

His mind was already fragmented as hell. The sheer weight of his past lives, his evolving abilities, and his shifting existence—it was a lot. Trying to unlock it all at once? That would be like jump-starting a high-performance engine that had just been pulled out of deep freeze.

Unstable. Unpredictable. And just waiting to blow a gasket.

And that wasn’t even the worst part.
