"Why should I care about the other villages exactly?"

Oh, I don't know... maybe because you're a hunter, and hunters make money by taking requests from villages endangered by monsters? So in other words, you'd better care, or else your only source of income is going to be thrown out the window and you'll be living on your own, defenseless, in a monster-infested world.

A good economy helps everyone, and if that starts to fail, then eventually everyone is dragged down with it.

And besides... flaunting a lack of care about the well-being of entire settlements makes you sound like a sociopath.
