Evil Village Blueprint?
Tokens?
What's that?
<In this world, numerous blueprints and tokens will help Host and the others build your very own village, town, or even a kingdom!>
<But of course, you need resources, manpower, and enough items to build and operate one.>
<Tokens summon . . . beings that will help you managed your soon to be Kingdom. There are 7 Grades available. From the highest to lowest, SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D. The higher the grade the more proficient/capable they are.>
<But for now, Host needs a base of operation for his evil deeds, and when you acquire enough ATP, blueprints, tokens, items, and minions, you can build a Kingdom and dominate everyone!>
. . . Did you ever consult me if I wanted to build one or not? Why would I even bother building a kingdom and managing its complex inner operations if I could hardly get anything done like getting a letter?
<Host doesn't see the brilliant plan laid out for you by the system. But in the future, you'll realize that the system is what your heart's desire.>
. . . I knew my heart, and I doubt it wanted to be evil and build a tyrannical kingdom that would destroy everything.
I'd rather farm and live my days in idleness.
<If that is Host wanted, then the only way to live an idle life is not succumbing to the influence of a much stronger force.>
<Host needs to become stronger and evil to repel every power that came his way if you wanted to laze away in a farm filled with your evil minions!>
I waved my hands and chuckled. Ain't gonna happen.
I was sure I could live somewhere secluded in peace with my family while the others were busy grinding, exploring this world, and search for a way out.
But first, I needed to find out if they were really in here . . . and alive.
System, how would I know that my family is here?

Could you not just tell me if they're here?
<Error>
I sighed.
At this point, even a mission would be nice so that I wouldn't search for them blindly.
<A New Main Quest appeared!>
*sigh . . .

I didn't even want to ask about that quest.
<Getting Host's first minion is a start to finding your family. You can designate them multiple tasks while you do other things. They're very handy, especially in world domination!>
I do agree about the extra pair of hands and disagree with everything else.
I rubbed my chin. Maybe I should defeat some monsters in the forest and make them my minion?
Come to think of it. Is there a limit to how many minions I could have?
<None. Host could have hundreds of minions while others are restricted with the amount they can have. Being cut above the rest and providing you with the necessary tools to dominate the world is one of the advantages of the system.>
I didn't know whether to be thankful or not.
<No need to be thankful. It's the path you must take to become the– >
I ignored the system and made my way towards the village chief. With that out of the way, the first thing I must do for now was to try if I could converse with the inhabitants here without being kicked to death.
And that letter from the village chief would be handy encased I wanted to go to town.
I made my way to the old man who screamed like a village chief. He was the oldest in the village, and if ever there was a leader, I was sure that it would be him.
It would be nice if this world could display the others' names and HP bar on their head. It would make a lot of things easier. But only the monsters have those on their head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCome to think of it. System can you tell me if that is the village chief?
<Error>
I thought so. It seemed like the system only had a general knowledge of things in this world. Things like the names and backgrounds of the inhabitants were hidden. Not even a character compendium in the main menu or do I have to interact with them first to get their character information stored in my library?
<Host is correct. This world will automatically store all the inhabitants' information you have interacted with within your library. But to get their complete information, your relationship level with them should be higher so they would tell you more about themselves.>
<But you can skip all this hassle and time-consuming things with just the Evil Eye. If Host wanted to know everything, then you should destroy Euclid Village and acquire the Evil Eye.>
My dead eyes looked to the side. It was better to ignore it and move on.
I approached the elder and opened my mouth just in time to hear a conversation from the players not far from me.
"The Village chief is that young man with horse feet and donkey ears with a straw hat?"
"Yeah. I tried asking the old man, but it turned out he was just a beggar asking gill."
"Some of us were duped in thinking that he would give as a quest in turn of gill, but he just kept asking for more money without giving any quests whatsoever."
". . ." Maybe my sense of time faded, and games weren't the same as the old times when the highest authority was given to older people.
I turned and went to the young man with horse feet, hoping that he would talk to me at least and not kick me to my death.
If things get ugly . . . then I'd just have to plan my next move, which was to eat and rest my tired brain.
Talking to the system took up a lot of energy than actually getting acquainted in this world.
Nearing the young man with straw hat and donkey ears, my feet shook. I suddenly had the urge to hurl my food at the fear that he might kick me to death.
*sigh . . . how I really wish that I could see his stats to know if my ATP was enough to even survive a kick from him.
<If Host dies, then the system's effort will surely go to waste.>
What effort are you talking about? You hardly helped me with anything except provide me basic information while forcing me to become this Evil Overlord and whatnot.
<All the resources are laid out for you. All Host have to do is follow thy path to become the Evil Overlord, the Greatest Villain there is!>
Other Isekaid I read were provided with God-tier cheats and items. But mine was a system that was forcing me to become evil in exchange for strength. If this was going to be, I ask that I be just like the others and grind my way to the top.
<Naïve. Host is truly naïve.>
