A Crossover World, Starting from Scratch

Wait, what? Oh, heavens! Other people are reborn as emperors or ministers, but I come back as a village chief?

Fine, a village chief it is. But why are there only a fool and a madman in the whole village, along with dozens of elderly, young, sick, and disabled people?

The village idiot: "Our village chief is a real genius, way smarter than me!"

Madman Yang from next door: "Chief, you're the craziest person I've ever met in my life!"

Earthly Immortal: "I've traveled the world searching for a true immortal, never realizing one was right here in this village!"

Emperor of Western Chu: "If you would leave the village, sir, I'd treat you as a man of the highest standing. What? You won't? Then I'll become sworn brothers with you and give you half my empire! How does that sound?"
