📢 DING! [First Mission Complete!]

➡️ Reward obtained: +10% Intimidation and a free "Sinister Laugh" skill.

Leonel sat frozen on his throne.

That worked?!

Around him, his "followers" were cheering like crazy.

— "HIS FIRST EVIL DECLARATION! WE ARE BLESSED!"

— "The master has returned in full power!"

— "GLORY TO LORD NIGHTSHADE!"

Leonel blinked.

"…These people are idiots."

📢 DING! [New Mission: Choose Your First Villainous Scheme!]

➡️ Suggested Options:

Invade a village and spread chaos.Steal food from a child to prove your cruelty.Declare dominion over an entire kingdom!

Leonel's eye twitched.

"THESE ARE TERRIBLE OPTIONS!"

He immediately tried to refuse the mission.

📢 DING! [Refusal detected. Applying penalty…]

— "WAIT—"

📢 DING! [Auto 'Malevolent Gaze' Activated.]

His eyes suddenly glowed red and a dark aura surrounded him.

His followers GASPED.

— "HE'S SUMMONING HIS DARK ENERGY!"

— "THIS IS THE SIGN OF A GREAT EVIL SCHEME COMING!"

— "WE MUST PREPARE!"

Leonel covered his face with his hands.

"This system is the worst."

He had to think fast.

Fine. If he had to pick a "villainous scheme"… he'd choose something harmless.

He stood up, raised his hand, and declared:

— "Our first step will be…"

His followers held their breath.

— "TO TAKE CONTROL… OF EVERY BAKERY IN THE KINGDOM!"

Silence.

Leonel smirked. "Nice. No one gets hurt, and I get free bread."

📢 DING! [Mission Accepted! You are now the #1 Enemy of the Baker's Guild!]

Leonel's smile vanished.

"…The WHAT?!"

Just then, a messenger burst into the room.

— "SIR! The Baker's Guild heard your declaration of war! They're coming to attack with hardened breadsticks and explosive croissants!"

Leonel buried his face in his hands.

"This is going to be a nightmare."
