Chapter 14: The Village Creation
"Hmm... I think this seems good," Uno said as he selected a place to develop his settlement. When Uno was looking for a location for the village. He travels west and south to explore a spot, but it's all grassland, which isn't ideal for the early stages of building a village. He travels north, but the terrain is mountainous. Uno travels east across the forest. Uno decides to head northeast, where he discovers a mountain river that flows into the forest. The mountain river is narrow and flows from north to east. Without airborne help, scaling the peak will be difficult. As a result, Uno chose to establish the settlement down below the mountain. It took Uno 3 hours to scout the entire area.
.
Uno picked an area that is 6 square kilometers distant from the mountain in the north and 2 square kilometers distant from the forest in the east. The south and west are grasslands, so any intruders will be easily detected. Uno chose to be near the forest because the village may require lumber or wood in the future. The mountain to the north can serve as both a natural barrier and a source of stones.
Uno took out the Village Creation Token and buried it in the ground. The ground shone silvery-blue and expanded into a dome in three seconds.
DING!!!
[You used a Mytril Token - Village Creation]
.
DING!!!
[Please name your village.]
"It's a new era, chaos will rage, but I will establish an unconquerable civilization," Uno thought for a moment before naming his village "I name my village, Invictus Village."
.
DING!!!
[Congratulations! You established a village]
.
Then, from the spot where Uno buried the village token, a wooden manor arose. The wooden manor is a two-story building. The silverly-blue dome was sucked into the interior of the wooden manor.
"Shit! That's a free house," Uno expressed as he walked into the wooden manor. The wooden manor's entrance door is a double door that navigates into a hall. A Mythril Pillar inscribed with "Invictus Village" stood in the center of the hall. The wooden manor's second level contains a bedroom and an office. The office room was small, with only one chair, one cupboard, and a table. There was a Lord's Seal engraved with 'Uno Delou' on the table, as well as a Village Seal, etched with 'Invictus Village' that can provide information on the village's stats.

"Hm... shit! How can I increase my population in this area?" Uno is worried and there is no option for a blueprint to build a structure.

"Okay, that's a direction for me to follow but the population is still a problem." Uno still worries about this trouble.
Then there was a knocking sound that came from the entrance wooden door. Uno quickly readied for combat and approached the entrance door with caution.
When Uno opened the door, he noticed ten people dressed in rugged clothing. Someone walks forward to introduce themselves. "My name is Randy Cooper, and we are currently looking for a place to stay. We previously lived in Kinsley Village, but it was raided by bandits. We hope your kindness will accept us to stay in your village." Then, all of them proceeded to kneel to plead and seek safety.
"No need to kneel. I am Uno Delou, the Village Chief of Invictus Village, and I welcome you all," Uno replied joyfully. He desperately needs people to join his village.
Randy Cooper expressed gratitude to Uno, saying, "Thank you very much, Head Chief Uno." The entire group also expressed gratitude to Uno.
.
DING!!! [Ten people joined your Invictus Village]
Uno viewed the [Village Information] and found that the Village Population had increased to 10/500. "Alright!" exclaimed Uno.
Uno then inquired to the group about how they knew this was a village. Randy Cooper replied, "This wooden manor is the standard building for the Village Chief's Residence."
Uno nods and invites them to have a rest inside the wooden manor. Uno then asks the ten new residents what their former occupations were.
.
Uno discovered Randy Cooper was a member of the militia. There are also two men and two women farmers, one lumberman, two masons, and two fishermen among the group of individuals.
Randy Cooper also taught Uno about how Combat Power is measured in Myriad. If all of your core stats are only at 10, you will have a combat power of โช(1), and each 10-point increment in all base stats will raise your combat power to โช(2), and so on.
Uno, as Village Chief, has access to the villager's [Personal Information]. Randy Cooper's Personal Information revealed that his Combat Power is โช(1), however, he has a passive skill ability [Bow Aptitude] that increases his hit rate when wielding a bow and arrow.
The combat power of the other villagers is also โช(1), but their skill is focused on their particular occupation.
.
Uno then inquired about Kinsley Village with Randy Cooper. The village was primarily an agricultural community. Almost all of the inhabitants of the village are farmers, and the Village Chief is the lone true soldier. The village has a population of somewhere between 100 and 120 residents. Randy Cooper was a member of the Village Chief's militia, but they were raided during the night by forest bandits.
They were able to evacuate because the Village Chief engaged the forest bandits, and Randy Cooper serves as the person in charge of guiding the people's retreat. The fleeing villagers were pursued, and the other militias died one by one until they were finally able to escape. Kinsley Village was located in the far south, approximately 4 hours of travel time at full pace.
Uno then gave the group an hour to recover before revealing his intention to visit Kinsley Village. The new settlers were astonished and expressed their feelings; some are joyful, while others are concerned because the village was raided by forest bandits. Uno believes he can gain something by searching Kinsley Village for auxiliary instruments for chopping trees or planting. "You don't have to be worried; all you'll have to do is guide me to Kinsley Village."
"Randy, follow me and lead me to Kinsley Village," Uno said, continuing, "The real reason we need to check the situation in Kinsley Village is to scout some details about the forest bandits to ensure that we are prepared for any scenario."
The new villagers calmed down, their eyes burning with commitment, as they conveyed their support by asking if they could assist in any other manner.
Uno instructed the villagers to remain in Invictus Village to safeguard it and gather essential supplies. Uno then encouraged Randy Cooper to lead him to Kinsley Village.
