Chapter 4. My System Upgraded!

Harry's mind roamed to so many scenarios to grasp and process this extraordinary thing that was happening to him. He checked his phone to make sure the money had been reflected in his bank account and the smile that crept up on his face made the cashier take a step back.

‘Oh yeah!’ Harry thought to himself that he had over $17,500 in his bank account, which was more than he had ever had in his life.

Harry didn't even realize that the system had added a new feature, it sank in a second after checking his balance.

‘Wait, what? Harem function?’ Harry thought to himself. He didn't need to verbalize his thoughts as the system got the hint that he was ignorant of whatever this is and began to explain what it was.

[The harem function allows the user to get women into his harem by gaining their affection. A special cashback bonus is given in addition to the cashback granted by the system tier with each amount spent on the women within the user's harem.]

Harry was perplexed by this, he thought this was all about money but he just found out there's a way to earn even more.

‘God damn!’ Harry thought to himself, to everyone else he was staring at the cashier and making funny faces.

"Um, are you okay sir?" The cashier finally questioned, snapping Harry back to reality.

Harry immediately remembered that he was in public and quickly regained composure, his items were packaged for him and he handed Melissa the items he bought for her.

Harry looked at his Cyan screen and pressed the [YES] button so the draw could begin, he noticed that he had something called Extreme Lottery and hoped it was something worthwhile otherwise it would be a waste.

[Congratulations! You have drawn Extreme Memory Recollection!]

[Extreme Memory Recollection: This user has the ability to recollect in vivid details every information or events experienced right down to the most insignificant details.]

[Congratulations! You have drawn Vehicular Pro!]

[Vehicular Pro: The user is an innate master of operating vehicles. Be it cars, bikes, or even planes!]

[Congratulations! You have drawn a Lexus ES!]

[The Lexus ES: The user owns an exotic car! It can be found in the driveway of this Apple store!]

[Congratulations! You have drawn Savour Agency!]

[Savour Agency: The user is now the owner of a small modelling Agency in Crestview! It is promising and has the potential to be among the best! The necessary documents can be found in your car alongside the address!]

Harry had the biggest smile on his face, he couldn't remember the last time he was this excited. His life was turning around in the blink of an eye and he wasn't about to question it.

Harry walked out of the store and the only car that looked out of place was the Lexus ES and it was easy to locate.

The car key spawned within his pocket.

Harry ran to the car but not before someone tugged at his shirt, Harry looked back and realized that it was Melissa.

She gave him her number on a piece of paper but she couldn't even hold his gaze. Harry noticed her colleagues giggling at the back as he realized that they were probably the ones who urged her to make this bold move to give him her number.

[Harem Members: 1/2]

[Name: Melissa.]

[Age: 20

[Affection: 5%]

Harry stopped in his tracks and spared her another glance only to see her stealing a glance at him before averting her gaze once again.

The system not only told him women that are interested in him so he didn't need to guess but it also granted him items that spawned in real time.

This felt unreal, if this was black magic, Harry hoped the witch or wizard who cast it wouldn't stop because he was just getting started.

Harry wanted to check out the property that he had acquired, opening the door to his car and the new car smell hit his nostrils.

"Now that's a brand new car!" Harry thought, luckily, he still had a driver's license due to one of the jobs he had gotten before getting a scholarship to study Accounting at Crestview University. It involved delivering packages in the city, but wasn't a good driver.

But thanks to the skill Harry acquired through his system, he could drive the car with relative ease

He instantly knew how to operate it but he first needed to find the documents of the agency he now owned and just as he suspected, it was there.

Everything was signed and official in his name.

*******

"Damn it, this agency blows hard! I pitied you guys and I chose you to represent me and for months now I haven't had a half-decent gig!" A voluptuous lady barked at a woman with a clipboard who just stared at her blankly from her desk.

"Ms Thorne, the lack of jobs isn't because of our inability to find jobs for you, I think it is time for you to consider actual acting classes…" The lady replied with a blank expression, clearly unimpressed by what she saw.

"You nasty bitch! I am a natural born talent like Gigi Hadid!" The lady continued to bark, prompting the woman to take a deep breath to stop herself from laughing.

Before she had the chance to reply, one of her employees came into her office and pulled her aside.

"What is it?" The lady asked in a dismissive tone, the truth about this was that this agency was about to go under, they were barely floating above water as people would rather choose the more established agencies.

"Miss Susan, I have great news!" The employee responded, she was giddy and Susan could instantly tell that it might be something worth listening to.

"Speak Rita, I'm busy he..!" But before Susan could complete her sentence, Rita interfered by showing her an email she just received on her laptop.

Susan's face went from neutral to genuinely surprised, she immediately snatched the device out of her hand.

“Wait! What!? Someone bought all the agency’s shares? This agency?! That means—!” Susan gasped, then quickly covered her mouth.

"We are out of the woods, boss!" Rita responded.

"Are you done!? I have places to be!" Ms Thorne rudely said and Susan realized at this moment that she didn't need to put up with her anymore.

She turned her gaze towards the lady, she had to tolerate her before because they needed all the money they could get but that problem had been solved by some God sent.

