In the City, What the Heck Is This Tyrant System?

I’m in the city, and the System wants me to usurp the throne and plot rebellion.

I spent my past life as a corporate drone. In this life, Chen Luo has stopped caring about everything.

With a tall person at home to rely on, wouldn’t it be better to live comfortably and wait for death?

But then...

Chen Luo gets bound to the Great Tyrant System.

[Host, you are outrageously rebellious and have defied your superiors! You have the makings of a tyrant!]

[Step One to Becoming a Tyrant! Welcome the Retired Emperor]

Chen Luo: ?

This is obviously a modern city. You’re calling me a tyrant?

If I’m already a tyrant, what’s wrong with skipping the steps and rushing straight to the ending?

[Step Two to Becoming a Tyrant! By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor Decrees!]

Sitting in his office chair, Chen Luo looks at the employees below and announces that all the company’s previous rules are abolished, and that every kind of perk will be provided.

[Step Eight to Becoming a Tyrant: Betray Your Allies!]

“Even though we used to be business partners, there’s nothing wrong with me acquiring your company, right?”

Looking at the company’s CEO, Chen Luo speaks earnestly.

[Step Nine to Becoming a Tyrant: Rule with an Iron Fist!]

“Hello, Public Security Bureau? I’d like to set up a fund to fight crime.”

Chen Luo speaks with a sincere expression as he holds his phone.

[Step Ten to Becoming a Tyrant! All Under Heaven Is the Emperor’s Land!]

“Unfinished buildings? Haunted houses? Abandoned urban villages? As long as there’s a deed, I’ll take it.”

Chen Luo walks out of the Urban Development Bureau, looking at the thick stack of transfer agreements in front of him and grinning.

Chen Luo thought that was all there was to it.

But then...
