My Evil System

What do I do now? I thought and watched as everyone was dispersing. Some were looking for companions or anyone that was a familiar face, while others joyfully skip towards the unknown in high spirits with a face shining brightly like the sun.

Ah . . . the power of youth.

It was still in the middle of the morning, and I didn't know what to do exactly. Should I go together with a group? It was safer that way. But I didn't know anyone here except Amara.

Should I go and approach her? Maybe she would recognize me?

Speaking of which, there were already tons of males asking her to join their group. I think it would be dangerous for a girl like her to be wandering alone.

I decided to approach her and removed my hood.

"Hello, Amara. Remember me?" I asked, trying to make my smile more natural as I ignored the many daggered stares thrown my way.

Amara looked me dead in the eyes, and I was stunned, speechless when she batted her eyelids and flipped her hair.

"I don't."

". . ."

The others snickered while some pushed me away to get closer to her.

Well . . . it was expected since it was a long time ago. I was different back then. She probably couldn't recognize the once handsome youth who she asked to get her magic pencils in return of a promise to go out with him. But in the end, she went out with his best friend instead.

<A New Side Quest appeared!>

<A New Main Quest appeared!>

I grumbled under my breath before I moved away from the crowds and checked the system's quest.

Rather how do I turn off the notification of this thing?

W-wha . . . what's with this ridiculous quest?

<Host's ugly appearance is a hindrance to the path of becoming an Evil Overlord, the greatest Villain there is!>

<To make every woman swoon at your beauty while the men bleed their hearts out from jealousy, you must restore your youthful, handsome appearance by buying the Handsome Elixir in the Evil System Shop and become the most unrivaled man enough to break all women and men's hearts with a wink. *wink>

". . ."

Are you kidding me?

<A New Menu became accessible!>

❶ Handsome Elixir

- This handsome elixir is a mighty potent potion that would bring back your youth and enhance your appearance like that of a God!

WARNING!

If you're not prepared to be stalked, threatened, or possibly killed by the ladies' affection, then do not – in any circumstances – drink this potion!

It is forever . . .

Cost:

100,000 Evil Points

‖ E N D ‖

Wew . . . I breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that it was expensive, or else I would have bought it with the promise of being handsome.

. . . Wait! Don't be lured by it!

But its description was pretty much exaggerated. There was no way that my appearance would make the ladies go 'gaga' on me.

Maybe I should save Evil Points and buy it?

. . . NO! Do not be tempted by it! It couldn't be anything but evil!

<Host's struggles are the first sign in the path of becoming an Evil Overlord, the greatest Villain there is!>

<Host's struggles are only temporary, but temptation is forever. Embraced your inner evilness, and you will have a smooth life for the rest of your days.>

Oh, shut up!

I took another head turn in Amara's way and found that men no longer surrounded her. She had joined a group of women, and they set off onwards. At least I could breathe easy knowing that she was in a group.

<Host's must be excited to break her heart in front of those women.>

<Congratulations! You're one step closer to being a Handsome Evil Overlord, the greatest Villain there is!>

Stop putting words in my mouth!

I sighed through my nose and ignored it. I still didn't know what I would do.

<Host could grind for drops or explore the nearest village and town.>

<Though you need a letter first before you can enter any towns and cities.>

Huh? Letter?

<These letters are usually issued by a village chief or mayor.>

Oh, like an identification paper?

<A New Side Quest appeared!>

My heart hammered against my chest at that ominous sound.

. . . Something tells me that I wouldn't like its contents.

Could I not just ask him nicely? Why would I need to extort him?!

<The system is providing Host with options for a faster and efficient transaction with bigger rewards. It's one of its many advantages.>

How is that efficient and advantageous?!

I shook my head and swiped my fingers in the air. My menu screen appeared, and I checked the map. The nearest village to my location was Euclid Village.

I decided to go there to check it out. I was hungry, and I planned to eat there as well.

In RPG games, they usually have inns in villages and towns.

Maybe I would rest the night there as well. Feeling optimistic, I set out to my first adventure.