"I am afraid you're no longer qualified to be represented by this agency, you will be refunded your agency fees. Leave or I will throw you out myself, you delusional fat bitch," Susan felt the weight lift off her chest the moment she said this, she had wanted to say this for the longest time.

She was aware that in situations like this, the new shareholder could arrive any minute to at least see the agency, so she hurried to get the place ready to receive him.

  • Chapter 528. The System, Reconsidered

    The system's presence had always felt different from anything else in Harry's life, less like a voice and more like a pressure behind his eyes that resolved itself into meaning once he stopped fighting it. He hadn't summoned it deliberately in weeks, not since the island, not since it had given him everything it had left and gone quiet and spent in the aftermath. He wasn't even sure it would answer.It answered.[You called.]"I need to ask you something," Harry said, alone in his room, door locked, feeling faintly ridiculous the way he always did talking to something that lived somewhere behind his own thoughts. "About the Guardian tier. About what it actually was, out there."[A narrowed function. Protection only. No accumulation, no leverage, no return. You asked for something to keep people alive, and I gave you the smallest version of myself that could answer that specific need.]"Can it be permanent?" Harry asked. "Not the rest of it. Not the wealth stuff, not the harem trackin

  • Chapter 527. Why I Needed It

    Harry sat on the back porch with a cup of coffee going cold in his hands, watching the sun come up over a neighborhood that had no idea what had happened on an island a few hundred miles away, no idea how close things had come to going a different way. He'd been doing this most mornings since he got back. Sitting. Thinking. Trying to sort through everything that had happened before the day made him move and act like a person who had his life together. He kept coming back to the system. What it used to be. What it had become out there when it mattered. For years, the system had meant money. Rebates on his own emotional labor, cashback on kindness he barely had to fake anymore, a strange economy built entirely around making his life bigger and softer and easier. He'd used it to build an empire out of nothing, and somewhere in the middle of all that wealth he'd lost track of what any of it was actually for. It had felt, for a long time, like the whole point of having power was simp

  • Chapter 526. What Happened to Me

    Dr. Gail's office had a window that looked out over a parking lot, nothing special about the view, and Harry found himself staring at it anyway during the long stretches where he couldn't make himself talk."You don't have to fill the silence," Dr. Gail said, the third session in, when Harry had spent most of the hour saying almost nothing at all. "A lot of people think therapy means talking constantly. Sometimes it just means being somewhere safe long enough to notice what's actually there.""What's there is a mess," Harry finally said."Tell me about the mess, then. However it comes out."He told her about the sound of the shot first, because that was the part that came back to him most, sharper than the memory of pulling the trigger itself. The crack of it across the water. The way Tyrone had gone down like something had simply switched off inside him."I don't regret doing it," Harry said, careful, like the words might mean something different depending on how he arranged them. "I

  • Chapter 525. Kathryn Closes the Case

    Kathryn had been chasing this case long before Harry ever knew her name. He learned that properly for the first time sitting across from her in a diner booth that smelled like burnt coffee, watching her turn a folder over in her hands like she wasn't quite ready to open it in front of him. "Six years," she said finally. "Six years of wealthy men going missing, and everyone telling me to let it go because none of the families wanted the attention, or the money made the disappearances look like choices instead of crimes. Six years of being told I was chasing shadows." "You weren't," Harry said. "You were the only one who saw it." "I was the only one who couldn't stop seeing it," Kathryn said. "There's a difference. Half the department thought I'd lost the plot. My captain pulled me off it twice. I kept working it anyway, on my own time, because every time I tried to file it away, I'd see one more name that fit the same pattern and I couldn't make myself walk past it." She opened the

  • Chapter 524. Desmond Cole's Family

    Harry found out Desmond's last name from a folder Kathryn handed him without being asked, like she understood he needed it and would never manage to ask for it himself. Desmond Cole. Thirty eight years old. Two tours before he came home and started doing private security work, the kind that paid well because it was supposed to be safe, the kind that had gotten him hired onto a job that turned out to be nothing like what he signed up for.He had a wife. Her name was Renee. And a daughter, seven years old, named Iris.Harry sat with that folder open on his kitchen table for a long time before he could make himself do anything with it.He didn't know what right he had to show up at a dead man's door. He hadn't known Desmond long, only the length of the island, only the length of a handful of days that felt now like they belonged to some other, longer life. But Desmond had shielded them from gunfire that should have found Harry instead, had put his body between danger and people he'd kn

  • Chapter 523. Sophie and Elena

    Harry checked himself out of the hospital two days earlier than the doctors wanted, mostly because the beeping of the monitors had started to sound too much like a countdown to something, and he needed to be somewhere that didn't feel like waiting. Melissa didn't argue with him about it. She just packed his things while he signed the forms with a hand that still wasn't entirely steady, and drove him home without asking any of the questions he could see sitting behind her eyes. It was three days after that when he finally worked up the nerve to visit Sophie. Her mother answered the door, and for a second neither of them said anything at all. Then she pulled him into a hug so tight it nearly folded him in half, and he heard her say thank you into his shoulder, over and over, until the words stopped sounding like language and just became sound, raw and grateful and a little broken. "She's out back," her mother finally said, wiping her face with the back of her hand. "She talks about
